  1. 02:07:39: <Rainglove> THE TOWN IS ACTUALLY NOT CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF PANIC FOR ONCE. Everything's fairly normal. People wandering about doing people things, you all sitting around doing... whatever you do. Not a whole lot, lately.
  2. 02:09:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti enjoys his not doing things.
  3. 02:09:20: <Benedict> 1d20+7 Nurel spends some time trying to build targets for himself so he can really test out this rifle that he hasn't had much use for in the POLITICAL FIELDS.
  4. 02:09:20: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel spends some time trying to build targets for himself so he can really test out this rifle that he hasn't had much use for in the POLITICAL FIELDS.: 16 [1d20=9]
  5. 02:09:29: <NachtRuine> Saavou is probably either arbitrating or reading, depending on the time of day.
  6. 02:09:42: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is praying in her room. What a bad habit.
  7. 02:09:49: <Rainglove> "praying"
  8. 02:09:57: <Benedict> "room"
  9. 02:10:03: <NachtRuine> "Aeria"
  10. 02:10:03: <Hippocratesi> "bad"
  11. 02:11:07: <Rainglove> Things've been very, very quiet lately, though some concerning rumors have reached you. You divine types have been getting faint whiffs of EEEEEVIL recently. Nothing as specific as a location or even people, but faint trails of it.
  12. 02:11:28: <Hippocratesi> EVIL?
  13. 02:11:44: <Rainglove> you've also heard that people's undead problems down south have been worsening, though you haven't been contacted by that Strix, so he presumably has a handle on things
  14. 02:11:55: <Rainglove> EVIL
  15. 02:12:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti is more concerned about the latter.
  16. 02:12:29: <Goatwright> UNRESTED UNDEAD. Heeby-jeebies.
  17. 02:13:43: <Benedict> Nurel thinks that evil is horrible, so he relaxes. By shooting targets.
  18. 02:13:53: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Let's shoot targets.
  19. 02:13:54: <Dados> Benedict, Let's shoot targets.: 26 [1d20=14]
  20. 02:15:06: <Rainglove> What you /do/ have is a recent report of some sort of necromantic hooblah happening in the town. Not the nice "normal" sort waakanti does, the rawr zambies kind. You also happen to have a general idea of where he is, somewhere in the residential district of the town.
  21. 02:17:11: <Rainglove> if you wanted to get this show on the road, that would be the place to go
  22. 02:17:18: <NachtRuine> Saav gon inquisit - I mean investigate that shit. Rawr zambies are against the law.
  23. 02:18:15: <Hippocratesi> Aeria finishes her CONVERSING and goes to find this necromancer. Justice must be dealt.
  24. 02:18:18: <Hippocratesi> Also smiting is fun.
  25. 02:18:55: <Benedict> Nurel can be found outside of the town hall shooting targets if anyone wants to drag him along.
  26. 02:19:00: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Bang.
  27. 02:19:00: <Dados> Benedict, Bang.: 13 [1d20=1]
  28. 02:19:29: <Rainglove> nurel and his goddamn misfires
  29. 02:19:42: <Rainglove> still working the bugs out of that new rifle
  30. 02:19:44: <Benedict> Only one time, thankfully it is an advanced firearm.
  31. 02:19:49: <Benedict> No explosions here.
  32. 02:19:58: <NachtRuine> Saav probly gonna drag Nurel into this. Just in case things go bad.
  33. 02:20:20: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads over there as well.
  34. 02:20:29: <Hippocratesi> She finds Nurel shootin' things. "Nurel, We're off to find this necromancer. It'd be best if you came as well."
  35. 02:20:48: <Goatwright> As head priest and bar-setting-necromantic-activity-er, this is all very important to him.
  36. 02:20:56: <Benedict> And Nurel is a Gunslinger. He quickly clears and fixes up his rifle at lightning speed, then silently joins the walking group once he's invited.
  37. 02:20:58: <Goatwright> It is actually in his job description to deal with this sorta shit.
  38. 02:21:19: <Rainglove> Saav the inquisivestigator, the town's a busy place. The streets aren't packed, but they're fairly busy with people wanderin' aboot doin' thangs. The stench of EVIL is sort of kind of there. Not amazingly strong, but there.
  39. 02:22:36: <NachtRuine> He follows this stench. It's probably a good lead to find this necromancer.
  40. 02:23:01: <Benedict> Nurel uses his DETECT EVIL to find his way through.
  41. 02:23:12: <Benedict> AKA sniff sniff and follow the evil that burns the nose.
  42. 02:23:31: <Hippocratesi> Aeria detects the evil as well. Where it be, GM?
  43. 02:26:16: <Rainglove> It's faint, but it's there. You eventually come to a house (who would have guessed), and you can practically feel the evil leaking out the door.
  44. 02:27:06: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the others. "Shall we be polite, or rude?"
  45. 02:27:13: <Goatwright> Suddenly Waakanti is with them.
  46. 02:27:38: <Goatwright> He does not look happy with this NECROMANCY on his watch, but he's learned some MANNERS since town life.
  47. 02:27:42: <Goatwright> So he knocks.
  48. 02:27:45: <Goatwright> But he knocks sternly.
  49. 02:27:52: <Hippocratesi> Aeria was gonna kick the door down but fine.
  50. 02:28:00: <Rainglove> don't nobody answer.
  51. 02:28:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks to her.
  52. 02:28:10: <Goatwright> YOU CAN KICK.
