- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everything is falling into places. The dragon threatening the monastery's slain, the hide made into armor, and the morale of the troops are raised despite the horrifying odd.
- [7:34 PM] Sawai: (I-I guess I can play too)
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The night in the monastery was comfortable.
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: For a nightmare, this isn't too bad.
- [7:34 PM] Mizuki: (keep feeding yaya with music, I wanna stay awake!)
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then, in the morning. Everything went wrong.
- [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It first started with a frantic scout fleeing back from the frontline near the orc's base of operation, one of the brave man that went with Lyria for a strike against the orcs.
- [7:35 PM] §upposition: (Hoo boy, playing from mobile)
- [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With her last breath, the scout whispers of the princess fallen due to the orc's traps, and is in unknown situation.
- [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nhari Bright immediately starts organizing a rescue party, and was in the process of asking you to join him when a part of the monastery was set on fire by orcs.
- [7:37 PM] Runic: (I'll do my best Mizuki!)
- [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that with the princess disabled, the orcs are starting to try to finish the job, and started employing fire spells and oil in their regular tactics.
- [7:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The initial fire are quickly put out, as the monastery is mostly stone, but the lingering smell of the burning oil seems to have a dampening effect on the soldier's spirits.
- [7:38 PM] Mizuki: (the princess clearly is the dreamer :smugpopo:)
- [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then the second, and the last scout returns, with the news of the princess's execution by the orc's hands.
- [7:39 PM] Mizuki: (oh)
- [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In a fit of fury, Bright organized for rest of the soldiers for a final assault against the orcs.
- [7:39 PM] §upposition: (Ohhhh)
- [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is one hell of a morning. What will you do, adventurers?
- [7:42 PM] Mizuki: Alicia didn't arrive in the monastery along with the rest of the adventurers. She was awake. In fact she had no idea what was going on.
- [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems a bit lonely, unable to find... Someone to pamper. But she's around and able to fill you in on what happened the last few moments, somehow not finding it strange that you don't seem to remember much of the last day's journey.
- [7:43 PM] Mizuki: "Well, we're not here to fight a war, but we don't have any idea of what we should do anyway. We should just follow the flow for now, I guess." - She looks around confused(edited)
- [7:43 PM] Sawai: (why isn' she pampering me? :cryingpopo: )
- [7:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... In short, we slain the dragon, and arrived, we talked a bit - oh, go get your blessing!" Recelle claims, before draggong Alicia to obtain the Blessing of the Wind, if she hasn't already.
- [7:44 PM] §upposition: Denalthir wakes groggily at the news, but really, isn't terribly surprised. She walks around slowly until she finds herself a bathroom to freshen up in. A rare luxury she intends to take full advantage of. She will be a while.
- [7:44 PM] Runic: "Should we really join this fight" Lexon asks to the group?
- [7:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh, you ARE here!)
- [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle, having found the princess, pampers and holds onto her a bit protectively, perhaps a bit affected by the recent news.
- [7:45 PM] §upposition: (Literally typing while having the store locked :sadpopo: )
- [7:46 PM] Kaperis: (The execution is done? Already happened?)
- [7:47 PM] Mizuki: "I don't think we have another choice Lexon" - Started Alicia still a bit dazed - " We don't even know what we should be looking for."
- [7:47 PM] Kaperis: (Or was it "errbody come watch us behead this chick at X tonight")
- [7:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The scout's report suggests so)
- [7:47 PM] Runic: "Hmmm, alright" Lexon responds boredly
- [7:47 PM] Sawai: Wakes up to being pampered by Recelle. Unsure as to why, but too distracted to wonder about it.
- [7:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Should the party have ability such as Speak with Dead or some way to conjure the soul of the departed back, they are able to garner more information from the dead scouts, for sure.)
- [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura pecks at her claws silently, seemingly unconcerned by the happenstances.
- [7:49 PM] Kaperis: (Or check whether the princess is really dead, for that matter.)
- [7:49 PM] Mizuki: (W-Well, I know I can't do that)
- [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Before you ask... Azura isn't sure that she can travel that far without being detected by orc sky patrols. Maybe if she's lucky...
- [7:50 PM] Kaperis: Alicia finds a lifelike wooden figurine of her familiar near her other possessions, by the way.
- [7:50 PM] Faerie: (SAD FUCKING POPO)
- [7:51 PM] Runic: (Just started Fae, don't worry)
- [7:51 PM] Faerie: (I'm really sorry, had to fucker around because my heater wasn't working, then my connection got kebab for a bit)
- [7:51 PM] Faerie: (Did I miss a lot? ;_;)
- [7:51 PM] §upposition: (Everyone died)
- [7:51 PM] §upposition: (That's all)
- [7:51 PM] Faerie: FUCK
- [7:52 PM] Mizuki: Alicia caresses Azura's head - "Wanna take a look around? Try to stay safe"
- [7:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Perhaps a bit of scouting would be nice." Azura nods. "What would you have me do, Master?"
- [7:52 PM] §upposition: (Oh and I'm showering...assuming the shower wasn't set on fire)
- [7:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't worry.)
- [7:53 PM] Mizuki: "Just the lands surrounding the monastery should be fine, so we can have a better look at the situation"
- [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura nods, and sets flight.
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Before Azura returns with the update on the surrounding orc's movements, and of anything perculiar... Is there anything you wish to do?
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [7:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 62, Result: 62
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
- [7:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 13, Result: 17
- [7:54 PM] Sawai: Starts wondering what's happened
- [7:55 PM] Mizuki: "Well, while Azura takes a look around, we should talk to this commander Nhari. Hopefully he has some kind of plan"
- [7:56 PM] Faerie: (Alrighty, gonna catch up. I am really sorry for the delay.)
- [7:56 PM] Mizuki: "He probably doesn't even know me though" - She whispers to Razmik and John - "Care to come with me, you two?"
- [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't worry.)
- [7:53 PM] Mizuki: "Just the lands surrounding the monastery should be fine, so we can have a better look at the situation"
- [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura nods, and sets flight.
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Before Azura returns with the update on the surrounding orc's movements, and of anything perculiar... Is there anything you wish to do?
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [7:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 62, Result: 62
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
- [7:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 13, Result: 17
- [7:54 PM] Sawai: Starts wondering what's happened
- [7:55 PM] Mizuki: "Well, while Azura takes a look around, we should talk to this commander Nhari. Hopefully he has some kind of plan"
- [7:56 PM] Faerie: (Alrighty, gonna catch up. I am really sorry for the delay.)
- [7:56 PM] Mizuki: "He probably doesn't even know me though" - She whispers to Razmik and John - "Care to come with me, you two?"
- [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't worry.)
- [7:58 PM] Kaperis: John is nowhere to be found... initially, anyway. "Hey, you guys! Aren't you going to rally with the commander?" He calls from across the room, apprently just passing by. There's a saw in his hands.
- [7:58 PM] Mizuki: "And whoa, this figurine is really well made! I wonder who placed it there" - She says smiling
- [7:59 PM] Mizuki: Alicia follows John to the commander
- [8:01 PM] §upposition: Denalthir walks out into the hallway wrapped in about 3 towels, smelling strongly of what seems to be every scent used by those in the castle
- [8:02 PM] Faerie: (Three)
- [8:02 PM] Sawai: (>about 3)
- [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nhari Bright is... A shadow of his former self. Seemingly drained of all emotion, his eyes are without light, and his face without any trace of the charming smile he carried last night.
- [8:03 PM] Faerie: (Seems we got rudely woken up?)
- [8:03 PM] Faerie: (Fuck, his waifu deded)
- [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you approach, he takes a look at you... But doesn't really see you.
- [8:03 PM] Mizuki: (not that bright heh)
- [8:03 PM] Faerie: ((DUDE))
- [8:03 PM] Kaperis: John totally understands. He's used to it!
- [8:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Looking beyond you, it almost seems like Nhari is staring at death itself, at the hand of the orcs.
- [8:04 PM] §upposition: She grabs some commoner clothes to replace her ragged clothing; surely the guards wouldn't mind, and looks to join the rest, finding them meeting with Nhari.
- [8:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... After a moment, he snapped back to reality. "... Yes?"
- [8:04 PM] §upposition: The common clothing hangs off her frame, looking much too billowy for something she could wear properly
- [8:05 PM] Faerie: Suddenly coming to his senses, a very groggy, seemingly half-asleep Razmik looks around trying to understand what happened.
- [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I am a tad busy. If there's nothing important to report, I am setting out with rest of the troops. You may accompany me if you wish."
- [8:05 PM] Faerie: ''Are we under attack? Don't these orcs know nighttime was made for sleep?''
- [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His tone is emotionless, at best.
- [8:05 PM] Mizuki: Alicia feels heavy for a moment. She knows what is like to lose companions, what is like to lose loved ones.
- [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We are not under attack. The orcs are." Nhari says, coldly, steeling himself.
- [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I am wiping them out, right this moment. Every single last one of them."
- [8:06 PM] Sawai: whispers to Recelle asking what's going on
- [8:07 PM] Faerie: ''Nhari? Are we setting off right now, then?'' Upon hearing the Commander's voice, Razmik inquires further, rubbing one of his eyes. ''I heard something about some fire somewhere, what happened?''
- [8:07 PM] Faerie: (Holy fuck, Nhari's mental right now)
- [8:07 PM] Mizuki: "Nhari... We don't know for sure what's happening there" - Alicia starts - "The reports may be wrong..."(edited)
- [8:07 PM] Kaperis: "Ahaha, that's a good way of thinking about it, sir!" John says mirthfully. After all, with the orcs getting bolder in their attacks by the day, the monastery needs to start pushing back.
- [8:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle whispers back to the princess, saying that it seems that their princess has fallen in combat, and the noble is going into a fit of rage about it.
- [8:08 PM] §upposition: Denalthir stands back and listens. She knows how this will end, and considers a feeble bit of resistance...
- [8:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nhari merely looks at the group emptily. "You are not officially soldiers of Falis, I have no actual way to command you into a fight to the death against the orcs. It's best if you leave Windsmere and never return."
- [8:09 PM] §upposition: "...Are you sure that this is a good plan? It would seem that a blind rush into a slaughter might lead to nothing more than all of your deaths. Reconsider."
- [8:10 PM] §upposition: Denalthir says this blankly, and without much emotion, but looks Nhari dead in the eyes.
- [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... If my life can be exchanged for the death of one orc..." Nhari grins, yet without a hint of emotion.
- [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Then I'll offer my soul itself; May Gruumsh be damned."
- [8:10 PM] Mizuki: (where's Illiad and Bucky?)
- [8:10 PM] Faerie: Leaving here? It may have been because he had just gotten up, but that was just silly. Tailing it right before the moment of truth didn't seem like a good idea to Razmik in the slightest. Leave where, anyway? They didn't even belong in this plane!
- [8:11 PM] §upposition: "I hope those words give you comfort. We'll do what we can."
- [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They are readying for war, being organized into one cohesive army for the final strike)
- [8:11 PM] Faerie: (SHIT, GOTTA PREPARE SPELLS)
- [8:11 PM] §upposition: Denalthir gives the slightest shrug of indifference. This is naught but the current of fate. She is speaking to nothing more than a dead man.
- [8:11 PM] Plasmagica: is this dnd music
- [8:12 PM] Mizuki: "The war isn't lost yet, Nhari Bright." - Said Alicia looking him in the eyes
- [8:12 PM] §upposition: (yes)
- [8:12 PM] Faerie: (Pfft, sounds like it)
- [8:12 PM] Kaperis: John's smile diminishes, but remains nonetheless as he stands at attention. "Well, if you don't mind me saying, sir... I've heard my share of rumors while on duty. It's usually not a good idea to take them too seriously, until you can confirm them with your own eyes."
- [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The monks are in collective mourning at the news, and some are preparing to enter battle as well, though more to defend the monastery than to take vengeance into their hands.
- [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, if Lyria still lives, I am sure a few hundred dead orcs will only do the world good." Nhari snaps at John.
- [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Azura flutters into the room silently, landing on Alicia's shoulder.
- [8:14 PM] Mizuki: Alicia wonders... Maybe transforming into the princess would increase the army's morale by a mile.
- [8:15 PM] Mizuki: Seems risky though
- [8:15 PM] Faerie: Razmik thinks to himself, before setting off ''Boy, I'm sure happy our feeling axe can't hear him right now''
- ''I need to get ready, but I'm sure you can fill me in on the details later'', he says as he storms off looking for the way into his room.
- [8:15 PM] Sawai: (no one would fall for Alicia impersonating a princess)
- [8:15 PM] Faerie: (That sounds yolo as fuck. Also, be right back)
- [8:15 PM] Sawai: ( :distinguished: )
- [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Y O L O)
- [8:16 PM] Mizuki: Alicia listens to Azura's report
- [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Now, if you will excuse me, I have orcs to slay." Nhari says, preparing to leave.
- [8:17 PM] Mizuki: "There 's something wrong out there, everyone. Everything is withering, and the orcs turned even more feral. It might be some kind of magical influence" - She explains
- [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The broken man's a shadow of his former self; gone is the noble that would ask to have you join him for a drink after the war.
- [8:18 PM] Mizuki: "It's like a blight, even boulders are turning to dust"
- [8:18 PM] Runic: Lexon agrees to share a drink
- [8:19 PM] Runic: For more than one reason of course
- [8:19 PM] Kaperis: John follows behind him quietly. He glances over his shoulder at Alicia. "... Uh, what will that do to us?"
- [8:20 PM] Mizuki: "I... Have no idea. But it might be really dangerous to go out there with an army in such a situation" - She answers
- [8:20 PM] §upposition: Denalthir follows behind John and Alicia quietly, resignedly
- [8:20 PM] Mizuki: "Even more than normally"
- [8:20 PM] Runic: Lexon takes note of this
- [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Even Recelle seems a bit demoralized.
- [8:20 PM] Runic: "Well Nharir, shall we go towards the messhall and share a drink? Anyone else wanna join?"
- [8:21 PM] Kaperis: John looks back at Nhari. "Sir, I don't have the right to stop you, but... will running into a death trap without even seeing combat really do anything?"
- [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Nhari doesn't really seem to register John having said anything.
- [8:23 PM] Sawai: Tried to cheer up Recelle. "I'm here, why would you care about some other, supposed princess?"
- [8:23 PM] Mizuki: "The ballefield is probably cursed, Nhari. You're simply sending your men to death without a plan." - She tries to get Nhari's attention
- [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright. Give me a persuation, both of you.
- [8:23 PM] Mizuki: (gib my sheet please)
- [8:24 PM] Faerie: (Back, people made me go pick up food)
- [8:24 PM] Sawai: (both of who?)
- [8:25 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+1
- [8:25 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 19, Result: 20
- [8:25 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d20-1
- [8:25 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 10, Result: 9
- [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Alicia and John)
- [8:25 PM] Runic: (Mizu and Kap)(edited)
- [8:25 PM] Mizuki: (tehehe)
- [8:25 PM] Faerie: (Very nice)
- [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You are right, but... I can't do nothing, nor allow them to get away with it." Nhari turns to Alicia, stopping for the moment.
- [8:26 PM] Mizuki: Alicia explains what Azura saw
- [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "All I want to do right now is to leap into combat. If ... I am to do this without those soldiers behind me, then I will. My life is just a small price, and I am sure I can cut down an orc or two before whatever it is claim me."
