- [6:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wait for Runic? Y/n
- [6:08 PM] Runic: y
- [6:08 PM] Runic: ...
- [6:08 PM] Runic: k I'm ready
- [6:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright
- [6:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Players Those who are attending, come here and sound off, and pick a person for recap for us.
- [6:09 PM] Nanomachiner: One, finally
- [6:10 PM] Runic: Two, secondly
- [6:11 PM] Mizuki: three
- [6:11 PM] Mizuki: I can do a quick recap if you guys want
- [6:11 PM] Nanomachiner: Please do
- [6:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Faerie
- [6:14 PM] Runic: Yes please Mizu
- [6:14 PM] Mizuki: After activating the first tower mechanism (and eating wyvern eggs there), we made our way to the second tower on the market district. There, we found an arena with a few undead in battle and a bored lich watching the fights. Knowing that we didn't stand a chance against the lich, we decided to avoid the arena and climb the tower to do what we went there for. There we found a skeleton minotaur and killed it, now we just need to activate the second mechanism there.
- [6:16 PM] Mizuki: Everyone that ate the wyvern eggs register as undead too, so the nearby mindless undead don't even notice the player characters. Alicia is carrying 2 wyvern eggs with her, but those aren't dead and sooner or later will hatch.
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As an additional note, the effect from the wyvern egg is wearing off shortly.
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now, then, thank you for that.
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tower of iron, magma, and forge stands beside the arena... And you, adventurers, stands in the topmost chamber.
- [6:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The room is still messy, filled with rocks and ores of unknown origin, originally intented for tribute or trade with the Azers beyond the portal for when the tower was maintained.
- [6:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now, it is nothing more than just a room with a lot of rocks and some containers of note.
- [6:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [6:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of the mechanism here, it seems that the skeleton minotaur, with its tempering of its greataxe, has already activated it. The pool of magma shines brilliantly with raw, pulsating power.
- [6:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bookshelves and the chests are still untouched, and.... Perhaps those who are "falling awake" would feel a bit dizzy and disoriented? It might've been a while since you've had a bad night of sleep.
- [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In the most literal sense. :smugpopo:
- [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I'll leave the stage to you all, as you fade into the nightmare; What will you do, adventurers who are present/becoming present?
- [6:20 PM] Mizuki: (maybe we should wait a little more, is Halnas here?)
- [6:20 PM] Mizuki: (pls report in everyone :sadpopo:)
- [6:20 PM] Runic: As Lexon faded into the dreamworld filled with despair once again, he takes in view of the unfamilier and discomrting scene in front of him
- [6:21 PM] Runic: "Uh"
- [6:21 PM] Runic: "UHHHH"
- [6:21 PM] Runic: "I don't remember this place at all, I know its been awhile since I was dragged in here, but this place doesn't ring a bell" Lexon says sweating a little
- [6:22 PM] Nanomachiner: Disorientation covers Denalthir's face as she awakens to the surroundings and the familiar faces
- [6:22 PM] Nanomachiner: "Keheh, been a while" She grins at the adventurers
- [6:22 PM] Mizuki: "... Hi Lexon, Denalthir been a while" - Said Alicia waving - "Skipped a few nights of sleep?"
- [6:22 PM] Bot Fodder: John... looks about the same as usual. Actually, did he even leave at all?
- [6:23 PM] Runic: Lexon shrugs
- [6:24 PM] Runic: "More like its been really messed up recently, been sleeping in the morning due to the staying up late at night"
- [6:24 PM] Runic: "Perhaps that's why I haven't been having any nightmares" Lexon ponders
- [6:24 PM] Nanomachiner: Stretching and looking around, she shrugs off her lack of sleep carelessly
- [6:25 PM] Nanomachiner: "Better n' whatever's goin on with almost-death, catch me up on the whatImisseds"
- [6:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or, perhaps, a more sinister note, that the nightmare's eating into your reality in ways, making you living through waking nightmares... But that's another topic,.
- [6:26 PM] Mizuki: "Well, happens." - Said Alicia with a shrug while explaining what happened to both Denalthir and Lexon.(edited)
- [6:26 PM] Runic: "I see... sounds like you guys had a rad time while me and Del weren't here"
- [6:28 PM] Faerie: (Alright, I am able, I am willing, and I have enough milk for the following 4 hours)
- [6:28 PM] Mizuki: (oh, also, Shadow made a contract with an imp and there's a dead archangel(?) with us. Those are the celestial beings/fiends that were on the jars back on the first tower)
- [6:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow is playing with Tot, and does not seem to have noticed that you were here... or that you were gone. The tiny imp, of which you might've not seen before, gazes at Denalthir and Lexon curiously for a moment.
- [6:29 PM] Nanomachiner: "Oh...? Hello there."
- [6:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The impish cat- catish imp- THE FIENDISH CREATURE. Tot merely hides closer to Shadow while Shadow proclaims how Tot will gain newfound power if it gets "Blessed by magma"
- [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot seems to be completely against the idea of going skinny-dipping in portal-pool of elemental fire.
- [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle sights, and works her rifle a bit...
- NEW MESSAGES
- [6:30 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir bends down and looks the small creature directly in the eyes
- [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot hisses. "Hey, hey, no looking at Tot from above!"
- [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Doomwind! YOUR NAME IS DOOMWIND! DOOM. WIINNNND!" Shadow claims.
- [6:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot covers its face with its paws, obviously exhausted.
- [6:31 PM] Runic: Despite already being short himself, Lexon squats down further towards Tot
- [6:31 PM] Runic: "Hey there little buddy"
- [6:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Master. A word." Azura paused for a moment, before telepathically communicates with Alicia. "I am very glad to have met you."
- [6:31 PM] Faerie: That was strange. Razmik felt as if he hadn't seen either Lexon or Denalthir for about two months and twenty-something odd days, or so. But no, that couldn't be right; it had been less than a day, in ''nightmare time''.
- [6:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The words left unsaid, "Instead of Shadow", seems to acertain itself.
- [6:32 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir "Hmphs" at the small creature seemingly bored, and approaches Alicia. "Hello there~" She holds a hand up in greeting
- [6:32 PM] Faerie: Razmik (who had been there all along, and obviously did not materialize right next to the rest of the crew right this instant) waves at both adventurers. ''Well met''. Somewhat of a lukewarm greeting
- [6:34 PM] Mizuki: "Me too." - Said Alicia telepathically with a smile - "Poor Tot, imp or not, having shadow as a master seems suffering"
- [6:34 PM] Bot Fodder: John has a mind to greet the others for some reason, but he's not sure why, so he disregards it.
- [6:34 PM] Faerie: ''Uh, back to our task at hand, though'', Razmik ponders out loud. ''Alicia, you said something about the axe before? Can you tell us anything about this particular tower's ritual?''
- [6:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (So, uh. Is the tower active?)
- [6:34 PM] Mizuki: Alicia greets Denalthir back
- [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Very. Unless that pulsating pool of fiery mana is a lie.)
- [6:35 PM] Faerie: (Seems like it, but we're not aware of it, last I knew)
- [6:35 PM] Mizuki: "It's already active, it seems" - She said - "That minotaur already did the job, coming here was a waste of time after all."
- [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well..." Recelle frowns. "But why is it trying to activate the mage towers as well?"
- [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Is someone else trying to use the mana as well?"
- [6:37 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe he was just trying to enhance his axe or something." - Answered Alicia - "No idea, really..."
- [6:38 PM] Bot Fodder: John 'remembers' something abruptly. "Well... uh. Wasn't there that necromancer downstairs? There's no way he wouldn't be aware of this, right?"
- [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shrugs, non-commital. She doesn't seem overly concerned about the minor detail.
- [6:38 PM] Faerie: That didn't sound quite right, to Razmik. He shrugs. ''Waste of time? We had no way of knowing it was done, though... and Recelle is right, doesn't it bother you, that in undeath a minotaur sought to reactivate the mechanism?''. He pauses for a moment, before pointing out the obvious - ''It must have been here for some reason.''
- [6:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The lich?" Aureil floats out from Recelle's blouse. "Or perhaps another evil power sought to abuse the situation?"
- [6:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lantern archon "blinks" for a few times, looking at the new comers.
- [6:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What the- why are there more of you?"
- [6:39 PM] Bot Fodder: (THE NUMBER IS ALWAYS WRONG)
- [6:40 PM] Mizuki: "It does seem strange to me, Raz" - Said Alicia - "Now that I think about it... It was an undead that sent us to do this job too, wasn't it?"
- [6:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot turns to Aureil. "Are you finally, like, broken, lamp thing? They've been with us the whole time."
- [6:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Aureil dims for a moment, quiet all of a sudden.
- [6:40 PM] Faerie: (Fuck.)
- [6:40 PM] Mizuki: (the plot thickens)
- [6:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There's an unprecedent evil with you, adventurers." Aureil slowly speaks, its aura of menacing light glowing. "A curse, perhaps? Or something else..."
- [6:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... It would be a horrible night to have a curse." Aureil relents, unwilling to push the matter for the time being.