  53. 02:28:25: <Hippocratesi> "As if he'd answer." Aeria raises her foot and attempts to kick in the door.
  54. 02:28:30: <Rainglove> ssssstrength check
  55. 02:28:30: <Hippocratesi> Do I need to roll for that or
  56. 02:28:34: <Hippocratesi> oh lordy
  57. 02:28:48: <Benedict> Nurel makes a note to tell someone to replace the door.
  58. 02:28:55: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+3 this is not gonna work
  59. 02:28:55: <Dados> Hippocratesi, this is not gonna work: 14 [1d20=11]
  60. 02:29:15: <Rainglove> Aeria's foot goes through the door, and it mostly goes in half, though it doesn't explode.
  61. 02:29:21: <Rainglove> Also, rrrrreflex saves, from everyone.
  62. 02:29:27: <Rainglove> you dolts
  63. 02:29:39: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+4 RUH ROH
  64. 02:29:39: <Dados> Hippocratesi, RUH ROH: 23 [1d20=19]
  65. 02:29:45: <Goatwright> 1d20+3 rip
  66. 02:29:45: <Dados> Goatwright, rip: 13 [1d20=10]
  67. 02:29:59: <Benedict> 1d20+11 Protect me, Ulinazi.
  68. 02:29:59: <Dados> Benedict, Protect me, Ulinazi.: 13 [1d20=2]
  69. 02:30:04: <NachtRuine> I take Aeria's roll with my teamwork feat: Duck and Cover.
  70. 02:30:06: <Hippocratesi> AHAHA
  71. 02:30:06: <Benedict> Ulinazi, you are the worst god.
  72. 02:30:32: <Goatwright> He did nazi that coming.
  73. 02:30:43: <Rainglove> b&
  74. 02:30:48: <Rainglove> never GMing
  75. 02:30:51: <Goatwright> uli
  76. 02:30:56: <Goatwright> :^)))
  77. 02:31:13: <Rainglove> Everyone gets a faceful of fire. Saav and aeria take half this.
  78. 02:31:14: <Rainglove> 6d6
  79. 02:31:15: <Dados> Rainglove, 6d6: 22 [6d6=4,3,6,3,3,3]
  80. 02:31:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti dies.
  81. 02:31:22: <Hippocratesi> AH MUH FIRE
  82. 02:31:26: <Goatwright> (he doesn't really)
  83. 02:31:35: <Rainglove> The front of the building also partially dissolves.
  84. 02:31:39: <Rainglove> But the door is gone!
  85. 02:32:20: <Goatwright> After recovering from the pain, Waakanti quickly starts casting Create Water to douse any residual fire.
  86. 02:32:38: <Hippocratesi> "I...guess that was foolish of me."
  87. 02:32:41: <Benedict> Nurel gets a face full of fire and rolls around and wow, the BIG GUY (4you) and little guy (4you) get all the pain. Nurel then makes sure Waak is okay with a cast of Lay on Hands.
  88. 02:32:44: <Dados> Benedict, 2d6: 5 [2d6=1,4]
  89. 02:32:44: <Benedict> 2d6
  90. 02:32:50: <Benedict> Worst god.
  91. 02:33:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti returns the favor with a use of Fervor on Nurel.
  92. 02:33:11: <Dados> Goatwright, 2d6: 7 [2d6=2,5]
  93. 02:33:11: <Goatwright> 2d6
  94. 02:33:15: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 muh lay on honds
  95. 02:33:16: <Dados> Hippocratesi, muh lay on honds: 5 [2d6=2,3]
  96. 02:33:16: <Goatwright> Friendship heals.
  97. 02:33:18: <Dados> Hippocratesi, muh lay on honds: 7 [2d6=6,1]
  98. 02:33:19: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 muh lay on honds
  99. 02:33:22: <Hippocratesi> wonderful stuff
  100. 02:33:36: <Rainglove> Waakanti soaks some random civilians, most of whom were unharmed by the BANG. A couple seem a little dazed, but for the most part alright. The inside of the house seems unnaturally dark for the time of day it is.
  101. 02:33:54: <Benedict> "I wish I could do more, but Ulinazi is not very... responsive today."
  102. 02:34:12: <NachtRuine> Saav has the power of channeling positive energy thanks to Abadar. Who needs heals?
  103. 02:34:16: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Light on his hammer and holds it up like a torch, toward the unnatural darkness.
  104. 02:34:19: <Goatwright> GIMME MORE HEALS.
  105. 02:34:29: <Benedict> "Aeria, take front. I'll watch the rear."
  106. 02:34:39: <NachtRuine> 3d6 CHANNEL ENERGY FOR THE GIANT
  107. 02:34:39: <Dados> NachtRuine, CHANNEL ENERGY FOR THE GIANT: 14 [3d6=4,4,6]
  108. 02:34:43: <Hippocratesi> "Very well." Aeria TAKES FRONT!
  109. 02:34:43: <Benedict> Not your rear, though, Aeria. Sorry.
  110. 02:34:53: <Hippocratesi> :(
  111. 02:35:29: <Benedict> "Nikli, behind Aeria. Saav, behind Nikli."
  112. 02:35:33: <Benedict> INTO THE SPOOKY HOUSE.
  113. 02:36:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti will ponder Aeria's rear with confusion, though, don't worry.
  114. 02:36:30: <Goatwright> Also, he takes his place behind her.
  115. 02:36:40: <NachtRuine> "Of course." Saav casts Light upon a crossbow bolt of his and holds it up.
