Nov 02 2017[17:34:51] <~DM> The last we left our erstwhile Lampguard, twas dark on the eve of the 23rd of Thaw, a Heimerus, nearing the midnight hour when the day belongs to Haeron at the end of the week. You stand in a rough ring atop a grassy hill, east of the dark and foul lake which you've come to know all too well.
Nov 02 2017[17:36:32] <~DM> You have just dispatched two vampires into misty forms of shadow, and sent them fleeing over hill and through wood back to their master, away in the east. You cannot now see Blacklake or its brooding fortress, but you can see the little towns along the lake's northern shore, the few lights still burning at this late and ungodly hour being extinguished one by one.
Nov 02 2017[17:36:35] <~DM> ***
Nov 02 2017[17:37:41] <Aurelien> "So. With all that in mind... Do we continue on to the tomb, or give them time to scramble?"
Nov 02 2017[17:40:33] <~DM> A chill wind whips along the top of the hill. Somewhere back in the swamps you can hear a nightbird calling out its long, strange, high screech.
Nov 02 2017[17:41:20] <Jaq> "Best we move when we have the highest chance. This information won't be good forever."
Nov 02 2017[17:41:50] <Kurja> "I'm of a mind to take the fight to them with this new information. If we go to the tomb, that will give Severus more time to build his lackeys."
Nov 02 2017[17:42:55] <Aurelien> "It'll be difficult, no matter what we do, but I think we may stand the most chance." It takes a day per spell level for us to learn a spell taught by another mage, DAM?
Nov 02 2017[17:42:58] <Aurelien> DM*
06Nov 02 2017[17:43:09] * Umbravo taps his pipe in his palm anxiously
Nov 02 2017[17:43:10] <~DM> The Strand rangers gather near the foot of the hill, and Jaq's lean, lanky mountain cat prowls in the gray-black night.
Nov 02 2017[17:43:11] <~DM> Aye
Nov 02 2017[17:43:58] <Aurelien> "How many times could you cast that laughing spell if you had to, Kurja?"
Nov 02 2017[17:46:09] <Kurja> "If I can get some time to meditate, then twice. I feel my mind broadening, but I will need rest to complete any epiphanies."
Nov 02 2017[17:47:09] <~DM> ELVES, thinks Aurelien angrily
Nov 02 2017[17:47:14] <Aurelien> I sort of crinkle my face in good humor at these turns of phrase. "Hell of a time for that."
Nov 02 2017[17:47:36] <Aurelien> "But I'll take your word for it."
Nov 02 2017[17:47:39] <Kurja> "Yeah."
Nov 02 2017[17:49:01] <Aurelien> Well, we are gonna have to get on the move. Is there a less conspicuous dry place to camp?
Nov 02 2017[17:49:16] <~DM> There are the bases of the hills, if you'd like to try to lose sight of the lake.
Nov 02 2017[17:50:02] <Kurja> Let's do that.
Nov 02 2017[17:51:03] <~DM> I will allow frank to come back with food before enacting anything just yet
Nov 02 2017[17:51:08] <~DM> But that will be tentatively the plan
Nov 02 2017[17:51:12] <Aurelien> Sounds good to me
Nov 02 2017[17:51:14] <Kurja> Alright
Nov 02 2017[17:51:20] <Jaq> I'm gonna go down and explain to my rangers that we found some primo information
Nov 02 2017[17:51:29] <Jaq> stuff that gives us the best chance we'll get
Nov 02 2017[17:51:36] <Jaq> but we will have to camp for a bit
Nov 02 2017[17:54:07] <Quintis> Back
Nov 02 2017[17:54:33] <Aurelien> Wb
01Nov 02 2017[17:57:53] <Umbravo> man
Nov 02 2017[17:57:59] <Kurja> So we campin or what?
01Nov 02 2017[17:58:11] <Umbravo> We still only have magic weapons for me, jaq, and quintis right?
Nov 02 2017[17:58:20] <Quintis> "Then nothing left to say, let's prepare as we must and get going."
Nov 02 2017[17:58:29] <Aurelien> We gotta rest bruh
Nov 02 2017[17:58:33] <Aurelien> It's night time
Nov 02 2017[17:58:47] <Quintis> I guess that'd be the 'prepare as we must'
01Nov 02 2017[17:59:18] <Umbravo> We're contemplating moving to behind the base of one of these hills nearby to lose direct line of sight with the castle
01Nov 02 2017[17:59:36] <Umbravo> and not be in as much rain
Nov 02 2017[17:59:43] <Quintis> Is there a better spot?
Nov 02 2017[18:00:00] <Aurelien> There's a dry place at the base of the hill
01Nov 02 2017[18:00:04] <Umbravo> We don't know of any caves or anything nearby
01Nov 02 2017[18:00:12] <Umbravo> just, yeah taht
Nov 02 2017[18:00:14] <Aurelien> So we aren't quite as exposed
Nov 02 2017[18:00:16] <~DM> It is extremely dark, so to find a better spot, if there is one, you will have to send out scouts
Nov 02 2017[18:00:25] <Quintis> Sounds like contemplation is ovah
Nov 02 2017[18:00:56] <Quintis> We go to the dry place at the base of the hill
Nov 02 2017[18:01:05] <~DM> Alright. You set up your tents in the crook of the hill. Setting a watch?
Nov 02 2017[18:01:18] <Jaq> definitely
Nov 02 2017[18:01:29] <~DM> Watch order?
Nov 02 2017[18:02:30] <Quintis> I assume we can set henchmen up for this task so that's on Jaq I presume
Nov 02 2017[18:02:53] <~DM> Aye
Nov 02 2017[18:02:54] <Aurelien> They are all but men and can't see in the dark
Nov 02 2017[18:03:00] <Aurelien> So that's a thing, but yeah
Nov 02 2017[18:03:40] <Aurelien> Maybe have Kurja join the first watch and I'll join the second since he has legit infravision and I have good night sight?
Nov 02 2017[18:03:54] <Quintis> Sounds fine to me
Nov 02 2017[18:03:55] <Kurja> Alright, I'll join the first watch
Nov 02 2017[18:04:10] <Jaq> how many shifts do we wanna do?
01Nov 02 2017[18:04:25] <Umbravo> Wizbiz need to sleep 8 hours in a row though right?
Nov 02 2017[18:04:27] <Quintis> 4? 2 hours each?
1Nov 02 2017[18:04:34] <Umbravo> So wiz shouldn't split their sleeptime like that
Nov 02 2017[18:04:40] <Quintis> Also true
Nov 02 2017[18:04:42] <~DM> As long as they rest 8 hours
Nov 02 2017[18:04:46] <~DM> It doesn't matter if it is continuous
01Nov 02 2017[18:04:50] <Umbravo> Oh it doesn't matter? ok nm then
Nov 02 2017[18:04:51] <Quintis> oooho
01Nov 02 2017[18:05:03] <Umbravo> I'll sit 3rd watch with whoever
Nov 02 2017[18:05:03] <Quintis> Did not realize
Nov 02 2017[18:05:19] <~DM> As long as it is good enough to qualify as well rested
Nov 02 2017[18:05:23] <Jaq> Then cyril and kurja, arnaud and aurelien, matthieu and umbravo, benjamin and me?
Nov 02 2017[18:05:27] <~DM> OK
Nov 02 2017[18:06:06] <Aurelien> The question now is
Nov 02 2017[18:06:14] <Aurelien> On which watch does the flood of vampires come
Nov 02 2017[18:07:04] <~DM> There are no disturbances in the night. The sun rises blearily on the 24th, a Heirus, and as it does you can see its rays shoot through a maple along the gully some ways from you toward Blacklake. This tree is laden with buds of green, and beneath them, near the crotch of the branches where they are stout and mighty, there depend ten heavy ropes, each rope ending in the snapped neck and bloodied body of an outlaw, bandit, or highwayman.
Nov 02 2017[18:07:22] <~DM> These grisly trophies make faint noises in the breeze, knocking against the wood and each other, the ropes creaking.
01Nov 02 2017[18:07:37] <Umbravo> lol
01Nov 02 2017[18:07:42] <Umbravo> Great place to sleep
Nov 02 2017[18:08:52] <Jaq> yay
Nov 02 2017[18:08:53] <Quintis> I get up to make my morning prayer and get my armor on
Nov 02 2017[18:08:57] <Kurja> Ok, There is SUNLIGHT?
Nov 02 2017[18:09:13] <Quintis> Seems so, yessir
Nov 02 2017[18:09:19] <~DM> Aye
Nov 02 2017[18:10:39] <~DM> Alright, Quintis kneels and holds his palms up toward the heavens, face bathed in morning sun, lips moving silently, eyes closed.
Nov 02 2017[18:10:48] <~DM> Then he begins to dress in his glimmering gold scale.
Nov 02 2017[18:10:55] <Kurja> I already have Phantasmal Force memorized, I will also memorize Uncanny Step, and Gaze Reflection, and then Severus' Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter x2
Nov 02 2017[18:11:15] <Jaq> Sophie will change her spells too
Nov 02 2017[18:11:15] <Aurelien> Awesome.
Nov 02 2017[18:11:17] <Jaq> one sec
Nov 02 2017[18:11:21] <Kurja> Hope my lineup is good
Nov 02 2017[18:11:40] <Aurelien> I'll refresh my Magic Missiles and Gaze Reflection. Viridia will refresh her Protection from Evil
Nov 02 2017[18:12:18] <~DM> Viridia looks grim, her prematurely weathered face set in a frown that makes her mouth look like a fresh slash carved on her features.
Nov 02 2017[18:12:53] <Quintis> Only one I'd consider changing, Kurja, if I might comment, if PF, but you've made awesome use of it before so... iunno
Nov 02 2017[18:12:56] <~DM> The stranders gird themselves slowly, moving half-dazed as though in a dream. Cyril alone looks sharp-eyed.
Nov 02 2017[18:13:25] <Kurja> Let's discuss strategy, my uncanny step allows an AC of 4 vs. unarmed attacks like vampurs do, and lasts for 24 hours, should I cast it on myself or on someone else?
Nov 02 2017[18:13:26] <Aurelien> Ok I gotta do some stuff here at work
Nov 02 2017[18:13:47] <~DM> He comments bleakly, "Thirty or so rods betwixt here and the keep, I wager."
Nov 02 2017[18:14:11] <Kurja> ETA, Aurelien?
Nov 02 2017[18:14:21] <Quintis> I would put that spell on... Jaq probably
Nov 02 2017[18:14:38] <Quintis> Since the armor protects me, and she is the next likely fighter to step in
Nov 02 2017[18:15:09] <Kurja> And it's not just ANY magic armor that protects someone from a vampire, is it?
Nov 02 2017[18:15:14] <Kurja> Yours is special
Nov 02 2017[18:15:18] <Quintis> "Let's waste no time then, ride hard but save strength for the castle itself, this will be far from easy."
Nov 02 2017[18:15:18] <Aurelien> Hum like 15-20 minute probably
Nov 02 2017[18:15:19] <Quintis> Correct
01Nov 02 2017[18:15:23] <Umbravo> That's right
Nov 02 2017[18:15:23] <Quintis> Special Avauna Armor
Nov 02 2017[18:15:28] <Kurja> Alright.
Nov 02 2017[18:15:31] <Kurja> THat's what I thought
01Nov 02 2017[18:15:31] <Umbravo> His is special negative plane protect armor
Nov 02 2017[18:16:24] <Kurja> I will approach Jaq and tell her, "I have a spell that will increase your armor against a vampire's barehanded attack. May I cast it on you?"
Nov 02 2017[18:16:54] <~DM> Cyril hooks his hand into his sword-girdle and puts a foot up on a stone. "You've a mount, but we go afoot... And at our own speed, we'd probably not reach the walls until tomorrow morn. Can we count on the Goddess for light that long?"
01Nov 02 2017[18:16:56] <Umbravo> It lasts for a day, was it?
Nov 02 2017[18:17:09] <Kurja> "It lasts for a day."
Nov 02 2017[18:17:09] <Kurja> Yes
Nov 02 2017[18:17:23] <~DM> brb a sec while you plan
Nov 02 2017[18:18:03] <Quintis> This is a good time for someone to bring back up that intel from the session ages ago
Nov 02 2017[18:18:20] <Quintis> I think I saved it but in a notepad but might have lost it to a system restart because I'm an asshead and didn't save
Nov 02 2017[18:18:52] <Kurja> Aziz, light!
Nov 02 2017[18:18:57] <Quintis> <~DM> "There are three great towers on the outwall, and another within to make the inner gatehouse. The poor scribe, Turial, sleeps with the Lord's anointed ladies, Cordelia and Ophelia, in the lesser hall.
Nov 02 2017[18:18:57] <Quintis> <~DM> "But his Lordship, Simplicius Novice, and now Great Master Endreth of Essad all sleep beneath the grand hall. He has set three of our number, all in fine plate, to guard them while they sleep."
Nov 02 2017[18:18:57] <Quintis> <~DM> "Sieur Irius dwells in his own tower, a retreat. The lord keeps a library in the north-western tower, but we are not permitted entry."
Nov 02 2017[18:19:28] <Jaq> Kurja - "Perhaps save it until we are closer, so it lasts into the night as well."
Nov 02 2017[18:19:46] <Kurja> "As you so wish."
01Nov 02 2017[18:20:03] <Umbravo> That was a good idea
Nov 02 2017[18:20:28] <Quintis> "Three vampires in the lesser hall. Five in the grand hall. One in his own tower, and the grand leech himself in the library, in the north-west tower. Ten vampires."
Nov 02 2017[18:21:36] <Jaq> "Sieur Irius should be in recovery for a short time, at least."
06Nov 02 2017[18:21:40] * Kurja pinches the bridge of his nose, then quietly packs his swan-pipe.
Nov 02 2017[18:22:22] <Quintis> "We do this all in one day. Our strength is the sunlight and Aurelien's magic. Avoid their touch at all costs. And he will likely be resting then, Sieur Irius. They rest in their mounds during the day."