- [6:42 PM] Faerie: Razmik shifts around, uneasy. The obvious ''they're friends from the district!'' white lie would be no good, with Tot (and Shadow, for that matter) thinking they all had been present from the start.
- [6:42 PM] Mizuki: "Activating the last tower might be a terrible mistake" - Said Alicia worried, paying no mind to Aureil for now.
- [6:42 PM] Runic: Lexon shifts his eyes nervously
- [6:42 PM] Faerie: ((What a horrible night for Castlevania references))
- [6:42 PM] Bot Fodder: "Is it okay if I say I'm a little offended by that?" John says, somewhat poutily. Who's that glowball calling an unprecedented evil? :T
- [6:43 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir listens patiently, trying to put it all together, while sorting out these new faces
- [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes. That might be. Whatever it is, I'll follow and assist you so that i am able to find my trumpet." Aureil does not have seen to notice John much!
- [6:43 PM] Runic: 'Did this lamp thing know I drank a ton of gutter crour before sleeping' Lexon nervously thought to himself(edited)
- [6:43 PM] Nanomachiner: ...Or were they new? She wasn't sure, but they seemed to belong somehow
- [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aureil then floats back to Recelle's pocket, where it hides its light and presence.
- [6:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "So, anyway. I think we should go look downstairs after all." John changes the subject because reasons.
- [6:44 PM] Mizuki: Alicia reads the scroll, looking for ways to deactivate the mechanism.
- [6:44 PM] Faerie: ''Downstairs.''
- [6:44 PM] Faerie: ''Ah, downstairs. We do not want to go downstairs'', Razmik blurts out.
- [6:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You don't deactivate the pool once it's open - you merely stop fueling it. After a few days, it'll run out if the link to Elemental Plane of Fire isn't strengthened.
- [6:45 PM] Mizuki: "Hold on John, don't you get it?" - Asked Alicia - "There was an undead activating this thing, AND we were sent by an undead to activate them as well!"
- [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: here's a quick map of the current floor:
- [6:45 PM] Faerie: (But we didn't, did we?)
- [6:45 PM] Mizuki: (that ghoul sent us)
- [6:45 PM] Mizuki: (didn't it?)
- [6:46 PM] Mizuki: (r-remind us, DM ;-;)
- [6:46 PM] Faerie: (I'm fairly certain the idea came up BEFORE we met that one ghoul)
- [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What you can do is activate the city-wide defense, and... Then travel toward where the disaster took place, I suppose." The Dwarf shrugs. "Which is... At the metropolis northward." )
- [6:47 PM] Mizuki: "Am I mistaken?" - Asked Alicia confused - "It's been only a few days, but it feels so long ago for some reason..."
- [6:47 PM] Faerie: (Checking logs, wasshoi)
- [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It was the idea from the Dwarf who wants to have you get things safe here, and then head north to end everything. )
- [6:48 PM] Faerie: (Oooh, so it's from even before than I thought.)
- [6:50 PM] Faerie: ''Anyways, John - downstairs? There's a tunnel downstairs, leading to the arena. Wouldn't want to bump into our guest of honor tonight: A lich'', Razmik gets back to the subject of ''downstairs'', while going around the pool of molten fire to check inside the furnace. Was there anything noteworthy near or around the walls?
- [6:50 PM] Faerie: Come to think of it, he hadn't taken a good look at the room yet.
- [6:51 PM] Bot Fodder: "Yeah, that's who I meant. The necromancer."
- [6:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, the furnace.
- [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a Religion, Fae.
- [6:52 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1 MINUS ONE TO RELIGION
- [6:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 11, Result: 10
- [6:52 PM] Runic: (Solid!)
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You recognize a holy symbol on the forge, similar to that of... You don't quite understand, but it seems to remind you of....
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A certain God of Forge?
- [6:53 PM] Mizuki: "..." - Apparently she was mistaken after all. No one seems to be worried about the fact an undead was activating the thing. - "Azura, was it the ghoul that sent us? I don't remember, it feels so long ago for some reason... Maybe I'm just tired"
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyway, the holy symbol glows with the residual heat.
- [6:53 PM] Bot Fodder: (>Paladin with minus one to religion)
- [6:53 PM] Bot Fodder: (U wot)
- [6:54 PM] Bot Fodder: (Wouldn't the nuns have beaten that out of you?)(edited)
- [6:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Being unable to rest properly does that to you, Master." Azura gently nuzzles Alicia. "Do not fret. It wasn't the ghoul, last I understand - was she not a servant of Lathander?"
- [6:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can't beat knowledge into stupid)
- [6:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And paladins are thick-skulled)
- [6:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik, busied with the furnace, turns his head for a second for an off-hand remark. ''Can't you tell liars apart from honest people? I don't think the ghoul was lying!''
- [6:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (No, but you can beat the stupid out so God can come in!)
- [6:55 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, probably. Being born a non-variant human does a number to your IQ score, though)
- [6:56 PM] Mizuki: "I see... And yeah, according to her she was a servant of Lathander" - Asnwered Alicia telepathically while walking towards Razmik.
- [6:56 PM] Mizuki: "Found anything?"
- [6:57 PM] Faerie: ''Hey, come look at this symbol! I am honestly out of ideas as to what it might be'', Razmik instructs. Well, he did know it wa a holy symbol, but maybe someone else would know of what, exactly.
- [6:57 PM] Nanomachiner: "Hm"
- [6:57 PM] Faerie: (PLEASE SISTER I WON'T FORGET MY VERSES AGAIN)
- [6:57 PM] Mizuki: Alicia examines the symbol. She might know something about it.(edited)
- [6:58 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir looks at it not expecting much
- [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it
- [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (also >analize)
- [6:58 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+3
- [6:58 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 6, Result: 9
- [6:58 PM] Nanomachiner: roll 1d20+3 religion check lads
- [6:58 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 15, Result: 18
- [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Denalthir.
- [6:59 PM] Runic: roll 1d20-1
- [6:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 20, Result: 19
- [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You recognize the symbol as - Lexon as well -
- [6:59 PM] Mizuki: "No idea what that is" - She said with a shrug.
- [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: that of Hephaestus, God of the Forge, smiths, craftsman, artisans... the title goes on.
- [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His domains include, of all things, metal and volcanoes.
- [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Furthermore; Both of you recognize this holy symbol as being charged with a faint divine energy.
- [7:00 PM] Faerie: (No wonder Lexon knows about it, it sounds like something Dwarves would like)
- [7:01 PM] Runic: "Oh, I remember this symbol" Lexon perks up(edited)
- [7:01 PM] Mizuki: (we greek mithology now?)
- [7:01 PM] Bot Fodder: (Didn't you know that Alicia was a professional twice over? etc.)
- [7:02 PM] Nanomachiner: "Oh...Guess I do recognize it..." Denalthir conveys the symbol's relevance to the party
- [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (FOr a moment, I was going to write Purphoros, but caught myself.)
- [7:02 PM] Faerie: (That sounds like a ''Wizard bonus'' joke, ahahahaha)
- [7:02 PM] Runic: "Some god of smithing and junk, we have this symbol on the back of our fortune cookies to remind us of one of the gods we worship at the back of the village" Lexon adds
- [7:02 PM] Mizuki: (;-;)
- [7:03 PM] Faerie: ''Fortune cookies?'', Razmik repeats, not being able to help wanting to know more about the most important part of Lexon's explanation.
- [7:04 PM] Bot Fodder: (analrapist.swf)
- [7:05 PM] Runic: "Yeah pretty much just cookies or I guess wafers heated between embroided iron, goes pretty good with the the drinks at the tavern"
- [7:05 PM] Runic: "They're suppose to bring good luck, but I just buy them because they taste good"(edited)
- [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>because they taste good)
- [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That's because you are lucky and got the good ones, you see)
- [7:06 PM] Faerie: ''Either way, what could that minotaur's axe have to do with this Hephaestus?'' Divine remnants seemed unreasonably hard to come by, end of the world and all...
- [7:06 PM] Mizuki: "Does it have a paper inside with a small phrase about your fortune too?" - Asked Alicia - "I used to eat those when I was younger. The diviners on the wizard school used to make them."
- [7:06 PM] Bot Fodder: "I've heard of those!" John remembers hearing that adventurers love them because it increases something called L.C.K. He's not sure what the acronym is for.(edited)
- [7:07 PM] Mizuki: "Not gonna lie, the taste was pretty bland" - Alicia commented
- [7:07 PM] Faerie: (HOLD UP CAN YOU MAKE PORTENT COOKIES)
- [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes. (?!) )
- [7:07 PM] Runic: "Nah just a symbol indented to it, I can't even imagine having a piece of paper mixed in with a cookie"
- [7:07 PM] Runic: "ANYWAY"
- [7:07 PM] Faerie: (((((FUUUUCK)))))
- [7:07 PM] Runic: "I think we have bigger things to worry about"
- [7:07 PM] Mizuki: (F U N)
- [7:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (It requires a skill focus in Culinary Spellcraft.)