  116. 02:37:02: <Hippocratesi> I gots me own light, ehehehe.
  117. 02:37:03: <Rainglove> SPOOOOOOKY. Shit's dark. You can see about five feet on either side of you, but the inside of the house seems unnaturally large. Nothing makes itself immediately visible to you as you enter, but noises are audible in the distance.
  118. 02:37:43: <Benedict> Nurel has darkvision. Does he fair better?
  119. 02:37:46: <Hippocratesi> "What puzzles me is how he managed to do all this."
  120. 02:38:34: <Goatwright> "Perhaps he did not work alone."
  121. 02:39:04: <Hippocratesi> "That is a possibility."
  122. 02:39:06: <Rainglove> Nurel can see ten feet. Still nothing definite, but you get the occasional glimpse of things moving on the edges of your vision. Everyone else just sees dark.
  123. 02:39:19: <Hippocratesi> I got muh darkvision too
  124. 02:39:23: <Hippocratesi> :(
  125. 02:39:37: <NachtRuine> "Illusions may also be culprit, so keep your senses sharp."
  126. 02:39:44: <Benedict> "I'm seeing things. Moving things. I'm going to hope that we just need to condemn this house because of a rat infestation."
  127. 02:40:06: <Rainglove> well then aeria sees it too goddamn
  128. 02:40:11: <Hippocratesi> :)
  129. 02:40:23: <Goatwright> "[Who is here?]," Waakanti calls out in NECRIL.
  130. 02:40:33: <Benedict> What a disgusting language.
  131. 02:40:44: <Rainglove> it's pretty gross
  132. 02:40:51: <Goatwright> It's whispering
  133. 02:40:53: <Goatwright> and shit
  134. 02:45:53: <Rainglove> Nothing responds. It continues to be dark. You eventually wander into a wall, after walking for what feels like several minutes, which shouldn't be possible in a house this size.
  135. 02:46:12: <Benedict> This is a haunted house.
  136. 02:47:12: <NachtRuine> Saav casts Sift to figure out what the fuck.
  137. 02:47:16: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 percep
  138. 02:47:17: <Dados> NachtRuine, percep: 19 [1d20=11]
  139. 02:47:43: <Rainglove> anybody going to detect magic or spellcraft or something
  140. 02:48:04: <Rainglove> in this UNNATURALLY DARK HOUSE that is IMPOSSIBLY LARGE
  141. 02:48:04: <Goatwright> YesD
  142. 02:48:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti detects magic.
  143. 02:48:12: <Goatwright> HE ALWAYS DETECTS MAGIC.
  144. 02:48:21: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 (i guess ill also spellcraft while im at it)
  145. 02:48:21: <Rainglove> SHIT'S MAGIC. SPELLCRAFT PLEASE>
  146. 02:48:21: <Dados> NachtRuine, (i guess ill also spellcraft while im at it): 15 [1d20=7]
  147. 02:48:32: <Benedict> Nurel will DETECT EVIL.
  148. 02:48:39: <Dados> Goatwright, SPELLCRAFT: 14 [1d20=9]
  149. 02:48:39: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 SPELLDICK
  150. 02:48:39: <Dados> Hippocratesi, SPELLDICK: 16 [1d20=10]

  152. 02:48:42: <Goatwright> c'mon
  153. 02:48:47: <Goatwright> man
  154. 02:49:00: <Benedict> Rain, could I try to use my positive thinking?
  155. 02:49:10: <Goatwright> you can't even detect magic
  156. 02:49:12: <Rainglove> Aeria comes through for you! Deeper darkness, the spell. As for the interior of the house, no idea.
  157. 02:49:21: <Benedict> POSITIVE
  158. 02:49:22: <Benedict> THINKING
  159. 02:49:24: <Rainglove> NO
  160. 02:49:32: <Rainglove> Everything is evil nurel
  161. 02:49:43: <Benedict> Everything?
  162. 02:49:44: <Rainglove> there is a good amount of it in multiple directions
  163. 02:50:21: <Hippocratesi> "This darkness is a sort of spell. As for how this house has impossible dimensions, I don't know."
  164. 02:50:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti tries for a Dispel Magic!
  165. 02:51:24: <Rainglove> caster level check
  166. 02:51:32: <Goatwright> Before he does though he casts Fortune on himself because I know I'm going to BLOW THE FUCKING ROLL, AGAIN
  167. 02:51:43: <Goatwright> and by cast I mean, y'know, class ability and all
  168. 02:51:50: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 FUG
  169. 02:51:50: <Dados> Goatwright, FUG: 11 [1d20=6]
  170. 02:51:53: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 FUG x2
  171. 02:51:54: <Dados> Goatwright, FUG x2: 11 [1d20=6]
  172. 02:51:59: <Rainglove> pfffft
  173. 02:52:06: <Goatwright> I'm mad
  174. 02:52:21: <Rainglove> Waakanti's hands fart
  175. 02:52:22: <Rainglove> loudly
  176. 02:52:23: <Benedict> You should have tried positive thinking.
  177. 02:52:24: <Goatwright> this is bullshit I don't EVEN WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE
  178. 02:52:27: <Rainglove> also nothing else happens
  179. 02:52:43: <Benedict> "Wasn't me." Nurel shifts the blame to someone else immediately.
  180. 02:53:11: <NachtRuine> "This is indeed a predicament."
  181. 02:53:24: <Hippocratesi> "...Right, well." Aeria LOOKS ABOUT SOME MORE SHE HOPES SHE DOESN'T SMELL ANYTHING
  182. 02:54:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti also looks.