Nov 02 2017[18:22:59] <Kurja> I'm thinking about switching out Gaze Reflection for Mystic Mirrors
Nov 02 2017[18:23:07] <Quintis> THAT
Nov 02 2017[18:23:09] <Quintis> might be
Nov 02 2017[18:23:12] <Quintis> fuckin' ballin'
Nov 02 2017[18:23:14] <~DM> You can hear larksong somewhere nearby. It's strange, almost out of place here, amongst the horror that is creeping over your hearts.
Nov 02 2017[18:23:17] <Kurja> I wanna do that
01Nov 02 2017[18:23:19] <Umbravo> How many mirrors can it move? 4?
Nov 02 2017[18:23:20] <Kurja> if that's alright
Nov 02 2017[18:23:30] <Kurja> Lemme check
Nov 02 2017[18:23:31] <~DM> Sure, you haven't gotten moving for the day
01Nov 02 2017[18:23:33] <Umbravo> Shooting a beam of sunlight into their nest would be baller
Nov 02 2017[18:23:33] <~DM> You can swap
Nov 02 2017[18:23:47] <Quintis> Oh man, like, surprise beam of sunlight, that would be great
01Nov 02 2017[18:23:54] <Umbravo> Surprise round sunlight
Nov 02 2017[18:23:59] <Quintis> I am amped, even to see it work once
Nov 02 2017[18:24:01] <Jaq> sounds gr8
01Nov 02 2017[18:24:23] <Umbravo> we need to invent the mirrorball so I can hold it up and bounce a beam of light in every direction
Nov 02 2017[18:24:54] <Quintis> lol :V
Nov 02 2017[18:25:17] <Quintis> also invent thumping bass
Nov 02 2017[18:26:09] <Kurja> Well, I believe I only have three mirrors so I can only do it as third level, which means thirty square feet of sunlight and projected ninety yards
Nov 02 2017[18:26:32] <Quintis> Even still, can do some wicked stuff I bet
Nov 02 2017[18:26:36] <Kurja> If I had a fourth mirror it would be 100 yards and 40 square feet
01Nov 02 2017[18:26:47] <Umbravo> You could have one of us hold a mirror up
01Nov 02 2017[18:26:50] <Umbravo> and bounce it off that
Nov 02 2017[18:26:59] <Quintis> I imagine the spell balances it better
01Nov 02 2017[18:27:03] <Umbravo> probably
Nov 02 2017[18:27:10] <Quintis> Without needing two brains to now arrange the light, it is done by one
Nov 02 2017[18:27:17] <Kurja> The mirror has to be a special silvered mirror worth a certain amount
Nov 02 2017[18:27:33] <Quintis> And we brought some with us
01Nov 02 2017[18:27:34] <Umbravo> I thought I got one of them? Huh maybe I just have a normal mirror
Nov 02 2017[18:27:45] <Kurja> I dunno if you did
Nov 02 2017[18:27:48] <Kurja> You should know
Nov 02 2017[18:27:50] <Kurja> I have three
Nov 02 2017[18:27:59] <Kurja> They are worth 150 gp each
Nov 02 2017[18:28:04] <Quintis> There is 1 that is from Ithonwe
Nov 02 2017[18:28:12] <Quintis> I don't know if that's one of those 3
Nov 02 2017[18:28:33] <Quintis> If those 3 are from a different arrangement then we know we have 4, otherwise it's the 3 Kurja has
Nov 02 2017[18:28:58] <Kurja> Alright, then we have 4
Nov 02 2017[18:29:03] <Kurja> I think
Nov 02 2017[18:29:13] <Quintis> Shh, it's four now :V
Nov 02 2017[18:29:19] <Kurja> Alright
Nov 02 2017[18:29:20] <Quintis> DM is gonna make them all shatter in a minute though
Nov 02 2017[18:29:21] <Kurja> lol
01Nov 02 2017[18:29:23] <Umbravo> Kurja's box of light
Nov 02 2017[18:29:25] <~DM> haha
01Nov 02 2017[18:29:29] <Umbravo> I FORGOT THE TOP AGAIN, DAMNIT
Nov 02 2017[18:29:37] <Kurja> They're gonna shatter when I get attacked
Nov 02 2017[18:29:45] <Kurja> Or rather, dented up and unusable
01Nov 02 2017[18:29:46] <Umbravo> nah they're silver, not glass
01Nov 02 2017[18:29:47] <Umbravo> yeah
Nov 02 2017[18:29:53] <Kurja> Not shattered, as they are bronze on silver
Nov 02 2017[18:29:56] <Quintis> So let's figure out the general move we want to do
Nov 02 2017[18:30:09] <Quintis> Just ballparking here but, the lesser hall
Nov 02 2017[18:30:12] <Quintis> the grand hall
Nov 02 2017[18:30:21] <Kurja> but the spell specifies if I am attacked or just abruptly end the spell they crash and become unusable
Nov 02 2017[18:30:28] <Quintis> Ireus and then The Big Bone Daddy Himself
Nov 02 2017[18:30:31] <Kurja> otherwise I can lower them
Nov 02 2017[18:30:39] <Quintis> You won't get attacked
Nov 02 2017[18:30:40] <Quintis> I'
Nov 02 2017[18:30:47] <Quintis> ll be between you and them for sure
Nov 02 2017[18:31:17] <Quintis> And Aurelien will be dealing deep blows, the sunlight just is the coup de grace though it does damage too
Nov 02 2017[18:31:22] <Quintis> It's just, it can be the finisher
Nov 02 2017[18:31:46] <Quintis> Spare us from digging up a whole crossroad
Nov 02 2017[18:31:57] <Kurja> I'm going to use phantasmal force to create a dome of running water
01Nov 02 2017[18:31:58] <Umbravo> lol
01Nov 02 2017[18:32:06] <Umbravo> The head of the other guy survived sunlight though
Nov 02 2017[18:32:08] <Kurja> like how I want my spell to be modified
Nov 02 2017[18:32:17] <Quintis> Oh you right
Nov 02 2017[18:32:23] <Quintis> I guess we dig anyhow
Nov 02 2017[18:32:33] <Quintis> Still, sun sure did work, eh!
01Nov 02 2017[18:32:39] <Umbravo> It did
01Nov 02 2017[18:33:25] <Umbravo> Kurj: if we fight indoors the tunnel of water you made can probably butt up against the ceiling, to be fair
01Nov 02 2017[18:33:44] <Umbravo> Also I guess we aren't using that spell again, but we could've fucking PUSHED THEM into the water
01Nov 02 2017[18:33:47] <Umbravo> AFter hitting them in melee
01Nov 02 2017[18:33:49] <Umbravo> I forgot that rule
Nov 02 2017[18:33:55] <Kurja> Yeah but I don't have the component, a ton of water
01Nov 02 2017[18:34:03] <Umbravo> yeah you do
01Nov 02 2017[18:34:07] <Umbravo> I had like 2
Nov 02 2017[18:34:14] <Kurja> I guess I do then
01Nov 02 2017[18:34:16] <Umbravo> And you just need to refill them anyway
Nov 02 2017[18:34:30] <Kurja> Maybe I should memorize it instead of phantasmal force
Nov 02 2017[18:34:34] <Quintis> Well you just volunteered to carry a whole tonne of water
01Nov 02 2017[18:34:39] <Umbravo> lol
Nov 02 2017[18:34:45] <Kurja> lol
01Nov 02 2017[18:34:46] <Umbravo> That's a good point, we can't TAKE that tonne into a b uilding
1Nov 02 2017[18:34:56] <Umbravo> I didn't realize it used the entire giant barrel
Nov 02 2017[18:34:58] <Kurja> PF it is decided
Nov 02 2017[18:35:16] <Quintis> I mean we now DO have enough manpower to waste
Nov 02 2017[18:35:33] <Quintis> And no sense in people just launching at the vampires to kill themselves through memory and soul loss
01Nov 02 2017[18:35:44] <Umbravo> true
01Nov 02 2017[18:35:57] <Umbravo> I figured the rangers would help us fend off the brainwashed guys
01Nov 02 2017[18:36:07] <Umbravo> so quintis doesn't upset avauna by attacking them
Nov 02 2017[18:36:45] <Quintis> upset feels like an understatement but sure
Nov 02 2017[18:39:13] <Aurelien> Actually
Nov 02 2017[18:39:22] <Aurelien> I can uh... Cast Item
Nov 02 2017[18:39:25] <Aurelien> On a barrel of water
01Nov 02 2017[18:39:34] <Umbravo> lol
01Nov 02 2017[18:39:40] <Umbravo> Seems like a waste of a high level spell
Nov 02 2017[18:39:44] <Aurelien> So we could hurl it as a missile weapon and biggify it
01Nov 02 2017[18:39:47] <Umbravo> Is that permanent?
01Nov 02 2017[18:39:49] <Umbravo> oh
01Nov 02 2017[18:39:51] <Umbravo> THAT sounds
Nov 02 2017[18:39:52] <Aurelien> Mid flight
01Nov 02 2017[18:39:53] <Umbravo> like a great idea
Nov 02 2017[18:39:57] <Aurelien> It lasts for days at a time
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:01] <Umbravo> Can we take the top off it while it's small?
Nov 02 2017[18:40:06] <Aurelien> Yeah
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:11] <Umbravo> baller
Nov 02 2017[18:40:13] <Aurelien> Well no
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:16] <Umbravo> oh
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:22] <Umbravo> We could SHRINK it with the top off?
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:30] <Umbravo> because it becomes like, a toy when shrunk right?
Nov 02 2017[18:40:37] <Aurelien>  But we can take the top off, I can turn it into a little scrap of cloth and tie that to a rock or an arrow
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:41] <Umbravo> Yeah
Nov 02 2017[18:40:41] <Aurelien> Yep
01Nov 02 2017[18:40:48] <Umbravo> let's do it
Nov 02 2017[18:41:03] <Quintis> Wait what
01Nov 02 2017[18:41:06] <Umbravo> And if it doesn't hurt them it'll still be awesome
1Nov 02 2017[18:41:13] <Umbravo> :V
Nov 02 2017[18:41:24] <Quintis> That's a bad notion to work from, this time
Nov 02 2017[18:41:34] <Aurelien> I can use Item to shrink a tun of water so we can carry it indoors
Nov 02 2017[18:41:43] <Aurelien> And Kurja can still use his rushing water spell
Nov 02 2017[18:41:56] <Aurelien> And we can also use an entire tun of water as a missile weapon
Nov 02 2017[18:42:00] <Aurelien> Ostensibly

Nov 02 2017[18:49:42] <~DM> lol Garavus missed those
Nov 02 2017[18:49:45] <~DM> critical instructions
01Nov 02 2017[18:50:08] <Umbravo> So we're throwing cloth toys at them, got it
Nov 02 2017[18:50:35] <Aurelien> Lol
01Nov 02 2017[18:50:37] <Umbravo> Last line I saw was aurelien saying ostensibly about the tun of water
Nov 02 2017[18:50:42] <Aurelien> Ok
Nov 02 2017[18:51:05] <Aurelien> I actually shrunk it and gave it to you, gave you the command word and told you not to hold it or wear it as a hat when you say the word
Nov 02 2017[18:51:09] <Aurelien> Or you will die
Nov 02 2017[18:51:22] <Aurelien> But you can feel free to stuff it in someone's mouth and say the word
Nov 02 2017[18:51:33] <Aurelien> I feel like that could hurt a vampire
Nov 02 2017[18:52:46] <Aurelien> "So. When we get there, assuming there's daylight and they're napping... What's our first move, Quintis? Tell me Avauna has inspired you."
Nov 02 2017[18:53:03] <Quintis> Thank god D&D doesn't use a sanity function
Nov 02 2017[18:53:20] <Aurelien> Haha, why so?
Nov 02 2017[18:53:45] <~DM> Probably seeing a man
Nov 02 2017[18:53:47] <~DM> be torn open
Nov 02 2017[18:53:48] <Quintis> "Ride in and methodically kill them all, but I can't tell you that idea is from Avauna. She gave us sunlight, that will have to do."
Nov 02 2017[18:53:49] <~DM> from the jaw down
Nov 02 2017[18:53:49] <Quintis> Yes
Nov 02 2017[18:53:51] <Quintis> Yes
01Nov 02 2017[18:53:52] <Umbravo> He's afraid of seeing a vampire's head explode from a tun of water
Nov 02 2017[18:53:52] <~DM> by a water barrel
Nov 02 2017[18:53:55] <Quintis> Correct
Nov 02 2017[18:54:00] <Aurelien> Lol
Nov 02 2017[18:54:06] <Kurja> lol
Nov 02 2017[18:54:18] <Aurelien> "Well then, let's make use of her gift."
Nov 02 2017[18:54:22] <Aurelien> And we fuckin ride
Nov 02 2017[18:54:27] <Aurelien> 'ride'
Nov 02 2017[18:54:38] <~DM> Alright. No smallfolk with you, right?
01Nov 02 2017[18:54:41] <Umbravo> Right
Nov 02 2017[18:54:57] <Quintis> None
Nov 02 2017[18:55:00] <Quintis> fuck 'em
Nov 02 2017[18:55:05] <Quintis> We left 'em behind
Nov 02 2017[18:55:07] <~DM> Ok, so you can cover uh
Nov 02 2017[18:55:46] <~DM> 30 miles
Nov 02 2017[18:55:47] <~DM> at a forced march
Nov 02 2017[18:55:50] <~DM> over the course of the day
Nov 02 2017[18:55:54] <~DM> Which, if Cyril is correct
Nov 02 2017[18:56:00] <~DM> Will get you to Blacklake at dusk
Nov 02 2017[18:56:02] <~DM> or gloaming
01Nov 02 2017[18:56:05] <Umbravo> Bah
01Nov 02 2017[18:56:22] <Umbravo> I move at 14. Want me to rush ahead a couple of rods and get there during day?