- [7:08 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah, right..."
- [7:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon is right.
- [7:08 PM] Mizuki: (brb)
- [7:08 PM] Faerie: ''Fortune cookies, you say...''
- [7:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The fiery symbol glows faintly, radiating or perhaps reflecting heat from the forge...
- [7:08 PM] Faerie: You know, maybe it was the by-product of hanging out with a Wizard for too long, but something sparked in Razmik's ungenius mind. Fortune. Cakes.
- [7:09 PM] Bot Fodder: John clears his throat. "Well, either way, if the tower is working, then we only have one left, right?"
- [7:10 PM] Faerie: Uh, Razmik puts his hand to the symbol on the furnace, and traces it along. What was it like, anyway?
- [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4
- [7:10 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 4, Result: 4
- [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: First of all
- [7:10 PM] Mizuki: (>fortune cakes)
- [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Take 4 fire damage as the divine flame suddenly enters into you from your fingertip.
- [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Secondly, gain Blessing of Hephaestus.
- [7:11 PM] Faerie: ''That sounds about it, J-'' Razmik winces and takes his hand back, as quickly as he can muster. Stove, hot. Bad.
- [7:11 PM] Faerie: Wait, what?
- [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Blessing of Hephaestus (1 Use): Calling upon the divine spark of the God of Forge, you are able to dispel evil and all shadowy effects.
- [7:12 PM] Nanomachiner: "...Whoa. Are you alright?"
- [7:12 PM] Bot Fodder: (It's a shame the only group member who actually worshipped that pantheon isn't here.)(edited)
- [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While you have Blessing of Hephaestus, you make checks regarding to blacksmithing and the like with advantage.
- [7:12 PM] Faerie: (Crap.)
- [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I know right.)
- [7:13 PM] Mizuki: "Well... Shall we get going then?" - Asked Alicia - "Wether we plan to activate the last tower or not, we need to get there first. Someone might already be activating it at this very moment."
- [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [7:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 85, Result: 85
- [7:14 PM] Nanomachiner: "We really should." Denalthir felt fuzzy on the progress, but she knew they had to get going and soon
- [7:14 PM] Faerie: ''It's fine, it's fine. That didn't burn so bad.'', Razmik says, trying to remain calm. At the very least, it was true that compared to the fight they just had been in, a burn like that wasn't even worth mentioning.
- [7:15 PM] Faerie: (Wait a fucking second. >Razmik burns his hand
- >Blister on my hand still not done healing
- Koooogaaaaaaaa ;_;)
- [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not my fault you decided to poke at a fiery symbol with your finger)
- [7:15 PM] Runic: (kek)
- [7:16 PM] Mizuki: (rip)
- [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ahem!
- [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Adventurers, what will you do now?
- [7:16 PM] Mizuki: "Lets go then." - Said Alicia adjusting her bag - "To the forest now. Anyone wanna lead?"
- [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Ah." Recelle says, as she's rummage through the nearby chest.
- [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Here's a Potion of Fire Resistance."
- [7:17 PM] Bot Fodder: (You didn't loot after the fight?)
- [7:17 PM] Bot Fodder: (Pls.)
- [7:17 PM] Faerie: Weell, erm, ''what do we do about the lava pool, though? Is it really alright to leave it like that?'', Razmik points out.
- [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Indeed, there's a cask of potions - most of them empty - all labeled in Common: [Potion of Fire Resistance] and with a note [Use with forge.]
- [7:17 PM] Faerie: He felt the need to ask how it wasn't eating through the stone floor and down below, but it probably didn't matter at this point. Wizards...
- [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a set of blacksmithing tools, including tong and fire-resistant specialty gloves - bulky and intended for smithing or baking
- [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are 2 Potions of Fire Resistance that remains intact.
- [7:18 PM] Faerie: (>or baking)
- [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As for the leading part: Indeed. Shadow's preoccupied with Doomwind at the moment.
- [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And Recelle seems like the type that would rather not.
- [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll lead!" Tot volunteers, if none of you will.
- [7:20 PM] Faerie: Razmik wonders. How dumb would it be to use heavy, dangerous blacksmithing tools to cook instead?
- [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The catlike fiend raises one paw, obviously with ill intentions.
- [7:20 PM] Mizuki: (Tot leading doesn't seem a really good idea!)
- [7:21 PM] Runic: "Hmm, taking all of these blacksmitthing tools would be too heavy, so I'll just bring with me the tongs and gloves incase they're needed"
- [7:21 PM] Runic: Lexon puts the tongs and gloves in his bag
- [7:21 PM] Nanomachiner: "I'm not opposed." Denalthir feels like letting the imp lead for literally no reason!
- [7:21 PM] Faerie: Not bothering with a ''is this a good idea'' session, he suggests they pack the gloves, in case anyone - in this case, seemingly Lexon - had plans for them.
- [7:22 PM] Faerie: ''Wait'', he interrupts, ''does Tot even know where we're headed?''
- [7:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Totally!" Tot lies.
- [7:22 PM] Faerie: He gives the imp a certain look. You know, one of those looks you give someone when you don't know what their deal is.
- [7:23 PM] Mizuki: "..." - Alicia stares at Tot - "Well, fine by me... I still remember the last time someone leaded badly on this party. Did that guy even survived the punishment? Haven't seen him ever since" - She asked Raz with a wink.
- [7:23 PM] Faerie: Razmik attempts to, ah, negotiate. In a way. ''Does that mean you're willing to stick your neck out in front, ready to be the first in our formation to be struck should we get attacked on our way there?''
- [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
- [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot rubs its chin with a paw for a moment.
- [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Now that I think about it, while I am a perfectly capable leader, a familiar's job is to protect its master."
- [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot slinks back to Shadow and climbs up the chuuni's legs while... Azura seems to be hiding a snicker.
- [7:25 PM] Faerie: Razmik just gives Alicia a sly smile, and points out how the princess would be proud.
- [7:26 PM] Faerie: He then says, to no one in particular, ''That's reasonable, then. Let's get going!''
- [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a party formation. Note that you are not longer able to "blend with the crowd", so to speak.

- [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you lots busy yourselves in the tower... It started snowing outside.
- [7:27 PM] Mizuki: Alicia shrugs while smiling and climbs down the stairs - "Lead on for now, Raz, John. Someone pack our new stuff, my bag is pretty full at the moment"(edited)
- [7:27 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir heads up the back of the line
- [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A cold, chilly draft, followed by a silent fall of flakes of snow. White and serene, bringing an eeree silence to the town, masking the moaning of the dead by another degree...
- [7:27 PM] Mizuki: I stand behind John and Raz
- [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shrugs and takes the Potions.
- [7:28 PM] Runic: Lexon takes hit place at the front of the party as well
- [7:28 PM] Faerie: (Lay on Hands on self for 5 HP)
- [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow nods, and points the party to the rooftop.
- [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are heading down to the forest, correct?
- [7:29 PM] Faerie: For how long had it been snowing? Like, would you say there was a layer of snow already formed on the ground?
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And to reach the final tower?
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: About just under 10 minutes.
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ground's barely wet and slick with snow.

- [7:33 PM] Mizuki: (me)
- [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You notice footsteps in the snow behind you where you just were.
- [7:33 PM] Mizuki: (18)
- [7:33 PM] Nanomachiner: (13 exactly)
- [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Someone invisible is following you.
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle smiles at Denalthir, "I have one from you, which I've kept with me this entire time. Ask me anytime you wish for it, friend."
- [7:34 PM] Faerie: (14 here, huh.)
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (This is super awkward as fuck, by the way.)
- [7:35 PM] Mizuki: Alicia slowly starts falling back on the formation. She's going to get whoever is following them by surprise.
- [7:35 PM] Nanomachiner: "No no, that's for you! You'll keep that, and you'll stay alive!"
- [7:35 PM] Mizuki: "Careful now, Azura. Do you see that?" - She asked telepathically
- [7:35 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir continues in conversation, thorougly engrossed
- [7:35 PM] Faerie: ''Hey, we're going to keep pretending we're being followed anytime soon?'', Razmik asks Lexon, to his side.
- [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Yes. Be careful. That's not invisibility."
- [7:36 PM] Faerie: (What's awkward, Koga?)
- [7:36 PM] Mizuki: "Not invisibility?" - She asked
- [7:36 PM] Mizuki: (telepathically!)
- [7:36 PM] Runic: "What are you going on about man"
- [7:37 PM] Faerie: Noticing Alicia falling behind, Razmik retraces his steps, as well. ''Looks like Alicia's doing something about it already''
- [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura growls softly. "Something stinks... of an old 'friend'."
- [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The footsteps, noticing the party's behavior, stopped.
- [7:37 PM] Faerie: (Ah, maybe it's Izzy?)
- [7:37 PM] Faerie: (Wait, dragons don't have feet...)

- [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "H, hey, that's no way to greet someone." A sniveling voice sounds from the snow, on the other end of the building rooftop.