  183. 02:54:08: <Benedict> Aeria smells failure and Italian dishes from Waak.
  184. 02:54:12: <Goatwright> God this is dumb. :[
  185. 02:54:52: <NachtRuine> "Perhaps we should advance in the only direction we can. If this house is as impossible as we expect, I do not expect we will return where we came from, but rather somewhere else."
  186. 02:56:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria starts to walk along the walls, trying to feel for anything. Perhaps a DOOR or SOMETHING.
  187. 02:56:25: <Benedict> Nurel lowers his rifle and taps it along the floor like a blind man with a cane to help guide himself.
  188. 02:56:40: <Goatwright> Waakanti uses his hammer of LIGHT to guide his way.
  189. 02:56:48: <Goatwright> And he keeps calling out in Necril.
  190. 02:56:49: <NachtRuine> Saav gives a kick at the dead end before he follows the rest of the group, a sign of his dislike towards illusions.
  191. 02:56:53: <Rainglove> Aeria, reflex save
  192. 02:57:00: <NachtRuine> A light one. Just to send a message.
  193. 02:57:16: <Benedict> Calm down, nigga. Shit son. Relax.
  194. 02:57:28: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+4 OH GOD OH MAN
  195. 02:57:29: <Dados> Hippocratesi, OH GOD OH MAN: 16 [1d20=12]
  196. 02:57:38: <Goatwright> HE SAID RELAX NIGGA
  197. 02:57:48: <Hippocratesi> OH GOD OH JEEZ
  198. 02:57:50: <Hippocratesi> OH FUCK
  199. 02:58:08: <Rainglove> You feel your foot slip over a hole and you /almost/ fall in. Almost. But you don't.
  200. 02:58:18: <Rainglove> You can't see the bottom from where you are, but a ladder leads downwards.
  201. 02:58:49: <Hippocratesi> I wonder what would've happened if she fell. Oh well. "I've found something!"
  202. 02:59:22: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at this hole. "My suspicions are validated, it seems."
  203. 03:00:51: <NachtRuine> "Nowhere to go but down."
  204. 03:01:39: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose I'll go down first." Aeria starts down the fucking ladder since NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA SAY ANYTHING
  205. 03:01:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads over and, strapping his light source to his back, followers down after Aeria.
  206. 03:01:51: <Goatwright> -er
  207. 03:02:15: <NachtRuine> Once more than one person is on the ladder, Saav follows.
  208. 03:02:27: <Benedict> Nurel is the last to go down.
  209. 03:04:06: <Rainglove> Nothing eventful happens on the way down, but you feel the air cool. It's goddamn freezing down here. As you progress downward, the supernatural darkness lifts. You eventually hit the bottom in what seems to be a magically created cave, torches lining the path leading further into the cave.
  210. 03:05:23: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hops off the ladder and looks down this magical cave. "I think this is much worse than we thought."
  211. 03:05:32: <Benedict> "This isn't going to help our town any."
  212. 03:05:54: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. "I agree. This is a problem."
  213. 03:05:59: <Goatwright> "I am ashamed I let it happen."
  214. 03:07:01: <Benedict> "None of us knew about it, there is no need to shoulder the blame, Nikli."
  215. 03:07:05: <Hippocratesi> "/How/ did it happen?"
  216. 03:07:41: <Goatwright> "They likely hid the magic."
  217. 03:08:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads on down the cave cautiously, throwing up continuous casts of Detect Magic.
  218. 03:09:55: <Rainglove> You sense sporadic enchantments on the walls, though what exactly they are you have no idea. Protection from good seems to be thrown into the mix, though there seems to be some modified dimensional anchor as well as a few other things you just don't know.
  219. 03:11:05: <Rainglove> As you proceed further downward, the cave begins to widen until it's almost 30 feet across, though it's always about 10 feet high. You spot what appears to be a cavern in the distance, and you see movement.
  220. 03:12:07: <Hippocratesi> "This is far more than just the four of us can handle, I fear."
  221. 03:12:38: <Benedict> "You know I am not gifted with knowing magic. What is going on?"
  222. 03:13:33: <Goatwright> "They are binding outsiders, and intentionally attempting to keep good out."
  223. 03:13:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti spots the movement and calls out! "Who's there?"
  224. 03:14:22: <Benedict> "Binding outsiders. Like that cult we dealt with in the North? Think one of them survived and moved here?"
  225. 03:15:26: <Goatwright> "Perhaps. You know how things work out between us and evil outsiders."
  226. 03:15:49: <Benedict> "Evil tends to ruin my day."
  227. 03:15:55: <Rainglove> You catch what seem to be a pair of eyes turn towards you in the distance waakanti, but they fade away fairly quickly. Seems to be several somethings over there.
  228. 03:16:22: <Benedict> "I put five gold down on "that is not good"."
  229. 03:16:44: <Hippocratesi> "Nikli. Why did you do that?"
  230. 03:17:13: <NachtRuine> "No one's gonna bet against you on that one, Nurel." Saav takes out his crossbow juuust in case.
  231. 03:17:13: <Goatwright> "We don't have an element of surprise, anyway. I see no harm."
  232. 03:18:12: <Rainglove> are you still getting closer or
  233. 03:18:27: <Goatwright> Aeria should probably take the lead before we do.
  234. 03:19:04: <Hippocratesi> Aeria exhales and draws her sword. "Stay behind me." She goes forth.