Nov 02 2017[18:56:24] <Aurelien> Fuuuck
Nov 02 2017[18:56:40] <Aurelien> To do what, try and stake everyone by yourself?
01Nov 02 2017[18:56:46] <Umbravo> yeah
Nov 02 2017[18:56:55] <Aurelien> I don't know if they'll be comatose man
01Nov 02 2017[18:57:01] <Umbravo> Me either
Nov 02 2017[18:57:11] <Aurelien> You just want all the xp
01Nov 02 2017[18:57:12] <Umbravo> Irius might, this is the day after he smoked out to run from us right? He might be like the other guy who did that
01Nov 02 2017[18:57:13] <Umbravo> lol
Nov 02 2017[18:57:20] <Quintis> I was about to say
Nov 02 2017[18:57:22] <Quintis> Irius
Nov 02 2017[18:57:31] <~DM> Quintis has Corafon, who moves at 18
01Nov 02 2017[18:57:35] <Umbravo> that is fast
Nov 02 2017[18:57:37] <~DM> He can ride
Nov 02 2017[18:57:38] <~DM> 45 miles
Nov 02 2017[18:57:42] <~DM> At a forced march
Nov 02 2017[18:57:48] <~DM> er
Nov 02 2017[18:57:49] <~DM> rods
01Nov 02 2017[18:58:12] <Umbravo> Can corafon carry two?
Nov 02 2017[18:58:30] <Aurelien> Any chance we could horses from a village or something on the way and help our chances?
Nov 02 2017[18:58:33] <~DM> Not on a march
Nov 02 2017[18:58:39] <~DM> You don't know
Nov 02 2017[18:59:11] <Aurelien> Hm. Well, I think we should see if we can and if not we should maybe hold off an additional day
Nov 02 2017[18:59:22] <Aurelien> Cause going in there at night will be a death sentence
01Nov 02 2017[18:59:32] <Umbravo> we're halfway between archet and blacklake roughly right?
Nov 02 2017[18:59:34] <Quintis> But that night
01Nov 02 2017[18:59:43] <Umbravo> Like a dozen rods west of the big road
01Nov 02 2017[19:00:05] <Umbravo> Oh no we're uh, over closer to the lake
Nov 02 2017[19:00:05] <Aurelien> Rather fight em out in the open where I can blow them up than in tight quarters in their own house
Nov 02 2017[19:00:32] <Aurelien> Yknow?
Nov 02 2017[19:00:50] <Aurelien> Unless Avauna is gonna light up the night for us
01Nov 02 2017[19:01:12] <Umbravo> take back the night
Nov 02 2017[19:01:19] <Quintis> I'm just trying to figure out if I want to ride ahead
Nov 02 2017[19:01:22] <Aurelien> I think what we ought to do is approach as much as we can, see if we are gonna be able to get horses and maybe get there with some sun in the sky
Nov 02 2017[19:01:23] <Quintis> and try to get Irius
01Nov 02 2017[19:01:38] <Umbravo> Irius sleeps in his own chambers, so I could sneak in and stake him if he doesn't have a guard
Nov 02 2017[19:01:39] <Aurelien> Or hide out as nearby as we can and make an assault the next day
Nov 02 2017[19:01:47] <Aurelien> If you wanna do that, Q
Nov 02 2017[19:01:53] <Quintis> It's just
Nov 02 2017[19:01:53] <Aurelien> I'll help you in whatever way I can dawg
01Nov 02 2017[19:02:03] <Umbravo> And then run away and try to meet you guys again
01Nov 02 2017[19:02:05] <Umbravo> outside town
Nov 02 2017[19:02:09] <Quintis> there is no promise of sun tomorrow, or more likely, no promise Severus won't just make it dark as fuq
Nov 02 2017[19:02:29] <Quintis> Wait, DM, can I ride 18 with Garavus?
01Nov 02 2017[19:02:32] <Umbravo> no
Nov 02 2017[19:02:37] <Quintis> Well then
Nov 02 2017[19:02:39] <~DM> You can ride 18 with him, yes
Nov 02 2017[19:02:40] <Aurelien> Brb
01Nov 02 2017[19:02:41] <Umbravo> oh
01Nov 02 2017[19:02:41] <Umbravo> 18
Nov 02 2017[19:02:42] <Quintis> Oho
Nov 02 2017[19:02:43] <~DM> But not
Nov 02 2017[19:02:44] <~DM> 45
Nov 02 2017[19:02:59] <~DM> I mean, you could concievably do 45 but it would be like
Nov 02 2017[19:03:00] <~DM> the death push
01Nov 02 2017[19:03:05] <Umbravo> rip your horse
Nov 02 2017[19:03:07] <~DM> I doubt risking killing Corafon is
Nov 02 2017[19:03:09] <Quintis> Yeah
Nov 02 2017[19:03:14] <Quintis> Not the best idea
Nov 02 2017[19:03:15] <~DM> yeah something you would consider
Nov 02 2017[19:03:27] <Quintis> Not for such a weak hail mary
Nov 02 2017[19:03:31] <Quintis> 1 vampire for 1 holy steed
Nov 02 2017[19:03:32] <Quintis> Nah
01Nov 02 2017[19:03:59] <Umbravo> so if I run by myself I can get there a little earlier than we would otherwise, might be enough time to sneak in
Nov 02 2017[19:04:03] <~DM> Garavus could concievably move at 32 rods a day
01Nov 02 2017[19:04:04] <Umbravo> What I fear is that it's not enough time to get out
Nov 02 2017[19:04:05] <~DM> Which would mean uh
Nov 02 2017[19:04:11] <~DM> 2.66 rods an hour
Nov 02 2017[19:04:23] <~DM> And since it is about prime
Nov 02 2017[19:05:30] <Quintis> Well, up to you Garavus if you wanna risk going ahead
Nov 02 2017[19:05:38] <~DM> It'd take him 10 hours
Nov 02 2017[19:05:43] <Quintis> Oh
Nov 02 2017[19:05:46] <~DM> So it'd be
Nov 02 2017[19:05:49] <~DM> an hour before dusk
Nov 02 2017[19:05:51] <~DM> When he arrives
Nov 02 2017[19:05:55] <~DM> IF he isn't delayed
Nov 02 2017[19:05:56] <Kurja> Let's just look for horses and wait a day
Nov 02 2017[19:05:57] <~DM> at all on the route
Nov 02 2017[19:05:58] <Aurelien> Power hour
01Nov 02 2017[19:06:04] <Umbravo> If you invis me
Nov 02 2017[19:06:12] <Aurelien> I think we have to look for horses and or wait a day
Nov 02 2017[19:06:18] <Quintis> I think it needs to be invis to undead
Nov 02 2017[19:06:24] <Aurelien> Nah I proved it
01Nov 02 2017[19:06:24] <Umbravo> I think invis works against everything
Nov 02 2017[19:06:26] <Aurelien> Earlier
01Nov 02 2017[19:06:27] <Umbravo> invis to undead is level 1
Nov 02 2017[19:06:29] <Quintis> Ohhh
Nov 02 2017[19:06:37] <Aurelien> When I ambushed that dude with missile fire
Nov 02 2017[19:06:39] <Kurja> Good magic testin bro
Nov 02 2017[19:06:39] <Quintis> Oh right
Nov 02 2017[19:06:41] <~DM> Invisibility works against everything that
Nov 02 2017[19:06:44] <~DM> illusions work on
Nov 02 2017[19:06:52] <~DM> Whatever that limit is
Nov 02 2017[19:07:00] <Kurja> And as we know, illusions work on vampires
01Nov 02 2017[19:07:04] <Umbravo> yeah
Nov 02 2017[19:07:06] <Quintis> True, yeah
Nov 02 2017[19:07:12] <Quintis> True points
Nov 02 2017[19:07:14] <Aurelien> Maybe not Severus though
01Nov 02 2017[19:07:20] <Umbravo> Yeah that was my thoughtg
Nov 02 2017[19:07:22] <~DM> Well, be that as it may
Nov 02 2017[19:07:56] <~DM> If you force march you could conceivably make it either to the little town you saw most of the way to Blacklake
Nov 02 2017[19:08:01] <~DM> Or you could double back toward Yverway
Nov 02 2017[19:08:04] <~DM> Which is east of you
Nov 02 2017[19:08:05] <~DM> Up to you
Nov 02 2017[19:08:17] <Quintis> Little Town it is
Nov 02 2017[19:08:22] <Aurelien> Why would we go to Yverway/ what is there?
01Nov 02 2017[19:08:25] <Umbravo> Little Town On the Sawmp
Nov 02 2017[19:08:30] <~DM> Yverway is larger, but behind you
Nov 02 2017[19:08:37] <~DM> It's like the edge of the Blacklake area
01Nov 02 2017[19:08:39] <Umbravo> More likely to have horses
1Nov 02 2017[19:08:59] <Umbravo> Also it might psyche the vampires out if they scry us going that way
01Nov 02 2017[19:09:11] <Umbravo> psych*
01Nov 02 2017[19:09:41] <Umbravo> We could split the party
Nov 02 2017[19:09:49] <Kurja> No
01Nov 02 2017[19:09:59] <Umbravo> You guys go to yverway and try to get horses, I invis run to the castle and try to murder a vampire who might be disabled
01Nov 02 2017[19:10:10] <Umbravo> Then run away outside the town
Nov 02 2017[19:10:23] <Quintis> We'll all go to Little Town
Nov 02 2017[19:11:13] <~DM> ALRIGHT. The way is long, and harrowing. You never experienced such menace from stands of witchgrass or reeds as this, nor as pressing an anxious a feeling as this beneath the brilliant sun. You pass through the lee of a wood on the south and another on the north, and then cross a river.
Nov 02 2017[19:12:03] <~DM> By noontide, you have reached the little fishing village of Lakeside. North and west of you, there stands the great slumping fortress of Blacklake, frowning over the water of the river and the lake proper, half-hidden by the forest where you confronted your first nightmare-lord of shadows and darkness.
Nov 02 2017[19:12:40] <~DM> Lakeside is small, but in a riotous frenzy. You can see there are folk packing their things, and others are dragging screaming children from the little huts where they live by the water. Boats have been pulled up along the shore, and fishing nets lie untended on the shingle.

01Nov 02 2017[19:13:05] <Umbravo> "Guess Irius was the one controlling these folk"
Nov 02 2017[19:13:16] <~DM> As you draw near, the folk seem to shy away from you, and some hurry faster, trying to stuff their sacks full of whatever meager belongings they have.
Nov 02 2017[19:13:20] <~DM> ***
Nov 02 2017[19:14:59] <Quintis> And how hangs the sun?
Nov 02 2017[19:15:08] <~DM> Noon
01Nov 02 2017[19:15:17] <Umbravo> noontide he said, yeah
Nov 02 2017[19:15:20] <Aurelien> It burneth bright, milord
01Nov 02 2017[19:15:32] <Umbravo> lol
Nov 02 2017[19:15:36] <~DM> You are still some 8-9 hard rods east of Blacklake, the trail winding up along stony ridges toward that distant shape.
01Nov 02 2017[19:15:54] <Umbravo> A knight leans down from his horse and begs a question to a fleeing townsperson, how hangeth the sun, my goodman?
Nov 02 2017[19:15:56] <Aurelien> Well, any of these poor ass motherfuckers have horses?
Nov 02 2017[19:16:31] <~DM> There are a few families with staid plowing horses, and one with a team of oxen.
Nov 02 2017[19:17:56] <Aurelien> "You're a better judge of animals than I, Quintis (since Kelsea is driving atm). You think these plow horses could get us there before dusk?"
Nov 02 2017[19:19:05] <Quintis> "I don't really think you know what I do, Aurelien. If there are enough for everyone to be mounted, it might be quicker."
Nov 02 2017[19:19:28] <Aurelien> You ride a horse all the time you cunt
Nov 02 2017[19:19:36] <Aurelien> And you have a higher Wis than 7
01Nov 02 2017[19:19:49] <Umbravo> well let's just ask kelsea's druid
06Nov 02 2017[19:19:51] * Kurja pulls his phrygian cap low and puffs on his pipe, scowling slightly.
Nov 02 2017[19:19:54] <Aurelien> Aurelien frowns slightly.
Nov 02 2017[19:19:56] <Quintis> I have 0 animal related profs, fyi
01Nov 02 2017[19:19:58] <Umbravo> Game off for the nest 15 mins guys
01Nov 02 2017[19:20:04] <Umbravo> ;v
Nov 02 2017[19:20:15] <Aurelien> Ah shit I should have checked your sheet before I asked j:
01Nov 02 2017[19:20:19] <Umbravo> lol
Nov 02 2017[19:20:41] <Quintis> I mean Paladin + Animal Master
Nov 02 2017[19:20:47] <Quintis> That's my base class and prestige class
Nov 02 2017[19:20:50] <Quintis> So I get the error
Nov 02 2017[19:21:07] <Aurelien> I'm gonna fucking strangle you someday Frank
Nov 02 2017[19:21:08] <~DM> The lamp of the sun climbs steadily in her pace, creeping toward the zenith and beyond.
Nov 02 2017[19:21:09] <Aurelien> I seem
Nov 02 2017[19:21:12] <Aurelien> Swear*
Nov 02 2017[19:21:19] <Quintis> I doubt it
Nov 02 2017[19:21:31] <Aurelien> You can doubt your way to hell
01Nov 02 2017[19:21:33] <Umbravo> DM are these horses like haggard? I'm confused about the meaning of staid in relation to them. They're not zippy young horsies that love pulling plows as fast as possible I take it?
01Nov 02 2017[19:21:43] <Umbravo> They're probably not any faster than us walking unless we want to murder them
Nov 02 2017[19:21:44] <Aurelien> Lol
Nov 02 2017[19:21:51] <~DM> They are plow horses
Nov 02 2017[19:21:55] <~DM> They are used to moving heavy loads
Nov 02 2017[19:21:58] <~DM> at slow speeds
01Nov 02 2017[19:22:05] <Umbravo> Right makes sense
Nov 02 2017[19:22:14] <Aurelien> All right, well... That's how it goes.