- [8:27 PM] Faerie: Meanwhile, Razmik, always on time starts donning his armor after going through the inchantations and prayers for the day, in his mind. It was always a hassle without a friendly pair of hands, but he hurriedly finishes and gets his bearings before running to the group.
- [8:27 PM] Mizuki: "We don't know anything about the curse out there. It may end up killing you before you even reach an orc" - Alicia answers
- [8:28 PM] §upposition: Denalthir steps forward. "Please, I know you are incredibly upset right now. But is it really worth the loss of your life? Have you nothing to live for? Anyone worth living for?"
- [8:28 PM] §upposition: "Go into this intelligently. I beg you."
- [8:28 PM] §upposition: Denalthir never begs
- [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Either we all get stuck in here, or someone go test it, right? I am good as anyone." Nhari seems to break for a moment, displaying a deep emotional wound. Denalthir's words seem to only have made it worse, spurring him forward silently again.
- [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that mentioning that "someone to live for" broke him a bit more than it should, once again.
- [8:30 PM] Kaperis: John thinks he did better than usual. Maybe he should tell a funny story? "Hmm... you know, there was this one time goblins caught one of Armsdale's messenger pigeons during a siege and decided -not- to eat it right away! When we received it, the message from high command said 'OPIN GATS' with the rest of the lines scratched out. I guess it goes to show you that even goblins know there's more than one way to break a siege, eh?"
- [8:30 PM] Mizuki: "No, you're the commander. Those men respect you, stay strong" - Alicia says
- [8:30 PM] §upposition: Denalthir looks at John
- [8:30 PM] §upposition: :sadpopo:
- [8:30 PM] Mizuki: "I say, lend us 10 good men and we will gather some information"
- [8:30 PM] Faerie: (JOHN PLS)
- [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me another Persuasion, Mizuki.
- [8:31 PM] Kaperis: John pauses for a long moment. He... might've forgot where he was going with that.
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll with advantage; he secretly wishes to believe you anyhow.
- [8:31 PM] Mizuki: Roll 2d20+1
- [8:31 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20+1]: 18,14, Result: 33
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 19.
- [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You have 2 hours." Nhari says. "Go pick a dozen men to go with you."
- [8:32 PM] Faerie: "I am ready", Razmik says after finding everyone while giving a quick greeting, hand raised for a moment. Trying to sound as professional as possible, still without a clue as to what was going up.
- [8:33 PM] Mizuki: "Very well, we won't disappoint you" - Said Alicia smiling
- [8:33 PM] §upposition: Denalthir whispers to Alicia and John: "Would you like to specifically request Bucky for this venture?"
- [8:33 PM] Faerie: "2 hours to what, Alicia?"
- [8:33 PM] Runic: Lexon looks around and at everyone worringly, "We're going now?"
- [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that this doesn't stop the army from mobilizing, but you are at least given some time to do whatever it is that you may be able to do.
- [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In addition to the dozen soldiers that you may be able to select, which may or may not include Illiad or Bucky at your discretion, two monks, bearing longsword and lightly armored, will also join you.
- [8:34 PM] Mizuki: "two hours to gather information outside" - She answers - "The battlefield is under some kind of magical influence for sure. Azura scouted the place"
- [8:35 PM] Faerie: "Right, and why are we in such a hurry to depart all of sudden? Something happen?"
- [8:35 PM] Kaperis: John salutes. "--Thanks," he whispers aside to Alicia.
- [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm, some scouts return with news that the princess died." She squeezes OUR princess a bit tighter, protectively. "Not this one. Lyria."
- [8:36 PM] Runic: Lexon having other plans, gives a weak nod with saddened expression "Alright let me take the time to get ready, I'll be back in a bit"
- [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do, Lexon?
- [8:36 PM] Runic: Lexon dispersses from the group in the hallway he was following and heads to the messhall
- [8:37 PM] Kaperis: (Drink everything he planned on drinking within 5 minutes, and then he'll be ready with no regrets.)
- [8:37 PM] Mizuki: Alicia looks at John smiling - "I'm willing to take Illiad, but Bucky is just a kid. Should we? The boy sure has some amazing potential"
- [8:38 PM] Faerie: "That's... sudden. I am very saddened to hear it", before considering the implications of having a dead Princess
- [8:38 PM] Runic: Lexon quickly fills a couple of bottles with mead within the messhall for the trip
- [8:39 PM] Runic: Somewhat content by the amount, about 4 bottles of mead, he stores them
- [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, you know how Mr. Bright feels from Lyria, right? It was rather evident. So..." Recelle chews her lower lip a little, concerned.
- [8:39 PM] Sawai: "I'm going too", orders Alicia.
- [8:40 PM] Faerie: At the risk of sounding insensitive to himself, Razmik ponders for a second and whispers to Alicia. Some magical influence outside, in the battlefield? Giving an excuse to charge straight into a fight they'd be hard-pressed to win under normal circumstances? "It might be a trap."
- [8:40 PM] Mizuki: (>orders)
- [8:40 PM] Faerie: It SO was a trap, Razmik thought. Didn't take a whole lot of common sense to consider that possibility.(edited)
- [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am with you; I am not officially under HIS payroll, but yours..." Recelle nods. "Hopefully, something more sane."
- [8:40 PM] Runic: He then takes a mug and fills it up, and quickly basks himself in its rich, sweet aroma
- [8:40 PM] §upposition: "The boy's fortune is incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if he walked out of this with a couple war stories. It's times like these boys are guided to their destinies. I vouch for him"
- [8:41 PM] Runic: 'They added apples, huh.' Lexon notes to himself
- [8:41 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+2
- [8:41 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 14, Result: 16
- [8:42 PM] Faerie: "Bucko? Is Bucky going with us, then? Haven't seen him since last night at the table."
- [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What are you rolling for?
- [8:42 PM] Faerie: (What'd you think!)
- [8:42 PM] Mizuki: "We will manage" -whispered Alicia back to Raz - "Lets just try to discover some information, try to stay safe"
- [8:42 PM] Kaperis: John rubs his chin, deep in thought. "Still, this whole magic thing doesn't sit well with me... hey, wait." John turns to Recelle. "Do Orcs even use magic like this? Or necromancy?"(edited)
- [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Please append your roll with description if you are rolling without instructions)
- [8:42 PM] Runic: (Whether I'd be hindered by one drink)
- [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Elsewise I'll consider it to be a roll of suicidal stabs :smugpopo: )
- [8:43 PM] Runic: (:surprisedpopo: )
- [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Only way to know!)
- [8:43 PM] Kaperis: He figures the one with an elven perspective might know the most about this.
- [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You should be fine unless you intentionally drink more than you can handle; adventurers are not stopped by alcohols or orcs.
- [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John brings up a good point.
- [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle ... shrugs, albeit a bit hesitant. "Orcs can have high priests, but I am not sure what this is. Maybe if I take a look outside?"
- [8:45 PM] Runic: Lexon tries to determine how heavy the alchol is
- [8:45 PM] Runic: (Guess I roll wis for that Koga?)
- [8:45 PM] Mizuki: Lets not waste more time, everyone. We have only two hours, lets get Bucky and Illiad too, I'm sure they will be of great help" - Said Alicia passing near Lexon while snatching a bottle from his pocket.
- [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (What do you mean by heavy? weight or?)
- [8:45 PM] Runic: (Alchol content)
- [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's... mild for mead.
- [8:46 PM] Kaperis: John nods. "Anyone who gets sick out there should fall back, though."
- [8:46 PM] Mizuki: (sleigh of hand)
- [8:46 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+5
- [8:46 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 3, Result: 8
- [8:46 PM] Runic: (Alright 5 mugs of mead it is then)
- [8:46 PM] Mizuki: (fugg)
- [8:46 PM] Faerie: "I don't know about orcs, themselves" - butting in, "but I've seen SOME things definitely out of place here. First Gruumsh's influence on our first battle, then the rune on that giant and the ghouls."
- [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Can't sleigh of hand other players via roll; you do with their permission instead :sadpopo: )
- [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (prevents sillyfuck kender roleplayeres)
- [8:47 PM] Mizuki: (aw :sadpopo: )
- [8:47 PM] Faerie: Also bringing up what he considered fair points, Razmik adds: "Could it be possible that something is assisting them? Outside of the you-know-what?"
- [8:48 PM] Runic: Lexon continues to indulge himself of the sensational, yet mild mead, and after 5 mugs worth of it swigging around in his stomach, he's satisfied, and leaves the messhall, leaving behind a keg much more lighter than it was earlier
- [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Instead of mugs, which have no lid, you are able to carry them in bottles in a knapsack or something, Lexon.
- [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The monks are nice enough to package it for you, even.
- [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, you are also consuming some on the spot?
- [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: hic
- [8:50 PM] Mizuki: Last time Alicia was awake, she tried to do some research about that. Crossdream influence or something. She tries to remember something that might be helpful on the upcoming adventure
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d5-2
- [8:50 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d5-2]: 5, Result: 3
- [8:50 PM] Runic: (I already determined that I filled them up with some bottles before I decided to consume them on the spot Koga, oh well, makes a bit more sense since I didn't really specify I got the empty bottles from the messhall)
- [8:50 PM] Mizuki: (can I roll arcana for that?)
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm. You are under alcoholic influence for 3 hours, Lexon - effectively poisoned.
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
- [8:51 PM] Runic: Lexon is too happy to care at the moment
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Certain tasks, however, are not under disadvantage.
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia: Erm... arcana on what exactly?
- [8:51 PM] Runic: "Alright everyone, I'm ready whenever you are" Lexon says cheerly
- [8:52 PM] Faerie: ''...Lexon? Er, what's wrong?''
- [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You inquires of a somewhat broad topic to which I don't know how to answer exactly. :sadpopo:
- [8:52 PM] Mizuki: (The ability of influencing something to happen in the dreamworld from the real world)
- [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it.
- [8:52 PM] Mizuki: (like someone assisting the orcs from outside)
- [8:53 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+7
- [8:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 8, Result: 15
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You don't know.
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You aren't sure.
- [8:53 PM] Runic: "Huh? Oh, nothing nothing! Just finally had something to drink, feeling preeettty good right about now" Lexon responds with a goofy smile
- [8:54 PM] Faerie: Was that mead he smelled around the boy? Wait, wait. That wouldn't be right; Lexon was raised by Dwarves, not a Dwaf himself!
- [8:54 PM] Mizuki: "Dumbass." - Alicia thought. This isn't the time to drink that much...
- [8:54 PM] Kaperis: In the meanwhile, John explains his suspicions. Armsdale doesn't see too many Orcs -- the smaller, more cunning goblinoid races tend to be the ones that thrive nearby. But if the Orcs (of this world) are anything like the ones John knows, then tactics like these wouldn't be too popular with them. Weren't Orcs supposed to be all about 'brawn over magic and trickery'?
- [8:55 PM] Faerie: ''Young man, have you been drinking right before a fight? Look at the time, it's barely late enough to be awake!''
- [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Whatever it is, you should hurry; it's going to get worse the longer you take prepping - the fact that you are under a time constraint before Nhari leads a suicidal charge doesn't help!
- [8:55 PM] §upposition: "We should go." Denalthir pipes in behind Alicia and John's backs
- [8:55 PM] Sawai: "Sure you're not orcs, then?"(edited)
- [8:55 PM] Runic: "I'll be fine, I made sure not to drink too much!"
- [8:56 PM] Mizuki: Alicia walks around recruiting men for the adventure. Including Illiad and little Bucky.
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Between the confusions and jabs, and the organization of troops,
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d6+2
- [8:56 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d6+2]: 5, Result: 7
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A couple of minutes passed.
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: With a hand under his chin and the other feeling around for his pouch, Razmik takes a good, hard look at Lexon and tries to asess his condition.
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: (Can I roll Insight?)
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad is ready for the call, bringing Buck with him. "Bad news out there, huh?"
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You don't need to.)
- [8:57 PM] Kaperis: John seems conflicted about taking Bucky. He seems to have a guardian angel of some kind, but... he hasn't had to walk straight through cursed land before.
- [8:57 PM] Mizuki: Alicia explains the situation to Illiad and Bucky
- [8:57 PM] Faerie: (Is it noticeable that he's drunk as fugg, then?)
- [8:57 PM] Kaperis: He resolves himself to tell Bucky to fall back if anything looks too dangerous.
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It isn't hard to notice a level of drunkardness.)
- [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Lexon's spirit is heightened beyond normal, if nothing else. Others think of it as Dutch courage.)
- [8:58 PM] Mizuki: "It will be dangerous, we know nothing of the curse so far" - Alicia explains
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Bucky nods. "Aye, guvs. I'll keep my head low and spear high - like Illiad taught me!"
- [8:59 PM] Kaperis: John's all ready to go! I mean, he's always in his armor with field supplies, so he just kinda grabbed his weapon and stuff, but yeah!
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm, look where you are pok- Actually, close your eyes." Illiad suggested, noting that the boy likely strikes better if he relies on luck.
- [9:00 PM] Mizuki: "I hope you're still holding on to that dagger!" - Alicia smiles while walking around, recruiting the rest
- [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 10 other hardened soldiers and 2 "Monks" are also with you.
- [9:01 PM] Mizuki: (commander Alicia :smile:)
- [9:01 PM] Kaperis: (John's too much of a tool to lead~)
- [9:02 PM] §upposition: (Koga, we had a long rest right? May I take those 2 regular healing potions and the one potion of cold resist using the 2 dragonscales I took?)
- [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "George Weatherlight. I will be heeding your command for this day; May the Wind carry us to victory." "Mirthe, of Weatherlight." One male human monk and a female halfling monk speaks, seemingly combat ready.
- [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Take?)
- [9:02 PM] §upposition: (Make)
- [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not yet.)
- [9:02 PM] Faerie: After considering taking Lexon's fun away from him, Razmik backpedals on his reasoning: it wouldn't be wise to spend precious healing now when the day ahead would undoubtedly be bloody.
- [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They take a while in your real life downtime moments.)
- [9:03 PM] §upposition: (Gotcha gotcha)
- [9:03 PM] §upposition: (spells recharged tho?)
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ayep!)
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You have an effective long rest.)
- [9:03 PM] Faerie: (Got you.)
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ready to move out?
- [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The longer you take, the worse it gets. :smugpopo:
- [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [9:04 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 86, Result: 86
- [9:04 PM] §upposition: Denalthir is ready to head out
- [9:04 PM] Kaperis: John frowns at Lexon -- AND Razmik. He clears his throat lightly, and comments: "You know, the worst thing about being drunk is it makes you late for duty..." Cough.
- [9:04 PM] Sawai: (Phew, spells recharged)
- [9:04 PM] Mizuki: "Now we're all set! Lets go" - Said Alicia heading to the gates while patting the princess 's head
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You head out from the front gate. Immediately you can see the landscape being somewhat more desolate than before.
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Religion check.
- [9:05 PM] Faerie: ''John, our little story certainly makes sense. Good to put things into perspective, at least. Er, wording aside, of course. I don't think Nhari was too thrilled...'', Razmik commented under his breath while following Alicia to the gates.
- [9:05 PM] Faerie: (Everyone?)(edited)
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Everyone who wishes)
- [9:05 PM] §upposition: Roll 1d20+3