  235. 03:19:06: <Hippocratesi> Time to die,
  236. 03:19:24: <Goatwright> Waakanti follows!
  237. 03:19:30: <Benedict> Nurel is watching that rear. Not your rear, Aeria.
  238. 03:19:55: <Goatwright> I'd watch your rear, Aerial.
  239. 03:20:50: <Rainglove> Aeria, that room ahead is fuggen /huge/. Seems to be a caver, several hundred feet across and a couple stories high. Stone catwalks crisscross the room. The eyes that you saw earlier belong to a small group of unintelligent undead, maybe 20 or so, walking past the doorway you've just come through. They ignore you.
  240. 03:21:45: <Goatwright> Does Waakanti know enough about muh necro to know that likely means their boss isn't currently aboot?
  241. 03:21:45: <Rainglove> The rest of the room /seems/ to be empty, though in a space that large it's hard to say whether there's nobody there or if you're just too far. There are spaces on the catwalks you can't see, and several smaller obstacles block your vision into even nearby corners.
  242. 03:21:57: <Rainglove> Roll K arcana
  243. 03:22:09: <Goatwright> 1d20+2 sigh
  244. 03:22:10: <Dados> Goatwright, sigh: 13 [1d20=11]
  245. 03:22:13: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 i am of the smart
  246. 03:22:13: <Dados> NachtRuine, i am of the smart: 18 [1d20=13]
  247. 03:22:45: <Hippocratesi> "There's undead here. Looks to be about 20 of them, though they don't seem to be alarmed by our presence."
  248. 03:23:13: <Hippocratesi> "And this cavern is far bigger than any I've ever seen."
  249. 03:23:17: <Rainglove> Saav comes through, having learned at least something about necromancy through cath'paaz. The undead ignoring you so thoroughly likely means that they're on their way somewhere, rather than just milling about aimlessly. They've probably got some objective.
  250. 03:23:48: <NachtRuine> "They do not amble. They work to some end. But what end?"
  251. 03:24:19: <Goatwright> "Perhaps we should follow them and find out."
  252. 03:24:39: <Rainglove> The undead don't seem to care either way what you do.
  253. 03:24:56: <Hippocratesi> "Maybe they'll lead us to the source of all this." G-Guess we're following undead.
  254. 03:25:01: <Benedict> "We should not be so obvious, though." Nurel decides that it is time to stealth.
  255. 03:25:08: <Benedict> 1d20+18 Watch me get a low roll.
  256. 03:25:08: <Dados> Benedict, Watch me get a low roll.: 22 [1d20=4]
  257. 03:25:31: <Hippocratesi> it was indeed low
  258. 03:25:43: <Goatwright> but not low enough to mattah, it seems
  259. 03:25:46: <Rainglove> nurel is decently hidden
  260. 03:26:12: <Goatwright> Since Waakanti is huge and cannot into stealth, he instead spends his time carefully investigating the room.
  261. 03:26:30: <Rainglove> so yer splitting up or
  262. 03:26:37: <Rainglove> just asking for clarification's sake
  263. 03:26:45: <Hippocratesi> i don't think Nurel going alone would be
  264. 03:26:46: <Hippocratesi> smart
  265. 03:26:50: <Benedict> Nurel is just keeping himself in the shadows just in case.
  266. 03:26:53: <Goatwright> I think Saav can stealth
  267. 03:26:54: <Hippocratesi> though no one else has much stealth
  268. 03:26:55: <Hippocratesi> oh
  269. 03:26:57: <Benedict> He is a Master of Shadows.
  270. 03:27:05: <Rainglove> fuck off styx
  271. 03:27:13: <NachtRuine> He indeed can, but you know what they say about splitting up, gang.
  272. 03:27:26: <Hippocratesi> i-i mean we might as well still follow them
  273. 03:27:42: <Goatwright> Then we still follow!
  274. 03:28:27: <Benedict> Styx wishes he could stealth like Nurel.
  275. 03:29:48: <Rainglove> Nurel remains semi-hidden. The group of undead journey deeper into the cavern, and as you proceed you see more undead coming from various other tunnels. The group slowly swells to the size of a few hundred, though they mostly seem to be ignoring you. You notice that most of them are carrying small magical artifacts, one or two per group.
  276. 03:31:10: <Goatwright> Can I try to identify the items?
  277. 03:31:16: <Rainglove> spellcraaaaaaft
  278. 03:31:27: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 oh boy more rolling
  279. 03:31:27: <Dados> Goatwright, oh boy more rolling: 16 [1d20=11]
  280. 03:31:32: <Hippocratesi> "Perhaps this has been going on since before you all came here?"
  281. 03:32:06: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 yay
  282. 03:32:06: <Dados> NachtRuine, yay: 20 [1d20=12]
  283. 03:32:09: <Benedict> "And we don't realize it for the six months we live here?" Nurel asks. From where? THE SHADOWS.
  284. 03:33:01: <Rainglove> Waakanti and saav, you can identify conjuration magic, though anything beyond that you don't know.
  285. 03:35:00: <Rainglove> Eventually, as you come over a rise in the cavern floor, a small sea of undead becomes visible, a black pillar rising from the middle. You see several larger figures among the undead, clearly not human. Some of them observe the pillar, while others seem to be directing construction. Still others are directing undead down tunnels away from the obelisk.
  286. 03:35:19: <Rainglove> You've probably come at least a couple miles by now, you're definitely beyond novit's walls.