Nov 02 2017[19:22:33] <Aurelien> We should forge on until we can find a place to lay low for the night, then.
01Nov 02 2017[19:23:06] <Umbravo> Want to head off the beaten path a bit for better hiding?
Nov 02 2017[19:23:21] <Aurelien> Probably a good call
Nov 02 2017[19:24:26] <~DM> Alright. The path winds away from the lakeside, still about half a rod shy of the wood where you ambushed Lord Aurus.
Nov 02 2017[19:24:40] <~DM> Where are you going, further west and then looking for somewhere to hide with the approaching dusk, or...?
01Nov 02 2017[19:24:53] <Umbravo> let's camp ontop of Aurus's headmound
01Nov 02 2017[19:25:03] <Umbravo> Definitely no vampire wraiths waiting for us there
Nov 02 2017[19:26:41] <Quintis> Since we've got a crew that can manage the woods now, yeah just looking for a place to hide for the night
Nov 02 2017[19:27:05] <Quintis> And if one of them can make a smokeless fire, that'd be good
Nov 02 2017[19:27:16] <~DM> Alright. You spend a few hours moving north and secreting yourself into the woods; you find a good place with a steep hill to your back, deadfalls to cover your tracks, and make some berms to hide your fire.
01Nov 02 2017[19:27:32] <Umbravo> nice
01Nov 02 2017[19:27:39] <Umbravo> having rangers with us is sweet as fuck
Nov 02 2017[19:30:03] <~DM> Gonna pause so Cryo can recover his cat

-- session ended, to be picked up on another day
[18:22:44] <~JDDM> Morning comes. It is Heirus, the 24th of Thaw. You are alive, and a lightning bolt of fear runs through you. The sun is rising beyond the wood, its fingers spreading through the gray shield pines and long-boughed lindens. The spring air is filled with early spring chill. A skirl of wintery wind blows along the rocky hill you've used as protection for your camp.
[18:23:16] <~JDDM> Jaq's rangers rise earliest of all, and are ready girding themselves with their sword-belts, blades, and hatchets.
[18:23:46] <~JDDM> Today is the day, in the eyes of the gods, that you have determined to attack the lair of Sulpicius Severus, the Last Schoolman.
[18:23:48] <~JDDM> ***
[18:25:06] <Quintis> I rise to make my morning prayer then
[18:25:17] <Quintis> And wait for the rest of the party to get up and prepare
[18:26:05] <~JDDM> Quintis, you kneel in a beam of amber dawn, palms up, and speak your silent oaths and prayers to Avauna, the Daystar. The Lamp of the Sun warms you, and then you begin to dress in your shining golden armor, its gilded scales lapping one over the other.
[18:27:15] <Jaq> ts says that Aurelien prays like any devote follower of Galo
[18:27:19] <Jaq> *Galos
[18:27:21] <Jaq> to his spellbook
[18:27:54] <~JDDM> Is he replacing any magic, or just assuring himself of his own power?
[18:28:21] <Jaq> he gave me finger guns
[18:28:50] <Jaq> okay apparently he is replacing item with wraaithform
[18:29:29] <Umbravo> makes sense, since I have the itemized water
[18:30:41] <~JDDM> Switching to desktop, if anyone else wants to do anything before you head to Blacklake while Cryo is tending his animals, tell me now
[18:31:18] * Aurelien (uid251590@Rizon-7AD0635E.tooting.irccloud.com) has joined #10thAge
[18:31:50] * Cryo is now known as Kurja
[18:31:52] <Jaq> I'm gonna pray to Aros
[18:32:10] <Quintis> We don't have a priest anymore, right?
[18:32:12] <Aurelien> Galos, nigga
[18:32:15] <Aurelien> If you're listening
[18:32:30] <Aurelien> Do me and Akem a solid
[18:32:39] <Aurelien> It'll earn ya points man
[18:32:43] <~DM> Alright, Jaq, you face the direction of the wind and begin to pray to Aros; your voice is carried away into the quiet forest, amongst the early morning birdsong and creaking of trees as you send your prayers to him into the Vault of Heaven.

[18:32:45] <Aurelien> You know it, i know it
[18:32:55] <~DM> I'm making the invocation rolls for everyone
[18:32:57] <~DM> Just as a heads up
[18:33:00] <~DM> *everyone praying
[18:33:10] <Jaq> awesome
[18:33:16] <Aurelien> I am absolutely legit praying
[18:33:22] <Jaq> same
[18:33:33] <~DM> I made them for Quintis, Aurelien, and Jaq
[18:33:34] <Aurelien> I remember that time I just casually hallucinated Galos's whole thing with Vagrysj
[18:35:34] <Jaq> My druid will also send a prayer to whoever is appropriate
[18:35:34] <Aurelien> Eleia
[18:35:34] <Aurelien> I would think
[18:35:34] <Jaq> sounds good to me
[18:35:34] <~DM> Alright. Sophia then also kneels in the mossy ground, palms up, and you hear her intoning the Grainmother and the fertility of the fields, "to destroy the undead fiend which plagues this land and makes of it a living sepulcher."
[18:35:34] <~DM> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48V3JxqdbGg
[18:35:34] <~DM> Here's some music to loop and feel intimidated by
[18:35:34] <Jaq> thanks bro
[18:40:14] <Quintis> We don't need a dirge, we need something to get us jazzed up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPnrAkG-3sM
[18:40:32] <~DM> lol either way you are about to enter a tomb
[18:40:34] <~DM> ;v
[18:40:39] <~DM> Yours or his, it matters little to me
[18:40:50] <Kurja> Seeing everyone else pray, I will also pray to Lumia, in fervent commune.
[18:41:42] <~DM> A pretty tapestry you make, then, you lot: all praying to Gods of different names and realms, all in unison, that the world the Gods all love may be saved from the shadow that has placed its stain upon it. And the common theme in all: Destroy Sulpicius Severus—destroy the Last Schoolman.
[18:44:08] * ~Dee-Em (~textual@Rizon-5DEFF1CD.hsd1.ct.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com)
[18:44:28] <~DM> When this is done... what do you do?
[18:45:41] <Jaq> Take a deep breath, look to the clear sky, and get moving.
[18:45:56] <Quintis> Sounds about right
[18:48:16] <~DM> VERY WELL. Lampguard, you head off westward, to the forest's edge. Terce passes, then nones. The trees part, and you can see Blacklake proper now, only a rod or two distant. Its looming shadow of the ruinous fortress marks it; the town seems lively, rather than abandoned, and you can even see mounted figures moving along the streets. The water, too, is alive with small fishing vessels, their sails tacking this way and that to keep them near
[18:48:16] <~DM>  the lakeshore or the mouth of the Black River.
[18:49:37] <~DM> You are still amongst the trees, holly, gorse, and low grasses, but you will have to cross open fields before you arrive at Blacklake town.
[18:49:38] <~DM> ***
[18:51:30] <Quintis> "I expect those are patrols for us. If you aren't already, now's the time to be on your guard."
[18:52:09] <Aurelien> "We don't want to have too much a fight on our hands before we even arrive. I don't know if these things are waking during the day, but if we can we want to take surprise."
[18:52:37] <Aurelien> "What's more, we will want all our magic available for the horrors within the castle."
[18:52:47] <Umbravo> back
[18:53:13] <Quintis> "On the vampires, yes. These patrols must be avoided, ideally."
[18:53:39] <Quintis> (to take surprise on the vampires, yes.)
[18:54:32] <Kurja> "How do you propose we get past the patrols?"
[18:55:34] <Quintis> "Well, we have all these rangers, there might be a long way around through the woods, circling northward I think?"
[18:55:56] <Quintis> "Or conjure some illusion on the other side of town to let the lot of us slink by, perhaps."
[18:56:28] <~DM> Cyril, long contemplative face drawn, looks thoughtfully at the terrain. "Marshy, but not impassable. Is that keep on an islet, or am I going blind?"
[18:56:57] <Quintis> "I believe you are correct."
[18:57:54] <~DM> He nods, thoughtfully. "If we must, we might make our way onto it from the northerly side, away from the town. It will take a few hours detour and the sun is nearing sext, and the noontide."
[18:58:56] <Quintis> "I'd rather risk going through town, especially if we can create a diversion elsewhere and draw those mounted knights off of Blakelake proper for a bit."
[18:59:24] <~DM> "That is not within my realm," Cyril muses, "and I must defer to the two magisters."
[18:59:47] <Quintis> "Do we have any illusions prepared today?"
[19:00:54] <Kurja> "None."
[19:01:18] <Kurja> I glance at Aurelien and his apprentice.
[19:03:05] <Aurelien> "Invisibility, that is all."
[19:03:21] <Quintis> "Welll... then it's a practical diversion, or straight through. Another body count might help, if anyone can get close enough without detection, or thinks they can. At the moment, I think it could work if we split up for diversion, with the rangers leading the knights on a chase in to the woods, and then circling back to rejoin us. I am quite open to other ideas, since my original notion is
[19:03:21] <Quintis> just to ride straight on in and reason with whatever patrol stops us."
[19:03:22] <Aurelien> "All of the rest of my spells are defensive or offensive."
[19:04:03] <Aurelien> "The Lanterns are on foot, and those are mounted men." I'll point out.
[19:04:25] <Quintis> "Mounts don't fair too well in the woods, I'm sure your rangers know how to use that to their advantage."
[19:04:54] <Quintis> "Or we can face them head on, in which case they're still mounted."
[19:05:07] <Jaq> "They would have to escape over open land to reach those woods."
[19:05:18] <~DM> "If we assault them," Cyril says, "We will lose whatever advantage of surprise we have."
[19:05:24] <~DM> "A fight in the streets would surely alert the castle."
[19:06:29] <Quintis> "While it's true, pointing out these flaws in these plans is helpful, what might serve better is if someone else proposed a less flawed plan."
[19:06:57] <Quintis> "Because I am pretty much out of plans, flawed or otherwise."
[19:07:01] <~DM> Cyril gazes at the town for a long time, chin propped on his knee.
[19:07:17] <~DM> "To draw the mounted men out, we could simply start a fire at the edge of the fields."
[19:07:35] <~DM> "When they come for us, we Stranders fade into the wood. This is our strength—studied through a decade of goblin-killing."
[19:07:55] <~DM> "But if they have a plan for alarums, you must deal with their riders without us, for we are not fast."
[19:08:46] <Aurelien> "I say we go around the long way."
[19:08:57] <Quintis> "Eventually they will conclude the fire is a distraction and return to the castle as well, in which case we may be pincered within the castle."
[19:08:59] <Aurelien> "We'll still have the day on our side."
[19:09:16] <Quintis> "How long do we think it'll take?"
[19:09:24] <Aurelien> Til past noon
[19:09:51] <Aurelien> Or til around noon?
[19:09:58] <Quintis> Yeah the way he said it
[19:10:01] <Quintis> was unclear to me
[19:10:04] <Quintis> so I just left it
[19:10:34] <~DM> "Until nones, I'd say. Three hours or so."
[19:10:45] <~DM> "The Lamp of the Sun will be descending, but only just."
[19:12:11] <Kurja> "Let's go around, then."
[19:12:34] <Quintis> Then that's what we do
[19:13:33] <Umbravo> yeah fights don't take 3 hours
[19:13:35] <Umbravo> so it should be fine
[19:13:55] <~DM> Your screen of rangers keeps you well out of harm's way, and the horsemen don't seem keen on leaving more than half a rod from the town. As for the northerly path, it is long and slogging, and you are soon forced to make a difficult choice: leave your wagon amongst the roots and tangle of a small brook, or try to drag it over the soft ground until you reach the castle crossing.
[19:14:58] <Jaq> Aurelien apparently wanted to leave the wagon back where we were making this plan
[19:15:13] <~DM> Ah
[19:15:13] <~DM> Ok
[19:15:18] <~DM> So you are leaving it in the lee of the woods?
[19:15:28] <Jaq> unless there are any objections?
[19:16:05] <Jaq> how far are we from the castle? more or less than a rod?
[19:16:08] <Umbravo> I suppose that makes sense
[19:16:11] <Umbravo> I've got the water and the wagon is like
[19:16:15] <Umbravo> a big pile of gold mostly
[19:16:17] <Quintis> I am sure
[19:16:24] <Quintis> To also parcel out some stakes
[19:16:30] <~DM> A rod towards it, three rods to go around
[19:16:33] <Umbravo> I think we handed them out already
[19:16:56] <Jaq> Basically we'll leave Greenstar, Viridia and the wagon out here in relative safety
[19:17:00] <~DM> Alright
[19:17:01] <Quintis> Okay, then this is a good reminder to everyone that they have a stake
[19:17:30] <Umbravo> remember that you have to hammer the stake in
[19:17:34] <Umbravo> so it's not very good in combat
[19:17:50] <~DM> In that case, you spend several hours slogging through the marshy ground, slime and moss creeping up to your ankles or knees. By nones, with the Lamp of the Sun now hanging on the far side of its arc, you have arrived north of the little island where the great mass of crumbling stone that is Blacklake Castle stands.
[19:18:55] <~DM> Again, it is roughly octagonal in shape, and built in the old Teralian style: massive thick walls and heavy towers, surrounded by wooden hoardings in places where they are still in repair, and simply devoid of support in those where they have rotted away. An arm of the Blackwater River cuts the fortress hill off from the town, and from your position on the northern bank. It is deep enough to drown in, and surrounded by reeds on either side.
[19:19:40] <~DM> The walls of the castle appear curiously empty, though you can now see the jingle of harness in the town south of you: riding in twos and threes, there are fully armed and armored knights, with casque helms and mail shirts, complete with long polearms for charging, making their way along the winding streets.
[19:20:08] <~DM> The portcullis stands up, and a pair of knights lounge on the stone bridge fording the river from the town, leaning on its curb on opposite sides, and muttering to each other.
[19:20:19] <~DM> The whole place has a sense of eerie peace about it, but an alert peace, as of eyes watching.