- [7:40 PM] Nanomachiner: "Wait hold on Alicia, Recelle what's happened?"
- [7:40 PM] Nanomachiner: "Wh-where'd that come from?"
- [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A thin man with bags under his eyes, wearing the robe and symbol of Mask steps out from seemingly nowhere.
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He smiles at you, his face darken by a degree. "No matter, I suppose I'll just do it earlier rather than later. You have something of mine..."
- [7:41 PM] Faerie: ''What was that?'', Razmik screams from behind Alicia.
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is the Cleric of Mask you've encountered back in the day.
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The "old friend" of Alexander, the one rumored to have influenced the Hero to destroy the world.
- [7:42 PM] Faerie: Ahh...
- [7:42 PM] Mizuki: Alicia quickly takes out her ruby of power and recovers one spell charge, casting a fiery hold person on the cleric.(edited)
- [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He adjusts his hat slightly, obviously annoyed at the snow for revealing him.
- [7:42 PM] Faerie: Razmik realizes his probable intention, from his words, and inquires.

- [7:59 PM] Faerie: Sanctuary as bonus action, pass.

- [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Chosen stands back up, quietly.
- [8:49 PM] Halnas: unobstrusively*
- [8:49 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir struggles to shuffle backward, probably not making much if any progress
- [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Despite the mask of shadow, you feel a death glare from the Chosen, and a chill down your spine.
- [8:50 PM] Mizuki: "Nice guy" - Alicia said with a shrug
- [8:50 PM] Faerie: Flabbergasted, Razmik looks at the cleric. Did he really wanna keep going?
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, he, too, retreats, brushing past the zombies who are stumbling toward him.
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fading into the crowd of undead as if nothing.
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Most of you are, for all intents and purposes, still stunned for an hour.
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I suggest those able to move still quickly remedy that, or make camp for a short rest.
- [8:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (Is stunned the same as unconscious?)
- [8:51 PM] Halnas: (stunned is uh)
- [8:51 PM] Faerie: ''Tch. Let's not go after him, I'm sure he has his ways of slipping unnoticed'', Razmik tsks. Tch.
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: S t u n n e d
- • A stunned creature is incapacitated (see the condition), can’t move, and can speak only falteringly.
- • The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
- • Attack rolls against the creature have advantage
- [8:51 PM] Bot Fodder: (Who's stunned?)
- [8:51 PM] Nanomachiner: (Me :sadpopo:)
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Anyone under 30 HP)
- [8:52 PM] Runic: (Me)
- [8:52 PM] Halnas: "We need to retreat and find a safe place to recover," Helios whispers as he helps the stunned ppl get a move on
- [8:53 PM] Halnas: (who is down? like 0 hp - anyone?)
- [8:53 PM] Bot Fodder: "WHAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT I THINK WE SHOULD FIND SOMEPLACE SAFE AND--" Somebody should probably stop John before the Lich comes back.
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... That was extremely chaotic, but the aftermath's reasonably contained. The zombies on the street are in high alert, and are starting to congregate toward your location.
- [8:53 PM] Faerie: Razmik gets the rest of the gang going - Retrieve those in need, first of all: they'd have to get Recelle, Shadow, Denalthir and Lex out of there
- [8:53 PM] Faerie: ''JOHN''
- [8:53 PM] Nanomachiner: "...Kkkkhhhh..."(edited)
- [8:53 PM] Faerie: ''Please.''
- [8:53 PM] Mizuki: Alicia doesn't seem to hear anything
- [8:53 PM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow stumbles up, waving his hands, seemingly legit.
- [8:53 PM] Nanomachiner: Okay, Denalthir foams a little. Someone should help her up.
- [8:53 PM] Faerie: Razmik hurriedly explains what just happened, starting with ''don't say a word until I'm done''
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm
- [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Those who are stunned are also blinded and deafened
- [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: so they will not be able to hear you, Razmik.
- [8:54 PM] Bot Fodder: "Uh?" John half understands Razmik's words by reading his lips. He more or less gets it. You hope.
- [8:54 PM] Halnas: Helios helps out Denalthir then
- [8:54 PM] Runic: "Ju..st... just.. drag... me...away"
- [8:54 PM] Halnas: roll 1d20+6 medicine to see what's wrong
- [8:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 16, Result: 22
- [8:54 PM] Faerie: Fugg.
- [8:54 PM] Bot Fodder: John picks up whoever needs picking up.
- [8:54 PM] Runic: "My....dagg..er"(edited)
- [8:54 PM] Mizuki: Looking through Azura, Alicia slowly approaches Lexon and helps him up, carrying him on her shoulders.
- [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "This... reminds me of the battlefield..." Recelle says quietly, while the street and a couple of zombies gently burn.
- [8:55 PM] Runic: "pi..c..k..up"
- [8:55 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir feels a hand tugging at her and taps it a few times to check if it's friendly
- [8:55 PM] Faerie: Well, erm. Razmik takes out a piece of paper, a small vial of ink and a pen. Y'know, medieval pen, whatever. He tries to hurry it the hell up and write ''Lich appeared and blasted that other guy. Do not shout, Lich was angry and wanted to watch his arena fights.''
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: >blind
- [8:56 PM] Mizuki: "We should get the hell out of here and get some rest, everyone" - She said, without hearing anything.
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: >written words down
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: Then he passes it around those struck down.
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: On the bright side, you've dissuaded the stalker that's been following you for the time being.
- [8:56 PM] Nanomachiner: (>>>>)
- NEW MESSAGES
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: (Just go with it, wew)
- [8:57 PM] Faerie: (Anyways, we literally have no ways of dealing with the stuns. That's ugly)
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I don't think so, no.)
- [8:57 PM] Mizuki: "Raz, can you carry Lexon for me?" - She asked walking towards him. Hopefully he wasn't deafened as well.
- [8:58 PM] Bot Fodder: John nods. Sure, any citizen has a right to complain about someone disturbing the peace.
- [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The rooftop is no place to make camp; beside for the zombies shambling toward you and surrounding the building (which isn't an issue), there's also the attention that was attracted by that fight.
- [8:58 PM] Faerie: Hmm. Pantomime? No, that wouldn't work either. Razmik was about to start clapping and making skeleton noises. Uhh...
- [8:58 PM] Faerie: ''Alright, can do''
- [8:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stands there waiting for Raz to take Lexon from her arms.
- [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow mutters something, while Tot quietly whimpers and gets picked up by the blind Shadow.
- [8:59 PM] Nanomachiner: (Who picked me up?)
- [8:59 PM] Mizuki: (Helios)
- [8:59 PM] Halnas: (princess carried)
- [8:59 PM] Faerie: Razmik offers Lexon a piggyback ride. He could carry him in a more conventional way, but well.
- [8:59 PM] Nanomachiner: (>tfw no princess)
- [8:59 PM] Halnas: (not even sure I can do it, tfw 8 str)
- [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow'll help out Recelle, as blind as he is.
- [9:00 PM] Faerie: ''Should we retrace, or keep going? I don't think staying near the arena would be a good choice''
- [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't worry, we don't have encumberance optional rule and we don't ask a lady about her weight around here.)
- [9:00 PM] Nanomachiner: (It's okay i'm thin forest ilk, should be fine...?)
- [9:00 PM] Faerie: (Denalthir is quite tall, though. The mental image's still there)
- [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The group naturally keeps close together, having been robbed of the senses.
- [9:01 PM] Halnas: "I don't know where to go - I'll follow wherever as long as we find a place to rest," Helios says, while struggling to carry Denalthir
- [9:01 PM] Mizuki: Alicia places Lexon on Raz's back. - "Can you climb on my shoulders, Azura? That way your vision would be closer to my own, making it easier for me to move."
- [9:01 PM] Nanomachiner: Denalthir keeps a hand on the figure carrying her, keeping that one sense of touch to keep herself grounded
- 🤔1
- [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura lazily climbs up onto top of Alicia, instead using her head.
- [9:01 PM] Mizuki: Walking around while looking through someone else's vision is confusing!(edited)
- [9:02 PM] Faerie: While waiting on the rest of the would-be carriers, Razmik pats Lexon's knee, over his shoulder, twice, then gives it a quick grasp. Hopefully that'd be enough to let him know he was in good hands!
- [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura stoops down a bit for Alicia. "There you are, Master."
- [9:02 PM] Bot Fodder: (Stepped away for a sec, did we make camp and stuff?)
- [9:03 PM] Faerie: (Nope, gotta move the hell out)
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We... need to find a way..." Recelle mutters. "Defeat that man. He'll be back. That's not good."
- [9:03 PM] Halnas: (looking for a place to camp first)
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow did not hear it, as he's deaf.
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [9:03 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 54, Result: 54
- [9:03 PM] Mizuki: "Thanks!" - She said smiling. - "Someone else lead on, I can't do it like this. Go on Raz."
- [9:03 PM] Faerie: ''I know!''
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are unlucky. The one that knows about the city , Shadow, is currently blind and unable to guide you.