  287. 03:35:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks to the K (Religion) pros. "Do you know what those creatures are?" He points at the large figures.
  288. 03:36:22: <Dados> Hippocratesi, well i dunno if religion'll do it but y'know i'll try: 17 [1d20=11]
  289. 03:36:22: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 well i dunno if religion'll do it but y'know i'll try
  290. 03:36:23: <Dados> NachtRuine, HRRRRM: 19 [1d20=11]
  291. 03:36:23: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 HRRRRM
  292. 03:37:29: <Rainglove> What exactly you can't place, but they seem very reminiscent of fiends. Devils of some kind.
  293. 03:38:06: <Benedict> Oh, wait, shit, religion time?
  294. 03:38:11: <Dados> Benedict, Time to roll low.: 23 [1d20=16]
  295. 03:38:11: <Benedict> 1d20+7 Time to roll low.
  296. 03:38:17: <Rainglove> the same
  297. 03:39:00: <Hippocratesi> "They're devils. Fiends. /Exactly/ what, I'm not certain."
  298. 03:39:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. How far does the mass go?
  299. 03:39:50: <NachtRuine> "There is no way we can deal with this crowd. Not with just us."
  300. 03:39:54: <Benedict> Nurel should have brought snacks.
  301. 03:40:02: <Benedict> Nurel just wanted to shoot his rifle at targets.
  302. 03:40:07: <Rainglove> you'd guess there's at least several hundred undead. Best estimate is just under a thousand.
  303. 03:40:19: <Benedict> We can take 'em.
  304. 03:40:29: <Hippocratesi> "Even with our soldiers, could we take these beasts? They outnumber us by the hundreds."
  305. 03:40:41: <Hippocratesi> "Novit is in grave danger."
  306. 03:40:48: <Goatwright> "Not just Novit."
  307. 03:41:02: <Hippocratesi> The WHOLE WORD.
  308. 03:41:11: <Hippocratesi> [terrifying music intensifies]
  309. 03:41:18: <NachtRuine> so basically novit
  310. 03:41:19: <Hippocratesi> WORLD
  311. 03:41:24: <Rainglove> basically
  312. 03:41:32: <Hippocratesi> yea, pretty much
  313. 03:42:21: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at the pillar. Can he perhaps surmise its purpose from here?
  314. 03:42:32: <Rainglove> Somewhere around the base of the pillar, lava bubbles up from the earth, drowning the undead in that area. One of the larger fiends spreads a pair of massive wings and flies over it, blasting out a channel around the obelisk, whatever it is.
  315. 03:42:44: <Benedict> Novit is the world. "How did something like this get by us..."
  316. 03:42:56: <Hippocratesi> "Right under our noses."
  317. 03:43:01: <Rainglove> Given the rocks you saw being brought in, and that the pillar seems to be built from those rocks, you'd guess it's something involving summoning.
  318. 03:43:16: <Rainglove> what, exactly, you don't really know. more fiends?
  319. 03:44:30: <NachtRuine> "They're summoning. We can't let them do this."
  320. 03:45:13: <Hippocratesi> "And how do you suppose we stop them?"
  321. 03:46:01: <NachtRuine> "I... I don't know. I need to know. We need to know."
  322. 03:47:15: <Hippocratesi> "There is nothing we can do here, this is far beyond stopping. We need to...we need to evacuate, get the citizens to safety- SOMETHING."
  323. 03:49:16: <NachtRuine> "There's no place that would take this many people, much less be able to support them."
  324. 03:49:43: <Goatsmith> "Or travel this far."
  325. 03:49:45: <Benedict> "How do we evacuate the town without causing a panic and without causing whatever spies they have in town from releasing their present early?" Nurel is not fit for this type of king shit.
  326. 03:50:10: <Hippocratesi> "I don't know...I don't know." Aeria puts a hand to her head.
  327. 03:50:57: <Goatsmith> Waakanti takes a deep breath.
  328. 03:51:08: <Benedict> "If we... got time, we could ask caravans coming in to take some people back to their town. We'll even pay them, but needs to be done at night, perhaps? I think my word is strong enough to get all the goblins out and back to that goblin village, but that is only one small group of people."
  329. 03:51:26: <Goatsmith> He then takes a few steps back, sits down, and looks at the heads on his hammer.
  330. 03:51:52: <NachtRuine> Saav shakes his head. "Sitting here despairing does no one any good. We will have to leave, if we cannot do anything." He looks over the scene one last time, for details that would help him be able to research what the fuck.
  331. 03:52:08: <Goatsmith> "Do any of you have magic available that boosts knowledge?"
  332. 03:52:52: <Rainglove> Saav, you do notice a lot of tunnels leading off the cavern. Some of them seem to be roughly the same size as the one you came in through.
  333. 03:53:29: <Rainglove> As for what devils like that would be doing here, well, the massive undead army gives you a pretty good idea of their plans. Specifics, not so much.
  334. 03:55:42: <NachtRuine> He looks to Waakanti. "I can give you my touch of law. I am uncertain how helpful that would be to you. It depends on your skill."
  335. 03:59:12: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods. "Anything that can help."
  336. 03:59:30: <NachtRuine> Saav obliges. Touch of Law!
  337. 04:00:29: <Goatsmith> Waakanti casts ancestral communion, and his eyes roll back into his head as he starts communing in necril and giantish to unseen figures.
  338. 04:01:09: <Rainglove> Nurel, you catch a glimpse of one of the fiends looking your way. They pretty clearly know you're there, and apparently now they know you know. Something starts picking uncomfortably at your mind.