[19:20:19] <~DM> ***

[19:22:42] <Umbravo> But I can climb up the wall and lower a rope
[19:22:50] <~DM> You see none: only the blank face of a wall, and the gatehouse, who's face is turned away from you and toward the town.
[19:24:40] <Jaq_> probs shit living in that river too
[19:24:44] <Umbravo> I mean
[19:24:46] <Umbravo> I swam across it
[19:24:49] <Umbravo> twice
[19:25:11] * Jaq (~Admin@DBB7A15C:860ED23F:6A3127D3:IP) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[19:25:16] * Jaq_ is now known as Jaq
[19:25:35] <Jaq> doesn't mean there's not fishies
[19:26:04] <Umbravo> True
[19:26:10] <Jaq> but so it seems like the plan is swim and climb, unless there's objections
[19:26:25] <Jaq> it'll be a pain cause we'll have to like, take off our armor
[19:26:31] <Jaq> float it across
[19:26:35] <Jaq> put it back on
[19:26:50] <Umbravo> I could swim across with a rope and it'd be a little easier for others to cross
[19:27:17] <Jaq> sounds like a plan
[19:27:39] <Quintis> Agreed
[19:28:19] <~DM> Alright.
[19:28:49] <Umbravo> Should I tye it off or does someone who's a strong swimmer want to hold it on this end?
[19:29:44] <~DM> Garavus slips into the water, and makes his quick and silent way across, snaking a rope with him. I suppose you then all undress in your armor, and nearly an hour is gone by the time he hauls your tied-up-armor onto shore
[19:30:30] <Umbravo> Alright, glad that worked.
[19:30:40] <~DM> It is a little more than an hour past nones. You are now in the shadow of the fortresses' north-facing eastern wall, where the knights from the bridge cannot see you. You can see the wilds to the north, across the water, and westwards, the land beyond the Black River, where the goblins rule.
[19:30:51] <~DM> But you are here, and you are in the shadow of the vampire's lair.
[19:30:55] <Umbravo> I lower my glamour and reveal I've been a vampire this whole time, and now you've all lost your weapons and armor
[19:31:13] * Kurja makes sure the sheep's bladder in which his magic book is stored was kept dry and secure.
[19:31:31] <~DM> I assumed Aurelien left his spellbook in the wagon
[19:31:35] <~DM> And that you did likewise
[19:31:39] <~DM> But if you have a bladder, you're all set
[19:31:39] <~DM> ;v
[19:31:47] <Umbravo> Yeah no reason to carry it into combat
[19:31:56] <Jaq> ts agrees
[19:32:04] <Jaq> it is in the wagon
[19:32:30] <Umbravo> I've got a couple heads of garlic if you guys want to chew on them. Or carry them to shove in vampire mouths, which I'm not sure is necessary but I did it
[19:33:01] <~DM> The face of the water moves in an unseasonably chill wind, and you feel your wet skin become more sensitive in the breeze. The ivy crawling up the castle wall rustles with the passage of air.
[19:33:19] <Umbravo> This is the side I climbed Down last time right?
[19:33:25] <~DM> No
[19:33:33] <~DM> You would have had to go through the gatehouse
[19:33:38] <~DM> You were on the south-western side
[19:33:41] <Umbravo> Ah ok
[19:33:46] <~DM> Literally the opposite across the bailey from here
[19:34:04] <Umbravo> iirc I climbed up the side where the one guy's private tower is
[19:34:21] <Umbravo> and then climbed ontop of the inner hall/keep thing to spy, then climbed out the opposite side
[19:34:38] <~DM> There was no way to get there unless you went through a tower
[19:34:39] <~DM> or a gatehouse
[19:34:46] <~DM> Maybe the north-west side you dropped off
[19:34:48] <~DM> but no way the north-east
[19:34:54] <Umbravo> Kay
[19:35:48] <Umbravo> So shall we climb up this side, guys? Or the next one round?
[19:36:13] <Jaq> we should climb where we won't be seen
[19:36:49] <~DM> The lamp of the sun marches inexorably across the heavens, and even the staunches of muttered prayers will not slow Lanelus Aurora's descent.
[19:37:06] <Umbravo> I don't remember the exact directions, we're on the side not facing the town right now?
[19:37:07] <~DM> *staunchest
[19:37:29] <~DM> The town is across the bridge
[19:37:32] <~DM> You cannot now see the bridge
[19:37:33] <~DM> or much of the town
[19:37:37] <~DM> Which is southerly from here
[19:37:39] <Umbravo> If we could be seen from town as I climb the wall, I'll go around a corner
[19:37:43] <Umbravo> then climb
[19:37:51] <Jaq> okay I'm a little confused
[19:37:58] <Umbravo> The castle is like a pentagon or something
[19:38:00] <Jaq> so Umbravo has swum across, our armor is across
[19:38:06] <~DM> Everyone is across now
[19:38:07] <Jaq> have we gone across?
[19:38:07] <Umbravo> We're all across already
[19:38:13] <Jaq> okay we're all across
[19:38:24] <Jaq> we're gonna get dressed
[19:38:25] <Umbravo> we can either move to the gatehouse (guards), or climb a wall
[19:38:32] <Jaq> we're climbing the wall
[19:38:36] <Jaq> we already planned to do that
[19:38:38] <Umbravo> Right
[19:38:53] <Jaq> climb the wall and see what it looks like up there
[19:38:58] <Umbravo> My climb is 100%
[19:39:03] <Jaq> do it then
[19:39:13] <Jaq> also I thought it couldn't be higher than like 95
[19:39:18] <Jaq> but whatever, do it
[19:39:20] <~DM> It can't really
[19:39:29] <Umbravo> It can't COUNT as higher than 95, but higher % can cancel penalties
[19:39:54] <Umbravo> It's actually 90% with a 10% bonus for not wearing armor, and there'd be some bonus for the wall being ruins and easy to climb
[19:40:13] <Jaq> okay cool
[19:40:14] <Jaq> climb
[19:40:16] <Jaq> the
[19:40:16] <Jaq> wall
[19:40:17] <Umbravo> I climb
[19:40:18] <~DM> Alright, Garavus, you clamber up the wall, finding handholds in the old ruined stones, and amongst the ropy vines. You heave yourself up over a merlon a moment later, and find yourself on the northern wallwalk.
[19:40:37] <Umbravo> I crouch low and try to see if someone is about to shoot me with an arrow or alert people
[19:40:42] <~DM> Southwards, you can see the door into one of the gatehouse towers. Northwards, is a ruined square tower, half-slumped to one side.
[19:40:59] <~DM> The bailey appears to be mostly empty, save for a lone knight passing back and forth in front of the smithy you saw last time you were here.
[19:41:03] <~DM> No one is on the walls.
[19:41:19] <~DM> The castle is wrapped in an eery dread emptiness, a cloying silence like the veil of the grave.
[19:41:20] <~DM> ***
[19:41:29] <Umbravo> Is there anything jutting out that doesn't look like it's about to break if any pressure of signifiance is applied?
[19:41:37] <Umbravo> I'm trying to find a spot to secure a line
[19:41:53] <~DM> Most of the merlons look sturdy enough.
[19:42:05] <Umbravo> Alright, I'll tye a rope and lower it then.
[19:42:13] <~DM> What's your rope use?
[19:42:21] <Umbravo> 18
[19:42:30] <~DM> Alright. You loop a few knots, then lower a rope down.
[19:43:18] <~DM> The rope slithers down to the foot of the wall, waiting.
[19:43:34] <Jaq> it's time to climb
[19:43:39] <Kurja> I'll go up it.
[19:43:43] <Umbravo> As they climb, I'll investigate the tower near me
[19:43:46] <~DM> I assume everyone is going up it?
[19:43:47] <Umbravo> Can I hear anyone in there?
[19:44:11] <~DM> Garavus, this tower is mostly ruinous, and not only can you hear no one, you can see that the interior of the tower is choked with stone rubble, making it slightly lower than the wall proper.
[19:44:21] <Umbravo> Ah
[19:44:31] <Umbravo> Is there a way down from this side?
[19:44:32] <~DM> As you peer across it, you can see into the inner bailey beyond, where the great hall (upon whose roof you so recently perched) can be seen.
[19:44:38] <~DM> I don't know what that means
[19:44:42] <Umbravo> Like, stairs or something?
[19:44:53] <~DM> A way down from the wall walk into the bailey?
[19:44:56] <Umbravo> yeah
[19:44:58] <~DM> No
[19:45:16] <Umbravo> Guess we're climbing down a rope on the other side too?
[19:45:55] <Kurja> Yep
[19:46:22] <Umbravo> well crap, I don't have enough rope to prep it while you guys climb
[19:46:43] <Jaq> that's fine
[19:46:44] <Jaq> we climb
[19:46:50] <Jaq> I have rope
[19:46:52] <~DM> The ascent of the entire party takes nearly an hour. The sun is now hanging over the castle.
[19:47:02] <Jaq> I'll go second and we can drop that rope
[19:47:16] <Jaq> and everyone can climb
[19:47:38] <~DM> Alright. Garavus, you find a place behind a shed in the inner bailey to let the rope depend, then tie the other end around a merlon.
[19:47:43] <Quintis> Okay, from where we've climbed up, we're on the north side, but facing south-ish as we climb?
[19:47:47] <~DM> Yes
[19:47:55] <Quintis> So to our right is NEish?
[19:47:57] <~DM> You can see across the inner bailey to the lake
[19:47:59] <~DM> Correct
[19:48:02] <Quintis> Okay SO
[19:48:05] <Quintis> To our right
[19:48:09] <~DM> And in that direction is a crumbled tower, along the bisecting wall that cuts through the bailey.
[19:48:11] <Quintis> You said there is a leaning tower?
[19:48:16] <Quintis> Okay crumbled
[19:48:26] <Quintis> But enterable or pure ruin?
[19:48:28] <Yithian> Quintis: did you write down the information that peasantman gave us?
[19:48:35] <Quintis> I did
[19:48:38] <Umbravo> He reposted it last time
[19:48:39] <~DM> No interior, just a ruin-choked mound of rubble.
[19:48:50] <~DM> You might be able to cross it and drop into the inner bailey, if you were sure of foot and had a rope.
[19:49:08] <Umbravo> The one vamp we fought last time is in his own tower, the non-ruined one on the other side of the castle from us I believe? It had a pennant flying
[19:49:21] <Quintis> He is in the NE tower
[19:49:50] <Quintis> <~DM> "There are three great towers on the outwall, and another within to make the inner gatehouse. The poor scribe, Turial, sleeps with the Lord's anointed ladies, Cordelia and Ophelia, in the lesser hall.
[19:49:50] <Quintis> <~DM> "But his Lordship, Simplicius Novice, and now Great Master Endreth of Essad all sleep beneath the grand hall. He has set three of our number, all in fine plate, to guard them while they sleep."
[19:49:50] <Quintis> <~DM> "Sieur Irius dwells in his own tower, a retreat. The lord keeps a library in the north-western tower, but we are not permitted entry."
[19:51:36] <Quintis> We barely have any time left, so let's get this underway. To our left leads to over the gatehouse...?
[19:51:45] <~DM> Yes
[19:51:52] <Quintis> And further beyond to an intact tower?
[19:52:04] <Umbravo> The tower beyond the gatehouse is IIRC the one irius is in
[19:52:06] <~DM> The next tower, along the wall, is actually opposite this crumbled one, on the far side.
[19:52:13] <Jaq> let's infiltrate sieur irius's tower
[19:52:19] <~DM> There are two tower-like projections, platforms, along the wall between here and there.
[19:52:31] <~DM> There is also a long diagonal wall that cuts the interior of this octagon into two sections: an inner, and outer, bailey.
[19:52:55] <~DM> The outer bailey is host to a small town's worth of buildings, a smithy (guarded by a knight), and such.
[19:53:27] <Quintis> I think we gotta creep to the tower on the far side, along the wall
[19:53:28] <~DM> The inner bailey, of which you can only see a little beyond the ruined tower, holds two halls: one massive, taking up a great deal fo the courtyard there, and another smaller one close to the ruined tower.
[19:53:36] <~DM> You will have to pass through the gatehouse towers to do that
[19:53:52] <Yithian> The big hall is obviously the grand hall, which contains at least three vampires
[19:54:08] <Yithian> the NW tower is the library
[19:54:18] <Umbravo> The library looked super spooky when I saw it
[19:54:38] <Yithian> The little hall has the womens
[19:55:28] <Yithian> Irius is the dude I blew up last night, right?
[19:55:32] <Umbravo> yes
[19:55:36] <Umbravo> 2 nights ago I think
[19:56:17] <Yithian> Do we know which tower that'll be?
[19:56:32] <Umbravo> DM Does the flag still fly on one of the towers?
[19:57:02] <~DM> You can't tell from this side
[19:57:13] <~DM> It was a pennant from a window
[19:57:17] <Umbravo> Ah right
[19:57:23] <Yithian> Do you remember which tower that was of these, though?
[19:57:34] <Umbravo> I believe it was the tower on the other side of the inner wall
[19:57:39] <Yithian> Ok.
[19:57:48] <Yithian> So... do we have a way to get there?
[19:57:59] <Umbravo> Like, when we were in town, I went across the river, then went UP one and that was the wall I eventually climbed
[19:58:10] <Umbravo> Whatever direction that actually is
[19:58:44] <Umbravo> A wall facing the lake and blocked from the town's view, iirc
[20:00:03] <Kurja> We shoulda saved a puush of that flockdraw :/
[20:00:04] <Umbravo> I climbed around the outside of his tower and got onto the inner wall
[20:00:20] <~DM> Do you require
[20:00:22] <~DM> another flockdraw
[20:00:25] <Umbravo> yeah probably
[20:00:26] <Kurja> Wasn't it the NW side?