- [9:04 PM] Mizuki: Hopefully she didn't speak too loud
- [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Something in Shadow's pocket vibrates, loudly, whirlling.
- [9:05 PM] Faerie: Razmik brings it up to the group - the detour to burned sanctuary of Mielikki? It wasn't that long of a walk. ''Assuming we can get there fast enough, I'm sure she'd be able to do something to aid us''
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That sounds as reasonable as anything else right now, Razmik.
- [9:05 PM] Faerie: (I was wondering about that. Man, did the shard clam up as soon as Mask's appeared.)
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow and Recelle have no input, as, well.
- [9:05 PM] Halnas: "Lead on, then - the sooner we get out of here, the better."
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The party limps away, slowly. What's normally a 10 minutes or so of a journey took over 30.
- [9:06 PM] Faerie: Alright. For the time being, everyone should just keep huddled together. Someone with most of their senses intact should be at the back in case the group gets another stalking. Just in case.
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The excited undead, the snow, and the robbed senses all grinds away at you.
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A blessing in disguise would be the drifting snow, obscuring you somewhat during your trek toward more familiar ground.
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [9:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 73, Result: 73
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [9:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 12, Result: 12
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20-4
- [9:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-4]: 9, Result: 5
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given the mixture of situations... Something missed the party.
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The party made it to the Temple of Mielikki without incident, a small grove of trees hiding a small shrine near the edge of the Temple District.
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The gate to the Temple is closed, but it seems that most of the fire damage that it has previously suffered is now only a marking on the wall.
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a familiar gate, indeed - it was the same one that John used previously, as a tower shield.(edited)
- [9:10 PM] Faerie: ''At least we should know our way around here - it won't be too long, now''. Razmik -seemingly having forgotten that some people just simply couldn't hear him'' encourages.
- [9:10 PM] Bot Fodder: John is pleased to see that the new frame and hinges are holding well.
- [9:10 PM] Faerie: What about the immediate surrounding area? Still any signs of burning? Charring? The temple was in pretty bad condition when they first visited.
- [9:10 PM] Mizuki: "That's a good idea" - Said Alicia smiling, now back to her senses
- [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Despite everything, the party didn't suffer much actual /damage/.
- [9:11 PM] Faerie: Oh, and the windows?
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If there's any burning or smothering cinder, the snow would've discouraged it.
- [9:11 PM] Mizuki: (I didn't take any damage, I think)
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are wooden boards where some of the broken windows once stood.
- [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So the building seems... Well, functioning as a shelter against the snow and the dead.
- [9:12 PM] Bot Fodder: Deciding that there's no point in standing out in the cold, John knocks politely.
- [9:12 PM] Faerie: ''I see...'' Razmik places Lexon down next to the wall, and sits him next to it, hoping he wouldn't find the cold threatening.
- [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: After you knocked on the door, you hear a famliar voice giving out a small eep.
- [9:12 PM] Faerie: ''No way of looking in? Well, you're right, we can just knock.''
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And some foot steps, before an eye peeks from the crack of the door, which then opens with a swing.
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa, the priestess, seems surprised by your arrival, but quickly ushers the confused party in for shelter against the elements.
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The snow is only going to get stronger from this point...
- [9:13 PM] Bot Fodder: John was about to knock again. "HELLO-- erm, sorry. Hello again. Sorry to barge in like this."
- [9:14 PM] Faerie: Razmik lets out a sigh, considerably tired. He's quick to greet the priest(ess), though. ''Good day. Fancy seeing you again!''
- [9:14 PM] Mizuki: "Hey Arisa, been a while" - Said Alicia smiling - "How are you holding up?"
- [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa blinks. "You... Don't look alright. Come on in, have a seat, you look soaked..."
- [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Inside, there's a lack of benches - what once was a place of worship has been largely cleared out. It's not like Arisa is holding any sermons or gathering, or the like.
- [9:15 PM] Faerie: ''Yes, sorry to drop by unannounced, and so suddenly. Some business turned sour, and we really had no better place to turn to'', he explains
- [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But there are stools, and with a few mats being brought out, the party has a few place to sit and relax.
- [9:16 PM] Faerie: (The hour's still not up, right? :sadpopo:)
- [9:16 PM] Halnas: "I try to put Denalthir over one of the mats as gently as possible"
- [9:16 PM] Halnas: (oops remove the "")
- [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's been about 30 minutes)
- [9:16 PM] Bot Fodder: John helps those blinded and/or stunned to a seat.
- [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa greets Alicia with a smile, as she helps the ragtag group down.
- [9:17 PM] Mizuki: (can we take a long rest?)
- [9:17 PM] Nanomachiner: A tight feeling clenches at Denalthir's chest as her inability to move as she wants for so long begins to take its toll
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You ... Can.)
- [9:17 PM] Mizuki: (:happypopo:)
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Whether if you would or should, is entirely another matter)
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Long rest is 8 hours.)
- [9:17 PM] Mizuki: (with a long rest we can recover everything, right?)
- [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes, of course, Mizu.)
- [9:18 PM] Halnas: (you can cancan)
- [9:18 PM] Faerie: Razmik turns to Arisa after everyone's seated and such, then begins talking again: ''Maybe it's best if we go into detail, but for now what matters is that a few of us lost sense. It's nigh impossible to communicate, and getting all the way here was a pain; not much in wounds past that, on the other hand''
- [9:19 PM] Bot Fodder: John explains the situation -- about how the party was attacked by an evil cleric, and many of them were afflicted by some spell.
- [9:19 PM] Halnas: Helios prays to his goddess for guidance
- [9:19 PM] Faerie: ''Honestly, that could have been worse. We don't know for how long they'll be like that, though.''
- [9:19 PM] Faerie: (I read that as ''you can, but... well, whatever''. I mean, do we really need one?)
- [9:19 PM] Mizuki: "Can you believe that, Arisa?" - Said Alicia taking out a bottle of ale from her pocket - "Saved by a lich..."
- [9:20 PM] Bot Fodder: (We mostly need time to recover from the effects of (Evil) Divine Word.)(edited)
- [9:20 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, I just think Long Rest is overkill right now)
- [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Saved is a strange way to put it; the Lich is obviously mad." Azura muses.
- [9:20 PM] Mizuki: She takes a sip and offers to the rest of the party - "Straight from Aleswel"
- [9:21 PM] Bot Fodder: John politely declines. He never drinks on duty.
- [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa doesn't seem too pleased at the new on how the party is attacked; In fact, she looks rather disturbed by the fact that there's a lich somewhere in the town.
- [9:21 PM] Faerie: (All is well, eh? Kill me.)
- [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But well, she assists where she can, giving those that are wounded some peace and quiet as well as a bit of divine healing.
- [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Those that are wounded are restored to full HP, but the Stun need to be ticked down.
- [9:22 PM] Bot Fodder: A short rest should cover it!
- [9:23 PM] Faerie: (Oh, neat. I was 21 away from max. Yeah, time to rest it up)
- [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am sorry.. .I wish I can help more." Arisa apologizes, seemingly on verge of tears.
- [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot...
- [9:23 PM] Mizuki: "Also, Arisa" - started Alicia - "Ever heard of some kind of abjuration spell that can protect this city from undead or whatever?"
- [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hides within Shadow's shirt, with only his head poking out. It seems that he absolutely despises the place.
- [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hmm? I..."
- [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [9:24 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 16, Result: 16
- [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Guess so, yeah." Arisa nods, affirmatively.
- [9:24 PM] Mizuki: "We were working on activating that thing on each tower, but some stuff happened, and it's worrying me"
- [9:24 PM] Faerie: ''It's alright!'', Razmik sympathizes, as he casts his eyes on the floor below ''I know how you feel, not being able to do a thing back then...''
- [9:24 PM] Nanomachiner: The healing helps quell the queasiness in Denalthir's stomach a little. She tries to calm down a bit, pushing her mind away from her inability to move her limbs much.
- [9:24 PM] Bot Fodder: "Huh? If there's a spell like that, wouldn't it be part of the Defense Grid?" John asks.
- [9:24 PM] Halnas: Helios visibly relaxes, finding comfort in whatever gives the imp unease
- [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa notices Denalthir's discomfort, and shifts a bit, placing Denalthir's head on her thighs as she rests with the party, gently caressing Denalthir's hair and patting soothingly.
- [9:25 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah John, I just can't stop thinking about that undead..." - She said - "Why did he activate the thing? Doesn't make sense..."
- [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I don't know much about stuff like that..." Arisa says, "I heard something about it, but I don't recall the details... Sorry."
- [9:25 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe I'm just thinking too much"
- [9:26 PM] Bot Fodder: (Why Denalthir :T)
- [9:26 PM] Faerie: (Thank god the shard's not really active right now)
- [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's outside of her expertise, it seems, even though Arisa has heard of it in passing.
- [9:26 PM] Nanomachiner: She can't even so much as make a face as she's patted gently into submission...
- [9:26 PM] Bot Fodder: "Come to think of it... Shouldn't we ask our 'passenger' a few things?"