  339. 04:01:22: <Goatsmith> And then I spend a hero point. 27 planes roll HNNNGH.
  340. 04:01:37: <Hippocratesi> A-All of our minds or?
  341. 04:01:41: <Rainglove> just nurel
  342. 04:03:03: <Rainglove> Waakanti, one of your ancestors knew a guy who had a cousin who went to the infernal plane once. There were these giant fuggen obsidian palaces there, all on fire and shit, pretty rad. That's where the pit fiends lived, the guys who command demonic armies when they move to establish footholds on new planes.
  343. 04:03:48: <Rainglove> They're also rather finicky fellows. Like to have everything looking absolutely perfect. If whatever structure that is doesn't meet up to exact specifications, odds are the guy it's for isn't going to want it.
  344. 04:03:54: <Benedict> Ah, shit. How did it spot me and my SHADOWS? Nurel scratches his head at the spot that feels like it's being picked at.
  345. 04:05:00: <Rainglove> Actually doing damage to whatever it is might prove difficult, as it's probably protected by magic and whatever those fiends down there are. But you don't need to do much damage for a more or less omnipotent being to notice it.
  346. 04:05:28: <Goatsmith> Waakanti thinks. Are they still working on it?
  347. 04:05:49: <Rainglove> It's the center of all the activity in the cavern
  348. 04:06:41: <Benedict> Ahh, that's what's bothering Nurel. That thing looking at him. "Bad news or terrible news first?"
  349. 04:07:35: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. Well, where Nurel's voice cometh from. "Either, just spit it out."
  350. 04:07:42: <Goatsmith> "Pit fiends. Demonic armies of plane invasion."
  351. 04:08:03: <Hippocratesi> "That's...not good at all."
  352. 04:08:05: <Benedict> "Something is picking at my mind. What's picking at my mind is looking directly at me. Hint: It's the demons we're looking at, and if they see me..."
  353. 04:08:26: <Goatsmith> "We need to ruin that obelisk."
  354. 04:08:41: <NachtRuine> "They know." Dread would be too light a word to describe Saav's tone.
  355. 04:09:27: <Benedict> "Why him? Why not the angel with the butt?" thinks Nurel. Yeah, try to answer that, you fucking demon.
  356. 04:09:58: <Hippocratesi> "We can't get /near/ it, Nikli. And it's only a matter of time before they find the rest of us spying on them."
  357. 04:10:23: <Rainglove> It's probably not actually in your head nurel. You know what that feels like. This seems like more of an attempt at intimidation.
  358. 04:10:26: <Goatsmith> "I have an idea."
  359. 04:10:48: <Goatsmith> "But I need to get out of sight."
  360. 04:11:11: <NachtRuine> "There's nothing we can do right now. We should head back, bang heads together."
  361. 04:11:59: <Hippocratesi> "Saav's right. We need to leave."
  362. 04:12:37: <Goatsmith> Waakanti shakes his head. "We can't let this happen. Leaving will only ensure it happens."
  363. 04:13:22: <Goatsmith> He moves far back enough into the cavern so that the devils can't see him. These undead ARE mindless, roight?
  364. 04:13:37: <Rainglove> yes, but the devils certainly aren't
  365. 04:14:04: <Goatsmith> Can he move far back enough to be out of sight of them?
  366. 04:14:21: <Rainglove> yes
  367. 04:14:43: <NachtRuine> "I do not mean permanently. Just long enough to know what in the gods' name we need to do."
  368. 04:15:11: <Goatsmith> Waakanti gives him a quieting glance, then gestures for them to come back out of sight as well.
  369. 04:16:04: <Benedict> "If Nikli wishes, I could try to help him blend in with the shadows." AKA an assist roll to give you a bonus.
  370. 04:16:49: <Hippocratesi> Aeria steps back to where Waakanti is. "What exactly is your plan?"
  371. 04:25:24: <Goatsmith> "We need a corpse."
  372. 04:25:58: <Goatsmith> "I'm going to plant a stone that will stop the summoning, and with any luck, be too difficult to detect."
  373. 04:28:46: <Goatsmith> HELP WAAKANTI FIND A CORPSE NIGGAS
  374. 04:28:47: <NachtRuine> "If it's too difficult to detect, how could it stop the summoning?"
  375. 04:29:09: <Goatsmith> "Because they will not notice, but what they're summoning will."
  376. 04:30:35: <NachtRuine> "I will trust your knowledge."
  377. 04:30:52: <NachtRuine> 1d20+13 where the fuck a corpse at
  378. 04:30:52: <Dados> NachtRuine, where the fuck a corpse at: 17 [1d20=4]
  379. 04:31:05: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Look for spare corpses.
  380. 04:31:05: <Dados> Benedict, Look for spare corpses.: 28 [1d20=20]
  381. 04:31:11: <Benedict> THINKING POSITIVE.
  382. 04:31:26: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 oh we're doing things now
  383. 04:31:26: <Dados> Hippocratesi, oh we're doing things now: 23 [1d20=16]
  384. 04:31:31: <Rainglove> An undead falls off a crossbeam above you and lands right at nurel's feet
  385. 04:31:34: <Rainglove> "thump
  386. 04:31:40: <Benedict> "Found a corpse."
  387. 04:31:42: <Rainglove> all unlife leaves it
  388. 04:32:16: <Goatsmith> Waakanti goes over to it and casts ANIMATE CORPSE.