[20:00:27] <Umbravo> We're struggling
[20:00:29] <Kurja> Yeah
[20:00:36] <Kurja> Please
[20:00:47] <~DM> http://flockdraw.com/5zhvxi
[20:02:19] <Umbravo> Yeah I'm right, I just forgot how many sides the walls were
[20:02:40] <Jaq> I gotta restart
[20:02:41] <Jaq> brb
[20:02:47] * Jaq (~Admin@5E8D505E:EFF85280:6A3127D3:IP) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[20:02:50] <~DM> https://puu.sh/yfLO6/9ffe66b114.png
[20:03:17] <Umbravo> I thought the "box" on the wall might've been a barracks, but I guess it's a ruin
[20:03:54] <Yithian> Ok
[20:03:57] <Yithian> Can we label some of the others?
[20:04:01] <Kurja> Which is the library?
[20:04:03] * Yithian is now known as Aurelien_
[20:04:28] <Aurelien_> Who is making these annotations?
[20:04:32] <Umbravo> Me
[20:04:34] <~DM> I guess Garavus is sketching these things on the wall
[20:04:38] <Umbravo> lol
[20:04:39] <~DM> with a piece of charcoal or something
[20:04:45] <Umbravo> Sorry
[20:04:47] <~DM> Or maybe just pointing at them
[20:04:50] <~DM> And saying what they are
[20:05:00] <Aurelien_> haha
[20:05:06] <Aurelien_> but is he accurate? Who knows
[20:05:35] <Umbravo> "That one across from us, if memory serves, had the penant, and I heard irius's voice arguing with the apprentice wizard"
[20:05:41] <Umbravo> Pennant*
[20:05:57] <Umbravo> "Just around the corner from it was the wizard's tower, glowing with eeiry light"
[20:06:44] <Umbravo> So there's a knight guarding the smithy and a knight patrolling?
[20:06:54] <~DM> No
[20:06:58] <~DM> There's just a knight pacing around
[20:07:00] <~DM> in front of the smithy
[20:07:22] <Umbravo> And it's around noon right now?
[20:07:26] <~DM> No
[20:07:28] <~DM> It's around 4:30
[20:07:31] <Umbravo> k
[20:07:46] * Bluebottle (~Admin@BF4730F4:A7DBABE5:6A3127D3:IP) has joined #10thAge
[20:08:02] <Umbravo> Well, we fucked up already, we can't undo it, better climb down the interior. Gotta take out that knight silently I guess...
[20:08:19] <Aurelien_> Well calm down a moment
[20:08:20] <Umbravo> Or climb across the top of the gatehouse/through it
[20:08:23] <Bluebottle> wait what
[20:08:36] <Umbravo> To get to irius's tower we have to walk in front of one of the guards
[20:08:37] * Bluebottle is now known as Jaq
[20:09:05] <Jaq> I think we should actually take out the three in the main area while we still have some sun
[20:09:10] <Umbravo> OR climb back down and go around the castle, which would take another hour because you guys climb slow
[20:09:11] <Aurelien_> We can traverse the walls to get to his tower tbh
[20:09:13] <Jaq> so we don't take extra time on the tower
[20:09:25] <Aurelien_> Irius should still be fucked up from getting his ass handed to him before
[20:09:47] <Umbravo> DM can we go through that ruin to get to the inner wall?
[20:10:07] <Aurelien_> Like, we still have multiple hours of sunlight
[20:10:11] <Umbravo> about 2
[20:10:13] <Aurelien_> If we can slink into the great hall and do our business
[20:10:15] <~DM> You might be able to, but it will be tricky. The far side of the ruined tower, facing the inner bailey, is much lower than the side near you.
[20:10:17] <Aurelien_> night falls at 6:30?
[20:10:27] <~DM> It would be easier to climb down from the ruin into the inner bailey than up onto the other two walls
[20:10:33] <Umbravo> Depends on the time of year I guess. I don't remember what time of year it is. SPring?
[20:10:34] <~DM> Either way I must void my bowels, so
[20:10:36] <~DM> brb
[20:10:37] <~DM> Spring yes
[20:10:39] <Aurelien_> Either way, if we can slink into the great hall and do our business, no other building is directly connected to that building
[20:10:46] <Aurelien_> You see?
[20:10:48] <Aurelien_> So if we go in there
[20:10:54] <Aurelien_> We have until sundown to deal with the lesser creatures
[20:10:56] <Kurja> We probably have about three hours if it is spring
[20:11:05] <Aurelien_> We have HOURS to deal with the servants
[20:11:11] <Aurelien_> They can't fucking leave
[20:11:16] <Aurelien_> their buildings
[20:11:18] <Umbravo> You want to try to take out the 3 hardest guys first? I guess it makes sense
[20:11:23] <Aurelien_> Yes
[20:11:36] <Aurelien_> I absolutely do want to do that
[20:11:37] <Umbravo> Do we have a third rope?
[20:11:52] <Kurja> I do not have rope
[20:12:24] <Quintis> I do
[20:12:32] <Quintis> I've got 50ft of rope
[20:12:38] <Umbravo> It's easier to climb up an down than sideways (even a short way), so I'll need to climb up the inner wall and down it again so you guys can get across it
[20:13:11] <Umbravo> or
[20:13:14] <Umbravo> DM said the opposite
[20:13:24] <Umbravo> :V
[20:13:53] <Umbravo> Think I can string a rope across the ruin for you guys then?
[20:15:20] <Umbravo> Oh I've misunderstood something and I think I already did that...
[20:17:12] <Aurelien_> Ok
[20:17:20] <Aurelien_> DM, is there a fire in the smithy/
[20:17:21] <Aurelien_> ?*
[20:18:09] <~DM> There is not
[20:18:17] <~DM> The smithy is dead and empty, as are all of these buildings, it seems
[20:18:34] <Aurelien_> And one single armored man tromping back and forth?
[20:18:37] <Umbravo> Of course not aurelien, he's the nightsmith
[20:18:39] <~DM> Yes
[20:18:52] <Aurelien_> lol Umbravo
[20:18:53] <Umbravo> DM: I lowered the rope into the part with the halls, not the smith?
[20:18:56] <Aurelien_> if I ever meet you in person
[20:19:05] <Aurelien_> I'm gonna grab your dick, nice and sensual
[20:19:07] <~DM> You lowered it into the outer bailey
[20:19:07] <Aurelien_> get you hard
[20:19:09] <Aurelien_> and then rip
[20:19:09] <Aurelien_> it
[20:19:09] <~DM> Where you said you wanted to go
[20:19:09] <Aurelien_> of
[20:19:11] <Aurelien_> f
[20:19:13] <Umbravo> Ok
[20:19:35] <Umbravo> Would a rope be helpful for the others to get across the ruin so that we can climb directly into the inner bailey?
[20:19:47] <~DM> I don't know how
[20:19:49] <~DM> it would be
[20:19:52] <~DM> It would be helpful to get DOWN
[20:20:07] <Aurelien_> Ok, do you wanna go fight that knight or do you want us to like, do something else to him? OR do you wanna just walk the walls over toward where the grand hall lies?
[20:20:24] <Aurelien_> Quintis, you agree with me that we should go on and fuck with the grand hall?
[20:20:34] <Umbravo> I didn't think we could easily get past the ruins next to us
[20:21:09] <Quintis> I suppose we can start with the grand hall
[20:21:12] <Quintis> There are 3 knights
[20:21:16] <Quintis> in the grand hall
[20:21:19] <Aurelien_> I can probably disable thsoe guys
[20:21:19] <Umbravo> yeah
[20:21:21] <Aurelien_> INSTANTLY
[20:21:22] <Quintis> Big armor, big sward
[20:21:23] <Aurelien_> those*
[20:21:37] <Aurelien_> I've got stoneskin and color spray
[20:21:39] <Umbravo> Does give a chance for the sleeping vamps to wake if you cast a spell that's loud though, to be fair
[20:21:55] <Aurelien_> Well there's no way for us to do this silently
[20:21:57] <Aurelien_> is there?
[20:22:07] <Quintis> But when the sun used to be out, that was not as big a worry
[20:22:10] <Quintis> There is not
[20:22:19] <Aurelien_> The sun s out
[20:22:20] <Aurelien_> is*
[20:22:32] <Quintis> Not for much longer
[20:22:36] <Aurelien_> A few
[20:22:37] <Aurelien_> hours
[20:22:51] <Quintis> Sun sets at about 7
[20:22:56] <Quintis> DM what time does it seem to be?
[20:23:01] <Aurelien_> it's 4:30 he said
[20:23:08] <~DM> 4:30ish in your crude modern estimation
[20:23:10] <Aurelien_> haha
[20:23:16] <Aurelien_> CRUDE MODERN ESTIMATION
[20:23:24] <~DM> With your standard length hours
[20:23:35] <~DM> Instead of the elegant premodern hours that divide a day into 12 lengths
[20:23:41] <~DM> regardless of the time between sunrise and sunset
[20:23:53] <Umbravo> In arunia, the length of an hour is dependant on how avauna is feeling that day
[20:24:11] <Aurelien_> lol
[20:24:32] <Aurelien_> Okay. Do you want me to A) cast a spell on this guy
[20:24:39] <Aurelien_> or B) load him down with arrows from up here
[20:24:45] <Umbravo> Let's risk you guys falling off a wall and just ignore the knight
[20:24:51] <Aurelien_> or C) umbravo climbs down to try and splinter cell him
[20:24:58] <Aurelien_> Well he might see us and yell
[20:25:00] <Aurelien_> while we do that shit
[20:25:00] <Umbravo> I'd vote C if we wanted to enter the outer bailey
[20:25:15] <Aurelien_> We need to deal with that man to be able to get around here
[20:25:16] <Umbravo> My move silent is pretty good, 90+10
[20:25:17] <Aurelien_> So
[20:25:18] <Aurelien_> Do it then
[20:25:20] <Aurelien_> Fuck him up dawg
[20:25:26] <Aurelien_> Get on it immediately
[20:25:37] <Umbravo> There might be more guys in the inner gatehouse
[20:25:47] <~DM> You have now wasted 15 minutes
[20:25:48] <~DM> equivocating
[20:25:51] <Umbravo> lol fine
[20:25:52] <~DM> on the top of the wall
[20:25:53] <Umbravo> I climb down
[20:25:59] <Umbravo> THIS
[20:26:01] <Umbravo> IS HOW WE ALWAYS DIE
[20:26:05] <Umbravo> for the record
[20:26:32] <~DM> Garavus, you rapidly slither down the rope and land behind a shed, next to a two-wheeled wain, avoiding a drift of horse shit.
[20:26:41] <~DM> Something smells more foul than that here, though you aren't certain what it is.
[20:26:42] <Umbravo> Close call
[20:27:03] <~DM> You skirt the edge of the bailey, using the little lanes between the seemingly abandoned houses and workshops to approach the smithy.
[20:27:27] <~DM> You manage to do so without catching the knight's attention. When the opportune moment comes, I take it you dart out from behind a barrel, try to clap your hand around his mouth
[20:27:31] <~DM> and bury your sword in his back?
[20:27:38] <Umbravo> Sounds good
[20:27:43] <~DM> Roll it
[20:27:46] <Umbravo> I feel bad killing a guy who's brainwashed
[20:27:49] <Umbravo> but I gotta do it
[20:27:56] <Umbravo> +4 for backstab?
[20:28:01] <~DM> Yes
[20:28:15] <Umbravo> man this is a tense roll
[20:28:23] <~DM> Definitely draw it out
[20:28:26] <Umbravo> 1d20+5 19 thac0
[20:28:26] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, 19 thac0: 18 [1d20=13]
[20:28:26] <~DM> as long as possible
[20:28:33] <~DM> Ok, deal backstabbing damage
[20:29:06] <Umbravo> That's multiply the dice or multiply damage?
[20:29:13] <~DM> Multiply the damage
[20:29:17] <Umbravo> 1d8+1
[20:29:18] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, 1d8+1: 9 [1d8=8]
[20:29:23] <Umbravo> x2
[20:29:35] <Umbravo> 18 damj is pretty good
[20:29:42] <~DM> He shudders in your hands, without ever making a sound louder than a pained moan.
[20:29:53] <~DM> You get 50 xp from the murder, 200 xp from the successful sneak and stab
[20:30:14] <~DM> You all watch, on the wall, as the knight drops like a stone, spinning around, cloak whirling and catching under him.
[20:30:31] <Umbravo> Is there a place to quietly place his body?
[20:30:34] <Umbravo> Like behind a shed
[20:30:37] <~DM> There are plenty of places
[20:31:01] <Umbravo> Alright I'll pull him back and hide him behind something.
[20:31:18] <~DM> Alright. You hoist him up under the armpits and drag him off to stash him behind a few barrels near  the smithy wall.
[20:32:02] <Umbravo> now since we're down here I dunno if I wanna try to stake the smith...
[20:32:19] <Umbravo> We still don't know if the vampire lord can sense when we do that
[20:32:29] <~DM> Only you are down there
[20:32:30] <~DM> currently
[20:32:48] <Umbravo> I'll say a prayer to Aros over the body while I wait for my companions
[20:33:25] <Kurja> We climb down the rope.
[20:33:42] <Jaq> yurp
[20:33:45] <~DM> Alright. This is a process of some 15 minutes. It is now nearing fivish when you all arrive outside the smithy.
[20:34:25] <Aurelien_> Nice job
[20:34:42] <Umbravo> I'll sketch out an arrow pointing at the smith and an arrow pointing toward the tower and look around, questioningly
[20:34:51] <Kurja> Is there a door through to the inner bailey?
[20:34:58] <~DM> Yes, an open gate
[20:35:12] <Aurelien_> We'll pass through it, sword arms in the lead.
[20:35:38] <~DM> Very well. You pass through the inner gate and into the inner bailey.
[20:35:54] <~DM> Quintis leads the way, the very image of a knight in literally shining gold-plated scale armor.
[20:36:23] <Aurelien_> We fuckin got this dawg
[20:36:37] <Aurelien_> So in here there is the lesser hall and the great hall, right? Anything else?