- [9:05 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
- [9:05 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 3, Result: 2

- [9:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 15, Result: 16
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia: The battlefield in its entirety is Desecrated; Undeads attack and makes skill checks with Advantage.
- [9:06 PM] §upposition: (Oh wait that was a plus 5 wasn't it :sadpopo: )
- [9:06 PM] Faerie: (fuck)
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not only that, you further note that this desecration is from the result of...
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A lich, or death knight, being created.
- [9:06 PM] Faerie: (FUCK ME)
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [9:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 9, Result: 9

- [9:07 PM] Mizuki: ([panic])
- [9:07 PM] Runic: (Ehh might as well roll)(edited)
- [9:07 PM] Faerie: ''So... what's with the scenery? It rubs me the wrong way.''
- [9:07 PM] Runic: roll 1d20-1
- [9:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 12, Result: 11
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now, the good news
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It doesn't affect you much.
- [9:08 PM] Faerie: (For now :sadpopo:)
- [9:08 PM] Mizuki: Alicia pales and explains everything to her companions. Telling all the truth is the best way to go on this kind of situation
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Alright, even I want to go home right now." Illiad says, as a few soldiers pale.
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "How can the orcs have this level of magic?" Recelle proclaims. "Something isn't right here."
- [9:09 PM] Faerie: Razmik's boddy perks up, as his shoulder stiffen. ''The undead! As it turns, we were right; this can't be the orcs' doing alone!''
- [9:09 PM] Mizuki: (if we find the lich or death Knight under creation, we can stop it, right?)
- [9:09 PM] Kaperis: John looks down the line of soldiers. Their uneasiness is making him uneasy!
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Perhaps.)
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There might be hope, right?)
- [9:10 PM] Mizuki: (s-sure)
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Illiad, you don't like the walking dead much, huh?" Bucky asks.
- [9:11 PM] Faerie: Razmik tries to explain his suspicions to Recelle, ''I had my doubts about the powers at play ever since we came across the reanimated Second Battalion: Orcs shouldn't be allowed to pull this kind of stunt off, not by any means.''
- [9:11 PM] Kaperis: (Liches need some 'unspeakably evil act', and I don't think just doing a reverse-consecration of some dirt counts. Death Knights require a corrupted champion or an especially powerful oath broken.)
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Always hated them." Illiad says.
- [9:11 PM] Mizuki: Alicia turns to the soldiers - "If we find the lich or death Knight under creation, we might be able to stop it! There's still hope, it isn't over yet!"
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And of course, you not only don't know this, but it may not be true. :sadpopo: )
- [9:12 PM] Kaperis: (kek)
- [9:12 PM] Mizuki: (;-;)
- [9:12 PM] Faerie: (wew)
- [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Right..."
- [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... S-sure..."
- [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The soldiers' replies are lukewarm.
- [9:12 PM] Mizuki: (soldiers pls)
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Bucky waves at the soldiers. "Hey, hey, come on now, we are just scouting, guvs. Surely you don't want to lose to a mere farmhand like me!"
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 3d20
- [9:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d20]: 7,18,3, Result: 28
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The soldiers look at each other a bit. "... I suppose." "Yeah, sure, Bucky, race ya."
- [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... They are extremely demoralized, but will heed your command.
- [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad whispers to John. "The men are likely to balk and flee at first sign of things going wrong. Heck, I myself am quaking a bit in my boots..."
- NEW MESSAGES
- [9:15 PM] Faerie: Razmik attempts to get some spirit back into everyone, by doing something he's not even sure he's able to do.
- [9:15 PM] Kaperis: "A lich? Naw, that's ridiculous. They're from stories and books, how could a normal person run into one?" John doesn't seem demoralized! Yet.
- [9:15 PM] Mizuki: Alicia looks around, trying to find a suspicious place or a good place to start
- [9:15 PM] Mizuki: (investigation)
- [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Perception instead, Mizu.
- [9:16 PM] Mizuki: (p-pls no)
- [9:16 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+1
- [9:16 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 15, Result: 16
- [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura assist you by aerial scoutin gand sense sharing.