- [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, you have a point, Alicia..." Recelle groans, stirring awake.
- [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Passenger?
- [9:27 PM] Faerie: ''The minotaur? To me it seemed to be working his axe. Could the ritual have been a by-product of that? What do you think?'' Razmik closes his eyes, losing himself a bit in the comfort and relative warmth the temple offered.
- [9:27 PM] Bot Fodder: The shard, of course. Does it know what the cleric wanted with it?
- [9:28 PM] Mizuki: (arcane recovery for a level 2 spell slot)
- [9:28 PM] Mizuki: (I can do that right?)
- [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sensible, John.
- [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, Alicia.
- [9:28 PM] Halnas: (tfw down to peasant lv1 slots)
- [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Noticing your questioning gaze, Shadow digs out the shard.
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Shade of the Wand of Orcus radiates a vibe. A literal vibration, that is, upon "seeing" Arisa and Denalthir together.
- [9:29 PM] Faerie: ''You know, I was starting to wonder if something had happened to our hero-conqueror''
- [9:30 PM] Mizuki: (:troubledkoga:)
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey there girls." The shard virrrrms.
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow considers for a moment.
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Before opening Tot's mouth and sticks his father inside.
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot whimpers in protest as the shard thrashes around without any visible effect.
- [9:30 PM] Faerie: ''Can't hear you. Don't waste your breath.'', Razmik chides to the dirty old (in spirit!) man.
- [9:31 PM] Bot Fodder: "Um. You probably shouldn't swallow that," John advises.
- [9:31 PM] Faerie: Poor Tot...
- [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ok." The shade reduces the vibration and tries to get less demoncat slobber over itself.
- [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm, SHARD. Not shade.
- [9:32 PM] Faerie: Razmik warns Tot: ''Don't eat garbage like that, you'll get Filth Fever. That stuff'll kill you.''
- [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot spits the shard out unceremonously.
- [9:32 PM] Faerie: (That, or it'll turn into a pervert)
- [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow picks his father back up. "So, yeah. Ask away." The shard says, still wet from catslobber.
- [9:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (You can't turn a devil into a pervert. It'd be like turning a runner into an athlete.)(edited)
- [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa peeks at the cat curiously, but remains quiet, nursing Denalthir.
- [9:35 PM] Faerie: ''You know that cleric? It was him who came up came up with the idea of taking you down a few pegs, in the first place.'' He seemed to know exactly what the ''Axiomatic Shard'' they were about to deal with was back then, if anything.
- [9:35 PM] Faerie: ''He was after you, that much was clear. Who is he?''
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh."
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shade hums for a bit.
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I don't... Remember." :sadpopo:
- [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I remember that I forgot something very important about that dude, but no; I don't remember."
- [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I swear I've seen his face before, though...."
- [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard pauses. "I have an urge to stab his face with a dull cat for some reason."
- [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey!" Tot protests.
- [9:37 PM] Mizuki: "Did you have any close friends and siblings back when you were still alive?" - Asked Alicia
- [9:37 PM] Bot Fodder: "Somehow... I think he's being honest," John observes. This seems to make him even more uncomfortable than when the shard was lying.
- [9:37 PM] Faerie: ''Would you believe me if I said I believe I am not inclined to believe you? But yes, he's got that air about him,'' Razmik brings his hand to his mouth. ''Not the sort of folk you can easily pin down.''
- [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No siblings, no." The shard whistles.
- [9:38 PM] Bot Fodder: "So, friends, then?"
- [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Close friends... The dwarf you lots know?" The shard whirrms. "And like, my adventuring parties. I guess I wouldn't call THOSE friends, you know - some are. I mean, I married my wife and all but there are..."
- [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uhehefuufhahaahhaha."
- [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow considers momentarily of something.
- [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But I don't recall him.... A priest...?"
- [9:40 PM] Bot Fodder: John shrugs. "He called himself a Chosen or something. Just another derranged street-corner savior, if you ask me."(edited)
- [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle pauses. "Chosen of Mask, to be more specific. You know any Mask clergy from back in your days, Mr. Alex?"
- [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Don't call me Mr. Alex, and I don't-.... ... ..."
- [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
- [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh."
- [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard glows green, slowly. "Wait, wait, wait, wait. That fucker. That fucker.... That fucker."
- [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That fucker was the THIEF I ASKED TO COME WITH ME. To my - the wand-'s lair."
- [9:42 PM] Halnas: "A priest of thievery," Helios says, appalled.
- [9:42 PM] Bot Fodder: John visibly shares the sentiment.
- [9:43 PM] Mizuki: "Story time, Alexander" - Said Alicia curious
- [9:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "If that's the case, he's true to form. He said we were supposed to bring you to him, originally. Must've wanted to finish the job."
- [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That asshole! I was like 'Let's blow it up' and he was all like 'no but wait I have an idea'." The shard angrily hisses. "He was all about how he can get through dimensional cracks and slips through the ethereal, but then was all like just want a share of the loot, so I took him with me along with the others."
- [9:44 PM] Faerie: Razmik scracthes the back of his head. Yeah, he was a pain to deal with, alright. Didn't the shard see all that magical bullshit it had pulled off before?
- [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And then I got the wand and the wand... The wand..." The shard makes a weird clank.
- [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Dammit all, the fucker... The fucker tried to steal the wand, during the ritual when I was breaking it."
- [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I missed the onyx, and..."
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "WHAT COLOR IS HIS BLOOD, I WANT TO FIND OUT." The shard of the Wand of Orcus seems upset, glowing green and floating inches above Shadow's palm.
- NEW MESSAGES
- [9:46 PM] Bot Fodder: "The onyx?"
- [9:46 PM] Halnas: (guys I'm gonna go retire early :sadpopo: monday tomorrow)
- [9:46 PM] Halnas: (keep going without me)
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That's alright. Thanks for coming, though!)
- [9:46 PM] Bot Fodder: (Aw, ok.)
- [9:46 PM] Mizuki: "Damn, so that guy is the one that caused all this." - Said Alicia surprised
- [9:46 PM] Mizuki: (alright :sadpopo:)
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The onyx, the weak point in the wand." The shard says.
- [9:46 PM] Mizuki: (good night!)
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Yes, it's all his fault." The shard paused for a moment, before shifting the blame entirely.
- [9:47 PM] Halnas: Helios vanishes as quickly as he appeared
- [9:47 PM] Halnas: (kek)
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I have a feeling that something might've gone wrong regardless..." Recelle coments, but shrugs.
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... But so long story short, you hired a thief to go with you to Orcus's lair, without doing background checks, then afterward he tried to backstab you, causing the world to explode?"
- [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And it's all his fault." The shard confirmed.
- [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Motion to toss my dad into a pool of magma?" Shadow suggests.
- [9:49 PM] Bot Fodder: "Hm. I heard that was the only way to get rid of evil artifacts, once," John recollects.
- [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Think again, kid, I'm indestructable for the most parts!" The shard humms.
- [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, no, you got to destroy the onyx, where the Wand of Orcus holds all the souls that it has collected in the millenia with its power."
- [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You have to do that in the temple of a Forge God, like Moradin, you foo!"
- [9:51 PM] Faerie: "A ritual? So you actually had some sort of plan? And here we were sold the story of your own incompetence bringing about the end", Razmik laughs
- [9:51 PM] Bot Fodder: John's interest piques. "So, is it too late to find and destroy this onyx? I guess it might not fix everything, but..."
- [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I borrowed like, the major temple in the dwarf land up north from Moradin for the deed. Were it not for the guy trying to take the wand at the last moment..."
- [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Of course I had a plan! It was foolproof! Except for the fool!"
- [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
- [9:52 PM] Faerie: "Who's the fool, now?"
- [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I, it probably isn't too late, but if you destroy the wand, erm,"
- [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo:
- [9:52 PM] Mizuki: "Wait a fucking second" - Said Alicia - "Its a complete change of subjects, but I think I figured out why that minotaur was activating the thing"
- [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I probably'll get blown up as well, so, h-hey."
- [9:53 PM] Faerie: Hiring complete strangers for something lile that doesn't even sound like something a wizard would do.
- [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A wizard wouldn't hire a complete stranger, they would conjure one up.
- [9:54 PM] Bot Fodder: "Don't worry. We're going to bring the city's defenses back first, so you'll end up going to one of the good places!" John gives him a thumbs-up.
- [9:54 PM] Mizuki: "The abjuration spell doesn't protect the city only against undead. You can add exceptions to it, and only banish the stuff you want."
- [9:55 PM] Mizuki: "That means, if an undead smart enough manages to turn the defense mechanism on, it can "protect" the city against whatever it wants, including us!"(edited)
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." The shard pauses for a moment. "Now that I think about it, that might be legit enough, if I get to go somewhere that's not eternally on fire after I pass on, yeah."
- [9:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik points to the shard. "Blowing up? I'm sure that doesn't bother you. You understand the importance of owing up to one's deeds, no?", he tests the waters for its reaction.