[20:36:46] <~DM> There is a massive building dominating the inner bailey, a roughly L-shaped structure of stone, with a wooden roof arching over its top, spare thatch covering the beams. A stairway crawls up the small leg of the L, to a door leading within.
[20:37:12] <~DM> Beyond that is a much smaller rectangular building, in the lee of the ruined tower, this one of heavy granite blocks with a slate roof, and tall windows that have all been shuttered.
[20:37:13] <Aurelien_> Oh my god, it has a wooden thatched roof
[20:37:16] <~DM> ***
[20:37:30] <Aurelien_> I'm tempted to just fucking fireball it from here
[20:37:39] <Aurelien_> It can't be that easy
[20:37:40] <Umbravo> lol
[20:37:48] <Umbravo> They're in the basement
[20:37:58] <Aurelien_> Then we kinda
[20:38:00] <Aurelien_> have them
[20:38:02] <Aurelien_> don't we?
[20:38:08] <Umbravo> I don't think it'd kill them
[20:38:14] <Aurelien_> No but it would ultra trap them
[20:38:17] <Umbravo> true
[20:38:26] <Aurelien_> Oh well. So, we know there are three knights at LEAST in this great hall
[20:38:27] <Umbravo> and then you would have plenty of time to research a spell to enslave them
[20:38:34] <Aurelien_> lol
[20:38:45] <Aurelien_> Quintis, how do you wanna do this?
[20:38:50] <Aurelien_> You want me to try and color spray them?
[20:38:57] <Quintis> Sure
[20:39:17] <Aurelien_> All right well, will you lead with me just in case there's something vampiric right there in the doorway
[20:39:21] <Aurelien_> and I need to duck behind you?
[20:39:43] <Aurelien_> If I can't knock them out with spells we will have to resort to butchery
[20:39:58] <Quintis> Okay
[20:40:06] <Aurelien_> All right. Thanks Q
[20:40:14] <~DM> Just you two going in?
[20:40:15] <Umbravo> hm
[20:40:17] <Aurelien_> Umbravo, check the door for traps
[20:40:27] <Umbravo> I look at the ground in the doorway
[20:40:30] <Aurelien_> ;)
[20:40:32] <Umbravo> Is there anything unusual about it?
[20:40:34] <~DM> The doorway is that the top
[20:40:35] <~DM> of a staircase
[20:40:39] <Umbravo> Ah
[20:40:41] <~DM> On the outside of the building
[20:40:42] <Aurelien_> Check the stairs
[20:40:51] <Umbravo> Are the stairs gonna collapse?
[20:41:03] <~DM> Are you a mason?
[20:41:08] <Aurelien_> You're asking really specific questions
[20:41:10] <Aurelien_> but what I'm asking is
[20:41:12] <Aurelien_> to check for traps
[20:41:26] <Umbravo> You sound like hydrophis
[20:41:32] <Umbravo> I'm not a mason
[20:41:38] <~DM> Then you don't know
[20:42:50] <Umbravo> I'm not a trapfinder anymore than you. If you want to look for traps, use your brain to think of what the trap might be
[20:43:12] <Umbravo> I'm a sneakman
[20:43:53] <Kurja> I'll follow behind Aurelien. I still need to cast Uncanny Step on Jaq
[20:44:19] <Kurja> But I will do that when all hell breaks loose
[20:44:27] <~DM> Alright
[20:44:35] <~DM> So are Aurelien and Quintis climbing the stairs?
[20:44:47] <Aurelien_> I'd really rather Umbravo lead
[20:44:55] <Aurelien_> Since he is mathematically
[20:44:58] <Aurelien_> more of a trapfinder
[20:44:59] <Aurelien_> than me
[20:45:13] <Aurelien_> But yeah, sure, fuck it
[20:45:18] <Umbravo> Only if you want me to stop and look for them for a couple of minutes
[20:45:23] <Aurelien_> That is
[20:45:30] <Aurelien_> what I am asking you to do
[20:45:39] <Aurelien_> In every way
[20:45:46] <Umbravo> I've only got 15 in it
[20:45:49] <Aurelien_> argh
[20:45:53] <Aurelien_> All right DM, I cast Detect Magic
[20:46:01] <Umbravo> :(
[20:46:15] <~DM> Aurelien, you rattle off a spell, your hands flashing and eyes glowing. Your voice pulses with the vox arcana, and whirls through the empty courtyard.
[20:46:31] <Aurelien_> Kurja, you might as well cast your spell.
[20:46:37] <Kurja> I do it as he does it
[20:46:40] <Kurja> touching Jaq
[20:46:45] <~DM> As your eyes adjust, you can see a powerful illusory spell radiating from somewhere within, probably near the back of the hall, but no other magics.
[20:47:15] <Kurja> I cast uncanny step on Jaq
[20:47:18] <Aurelien_> "There's a mighty illusion in there, toward the back of the hall. Keep that in mind.  I don't see anything else."
[20:47:28] <Quintis> I draw my sword
[20:47:43] <Quintis> and ready my shield
[20:47:51] <Aurelien_> Then yeah, Quintis and I will head up the stairs. If we get to the top of the stairs unmolested, you others follow us.
[20:47:54] <~DM> The darkness compasses the courtyard again.
[20:48:05] <Aurelien_> The darkness?
[20:48:08] <~DM> Er
[20:48:09] <~DM> SORRY
[20:48:10] <~DM> Silence
[20:48:13] <~DM> Is what I meant
[20:48:15] <Aurelien_> You can see why I was worried
[20:48:16] <Kurja> Jesus
[20:48:19] <~DM> Just thinkin bought that darkness
[20:48:19] <Jaq> draw my shit too
[20:48:23] <Aurelien_> lol
[20:48:25] <Aurelien_> bought it
[20:48:27] <Aurelien_> I bought it
[20:48:32] <Aurelien_> hook, lion and sinker
[20:48:36] <~DM> It was really
[20:48:38] <Kurja> lol
[20:48:38] <~DM> a Sopranos ending
[20:48:41] <~DM> Cut to black
[20:48:42] <~DM> silence
[20:49:03] <Umbravo> Hm the other hall has a bunch of windows we could probably just open
[20:49:03] <Aurelien_> I'll give you a Sopranos ending
[20:49:03] <Aurelien_> thrown off a bot
[20:49:03] <Aurelien_> boat*
[20:49:12] <Aurelien_> but why would that help us
[20:49:16] <Aurelien_> Let's not backtrack NOW
[20:49:17] <Aurelien_> of all times
[20:49:19] <Umbravo> yeah ok
[20:49:22] <Umbravo> We enter the main hall
[20:49:23] <Aurelien_> OK
[20:49:34] <Umbravo> I'll follow you up so I die at the same time
[20:49:48] <~DM> Alright, Quintis and Aurelien approach the door at the top of the staircase. You can see that it is partly ajar, standing a handspan open. Beyond you can make out a distant plaster-covered wall, and something partially blocking the entryway near its base.
[20:49:59] <~DM> There is also a smell, and a faint buzzing, like the presence of flies on horse shit.
[20:50:01] <~DM> ***
[20:50:06] <Kurja> I follow up these four.
[20:50:34] <Aurelien_> Hng
[20:50:38] <Aurelien_> I'll push the door open further.
[20:51:46] <~DM> As you do, you realize what you are pushing against: A human form. Indeed, the hall beyond, a great wooden-floored affair with cracked plaster walls and burnt out rushlights, candle stubs, and empty silver lamps with their wicks all used up, is littered with corpses. These are travelers, merchants, and folk in fine attire, all with their throats torn out, or their heads twisted in obscene ways.
[20:52:09] <Aurelien_> What. the. fuck.
[20:52:13] <Umbravo> The partygoers...
[20:52:14] <~DM> Against the left wall is a semi-circular platform where musicians might have stood, but now there is a mound of the dead. You make out something that might be a harp amongst the sticky, fly-covered mass.
[20:52:34] <~DM> At the far end of the hall is a platform that runs along the back wall, and in its center is a tall wooden seat. The platform and seat are both empty.

[20:52:54] <Umbravo> DM you were too disgusting for zeynep
[20:53:42] * Umbravo curses in haktish as he gets a view past the wizard and knight, covers his nose and spits
[20:53:43] <Jaq> we gotta keep going
[20:54:06] <Quintis> "Where was that illusion supposed to be?"
[20:54:49] <Aurelien_> I'll gesture. "Toward that back wall."
[20:55:20] <Umbravo> "Likely covering the door to the cellar?"
[20:55:26] <Aurelien_> Since I know there is an illusion, can I try and disbelieve whatever it is?
[20:55:31] <Quintis> Yeah
[20:55:32] <~DM> Yes
[20:55:40] <Umbravo> me too, me too, dada
[20:55:44] <Aurelien_> I'll gird my loins and take a step inside, pushing this poor dead man out of the way.
[20:55:53] <Jaq> samesies
[20:55:55] <~DM> Quintis, Aurelien, Umbravo, you peer at the back platform, fervently attempting to dispel it in your mind.
[20:56:00] <~DM> Jaq, you do the same.
[20:56:04] <Kurja> Yeah, I'll disbelieve.
[20:56:10] <Umbravo> What's the save based on?
[20:56:21] <~DM> After a moment, a portion of the floor appears to ripple for all of you, over on the right-hand side of the wooden platform.
[20:56:33] <~DM> Then, it dissolves into the air, revealing a heavy, obvious, brass-ringed trap door.
[20:56:47] <Aurelien_> No knights in here of any kind, huh?
[20:57:43] <~DM> None
[20:58:31] <Quintis> "Well, someone strike a torch then."
[20:58:48] <Quintis> And we'll head for the trap door
[20:58:53] <Kurja> I'll do as the Sieur instructs.
[20:59:04] <~DM> Kurja, you take a torch and light it as the party moves for the trap.
[20:59:12] <~DM> Quintis, pulling it open?
[20:59:34] <Umbravo> lol
[20:59:37] <Umbravo> Love the phrasing
[20:59:41] <Umbravo> the party moves for the trap
[21:01:12] <Quintis> Eh, I'll look over the hinges first
[21:01:18] <Quintis> and the lip
[21:01:25] <Aurelien_> God forbig Umbravo do so
[21:01:26] <Quintis> For any wires
[21:01:28] <~DM> They seem standard heavy brass things, and the lip is rough with use, scraped and battered.
[21:01:29] <Aurelien_> forbid*
[21:01:35] <Aurelien_> I see no more magic here?
[21:01:38] <Umbravo> fucking
[21:01:40] <~DM> None
[21:01:40] <Umbravo> I'll open it dude
[21:01:44] <Umbravo> everyone step back
[21:01:49] <Aurelien_> Ok, we do
[21:01:55] <Kurja> Yep
[21:02:01] <Umbravo> I'll check the seam of the trapdoor for like
[21:02:04] <Umbravo> weird catches and stuff
[21:02:09] <~DM> You see the same thing Quintis saw
[21:02:11] <Kurja> Following instructions
[21:02:12] <Umbravo> before grabbing the ring and pulling the door open
[21:02:13] <Umbravo> lol
[21:02:14] <Umbravo> Sorry
[21:02:20] <Umbravo> JUST BEING CAREFUL
[21:02:39] <Kurja> Just burning daylight
[21:02:43] <~DM> The door groans open, revealing a dark maw beneath. There is a strange smell that puffs up amongst the vile stench of death: a sort of mustiness, like old books.
[21:03:08] <Umbravo> "Kurj, do you want to direct the sunlight now?"
[21:03:17] <Aurelien_> Kurge
[21:03:40] <Umbravo> I've gott a kurj, a kurj to splerge
[21:03:57] <Kurja> Kurja is apparently not short enough
[21:04:33] <Kurja> "Shall I do it?" I'll ask the others.
[21:04:35] <Umbravo> Yes sorry, it just seems like a natural way to shorten it
[21:05:09] <Aurelien_> "We don't know what it's like down there."
[21:05:18] <Umbravo> "Actually, if the knights are down there, perhaps we shouldn't. They might damage them and ruin it for you..."
[21:05:34] <Aurelien_> "I somehow doubt that there are living men down there."
[21:05:40] <Umbravo> How deep does the hole look?
[21:05:49] <~DM> At least 5 feet.
[21:05:54] <Aurelien_> lol
[21:06:02] <Umbravo> I'll lower quintis's rope into it
[21:06:03] <Aurelien_> How does your mirror work exactly?
[21:06:07] <Umbravo> Or is there a ladder?
[21:06:14] <~DM> There is a ladder just to one side of the hatch
[21:06:17] <Umbravo> Oh :V
[21:06:23] <Umbravo> I won't do that then, derp
[21:06:29] <Quintis> I'll climb down and wait for the torch to join me
[21:06:34] <Umbravo> lol fucking quintis
[21:06:37] <Umbravo> I was gonna go down first
[21:06:51] <Umbravo> I'll climb down after quintis, then light my own torch
[21:06:52] <~DM> Quintis, you descend into the darkness.
[21:06:55] <Kurja> I'll pass the torch down.
[21:07:10] <~DM> As you reach the packed earth below, you hear the creaking of harness, and the soft rustle of chain away in the black.
[21:07:21] <Aurelien_> Wew
[21:07:30] <Umbravo> welp
[21:07:40] <~DM> "You have come," a hoarse voice says. "Domanus, awaken his Lordship. He was right."
[21:07:40] <Kurja> http://frothingmug.blogspot.com/2017/07/kurjamielis-triad.html Aurelien, last spell there

[21:07:50] <~DM> Zeynep
[21:07:53] <~DM> You have missed uh
[21:08:01] <~DM> I dunno, Vortor send her logs of what she missed
[21:08:04] <Umbravo> k
[21:08:14] <zeynep> thank u
[21:08:25] <~DM> As you reach the packed earth below, you hear the creaking of harness, and the soft rustle of chain away in the black. "You have come," a hoarse voice says. "Domanus, awaken his Lordship. He was right."
[21:08:28] <~DM> What do, Quintis?