- [9:16 PM] Mizuki: Roll 2d20+1
- [9:16 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20+1]: 14,15, Result: 30
- [9:16 PM] §upposition: (wew)
- [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 16.
- [9:16 PM] Kaperis: John helps survey the area too, though he's not sure what to look for. Other than ghouls and orcs, that is.
- [9:17 PM] Mizuki: (the "2" was a misstype)
- [9:17 PM] §upposition: Denalthir sticks to the body of the force, making herself as small a target as possible
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The land before you is desolate. You notice some orc scouts in the sky, roaming on fattened vultures. In the distance, there's... One singular orc, heavily armored in chain mail, riding toward you on a zombie warhorse.
- [9:17 PM] Faerie: With a low rumble, his weapon arm emits some faint light, trailing across his raised hand for all to see. ''Bucko, you're right; the undead aren't so scary if you've got someone good watching over you. Like *He watches over us.''
- [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He's a distance away, about 300 feet.
- [9:18 PM] Faerie: (Fuck, a single orc?)
- [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Just one.)
- [9:18 PM] §upposition: (IT BEGINS)(edited)
- [9:18 PM] Runic: (Oh boy)
- [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The soldiers are not particularily impressed. They are remined of how their finest, one wielding the Legacy of Morninglord, has already fallen in the orc's hands.
- [9:19 PM] Mizuki: "Lets start by killing that one" - Alicia points at the orc charging - "Get ready Recelle!"
- [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle nods!
- [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+6
- [9:19 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 7, Result: 13
- [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The orc raises his shield arm.
- [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bullet were turned by a skillful block.
- [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He didn't really flinch.
- [9:20 PM] Mizuki: "Lexon, lend me one of your shortswords, I prefer faster weapons" - Said Alicia
- [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "R-reloading!" Recelle is surprised how she didn't do much with that shot.
- [9:21 PM] Runic: Lexon nods "Here yah go, have fun with it" Lexon says happily, handing one of his shortswords to Alicia
- [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Human!" The orc shouts once he's in shout range, his voice carried by the still wind.
- [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+6
- [9:21 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 20, Result: 26
- [9:21 PM] Kaperis: Now that the first shot's been fired, John runs out to stand in the rider's path! "In the name of the law, halt!" An outrider, huh.
- [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Promptly shot by Recelle.
- [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d12+4
- [9:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d12+4]: 3, Result: 7
- [9:22 PM] Mizuki: "Thank you!" - Said Alicia smiling
- [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 3d6
- [9:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d6]: 5,2,6, Result: 13
- [9:22 PM] Faerie: ''Keep shooting. That was an amazing snipe, just now.''
- [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The orc grunts, as the shot went past all his defense. But he's within 120 feet now.
- [9:22 PM] §upposition: Denalthir prepares a firebolt as the orc approaches: It's clear this is going to be a battle.
- [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I come bearing message, you swine." He swears in Common.
- [9:22 PM] §upposition: (Oh.)
- [9:23 PM] Mizuki: (H-How unexpected)
- [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle reloads; she follows your command, not the orc's.
- [9:23 PM] Mizuki: Alicia readies a firebolt and wait
- [9:23 PM] Faerie: Fuck. That... was unfortunate.
- [9:24 PM] Kaperis: "Then come no more than twenty paces closer, and deliver it where you stand!" yells John.
- [9:24 PM] Faerie: ''And you did not even falter after getting shot at. Whoever picked you for the task must trust you, then!''
- [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll speak from here. Human, lay down your arm, for your leader have fallen, one Lyria, of Falis bloodline." The orc speaks. "By the power invested in me, as the Broken-Arrow's knight, I promise you your lives!"
- [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You will merely work for us, as laborers, and your lives shall not be spilled on the accursed ground!"
- [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... He also breathes and streadies himself.
- [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d10+1
- [9:25 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d10+1]: 2, Result: 3
- [9:26 PM] Mizuki: "What the hell happened here?" - Asked Alicia firebolt on her hand - "Undead everywhere, the field is desolate"
- [9:26 PM] Kaperis: "Uh..." John balks, looking back at his comrades. Armsdale strictly does not negotiate with monsters, but he doesn't have the authority to make that call here!
- [9:27 PM] Faerie: ''We don't mean to boast, but as a knight you must also realize that we, too, are in service of someone. Would you even entertain the thought of surrendering, if you were in our shoes?'' Razmik raises his tone, hoping it'll carry his intent well.
- [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The orcs have friends, too, human." The orc knight grins. "Ones from below who have long spurred the way of the human oppressing our kind."
- [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... That is true, human." The knight thinks.
- [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What of this: We duel." The orc knight suggests. "Not to the death, but me against a number of you. The winner listen to the loser."
- [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Honor for honor, proven by strength. What do you say?" The orc knight's obviously drunken with power, and almost too sure of himself.
- [9:28 PM] Faerie: Didn't this knight sound a bit too reasonable for an orc? Thinking on it, thinking on it...
- [9:29 PM] Kaperis: ... Actually, since when do orcs have knighthood, either? John seems to be learning a lot about them today.
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They normally don't, John. That's a good point.
- [9:29 PM] Mizuki: "What is your name, Orc?" - Asked Alicia
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Orcs are usually too unruly and... unorganized.
- [9:29 PM] Mizuki: (bloodaxe)
- [9:29 PM] Faerie: ''Do you stake your word on it, then? Because, I have something about friends to share with you as well.''
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am Saul Broken-Arrow, Chief Lucant Broken-Arrow's brother!" He hits his chest with a gauntleted fist. "I swear upon my name and honor."
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... And whatever you want me to swear on, human. Your kind look down upon orcish honor, do you not?"
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He sneers.
- [9:31 PM] Kaperis: "Well, no, but I didn't know it existed until just now!" John replies truthfully.
- [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+7
- [9:32 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 9, Result: 16
- [9:32 PM] Faerie: ''Know that here and now, we carry the will of your kin; the fallen Bloodaxe, who fought bravely and did not want to see the pointlessness of this war taken to such an extreme.'' Razmik shows the knight his axe, still strapped to his back.
- [9:32 PM] Mizuki: "You're the second honorable and slightly talkative orc I ever met, truth be told." - Answered Alicia
- [9:32 PM] Kaperis: (Weren't the bloodaxes looked down on?)
- [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Bloodaxe? Have you slain that idealistic fool's son?" The orc frowns.
- [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "He was a good man. But a fool. May his soul rest with Gruum- Huh." Saul catches himself.
- [9:33 PM] Faerie: ''I did not want to see your brother dead, but yes, it what happened. He himself said there likely was no other way.''
- [9:33 PM] Faerie: ''He was no fool'', Razmik adds. He sneers.
- [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Anyways! I grow impatient! Trial by combat, or not, your choice!" He shouts. "I can use some fine muscles like you for underlings."
- [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We conquer human. That's the only way to do this. Co-existing is just a pipe dream."
- [9:34 PM] Faerie: ''He worshipped Luthic.'', the Paladin corrected, emboldened by the memory of Bloodaxe.
- [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes, yes, Luthic. Now, how about it?" The orc grins.
- [9:35 PM] Faerie: (It's happening)
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I say we rush him." Illiad suggests quietly.
- [9:35 PM] §upposition: Denalthir holds her spell, along with the troupe, who likely held themselves from launching an all out offensive
- [9:35 PM] Mizuki: "What are the rules of the combat? We all, against you? You sure seem full of yourself" -Said Alicia(edited)
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Bring down his horse and rest of us are all faster than him, due to our Blessing."
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Even I would be hard pressed against all of you at once. How about this - without your Falis human soldiers - they'd likely just be meatshields anyhow."
- [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I resent that!" Illiad shouts in reply.
- [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The two Weatherlight monks look at you lot.
- [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I promise to no deal killing blows; in return, shall all of you fall and they fail to stop me afterward, you lot become my personal guards." He grins.
- [9:36 PM] §upposition: Denalthir smirks
- [9:36 PM] §upposition: "...He's right y'know"
- [9:37 PM] Faerie: (Alright, Insight. Does he seem to tell the truth?)
- [9:37 PM] Mizuki: (I want that, lets accept it?)
- [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Insight, go.
- [9:37 PM] Mizuki: (the duel)
- [9:37 PM] Runic: (Yeah sure, lets do it)
- [9:37 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+3

- [9:38 PM] Kaperis: "... What did you just say." A growl resounds from John's helmet, whose shadow covers his eyes even more than usual. "The soldiers are what, now?"
- [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have no idea.
- [9:38 PM] Faerie: (Hew.)
- [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll with disadvantage, Lexon.
- [9:39 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+3
- [9:39 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 13, Result: 16
- [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems legit.
- [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This orc is either a fool or extremely proud.
- [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He'd sooner kill himself than betray his own pride.
- [9:40 PM] Faerie: (Seems legit.)
- [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Um." Recelle finishes reloading.
- [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I didn't catch most of that, do I shoot again?"
- [9:41 PM] Mizuki: (brb I'll get some water)
- [9:41 PM] Mizuki: (I think we should accept the duel btw)
- [9:41 PM] Faerie: ''I think the same. Isn't it about time... we get this over with?'' Razmik gestures to John, noting his sudden shift in attitude. ''Let's speak with our blows. I have many questions I want him to answer.''
- [9:42 PM] Kaperis: (Baaah, I wish I could invoke Know Your Enemy, but it's a 7th level move.)
- [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Then let us talk with our blades!" The orc roars with laugher, drawing a longsword... And arcane energy crackles around his body. He's not just a mere warrior.
- [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Initiative.
- [9:43 PM] §upposition: Denalthir steps forward with the others. This lot just couldn't be left alone with that thing.
- [9:43 PM] Kaperis: John walks forward beside Razmik, silent as death.
- [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad frowns. "Alright. We got your back; just give us a shout anytime."
- [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Bucky nods, stepping forth.
- [9:43 PM] Faerie: Razmik unsheathes, casting Bloodaxe aside for now. His shield would be needed, he felt.
- [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle pulls Bucky back.
- [9:44 PM] §upposition: roll 1d20+1