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, seems legit, I can use some good boy points in the eyes of the gods right now if you know what I mean, fam?" The shard suggests.
- [9:55 PM] Faerie: Is that not what a hero of his caliber would do, after all?!
- [9:56 PM] Mizuki: "It's a race, whoever manages to turn on the defenses first, wins the war."(edited)
- [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait." Recelle says. "But the whole mechanism's centered in the keep, no?"
- [9:56 PM] Faerie: "But who, Alicia? The Lich? It just seemed grumpy..."
- [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Don't we have to go there and turn it on?"
- [9:56 PM] Bot Fodder: "...What, seriously? I was kidding. Ahaha..." John rubs the back of his neck apologetically. "Though, if you don't have a body any more, uh... maybe?"(edited)
- [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Look, you might not know this, but I've been to Arcadia and stuff, fam." The shard says matter-of-factly.
- [9:57 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah, we do." - Said Alicia - "Some undead may be turning on the last tower right now and heading to the central keep to banish us all from the city."
- [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There are some places in afterlife that you aren't allowed to for a reason: It'll make you wanna get there a bit too fast."
- [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Or even better, they are already there." Recelle says, frowning, trying to stand using her rifle.
- [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Like, if they occupied the keep... And is sending people around to turn the towers on."
- [9:58 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe we should head to the keep first..." - She suggested
- [10:00 PM] Faerie: "How would we even know where this theoretical entity is, though? Good guesswork is fine, and all, but it's still guesswork"
- [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa holds up a hand, while the other pets Denalthir who should've been conscious by now, but Arisa didn't really notice. "Uh... You are all talking about some really complex things... M, maybe you can ask Mielikki and... You know. I can hold a divine augury if you have any specific questions..."
- [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>tfw Helios can do that as well)
- [10:01 PM] Faerie: "...don't Wizards usually, uh, meddle in divination?"
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa will offer her service, should it be needed,
- [10:03 PM] Faerie: "An Augury... would be rather useful." Razmik points out how according to Alicia, there's two places of interest they should keep track of: The third tower, by the forest, and the keep.
- [10:03 PM] Bot Fodder: "If we turn the last tower on while someone else is at the controls, it could be a huge problem." John rubs his chin. "I don't know much about gods or anything, but an augury sounds like a good idea."
- [10:03 PM] Mizuki: Alicia ignores Raz, who cares about divination anyways. - "What if we head to the keep and..." - She stares at Tot - "Send a... scout to take a look at the last tower for us?"
- [10:03 PM] Faerie: (And I thought ot was the first level Augury spell, geez)
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That only tells you of things in the next 30 minutes. :sadpopo: )
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot stares at Alicia.
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... and raises a paw at Azura. "Don't you think she's, like, smarter and stealthier than me?"
- [10:04 PM] Faerie: "I don't think familiars work that w-"
- [10:04 PM] Faerie: Whatever. He wasn't the wizard.
- [10:04 PM] Nanomachiner: "Zzz"
- Denalthir fell into a pseudo sleep at some point...Sensory deprivation doesn't leave much to do, even in this plane.
- [10:04 PM] Nanomachiner: (I should sleep, I have work :sadpopo:)
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ah, alright.)
- [10:05 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah, we should be wrapping up soon-ish anyway. Wanna have the augury and call it a night?)
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Check back later for the XP for the session, which I'll @ you lots, ok?)
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But yes, go rest!)
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Thanks for dropping by once again :happypopo: )
- NEW MESSAGES
- [10:05 PM] Nanomachiner: (Okay, goodnight! Thanks for session)
- [10:05 PM] Runic: (Night)
- [10:05 PM] Mizuki: "Cats can't fly, silly, you're way better for the job!" - Replied Alicia
- [10:05 PM] Mizuki: (night!)
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am a cat as well!" Tot quickly protests.
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura yawns lazily.
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow ponders. "Say, if you die, I can resummon you..."
- [10:06 PM] Mizuki: "But you're an exception, you can fly!"
- [10:06 PM] Faerie: "Look, I don't think we are sending any weaponized cats to the grave today", Razmik cuts in
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Don't you dare, mister." Tot warns.
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... if I just keep sending you...."
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... maybe strapping some explosives or alchemical weapons on you..."
- [10:07 PM] Faerie: There's only so much abuse you can put on someone before it stops being slapstick!
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow considers.
- [10:07 PM] Mizuki: "I'll get you a ball of yarn later, Tot" - Said Alicia
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Doomwind." Shadow corrects Alicia.
- [10:07 PM] Faerie: "E-explosives?"
- [10:07 PM] Bot Fodder: John listens quietly. This... seems kind of like slavery, huh.
- [10:07 PM] Faerie: Did Shadow take the 'weaponized' bit literally?
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes.
- [10:08 PM] Faerie: "Wouldn't he need to make it back to us to rely any information?"
- [10:08 PM] Faerie: (Man, I should have prepared Find Steed)
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, if Doomwind meets its doom, and I resummon him..."
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Don't you dare, Mister." Tot threatens.
- [10:08 PM] Faerie: Razmik... didn't think it'd live through.
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you use me that way I am going to claw your /everything/ up when you sleep."
- [10:09 PM] Faerie: "Come to think of it, do familiars feel pain?"(edited)
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Doomwind." Shadow picks up Tot and stares at it in the eyes. "It's an emergency, and you need to become the hero that this world deserves, unlike my father."
- [10:09 PM] Faerie: Razmik ask Tot, being an imp beforehand.
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You need to become the Dark Hero, Doomwind."
- [10:10 PM] Bot Fodder: "But... isn't that normally the hero's son?" John points out.
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "How about I slap your shit and run away if you send me out to certain doom? AND YES, WE FEEL PAIN, FUCK YOUR SHIT."
- [10:10 PM] Faerie: (I really don't want to allahu akbar the cat, hilarious as that may be :sadpopo:)
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow considers for a moment.
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I don't mind going solo, y'know - I am a thi-"
- [10:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (>Implying no devil has ever employed this tactic with imps.)
- [10:11 PM] Faerie: "Guess that's out of the question... SHADOW, NO"
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... respectable citizen."
- [10:11 PM] Faerie: "You're not blowing yourself up for your dad's mess. Alright?"
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle slaps her forehead.
- [10:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (>Or regular cats.)
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (All things considered, Tot probably had previous experience of being used as a distraction or a bait.)
- [10:11 PM] Mizuki: While everyone is discussing Tot's murder, Alicia decides to check on the wyvern eggs. Any apparent changes?
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4
- [10:12 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 4, Result: 4
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You know, now that you mention it, you think the wyvern eggs just twitched.
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But that might've been your imagination.
- [10:12 PM] Mizuki: (HYPE)
- [10:14 PM] Mizuki: Alicia lets out a smile, she seems really happy all of sudden - "You know... Maybe this is the time to call the paladins from the temple district"
- [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow merely shrugs. "I mean, I can stalk and hide and stuffs real good. Not as good as that priest we met, but still, I am an expert."
- [10:14 PM] Bot Fodder: John notices Alicia checking the eggs, and pounds a fist into one hand in epiphany. He looks over to Arisa. "Oh, that's right! If you're a cleric of a nature deity, would you happen to know anything about raising wyverns?"
- [10:15 PM] Mizuki: "We made some friends there, they can help activate the last tower while we secure the keep. We need to hurry though."
- [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wyverns? Oh..." Arisa nods. "I used to... know a person... We shared a few notes, before she had to run away from persecutions..."
- [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow nods. "You know, I can help too. If we need to split up, me and Recelle are probably your best bet at it."
- [10:15 PM] Faerie: Wyverns now... how could that be important now?
- [10:16 PM] Faerie: Razmik considers applying for psychological councel back at home.
- [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa will take a look at the wyvern eggs, with your consent.
- [10:17 PM] Mizuki: Alicia hands the wyvern eggs to the priestess
- [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d20
- [10:17 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20]: 8,11, Result: 19
- [10:18 PM] Mizuki: "So, what will it be? Should we call the paladins?" - She asked - "Sending just Recelle and Shadow doesn't seem like a good idea to me."
- [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She considers for a moment. "They are near the final stage. You've done a good job keeping them warm, though they are a bit weak in energy. The chances aren't good, but they'll hatch within a night or two if they manage to make it. One of them is a bit strange, though... It seems to be using a bit of energy within itself against something. If that kid made it, it would be a runt anyhow, but... A wyvern's a wyvern."
- [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean, don't just send me to the tower." Shadow adds. "I'll call the people back in the Complex for you, and Recelle can come to make sure of things if needed. It's your call, though."
- [10:20 PM] Faerie: "Would they take our- er, your word for it, though?"
- [10:20 PM] Bot Fodder: John thinks for a moment. "The defense controls... where were they, again? In the middle of the city?"
- [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "On the other hand... You can also get me back to my uncle." Shadow nods. "And I'll ask my uncle for help."
- [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In the keep, last you heard from the Dwarf.