  389. 04:32:39: <Rainglove> HRRRRRRK
  390. 04:32:41: <Rainglove> It stands up
  391. 04:33:28: <Benedict> "Well, that's the... easy part, right? Or the hard part?"
  392. 04:34:18: <Goatsmith> He then casts Stone Shape on the wall, creating a proper piece of stone for the obelisk, but makes sure a huuuge air bubble forms inside the brick.
  393. 04:34:44: <Rainglove> well, there it is
  394. 04:35:06: <Goatsmith> After removing it from the wall, Waakanti gives it to the undead and commands it to add it to the obelisk.
  395. 04:35:26: <Rainglove> Off it goes, and you quickly lose sight of it amid the massive crowd of other zombies
  396. 04:35:52: <Goatsmith> Waakanti looks to his friends, frowning. "Now we hope."
  397. 04:36:11: <Hippocratesi> "Hope is a dangerous thing."
  398. 04:36:17: <Benedict> Nurel tries to look for it with the scope of his rifle. Does Nurel need to use more positive thinking?
  399. 04:36:29: <Benedict> "You're a paladin, don't say that."
  400. 04:36:57: <Hippocratesi> "You're right...I'm sorry. I'm just not in the best of moods."
  401. 04:37:08: <NachtRuine> "Let us leave. We have done what we can." Saav is quiet on the hope/despair thing.
  402. 04:37:49: <Rainglove> Nurel you really cannot pick out your zombie in a crowd of identical zombies
  403. 04:38:08: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Please think positive.
  404. 04:38:08: <Dados> Benedict, Please think positive.: 24 [1d20=16]
  405. 04:38:23: <Hippocratesi> "We should at least wait and see if it works."
  406. 04:38:46: <Benedict> "Trying to look for our... friend. Lucky for us one fell right in front of me."
  407. 04:38:48: <Rainglove> it's a fuggen zombie picked out for the express purpose of blending in with other zombies
  408. 04:38:59: <Benedict> HE'S ALSO CARRYING A HUGE STONE.
  409. 04:39:04: <Rainglove> THEY ALL ARE
  410. 04:39:08: <Goatsmith> They all are.
  411. 04:39:14: <Benedict> OUR STONE IS BETTER.
  412. 04:39:19: <Benedict> It was made with love and friendship.
  413. 04:39:29: <NachtRuine> "How can we see if it works? They all look the same."
  414. 04:39:33: <Benedict> "And I'm realizing the fu... futality? Futility? Of this."
  415. 04:40:14: <NachtRuine> "If Waakanti did it right, our zombie is indistinguishable from the others. And so far, it seems so."
  416. 04:40:26: <Goatsmith> "The only way we will know is whether or not it is summoned, but for now, we can consider alternatives in the event it does not."
  417. 04:40:50: <Goatsmith> "Come, let us take our leave before they make us."
  418. 04:41:12: <Benedict> "I just wanted to make sure. For now, I'd like to go back to the surface and find whatever number of clerics, paladins, or other casters that can cast protection are in town, and simply tell them to stop casting protection from evil on the people. As many as they can."
  419. 04:41:30: <Benedict> And so Nurel takes the rear once more, ready to shoot any zombies coming for the group.
  420. 04:41:48: <Hippocratesi> Aeria takes the lead once more, headin' out.
  421. 04:41:51: <Goatsmith> Waakanti starts headin' up.
  422. 04:42:06: <Rainglove> You make your exit unimpeded.
  423. 04:42:20: <Benedict> MAN, FUCK THIS CAVERN. FUCK THIS HAUNTED HOUSE.
  424. 04:42:24: <Rainglove> The house is still dark when you get up, but you manage to find the doorway without a terrible amount of trouble.
  425. 04:43:06: <NachtRuine> "Shall I have the building cordoned off?"
  426. 04:43:36: <Hippocratesi> "We should allow no one inside it- or near it."
  427. 04:43:52: <Benedict> "Condemn it. Get our clergy to throw holy water on it. Get our builders to destroy it. Just get it out of our town."
  428. 04:44:38: <Hippocratesi> "Maybe we could find information on who's house it is, or rather was."
  429. 04:45:31: <NachtRuine> "I... Don't think that's an option. But I will condemn the building, and make sure a guardsman is always posted in front of it."
  430. 04:48:01: <NachtRuine> "Giant, I would recommend getting your clergy to do what they can to protect the town from evil."
  431. 04:50:06: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods, and he goes to talk to the CLERGY.
  432. 04:51:25: <Rainglove> Clergy be clergin'.
  433. 04:51:33: <Benedict> "I was rather hoping today would be relaxing."
  434. 04:52:17: <NachtRuine> "So long as the wicked do not relax, neither can we."
  435. 04:52:55: <Benedict> "Still can wish for an off day."
  436. 04:54:35: <Benedict> "I will be by my shooting gallery where you found me if I am needed." And so Nurel heads off to SHOOT SHIT because it's relaxing, nigga.

  446. 05:00:09: <NachtRuine> The inquisitor knows how to keep things secret.
  447. 05:00:47: <Hippocratesi> Will we tell everyone about the uh
  448. 05:00:49: <Hippocratesi> thing happening
  449. 05:01:04: <Benedict> Keep it a secret until it pops out of the ground like a birthday cake.
  450. 05:01:13: <Benedict> Then we can say "SURPRISE, WE MIGHT ALL DIE"
  451. 05:01:26: <Hippocratesi> I-I dunno man i-i think they should know