- [9:46 PM] Runic: (Oh I guess I roll again then)
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You... didn't roll did you?
- [9:46 PM] Faerie: (Oh, he did roll once)
- [9:46 PM] Runic: (I rolled twice before)
- [9:47 PM] Runic: (2 times again)
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That was for insight)
- [9:47 PM] Faerie: (Got a 22 and 16)
- [9:47 PM] Runic: (?)
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are rolling initiative right now)
- [9:47 PM] Faerie: (Neat)

- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Right
- [9:47 PM] Faerie: (Oh, you're right!)
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your turn first - the orc seems to be readying a charge!
- [9:48 PM] Mizuki: Alicia releases her firebolt on the orc' Undead horse!
- [9:48 PM] Faerie: (I think our order is
- Alicia = Razmik > Denalthir = Azura > Lexon > John > Orc, barring modifiers)
- [9:48 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+5
- [9:48 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 12, Result: 17
- [9:48 PM] Faerie: (WAIT WHY THE HORSE)
- [9:49 PM] Mizuki: (he's still mounted, right?)
- [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The orc's eye glints... and spurs his horse out of the way of the firebolt.
- [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your firebolt misses!
- [9:49 PM] Mizuki: (WHAT THE FUGGG)
- [9:49 PM] Runic: "Why the horsie?" Lexon questions curriously
- [9:49 PM] Kaperis: (brb restroom)
- [9:50 PM] Mizuki: (Well, pass)
- [9:50 PM] Faerie: (Oh man)
- [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik.
- [9:50 PM] Faerie: ''What was that about? You sure are fast, though!''
- [9:51 PM] Mizuki: Alicia was pretty sure it was a pretty good firebolt, and she still missed! That orc is faster than she thought... Way faster...
- [9:51 PM] Faerie: Razmik focuses on the sigil on his shield, calling upon Lathander's aid here again, once more.
- [9:51 PM] Faerie: Bless on John, Lexon and himself.
- [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not just that - chain mail is considered to be Heavy Armor, is it not?
- [9:51 PM] Faerie: (The old reliable :sadpopo:)
- [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright - Morninglord's light seems just a bit brighter than usual, perhaps due to the accursed desecrated ground.
- [9:51 PM] Faerie: (How far away, again?)
- [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (120ft)
- [9:52 PM] Faerie: Razmik moves 25 feet towards the orc, and steels himself. Just about anything could happen...
- [9:52 PM] Faerie: Pass.
- [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Denalthir.
- [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (1 sec, washroom, keep going)
- [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Back)
- [9:54 PM] §upposition: Denalthir fires her held firebolt, targeting the Orc himself
- [9:54 PM] §upposition: Roll 1d20+4
- [9:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 10, Result: 14
- [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The firebolt his the orc square on! ... on his shield, dissipating uselessly.
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Bring it!" The orc shouts a challenge.
- [9:55 PM] §upposition: "Hmph."
- [9:55 PM] §upposition: Denalthir eyes the Orc warily.
- [9:55 PM] §upposition: (Pass)
- [9:55 PM] Mizuki: (we're ded)
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura rushes and hovers around the orc, readying to provide support.
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon.
- [9:56 PM] Runic: Lexon draws his sword, and jogs 30 feet ahead
- [9:57 PM] Runic: (Pass)
- [9:57 PM] Faerie: (J, just 30?)
- [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You rush forth, ahead of Razmik by a small lead!
- [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, then.
- [9:57 PM] Runic: (You want me dashing ahead? Isn't the dude on a horse?)
- [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... In the background, Recelle stealthily hides behind a person...
- [9:58 PM] Kaperis: (I can't log into Mythweavers ;_;)
- [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( D: )
- [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (w's wrong?)

- [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm.
- [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Kaperis So, what's the verdict right now? Do you wish to delay, or...
- [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, well... No sense in waiting.
- [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The orc's turn- oh.
- [10:01 PM] Faerie: (I'm getting stomach butterflies!)
- [10:01 PM] Kaperis: (Sorry, trying to pw reset...)
- [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Let's have you delay for this combat round; see if you are fine next one?)
- [10:02 PM] Kaperis: (John can only close range anyway, so he'll do that.)
- [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The orc rushes forth on the undead warhorse, which knows neither fatigue nor fear.
- [10:03 PM] Faerie: (>undead
- >warhorse
- :sadpopo:)
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In just a blink of an eye, he moves forward 90 feet... Just enough to reach Lexon and Razmik.
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a word of power - those with Arcane knowledge recognize it as a Quickened True Strike - he swings down on Lexon.
- [10:04 PM] Runic: (Thought something like this would happen)
- [10:04 PM] §upposition: "Shi-"
- [10:04 PM] Faerie: (Gee, sure didn't see it comin')
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d20

- [10:04 PM] Mizuki: !rip our party
- [10:04 PM] BOTYaya: rip our party indeed.
- [10:04 PM] Faerie: (Fuck, he went for Lexon first ;_;)
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, you take 12 slashing damage as the blade eeriely flows into where you were dodging!
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The warhorse... zombified but keeping its vigor in life, seeks to trample you, Razmik.
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Strength saving throw DC 14.
- [10:06 PM] Kaperis: (OK, got it.)
- [10:06 PM] Kaperis: (Whew.)
- [10:06 PM] Faerie: (Also, what's Quickened True Strike?)
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Alrighty, you can move after the orc since it's the same round!)
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (True Strike... Quickened by metamagic.)
- [10:07 PM] Faerie: (Can't seem to find True Strike on the PHB :sadpopo:)
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (basically, the GM teaching Alicia some of the low-level sorc gish tricks. Surprisingly, this is a tutorial fight! ... Joking.)
- [10:07 PM] Faerie: (Found it, nevermind)
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( cantripmeme)
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik

- [10:08 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+3
- [10:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 17, Result: 20
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The warhorse shoves at you, but you stood strong!
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A clergy of the Morninglord shalln't bow to an undead creature!
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, you are 30 feet away from the cocksure orc knight.
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And it's your move.
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What's wrong, come on, come on! Fear me!" The orc laughs, clearly not at his full strength yet.
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I just noticed someone missing. Where is @Sawai :sadpopo: )
- [10:10 PM] Faerie: ''Dawngreeters don't answer to filthy undeath!'', shouts Razmik literally trying to keep a warhorse from pushing him back - and succeeding. The didn't even need to focus to notice the stench; it overpowered him for a second!
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I was like "initiative looks right... wait, that's with Azura")
- [10:10 PM] Runic: (inb4 sleeping)
- [10:10 PM] Runic: (Both real life and in here)
- [10:11 PM] Kaperis: John breaks into a forward dash. First, he wants to put the orc on the ground. Instead of trying to skewer the rider, he leverages his spear's shaft in attempt to force the knight from his horse.
- [10:11 PM] Faerie: @Sawaiwaiwai, ping.
- [10:11 PM] Kaperis: (Not literal Dash action, of course.)
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Fair enough. Is this with ... like, a grapple, or...)
- [10:11 PM] Kaperis: (It's a push/shove attempt.)
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Good!)
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (With your battlemaster move, or the standard push/shove?)
- [10:12 PM] Kaperis: (Standard~)
- [10:12 PM] Faerie: (That's not a maneouver, is it?)
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (kk)
- [10:12 PM] Kaperis: (Do I use my Spear attack mod, or just STR?)
- [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Strength(Atheletic))

- [10:13 PM] Mizuki: (did Yaya die?)

- [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Whoa-"
- [10:13 PM] Mizuki: (yeah back now)
- [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The orc's knocked off the horse!
- [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The warhorse look mournfully at John for a moment... Before dissolving into a swarm of tiny spiders.
- [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Which burrowed into the ground and disappears.
- [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ack, my horse!"
- [10:14 PM] Faerie: ''What the-!''
- [10:15 PM] Kaperis: John's looking at the rider. "...Stand up and fight like a man."
- [10:15 PM] Mizuki: "Nice work John!" - Shouted Alicia a bit disgusted by all the spiders
- [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Good call, how about you help me up, huh?" He taunts, clearly unable to jump back on his feet at that moment yet.
- [10:16 PM] Faerie: Did he need to concentrate on his steed for it to remain, or something? No time to think about that now, so Razmik just stands besides the injured Lexon with his weapon drawn and looks at the fallen rider!
- [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If nothing else, top of the round.
- [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia - your target is prone and thus hard to be aimed at from a distance.
- [10:16 PM] Faerie: (He's fuckig prone, alright.)
- [10:18 PM] Mizuki: "No time to waste!" - Alicia casts searing smite and charges forward slashing the orc with Lexon's shortsword!
- [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Since he's prone, you strike with advantage.
- [10:18 PM] Mizuki: (gib shortsword stats)
- [10:18 PM] Kaperis: (For the record, there are three phrases that trigger John: meat shield, cannon fodder, and red shirt.)
- [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (+5 to hit due to it using your dex)
- [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (1d6 for damage, but uses +3 for damage due to finesse)
- [10:19 PM] Faerie: (Hmm. What about ''cardgame gamble''?)
- [10:19 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+5
- [10:19 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 4, Result: 9

- [10:19 PM] Mizuki: (fug)
- [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your shortsword, on fire... Slashes inefectively on the orc's chain mail.
- [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sparks fly, but sparks are harmless. Mostly. You retain your spell though.
- [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If notyhing else, Razmik.
- [10:20 PM] Mizuki: (pass)
- [10:20 PM] Faerie: Fascinated by the energies still engulfing Alicia's blade, Razmik gets an idea. Maybe if he... just a bit closer to the knight, and then...
- [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That only triggers Bucky, Fae.)
- [10:21 PM] Faerie: ''Good to see you here, Alicia. Stay by our side!'' Razmik rushes and leaps around the orc, wishing to get behind him relative to the group
- [10:21 PM] Faerie: ''Over here, I'm about to strike!''
- [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He deems your movement not enough to like, waste his time.
- [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (He rather save his Reaction, I am sorry. :sadpopo: )
- [10:23 PM] Faerie: Playing hard to get, was he? Razmik beat on his shield using his weapon, trying to get his attention.
- [10:23 PM] Kaperis: (But he didn't take a rank of Peltasta, so it failed!)
- [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (KEK)
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your swashbuckling attempt seems to fall on busy ears.
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: Speaking over the noice, his voice booms despite him not shouting, and instructs the orc:
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ohh.
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: ''Begone.'', pointing over the hills behind him.(edited)
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: (Command, as in the spell)
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What's your spell save DC?
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+1

- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, should be lower.
- [10:25 PM] Faerie: (12, I think?)
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The magical word's enchantment takes hold, as his body seems to go against his will.
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You should be done?
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Denalthir after.
- [10:25 PM] Faerie: (If it's 8+prof+spellcasting ability mod)
- [10:25 PM] Mizuki: (opportunity attack for me?)
- [10:25 PM] Faerie: Done after that.
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (not yet; he flee on his turn)
- [10:26 PM] Faerie: Of course, he readies himself for what's about to unfold.
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Then EVERYONE around him gets one unless he disengage.)
- [10:26 PM] Faerie: (From everyone)
- [10:26 PM] Mizuki: (fuggin nice Fae)
- [10:26 PM] Kaperis: (Kek. Especially since he has to rise too.)
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But he can't disengage since that wouldn't be the fastest mean.)
- [10:26 PM] §upposition: (How far from the orc am I: I casted from max range at 120 ft before his 90ft dash)
- [10:26 PM] §upposition: (So 30 right?)
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (30 feet)
- [10:27 PM] Faerie: (Can he disengage? Spell tooltip says ''fastest available means'')

- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Please don't mouseover me :troubledkoga: )
- [10:27 PM] Mizuki: (this is a good music for Fae's paladiness)
- [10:28 PM] §upposition: Denalthir's first instinct is to cast behind a mea--someone else, but that doesn't seem to be an option here! She grits her teeth.
- [10:28 PM] §upposition: "Guess I've got no choice but to use THAT..."
- [10:28 PM] Faerie: (:sadpopo: FORCE OF HABIT :sadpopo:)
- [10:29 PM] §upposition: She inhales sharply...
- [10:29 PM] §upposition: And blows, exhaling a 120ft Fog Cloud, with the Orc at the center!
- [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:30 PM] Kaperis: (Ahhh... THAT....)
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everyone - you are covered in a cloud of heavy mist.
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are unable to see much.
- [10:30 PM] Kaperis: (What's the visibility range?)
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Heavily obscured; you are effectively Blinded)
- [10:30 PM] §upposition: She then follows this by bringing up a hand and releasing a second level quickened Magic Missile at the Orc!
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are unable to target the orc; you are unable to see him!
- [10:31 PM] Faerie: (But wait, you can't see him?)
- [10:31 PM] §upposition: (REALLY!!!!!!)
- [10:31 PM] Kaperis: ( :tiredpopo: )
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He is hidden in your fog.
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Well, so are all the melee combatants.
- [10:31 PM] Kaperis: (Wait, I thought he could see normally in his fog?)

- [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can't see him to target him; you can do it in reverse order)
- [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Magic missile into darkness is just a meme, you need a target in sight range :sadpopo: )
- [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( "See within range" is the key phrase)
- [10:33 PM] Mizuki: (I don't even have a popolion for this)
- [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are able to do this in reverse, however)
- [10:34 PM] §upposition: (OKAY I GOT THIS, who's in front of me near the orc!)
- [10:34 PM] Faerie: (Wait, you can dismiss the cloud as a bonus action only, right?)
- [10:34 PM] Faerie: (Everyone else is right next to him)
- [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (not even, it's not-an-action)
- [10:34 PM] Kaperis: (What Fae said.)
- [10:34 PM] Runic: (Everyone pretty much)
- [10:34 PM] §upposition: (FFS)
- [10:34 PM] Kaperis: (You can't see us either, so.)
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The fog cloud is 20 feet radius burst centered on the orc, after all.
- [10:35 PM] Mizuki: (how2dismiss?)
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (will it to be dismissed.)
- [10:35 PM] §upposition: Denalthir TRIES to cast a followup spell...but finds something conceptually wrong! She can't release her spell!
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, alright - since this is clearly an undesirable outcome, I am allowing backsies.
- [10:35 PM] §upposition: She clucks her tongue and dispells the cloud quickly, without explanation.
- [10:35 PM] Mizuki: (:heart:)
- [10:35 PM] §upposition: (Let me take this)
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ah, alright.)
- [10:35 PM] §upposition: (I must learn)
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The orc's confused for a moment...
- [10:36 PM] Kaperis: (sugoi)
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What th-"
- [10:36 PM] Faerie: (Well, would Denalthir be able to dismiss it instantly after? I think 4 OAs are worth the spell slot, worst case scenario ;_;)
- [10:36 PM] Mizuki: (at least it was funny as fug)
- [10:36 PM] §upposition: Denalthir stares intently at the orc, playing it off as part of her group's plan
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can't OA when you are blinded, silly Fae. You can't see the target moving out of your threat range.)
- [10:36 PM] §upposition: (Pass)
- [10:36 PM] Faerie: (I mean, if you get past the cold sweat it made me break into!)

- [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .... pecks at the orc, harassing him.
- [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Quit it!"
- [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon.
- [10:37 PM] Kaperis: (This orc is gonna have the weirdest story to tell.)
- [10:38 PM] Runic: (He's still prone right?)
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah, I got dragged down by some dude that looks like a nondescript town guard, then the paladin became a sorcerer and then I couldn't see for a second, then a bird shat on my face.)
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yep)
- [10:39 PM] Runic: "What a fucking wound" "Glad I drank a little before heading out"
- [10:39 PM] Faerie: (''So, this fucker with the funny speech curses me to run and then some elf chick with anemia blew smoke all over my face... before a drunken dorf fucking tries to gut me but falls over next to me instead'')
- [10:39 PM] Runic: Lexon decides to drop his sword, stradles the Orc and tries to punch him in the face
- [10:40 PM] Faerie: (PFFFFFT)
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Awkward - straddling won't do much unless you act to restrain him.
- [10:40 PM] Mizuki: (RUNIC P L S)
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Which would be a grapple.
- [10:40 PM] Mizuki: (DON'T)
- [10:40 PM] Faerie: (Won't do much since he's gonna try to run away as fast as he can on his turn anyway)
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Strength (Athletics) versus check.
- [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not fun allowed huh :sadpopo: )
- [10:41 PM] Runic: (Probably a waste of time to be honest, doubt I'm stronger)
- [10:41 PM] Runic: (Plus I don't want him to run)
- [10:41 PM] Mizuki: (even if he's restrained?)
- [10:41 PM] Runic: (...)
- [10:41 PM] Mizuki: (he needs to run away for the PLAN though)
- [10:41 PM] Runic: Lexon tries to restrain the orc!
- [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it.
- [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You roll with disadvantage.
- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wait, grapple.
- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: YOU ARE TOO DRUNK TO CARE
- [10:42 PM] Runic: !roll 1d20+2
- [10:42 PM] BOTYaya: Runic rolled 1-1 and got 1
- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Normal.

- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Gah, off me!"
- [10:42 PM] §upposition: (So much for drunken strength)
- [10:42 PM] Kaperis: (Can't Lex just stab him? Prone = advantage to melee attackers, right?)(edited)
- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You slip and slid off orc.
- [10:42 PM] Runic: (That'd be boring though)
- [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With nothing else, John.
- [10:43 PM] Runic: Lexon chuckles at the attempt
- [10:43 PM] Kaperis: (Did the Orc take his turn?)
- [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (not yet, you move first)
- [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can delay until him)
- [10:45 PM] Faerie: "That looked dangerous, with that wound on you. Be careful!"
- [10:45 PM] Kaperis: John moves up directly next to the Orc and reverses the grip on his spear, bringing it down.
- [10:45 PM] Runic: "Don't tell me what to do!" Lexon retalliates
- [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everything sort of falls apart for a good half second before your eyes, what with a lad slippin' and caster mistin'.
- [10:45 PM] Kaperis: (Because using reach is disadvantage on a prone target :sadpopo: )
- [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Still a melee attack)
- [10:46 PM] Runic: Lexon laughs hysterically
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Reach doesn't make your melee attack ranged, so you are actually ok)
- [10:46 PM] Kaperis: (The book says "within 5 feet")
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh. Well.)
- [10:46 PM] Faerie: "This is reckless behavior, go back to Illiad and think about what you've done!)

- [10:47 PM] Kaperis: (Oh, I can... riiiight.)
- [10:47 PM] Kaperis: (Yes, but is it too late?)
- [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It get multiplied as well.
- [10:47 PM] Faerie: (You could also argue that reach attacks are the same as melee attacks in all aspects beside distance, I think)
- [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, I am ok with it.
- [10:48 PM] Kaperis: Maneuver: Distracting Strike! Because a coup-de-grace-like downward plunge is probably fairly concerning.
- [10:48 PM] Kaperis: roll 2d8
- [10:48 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8]: 1,6, Result: 7
- [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A well-placed lucky strike... Right between the orc's legs!
- [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fortunately, he's heavily armored.
- [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Unfortunately, it hurts like hell and fire.
- [10:49 PM] Faerie: (Wait, what's the +8 mod on your damage roll?)
- [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Advantage once again, but that doesn't stack.
- [10:49 PM] Faerie: Whhat
- [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ohh, damage multiplier doesn't multiply the damage mod)
- [10:50 PM] Faerie: (Advantage works on- oh nevermind)
- [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (+4)
- [10:50 PM] Kaperis: (Oops, subtract 4 total, then.)
- [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul groans.
- [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else?
- [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He's actually pretty battered, between your attempts to bring him down. Rather successfully, at that.
- [10:51 PM] Kaperis: That... okay, that was a little mean, even though John was mad! He silently apologizes and takes a step back.
- [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With that, it's Saul's turn.
- [10:51 PM] Mizuki: (ITS TIME)
- [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He attempts to stand up - stood up. He cannot use aggressive to move, so he uses his action to give himself additional movement and moves away from the group in melee...
- [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Triggering Opportunity Attack - those in melee may take Reaction to strike at him.
- [10:52 PM] §upposition: :exclamation: :exclamation:
- [10:52 PM] Runic: Lexon punches him!
- [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The first strike has Advantage from distracting strike
- [10:52 PM] Faerie: "Still willing? Come, I am here!", Razmik taunts -seemingly something he's been rather successful at
- [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The second strike is aided by Azura.
- [10:53 PM] Faerie: "Let Alicia take point!"
- [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Also advantage)
- [10:53 PM] Mizuki: "I won't miss this time!" - Alicia slashes!
- [10:53 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+5
- [10:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 12, Result: 17
- [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Arcane shield!" Saul shouts, taking his Reaction.
- [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A shimmering shield appears, boosting his defense!
- [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll again.
- [10:53 PM] Mizuki: Roll 1d20+5
- [10:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 20, Result: 25
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well
- [10:54 PM] Faerie: Well.
- [10:54 PM] §upposition: Well!
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your strike flows between his armor, shield, arcane shield

- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and defense, and movement, and dodges
- [10:54 PM] Mizuki: (TADA~)

- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: RIGHT INTO HIM.
- [10:54 PM] Faerie: Also Bless
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If this strike will bring him down, I'll let you know so that you won't kill him.
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :neutral_face:
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (if you don't want to)

- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I can't stop the crits, he's got AC 24 with Shield on :neutral_face: )
- [10:55 PM] Mizuki: Roll 2d6+6
- [10:55 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6+6]: 6,5, Result: 17
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may kill him.
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or you erm. May stop short of the killing blow.
- [10:55 PM] Faerie: (Just change to nonlethal)
- [10:55 PM] Mizuki: (ÁAAAAAAAAA)
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo:
- [10:55 PM] Faerie: (You can do that)
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You'll knock him unconscious instead.
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You also won't be doing extra 50 damage with your searing smite, so he can't die from massive damage.
- [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- [10:56 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stops her strike, it was a deal
- [10:56 PM] Kaperis: (Also, just happy about this: it probably wouldn't have been possible to unhorse him without a reach weapon, you'd only be able to push the horse.)
- [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Overconfidence... "
- [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul faints.
- [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Combat Over.jpg
- [10:57 PM] Faerie: (You hear a jingle in your head. Battle won!)
- [10:57 PM] Kaperis: "... I feel better now," John says, wiping his brow. He should exercise more control; he must've looked unprofessional!
- [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Overconfidence is truly a slow and insidious killer.)
- [10:57 PM] Kaperis: (also, have to shower, sorry.)
- [10:57 PM] Runic: "WOOOH"
- [10:58 PM] Mizuki: (a singular strike!)
- [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".. so, I don't get to shoot him while he's running away?" Recelle seems disappointed.
- [10:58 PM] Faerie: (Well, that could have been worse! Fucking killer unmount by John)
- [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul, normally one of the strongest warrior of the orc side of things...
- [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... sort of fell prey to Bucky-level luck.
- [10:59 PM] §upposition: (Thanks Bucky :sadpopo: )
- [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In a moment, after properly contained by the soldiers and ropes, he can stir awake. Or you can beat him into submission further.
- [10:59 PM] Faerie: (Well... yeah.)
- [10:59 PM] Mizuki: (well, lets ask our questions)
- [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura meows softly. Did she j- right, raven.
- [11:00 PM] Faerie: ''We did have a deal, and he seemed intent on honoring it. It's best to treat him decently; he didn't try to pull any tricks on us, after all.''
- [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Alright, you got me." Saul answers, bounded. "As per the agreement, I am yours!" He seems rather cheerful, despite it all.
- [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's an honor to serve the strong; you are stronger than I."
- [11:01 PM] Mizuki: Alicia has an smile from ear to ear. She pets Azura. - "Thanks for the help!"
- [11:01 PM] Faerie: Razmik puts away his shield and lets out a sigh, the strain of casting more than usual being felt by his mind.
- [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura coo's softly.
- [11:01 PM] Faerie: (Fuck.)
- [11:02 PM] §upposition: Denalthir sits on the ground, just happy that that embarrasing ordeal is over with
- [11:02 PM] Runic: Lexon quickly pulls out a bottle of mead, and gives it to Saul as a sign of friendship" Here, here! Drink!"
- [11:02 PM] Mizuki: "That was one hell of a fight" - Said Alicia still smiling
- [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He doesn't have a choice in that matter, bounded by rope as he is.
- [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, you certainly treat those under you well." Saul says cheerfully.
- [11:03 PM] Faerie: ''Even in the face of death, Lucien did not falter, and his legs did not give way. Surely, you wouldn't call that a fool's death?'', spoke Razmik, lightly hinting at Saul's inability to do the same.
- [11:04 PM] Faerie: Then, he shifts his tone, and squatting next to him, asks: ''Your name if you will, please.''
- [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh, that fool got himself killed..." Saul frowns. "A pity. I like drinking with him - he's one of the few orc that actually can carry a conversation without going into fire and blood."
- [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Saul, Broken-Arrow!" He says, proudly.
- [11:05 PM] Runic: "LEXON" Lexon yells, trying to sound prouder(edited)
- [11:06 PM] Mizuki: "Well, maybe you could start by telling us who your friends from below are" - Said Alicia
- [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad considers for a moment. But shrugs and say nothing. The two Weatherlight monks stand vigil, "We'll keep an eye out."
- [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh? Should be obvious?" Saul chuckles. "Like, I don't know where exactly, but a few weeks ago, a group of drow came up from the caves, and talked to my brother."
- [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Said something about granting him great power and achieving his destiny, and he gobbled it up like an idiot."
- [11:07 PM] Faerie: That felt so weird. His demeanor in captivity seemed... impressive, in fact! Razmik understood that they were in front of someone brave, and was relieved they wouldn't have to kill another defenseless warrior.
- [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Shit, that was IMPRESSIVE, you... erm..." Saul looks for John, but seems to have missed him in the crowd. "Whatever, that kid with the pike."
- [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Not cool hitting me down there, but that was impressive, bringing me down like that." He comments.
- [11:08 PM] Faerie: ''Drow? Here, on this... region?''
- [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, drows! Gave us magic."
- [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "My horse, for one thing. Gave us demon birds and strength. "
- [11:09 PM] Faerie: (This guy's makin' me feel like shouting!)
- [11:09 PM] Mizuki: "What do you think about that?" - Asked Alicia - "Your brother took a pact for power, instead of seizing it on his own. Doesn't sound like the orcish way of doing things"
- [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, I don't like it either!" Saul complains.
- [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I can't beat him, and that drow princess was too powerful as well."
- [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "So I listen to them, but hey - I got beaten here, so I don't have to continue with that fool's quest."
- [11:10 PM] Faerie: ''Well, I've heard stranger things these past two days. You said you work under Arrow-Breaker? Is that right!''
- [11:10 PM] Faerie: ''Serve, is maybe the word I was thinking of.''
- [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Keep up, man! I am Saul of Arrow-Breaker - the chief, Lucant Arrow-Breaker is my brother."
- [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "He's the strongest of us lot." Saul shrugs. "So had to serve."
- [11:11 PM] Mizuki: (we just got one hell of an ally)
- [11:11 PM] Faerie: This didn't seem like an easy snack to chew on, to Razmik - demonic influeces, and as it turns out it was the drow behind it.
- [11:12 PM] Faerie: ''I thought we had dealt with enough drow for a lifetime, ugh...'' Dissapointed, he confesses.
- [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle huhs. "Drows? I haven't heard of the native elves for a while..."
- [11:13 PM] Faerie: ''Native to the region, you say?'' Raz snaps his fingers, a bit bummed out. ''Do you know where they live, Recelle?''
- [11:13 PM] Mizuki: "Let me ask you, is the princess really dead? If so, who killed her?" - Asked Alicia
- [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Underground." Recelle shrugs. "Not sure where though. We don't see eye to eye."
- [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul shrugs. "The drows agreed to help, on the condition that we kill one named Lyria Falis Weatherlight. Something about wiping out all competitions. So like, my brother did, and they re-animated her. It was rather ghastly, too. I don't know if I like seeing a great warrior like her being desecrated like that."
- [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The dead should just rest." Saul adds.
- [11:15 PM] Faerie: Underground, so just like the ones back home.
- [11:15 PM] Runic: Lexon takes out another bottle of mead and takes a swig, "Brutal"
- [11:15 PM] Faerie: ''Shit.''
- [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, it was like, spiders everywhere crawling into her."
- [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shudders and her skin crawls.
- [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad stares, hard, at Saul. "..."
- [11:16 PM] Mizuki: "Nauseating indeed, we should keep that a secret" - Said Alicia drawing her dagger and freeing the orc
- [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Lips sealed." Illiad adds, overhearing something that he rather not know.
- [11:17 PM] Faerie: ''Alright, we're gonna have to do something about this Saul right here - if Nhari gets a hold of this they're gonna stake his head.'', a notably exasperated Razmik blurts
- [11:17 PM] Mizuki: "Have a drink" - She said taking the bottle from Lexon's hands
- [11:17 PM] Runic: "Uwah!"
- [11:17 PM] Runic: "I already gave him a drink!"
- [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Head? Well." Saul takes a swig. "Look, you have my strength, unless you are going to go and lose to some nutcase drow princess."
- [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'd rather you kill my brother than have him being played puppet."
- [11:18 PM] Faerie: ''Alicia!'' that surprised him, so quick to release him after such a revelation. Gasping, he turns back to Saul. ''Do you really have no desire to follow along with the Drows' folly?''
- [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you want my head, that'd be a terrible waste of a fine orc, wouldn't it be?" Saul shrugs. "Not that I mind - it's just me going back to the dirt faster than others."
- [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Look, fuck the elves." Saul points out.
- [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Present company, erm, excluded."
- [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle stares dagger at Saul.
- [11:19 PM] §upposition: Denalthir, who sat nearby taking all of this in passively, nodded decisively and made to untie him...Until he said "Fuck the elves"
- [11:19 PM] §upposition: Denalthir just stared at him when he said that
- [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean the dark-skinned ones!" Saul proclaims.
- [11:20 PM] §upposition: Denalthir narrows her eyes
- [11:20 PM] §upposition: ...and unties him
- [11:20 PM] Runic: Lexon gives an accepting nod
- [11:20 PM] Faerie: ''This has run its course for long enough. Does Arrow-Breaker not realize he's not doing any of his people a service, fighting this stupid war?''
- [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Already untied, cut free, actually.
- [11:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul shrugs helplessly. "He's drunk with power - the drows are giving him everything he wanted, and his new wife made him killed all his harem mates."
- [11:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I think it's very much against our way, but fuck me if I am going to fight him alone."
- [11:22 PM] Mizuki: "Well, you're not alone anymore" - Smiles Alicia. She feels she can trust this Orc. Maybe she's getting too soft?
- [11:22 PM] Kaperis: (back, sorry~)
- [11:23 PM] Faerie: ''Look, I don't know what kind of Conqueror-tales the spiders have been feeding him, but as far as I know, nobody actually wants to fight for him.'' Thundering, dangerous homeland, lack of space for crops - maybe the orcs fought out of necessity, but Arrow-Breaker clearly didn't.
- [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, well." Saul shrugs. "The drow princess, what was her name... Liliana Falis? She's just playing with us, and ya'll, I think."
- [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But don't take my word for it - go and find my brother, and see for yourself. He's a disgrace."
- [11:24 PM] Faerie: ''What do you think?'' This was so stupid, Razmik was getting tired of it.
- ''Liliana, Faris?''
- [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad's face seems to be drained of color.
- [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... one of the Ninety-Nine's." Illiad explains.
- [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Seems like the war for the throne has started already."
- [11:26 PM] Faerie: Now everything Nhari had said the day before made sense. ''Of course, it had to be a feud. I wish the Princess were here, to see first-hand how petty nobility can be!''
- [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad sighs. "... Yeah, it's clear. Clear that this world's a disgusting place."
- [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle pats Illiad, comforting the mortician.
- [11:28 PM] Faerie: ''At the very least, thanks for being honest, Saul. I'm sure others have questions for you, I need to think that over. '' Razmik turns his back on him and distances himself not quite enough to leave earshot.
- [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Just for the throne... Just for someone so far removed from the throne, a small competitor... She sunk the whole region into war!"