- [10:20 PM] Mizuki: "Oh, that's better!" - Said Alicia - "And Arisa, what can I do to make up for that low energy? Anything at all?"
- [10:21 PM] Faerie: Granted, it wasn't a bad idea, but over there at the District it'd be hard to garner support without a lot of explaining to do.(edited)
- [10:22 PM] Bot Fodder: "Then, I think we should take the keep first. The towers will be pointless otherwise."
- [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "A sincere prayer for the child's wellbeing." She blinks. "And well.... I can annoint them with holy water. Silly as it may sound. The chalice that I have, the grail... The water should restore vigor and cure any ailment."
- [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow ponders.
- [10:22 PM] Mizuki: "Even that one that looks a bit strange?" - She asked
- [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Just need your word, fam." Shadow shrugs. "I think everyone's willing to help, if you mention something about getting rid of the undead in the city."
- [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If not, I can probably get them to help, you know what I am saying?" Shadow grins, mischieviously.
- [10:23 PM] Faerie: "John's right - if whoever wants the third towe up and running is serious about it, they'd send the brunt of their forces to the tower."
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa seems more interested in the wyvern than something to do with those towers and mages. "Yes, though there might be unknown effects... Regardless, it's going to grow up to be a strang child."
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: That'd explain why they met a fucking undead minotaur at the arena, for instance...
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, last you checked, they sent a single minotaur.
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a very good minotaur, but it's only a single minotaur.
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a bit skeletal for the "brunt" for their force.
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you know what I mean? :smugpopo:
- [10:25 PM] Mizuki: "I see..." - Said Alicia - "Guess that's the best thing we can do, I'm counting on you Arisa!"
- [10:25 PM] Faerie: Gee, if only they had the means to know how this unseen enemy was distributing its resources... if only...
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa nods. "If you are alright with it... Leave the eggs here, and I'll take care of them while you go out there and save everyone?"
- [10:25 PM] Bot Fodder: "Well, we'd need to hold the keep long enough to activate the last tower," John theorizes, easily adopting a military mindset. "And if someone's there already, we'd be attacking a foritified position. Either way, it'd be better if we don't do this on our own. This is more like a job for an army."
- [10:26 PM] Bot Fodder: "I think we should ask the Knights to help!"
- [10:26 PM] Mizuki: Alicia ponders for a moment
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, they want to activate the thing as well." Shadow adds. "Why don't we let them activate the tower, and disrupt the ritual at the last moment to do it ourselves in the keep?"(edited)
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard, seemingly triggered by past trauma, vibrates loudly.
- [10:27 PM] Faerie: That sounded... hard to time correctly!
- [10:27 PM] Bot Fodder: "How long would the ritual take?" John asks, tilting his head. He figured you'd just flip a switch or something.
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow shrugs helplessly. He ain't a genius.
- [10:27 PM] Faerie: "Taking the third towet out of the picture then storming the keep, huh?
- [10:27 PM] Mizuki: "Sounds good, and... This might sound crazy, but what if we call that lich as well?" - She suggested - "He is bored, I bet he's more than willing to blow some stuff up"
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I volunteer you to talk with the lich." Tot says, sacarstically.
- [10:28 PM] Faerie: "Go away, mage", Razmik only half-jokes.
- [10:28 PM] Mizuki: "We can make an exception for him and his gladiators on the spell, he would be a major ally on this fight"
- [10:28 PM] Bot Fodder: "Ahaha... he probably just wants to be left alone, honestly."
- [10:28 PM] Mizuki: (please guys say yes :sadpopo:)
- [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ("I'LL HELP IF YOU CAN SURVIVE THIS GAUNTLET! ENTERTAIN ME!")
- [10:28 PM] Mizuki: (imagine how fun it would be)
- [10:28 PM] Faerie: Sieges are very loud, it wouldn't appreciate the occasion anyway
- [10:29 PM] Mizuki: (a lich blowing everything up while helping us)
- [10:29 PM] Bot Fodder: "W-well, I guess it's something to consider?"
- [10:29 PM] Faerie: (Right. He'd start by blowing you up, I reckon)
- [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There's no harm in talking with a powerful force that can play cards on the table, but that's if we can talk with him. It." Recelle adds.
- [10:30 PM] Bot Fodder: (Well, think about it. What if we told him that the arena could go back to having real fights again?)
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you have some way to pique its interest without it being angry?"
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle. "Assuming it's not so insane, it's unable to listen."
- [10:30 PM] Mizuki: "Also, reminder that while we attack the keep, there will be a lot of noise" - She added - "He sure will show up eventually, and end up blowing us up if we don't explain beforehand."
- [10:30 PM] Bot Fodder: (Even a Lich might realize that mindless undead banging weapons together isn't quite the same.)
- [10:31 PM] Faerie: "I must oppose." Razmil tries talking sense, "the only reason it stepped into our fight was all the noise we were making. What part of that spells 'friendly' to you? Besides, as a wizard in undeath..."
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Maybe it enjoys mindless undeads banging weapons at each other instead? I don't know :rainbowpopo: )(edited)
- [10:31 PM] Faerie: Razmik prattles on about the very bad things that happen when one becomes undead.
- [10:32 PM] Mizuki: (LETS DO IT GUYS)
- [10:32 PM] Bot Fodder: "Well, he did seem pretty into arena fights... what if we told him the arena could start having real battles again?" John suggests. "If the city starts going back to normal, it could happen sooner or later."
- [10:32 PM] Mizuki: "Sounds good!" - Answered Alicia happy
- [10:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah, it's a gamble, but more allied NPCs is always a good thing!)
- [10:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (alsothesidequestexperience)
- [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Here's a list of items." Recelle presents a note of your objectives: 1: Destroy the Wand of Orcus, save the world. 2: Start the city-wide defense in the keep. 3: Power the tower in the forest to enable the city-wide defense. 4: Talk with the lich, make sure he doesn’t interrupt with the above plans. 5: Keep an eye out for the Chosen of Mask.
- [10:33 PM] Mizuki: (also the F U N)
- [10:33 PM] Faerie: "This is terrible."
- [10:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (I vote for a pause, for now. Let's ask the other players when they're around?)
- [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Remember, you can always ask Arisa for a Divination or two, as well)
- [10:34 PM] Mizuki: (I'm okay with that)
- [10:34 PM] Mizuki: (lets stop for now)
- [10:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (Wao, almost forgot about that.)
- [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And you are able to converse, or plan, however you want.)
- [10:34 PM] Faerie: Circumstantial help was one thing, but Razmik cannot abide negotiating with a Lich. And much less using the promise of violence as leverage!
- [10:35 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ah, that's a fair, in-character point~)
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Keeping the lich out of the picture would be reasonable enough." Recelle suggests.
- [10:35 PM] Faerie: (I mean
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You really don't want... Whatever it was that it did to that Chosen."
- [10:35 PM] Bot Fodder: "No arguments here," John says. "I was just putting it out there..."
- [10:36 PM] Faerie: Don't get me wrong, using a Lich as a battering ram is screencap thread material, but yeah...)
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If only Illiad is here at times like this, huh?" Recelle shrugs.
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa looks at Recelle. "Illiad?"
- Recelle nods. "Yeah, a friend of ours, from a place far, far away..."
- [10:37 PM] Bot Fodder: John seems to brighten slightly at the mention. Or rather, at someone remembering.
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa smiles, and she listens to Recelle's otherworldly tales, even if she doesn't really understand it well.
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: [Illiad Kyrilight's legend spreads]
- [10:39 PM] Faerie: That was a pleasant change of topic! "Wonder how they're doing? You never got the opportunity to show us around the three either, Recelle."
- [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Players Today's session is 1000 XP for surviving a round of an impossible deal, 1500 XP for those at level 4 as a bonus.
- [10:40 PM] Mizuki: "Here's the plan I suggest" - Said Alicia - "Recelle and Shadow go to the complex and summon the paladins. They clear the tower and protect it from undead while we talk to the lich. After that, we go back to the tower and take the paladins with us to the keep, where we battle and turn on the defense mechanism for good. We also would need to leave a group of paladins on the tower so they can turn it on after we clear the keep. Tot can tell them when it's time."
- [10:40 PM] Faerie: (That fight was bullshit, yo)
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ah, the tree..." Recelle nods. "Maybe one day, when this is all over. Well, when this is all over, maybe... If we could...?"
- [10:40 PM] Runic: ( :satisfiedpopo: )
- [10:40 PM] Runic: ( :satisfiedpopo: )
- [10:40 PM] Runic: (Level up!)
- [10:40 PM] Mizuki: (and nice~)
- [10:41 PM] Mizuki: (Runic, do you want to negotiate with the lich so he can blow stuff up with us? :smugpopo:)
- [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You weren't meant to survive against the Chosen; the miss from the scorching ray was the reason why you lived.)
- [10:41 PM] Mizuki: (think of the FUN)
- [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The lich knew the fight but not the exact location until that ray pierced the night sky)
- [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And then he had enough of your BS.)
- [10:41 PM] Faerie: (Alright, turning off parentheses)