- [11:28 PM] Faerie: God damn, why did they have to deal with this?
- [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Illiad proclaims angrily.
- [11:30 PM] Faerie: Lexon checkup. How much HP is he missing, Runic?
- [11:30 PM] Kaperis: John's... not good with politics. When people talk about them, he usually just pretends like they're extraplanar beings or something.
- [11:31 PM] Kaperis: "Such practices are strange to me," John says.
- [11:31 PM] Faerie: (Politics are easy: First express disbelief at how stupid some people can be, then you get angry at things!)
- [11:31 PM] Mizuki: Alice wasn't there during the explanation so she's feeling as lost as John
- [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, Lyria is the outcast monk princess, Liliana's the bad evil princess who targetted her because she's nearby or useful or something." Recelle explains, badly.
- [11:32 PM] Runic: (I've lost 12 hp, pretty much half)(edited)
- [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The world's likely gonna go into a huge civil war between the Ninety-Nines." Recelle adds.
- [11:32 PM] §upposition: "How silly" Denalthir snides to the side
- [11:32 PM] Faerie: ''Well, it's basically as Illiad says: looking to remove Princess Lyria as a potential heir to the throne, her drow-sister enginereed this whole war.''
- [11:32 PM] Kaperis: "But, ah, wait. Hasn't the king lived for a really long time? He's not dead, so why worry about succession now?"
- [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, the King's immortality magic is failing." Illiad says. "He's got a few months at best, and he refused erm... Lichdom."
- [11:33 PM] Faerie: ''Spot-on, Recelle.'' Razmik beckons to Lexon, and gets appropiately close to Lay On Hands for 7 HP.
- [11:34 PM] Mizuki: "I see..." - Started Alicia - "Killing her own sister, those people are monsters"
- [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is hardly the best spot for politics. But well.
- [11:35 PM] Kaperis: This confirms what John already beleived. He couldn't possibly meet a king or a lich in his lifetime, let alone a dead king!
- [11:35 PM] Kaperis: ... Oh, wait.
- [11:35 PM] Runic: Lexon smiles "Yhanks Razmik" "Feeling better already"
- [11:36 PM] Kaperis: (This shit is pretty routine for Drow, as Denalthir would probably know/beleive.)
- [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "So, what now? We go in deepstrike and take out Saul's brother?" Recelle suggests.
- [11:36 PM] Faerie: ''Man, I'd ask for a drink if we weren't in such a tight spot.'' Patting Lexon's shoulder, he asks ''feeling any more sober now, I hope?''
- [11:37 PM] Mizuki: "There's one thing worrying me though" -Whispered Alicia - "How are we going to pring Saul inside the monastery? What's the plan?"
- [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bleeding and running helps a good bit with the alcohol in your system. You feel just fine, if still a bit tipsy.
- [11:37 PM] Kaperis: (Also remember that the princess was put out here because the King didn't like her. So, the drow princess must be one of the only heirs beneath her in the line of succession. Kek.)
- [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I mean, when her first move is to kill a sister and reanimate her, she's probably not very well-liked by anyone else.)
- [11:39 PM] Faerie: (I dunno about the King not liking her, but yeah, an ascetic's probably way down there on the line for this kind of deal)
- ''That sounds hardly within reason, I feel. We weren't expecting these fields to be primed to receive undead.''
- [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, nobody like the walking dead." Saul says.
- [11:39 PM] Kaperis: (There has literally never been a Drow monarch who people liked. Being likable is considered a quality unfitting for a monarch.)
- [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I agree. It seems we can see eye-to-eye on this matter, orc." Illiad says.
- [11:40 PM] Faerie: ''Just to be sure...'' Razmik gently holds his fingers to the tip of Bloodaxe's handle.
- [11:41 PM] Faerie: ''What do your brethen think of this whole war, Saul? What do they think of your brother as a leader?''
- [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, beside for the fools from Bloodaxe clan..." Saul frowns, muttering softly about Lucien. Seems like despite what he said about Lucient, they had a good relationship. "Most orcs are happy enough with the power and chance to get a piece of land of our own. Fighting feels good, too. Dying sucks, but it's good to be able to fight, you know?"
- [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Against the blizzard and tempest, orcs just die without fighting. At least down here, we spill our blood for us."
- [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Illiad seems a bit silent.
- [11:43 PM] Kaperis: John scratches his head. "Well, erm. You wouldn't necessarily stop fighting when you die, so good for you, I guess."
- [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "People look up to my brother." Saul says. "He's the strongest orc there is. I was cursed a bit, with this power of mine, so I am not as strong as other orcs. I just ... Survive against all odds."
- [11:44 PM] Faerie: ''Axe probably doesn't like hearing that, huh...'', Razmik monologues. The prospect of getting out of this one without shedding more blood seemed direr by the minute.
- [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That's why my brother haven't killed me; we can't kill each other."
- [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Bloodaxe radiates a small emotion of resignation to you, Raz.
- [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that the axe... Agrees with Saul.
- [11:46 PM] Mizuki: Alicia whispers to Raz - "Maybe he should keep the axe. It was his friend that we killed"
- [11:46 PM] Kaperis: (If we give Saul the axe, he might become much stronger. It could create a schism among the orc tribes.)
- [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [11:46 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 19, Result: 19
- [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [11:46 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 5, Result: 5
- [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
- [11:46 PM] Faerie: Blast it. Was he so upset because of Bloodaxe's teachings to Lucien's clan, or were those his thoughts? Razmik didn't care much, for he agreed either way.
- [11:47 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, I've been entertaining the idea since he woke up. Still not really sure which way he, er, swings, so to speak.)
- [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a Wisdom check, Razmik.
- [11:48 PM] Faerie: (Just Wisdom? No skill-related?)
- [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I guess Insight.)
- [11:48 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+3
- [11:48 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 19, Result: 22
- [11:48 PM] Faerie: (Sharp.)
- [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thinking about it, the Bloodaxe would be a good tool to keep Saul in check - it's magical and has sentience, and have Orc's best interest in mind. Not only that, but it's able to have you see into yourself - which means that it can probably detect Saul's hidden desires and like, zap him if he's disagreeable.
- [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's the danger of Saul being so sneaky that he's been hiding his true emotion and is also able to wrestle Bloodaxe's control from the sentient weapon itself.
- [11:50 PM] Kaperis: (Talking OOC because John's not political enough, but... this guy is a better choice if the axe wants to start changing Orcs. They won't listen to a true believer as they are now. This guy's got a strong claim and knows how to fight; Orcs will be willing to follow him.)
- [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Without a mindreader, you can't really say one way or another, but it's a relatively smart bet to let Saul wield the axe and see what happens.
- [11:50 PM] Faerie: (I doubt it, that thing has a fucking impressive sense of self :sadpopo:)
- [11:51 PM] Faerie: After giving Alicia's words some more consideration, Razmik exhales and lets Bloodaxe's blade hit the ground. No matter how you sliced it, he saw himself agreeing with the axe in earnest.
- [11:52 PM] Kaperis: (In human history, having honor in bloodshed has been the starting point for a lot of developed cultures. This guy can totally handle that!)
- [11:52 PM] Faerie: ''Here; hold this and focus inwards for a moment'', offering the orc knight his weapon's handle.
- [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh? The Bloodaxe?" Saul seems puzzled, and does so.
- [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [11:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 74, Result: 74
- [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A second passed. A minute passed. Saul seems frozen, meditating inward.
- [11:53 PM] Kaperis: (Good roll, bad roll?)
- [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... After a moment, he blinks a few times.
- [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... and blurt out. "Alright, yeah, that's one hell of a ride. Dude..." He stares at the Bloodaxe. "No wonder Lucien's like that."
- [11:53 PM] Mizuki: (brainwashed)
- [11:54 PM] §upposition: (Lmaoooo)
- [11:54 PM] Faerie: Razmik felt a bit fidgety, without the axe weighing down on him. A bit more eager to go out there and start looking for a way to fix this mess. ''Hope he didn't find him wanting.''
- [11:54 PM] Mizuki: (SAAAUL!! ;-;)
- [11:54 PM] Faerie: (W E E D)
- [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Shit's better than some of that shaman drug." Saul grins. "I have an idea now."
- [11:55 PM] Mizuki: "You should keep it, Saul." - Suggested Alicia
- [11:55 PM] Kaperis: John frowns profusely. That shaman drug had better not find its way into Windsmere. He's not sure he likes how this is going.
- [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He plants the Bloodaxe, blade-end first, onto the ground below. "I am going to unite the orcs. And cease this stupid shit. Working for the drow's stupid. Fighting with your human like that is stupid. Fighting's fun, but not if all of us are hurting so badly."
- [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Help me." Sauls says, asking for your help. "Help me fight my brother."
- [11:56 PM] Faerie: ''Oh my god, did it do anything to me as well?'', Razmik looks at Alicia, dumbfounded. Now she was gonna think he messed up by trusting it so much!
- [11:56 PM] Faerie: ''Yeah.''
- [11:57 PM] §upposition: Denalthir chuckles, she considers giving the axe another pair of googly eyes for a job well done
- [11:57 PM] Faerie: Bursting into yelling, Razmik exclaims''Yeah. By the Morninglord, that's what I wanted to piking hear!''
- [11:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia seems uneasy - "How did that happen so fast?" - She thought - "I really don't trust that axe..."
- [11:58 PM] Runic: "Let's do it!"
- [11:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sighs
- [11:58 PM] §upposition: Instead, she cleans it a bit with magic and grins silently
- [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura lightly nuzzles Alicia.
- [11:58 PM] Kaperis: "Is that allowed?" John asks. "Getting help from us humans and elves, I mean."
- [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul ponders for a moment.
- [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Probably not. But look - my brother's getting help from drows."
- [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am breaking the rule to make him stop breaking the rules. Seems good to me."
- [11:59 PM] Faerie: To the bin with Alicia thought of it - it was wash. The axe just nudged people into the right direcion, and was damn good at it, to boot!
- [11:59 PM] Mizuki: (I gotta head to bed now)
- [11:59 PM] Kaperis: John blinks. That doesn't make any sense to him at all!
- [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :sadpopo: )
- [11:59 PM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
- October 28, 2016
- [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now, exp... 240; 140 from Saul, 100 from advancing the plot.
- [12:01 AM] Kaperis: "Well, ahhh... All right. If you're sure."
- [12:01 AM] Faerie: ''I'm getting the feeling it's either that, or we keep this puppet performance up until everyone in this whole region is lying face down on the floor, spiders crawiling into us all.''(edited)
- [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Saul shrugs. "Fuck the el- erm..."
- [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Dark elves."
- [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle stares dagger at Saul.
- [12:02 AM] §upposition: Denalthir narrows her eyes
- [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... You have... Completed your scouting mission, with flying marks, but Nhari might not be glad about this news at all.
- [12:02 AM] Faerie: (2630 total exp, holy crackers. Kind of adding up fast, I thought Level 4'd take forever!)
- [12:03 AM] Faerie: (I'd say with flying fucking carpets)
- [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There's been 9 game sessions; normally that's 2 or 3 months)
- [12:03 AM] Faerie: (Oh geez :firepopo:)
- [12:03 AM] Mizuki: (well, nighty everyone!
- [12:03 AM] Kaperis: (We play a lot~)
- [12:03 AM] Kaperis: (Night!)
- [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Night Mizu!)
- [12:03 AM] Faerie: (Good night)
- [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Granted, the sessions are shorter overall)
- [12:03 AM] §upposition: (TFW 70 XP FROM LEVEL 4)
- [12:03 AM] §upposition: (POGCHAMP)
- [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( (ditto) )