[21:08:48] <Umbravo> I'll rush forward and try to tumble past the first knight
[21:08:56] <~DM> Thanks Quintis
[21:08:57] <Quintis> "Leave, if you can, and you'll be spared."
[21:09:00] <~DM> You are still on the ladder though
[21:09:02] <Umbravo> damn
[21:09:08] <Umbravo> alright, pastebinning
[21:09:08] <Aurelien_> Q they're mindblasted
[21:09:17] <Aurelien_> :(
[21:09:27] <~DM> You can see glinting armor in the darkness, a helm, a long blade the length of a man's leg.
[21:09:28] <Quintis> I guess I forfeit my kit then? I dunno what to say
[21:09:34] <Aurelien_> lol
[21:09:37] <~DM> "Spared? It is you who must leave, or die."
[21:09:44] <~DM> "You have caused great harm here, mad knight."

[21:10:28] <~DM> lol
[21:10:28] <Umbravo> great
[21:10:31] <Aurelien_> And I'll start climbin
[21:10:36] * zeynep (~zeynep@Rizon-8EF8A117.hsd1.ct.comcast.net) has joined #10thAge
[21:10:39] <~DM> Umbravo, you reach the floor
[21:10:47] <Umbravo> https://pastebin.com/fcnk3rF4
[21:10:49] <~DM> You begin to light your torch I assume
[21:11:15] <Umbravo> There's a torch here already?
[21:11:21] <~DM> Oh yeah>?
[21:11:24] <~DM> Quintis has a torch?
[21:11:26] <Aurelien_> I'm gonna climb as fast as I can here. Kurja's got a torch
[21:11:26] <Umbravo> Kurja tried to hand his down yeah
[21:11:32] <Umbravo> I'm not sure if that happened already
[21:11:41] <~DM> He was trying to pass it to you
[21:11:43] <~DM> So you can accept it
[21:11:46] <Umbravo> sure
[21:11:52] <Kurja> I'll go down there, and tell Umbravo to say the word to unfurl the barrel.
[21:12:00] <~DM> Then, as the torch enters the space below the floor, you can see it more clearly
[21:12:19] <~DM> Some thirty feet ahead stands a knight all in plate armor, covered head to toe in gothic Teralian style, a close-faced helm giving him the look of some terrible specter.
[21:12:42] <~DM> The floor is hard packed earth, and the rear wall, the wall that must be the FRONT of this accursed hall, filled with dead, is lost in shadow.
[21:12:47] <~DM> You can hear other movement back there, though.
[21:12:50] <~DM> What is everyone doing?
[21:13:05] <Jaq> followin aurelien down
[21:13:05] <Aurelien_> This knight is alone?
[21:13:14] <Quintis> Holding action/guarding
[21:13:17] <~DM> He is the only one visible
[21:13:21] <Jaq> sophie and then will follow after
[21:13:25] <Jaq> *them
[21:13:29] <~DM> But there is plenty of room beyond him, swathed in darkness
[21:13:29] <Umbravo> I'll rush forward and try to tumble past the knight like I said.
[21:13:39] <Aurelien_> With the torch?
[21:13:43] <Umbravo> Hm
[21:13:46] <~DM> Yes, it only illumines a small space
[21:13:46] <Umbravo> I'll hand the torch off
[21:13:49] <Umbravo> I guess?
[21:13:54] <Umbravo> I dunno if I can tumble with a torch
[21:13:56] <Umbravo> would that be feasible?
[21:14:03] <~DM> Alright, as you pass Quintis the knight crunches across the floor toward you, swinging his bastard sword in a huge glittering arc.
[21:14:05] <~DM> You can just drop it
[21:14:11] <Aurelien_> I'll take it
[21:14:13] <~DM> Make a tumble check to see if you have your AC bonus
[21:14:34] <Umbravo> vs 18
[21:14:35] <Umbravo> 1d20
[21:14:36] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, 1d20: 19 [1d20=19]
[21:14:38] <Umbravo> :(
[21:14:44] <~DM> AC vs slashing?
[21:14:55] <Umbravo> 3
[21:15:14] <~DM> His bastard sword cuts air, not flesh, and though you trip, the force of your stagger sends you beyond his reach.
[21:15:17] <~DM> The knight whirls.
[21:15:20] <~DM> Init and actions.
[21:15:37] <Quintis> 1d10+2 attacking
[21:15:37] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, attacking: 4 [1d10=2]
[21:15:43] <Aurelien_> I'll toss the torch after Umbravo to illuminate some more of this place.
[21:16:06] <Aurelien_> Or better yet
[21:16:11] <Aurelien_> I'll conjure a Flaming Sphere
[21:16:19] <~DM> Where?
[21:16:34] <Aurelien_> There space for it between this knight and Umbravo?
[21:16:40] <~DM> Barely, but yes
[21:16:42] <Kurja> 1d10 holding my action
[21:16:42] <DiceMaiden> Kurja, holding my action: 9 [1d10=9]
[21:16:54] <Aurelien_> 1d10+2
[21:16:54] <DiceMaiden> Aurelien_, 1d10+2: 6 [1d10=4]
[21:17:12] <~DM> Jaq you are still on the ladder
[21:17:15] <~DM> Quintis, go
[21:17:21] <Jaq> okie dokie
[21:17:22] <~DM> The knight has his back to you now, as he faces Umbravo

[21:17:46] <Umbravo> It's an extra +2 for back attack right?
[21:17:49] <~DM> Yes
[21:18:03] <~DM> You smash into his plate armor, but your blade becomes tangled in the heavy black cloak he wears around his shoulder, and your blow is fouled, clanging uselessly.
[21:18:49] <~DM> Aurelien, eyes flashing red and hands writing fiery runes in the air, calls forth a blazing sphere of light between Umbravo and the knight. This is a sort of spongy mass all burning with brilliant blue-and-red tongues of flame, which bathes the preternaturally chill room in heat and light.
[21:19:21] <~DM> You can now see the far end of the chamber, where three huge stone sarcophagi sit. These look like they have been stolen from Teralian tombs, carved as they are in an ancient necromantic style, with scrawling evil runes all over them.
[21:19:33] <Umbravo> gross
[21:19:39] <~DM> There is a slender knight in plate heaving to open the center sarcophagus, and a third knight who was crouching in the shadows, blade drawn and shield at the ready.
[21:19:55] <~DM> Bastard-blade knight has made his saving throw
[21:20:00] <~DM> So deal your appropriate damage, Aurelien
[21:20:02] <Aurelien_> You motherfuckers
[21:20:14] <Aurelien_> 1d4
[21:20:14] <DiceMaiden> Aurelien_, 1d4: 2 [1d4=2]

[21:20:34] <DiceMaiden> Aurelien_, 10d4: 23 [10d4=4,2,1,4,4,2,2,1,1,2]

[21:21:41] <Quintis> 1d10+2 bastard-sword knight
[21:21:41] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, bastard-sword knight: 6 [1d10=4]
[21:21:53] <Umbravo> 1d10+2 then
[21:21:53] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, then: 10 [1d10=8]
[21:21:55] <Umbravo> :V
[21:22:10] <Umbravo> And when it's mid-air I'll say the word
[21:22:27] <~DM> Aurelien and Kurja?
[21:23:00] <Kurja> 1d10 Holding
[21:23:00] <DiceMaiden> Kurja, Holding: 10 [1d10=10]
[21:23:32] <Aurelien_> Sorry, how near is the knight with the sarcophagus to the crouching knight?
[21:23:42] <~DM> About 10 feet away
[21:23:45] <Aurelien_> I'm trying to finish up this soup
[21:23:45] <~DM> from each other
[21:23:46] <Aurelien_> That's perfect
[21:23:51] <Aurelien_> I'm gonna use Color Spray
[21:23:54] <Aurelien_> 1d10+1
[21:23:55] <DiceMaiden> Aurelien_, 1d10+1: 2 [1d10=1]
[21:24:03] <~DM> Ok, just to be clear, Garavus is also
[21:24:04] <Umbravo> ok please don't hit me with it
[21:24:05] <~DM> in that fan
[21:24:07] <Aurelien_> LOL
[21:24:08] <Aurelien_> WOOPS
[21:24:11] <Aurelien_> Ok sorry

[21:24:13] <Umbravo> fuck it just do it
[21:24:17] <Aurelien_> lol dude no
[21:24:23] <Umbravo> I'll get stunned but it'll stop vampires from attacking us
[21:24:37] <Aurelien_> Okay, one final clarifying question for how desperate a move this is
[21:24:55] <Aurelien_> Is the dude opening the sarcophagus, has he got it like, open, or is he still heaving it?
[21:25:11] <~DM> He has the lid about a handspan over, and is pulling it to try to heave it to the ground
[21:25:20] <Aurelien_> Ah fuck
[21:25:55] <~DM> Action my dear
[21:26:07] <Umbravo> magic missile?
[21:26:15] <Aurelien_> I'll Magic Missile him then I surpose
[21:26:17] <Aurelien_> same init
[21:26:31] <Aurelien_> I was hoping not to murder these guys :(
[21:26:49] <~DM> Alright. Aurelien rattles off an acid green magic missile, blasting five whirling orbs toward the knight, Domanus, by the lid.
[21:26:51] <Umbravo> sorry but I really wanted to try to stop this guy
[21:26:57] <~DM> Deal your gross amount of damage
[21:27:14] <Aurelien_> 5d4+5
[21:27:14] <DiceMaiden> Aurelien_, 5d4+5: 18 [5d4=4,3,3,2,1]
[21:27:41] <~DM> The knight writhes, hands rising from the lid, trying vainly to cover his face, and then falls, a silent ruin.
[21:28:01] <~DM> The bastard-sword knight shouts, "Sieur Asmith! IT IS ON YOU! SAVE THE LORD, AND THE LAND!"
[21:28:11] <~DM> Quintis
[21:28:57] <~DM> Also Aurelien, deal your small singe damage
[21:28:58] <Quintis> 1d20+3
[21:28:58] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, 1d20+3: 18 [1d20=15]
[21:29:08] <~DM> Hit
[21:29:15] <Quintis> 1d8+3
[21:29:15] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, 1d8+3: 7 [1d8=4]
[21:29:18] <Aurelien_> 1d4 singin
[21:29:18] <DiceMaiden> Aurelien_, singin: 3 [1d4=3]
[21:29:43] <~DM> The knight staggers, stumbling into the orb and kicking it a few feet, then turning to face Quintis after the blow that cracked into his backplate.
[21:29:57] <~DM> You can barely see his eyes in the ruddy light, Quintis, but the man is clearly terrified.
[21:30:14] <~DM> Garavus, you fling the scrap of cloth toward the sarcophagus as Sieur Asmith arrives at it.
[21:30:24] <~DM> Roll your attack to see if you scatter
[21:30:39] <Umbravo> 1d20+2
[21:30:39] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, 1d20+2: 3 [1d20=1]
[21:30:41] <Umbravo> :V
[21:30:43] <Umbravo> I fuckin
[21:30:48] <Umbravo> you serious dicemaiden
[21:30:50] <Aurelien_> Umbravo forgets what I said
[21:30:54] <Aurelien_> and puts it on his head
[21:31:01] <Umbravo> I put it in my mouth and explode my head
[21:31:02] <Kurja> Great
[21:31:14] <Umbravo> I probably jus tweakly drop it near me guys calm down
[21:31:17] <Umbravo> or throw it backward
[21:31:22] <Aurelien_> Kills me
[21:31:39] <~DM> The barrel suddenly grows in size and takes on real dimension, but it only travels a scant 5 feet before colliding with the earth and rolling, with a thud, near the base of the sarcophagus.
[21:31:45] <~DM> Init and actions. Jaq, you have arrived.
[21:31:52] <Quintis> Having played plenty IRL sessions, I can say Dice Maiden rolls more critical failures than actual dice
[21:31:59] <Umbravo> I was afraid it'd fly back into the flaming sphere and burn before I could uncloth it
[21:32:21] <Jaq> sophie will follow me down
[21:32:28] <~DM> I'll gladly use another dicebot
[21:32:30] <~DM> if someone builds it
[21:32:31] <~DM> ;v
[21:32:58] * Aurelien (uid251590@Rizon-7AD0635E.tooting.irccloud.com) Quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
[21:33:31] <Aurelien_> Is Garavus still in line with uh, Asmith for a Color Spray?
[21:33:34] <Quintis> 1d10+2 I want to call out to my party "Stake that vampire, quickly!" and then guard against the next attack
[21:33:34] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, I want to call out to my party "Stake that vampire, quickly!" and then guard against the next attack: 6 [1d10=4]
[21:33:39] <~DM> Yes
[21:33:44] <~DM> He hasn't moved
[21:33:44] <Aurelien_> Can I angle it so I don't hit Garavus?
[21:33:46] <~DM> No
[21:33:47] <~DM> He is like
[21:33:49] <~DM> In a straight line
[21:33:51] <Umbravo> sorry

[21:34:26] <Umbravo> finnne
[21:34:34] <Aurelien_> Kurja, make the sunlight now that we know where to put it
[21:34:41] <~DM> Inits and actions from everyone other than Quintis, who is guarding
[21:34:58] <~DM> (Quintis, hard parry, or reduce your AC by 1/2 your level?)
[21:35:05] <Kurja> 1d10+1 doin' mystic mirrors
[21:35:06] <DiceMaiden> Kurja, doin' mystic mirrors: 6 [1d10=5]
[21:35:06] <Umbravo> 1d10+1 I'll fuckin' rush over there and pull a stake out in my left hand. Can I hammer with the pommel of my sword?
[21:35:06] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, I'll fuckin' rush over there and pull a stake out in my left hand. Can I hammer with the pommel of my sword?: 8 [1d10=7]
[21:35:07] <Jaq> heading toward the open sarcophagus to stake
[21:35:15] <Umbravo> uh kurja
[21:35:20] <Umbravo> the water barrel is available
[21:35:24] <Aurelien_> We know
[21:35:28] <Aurelien_> It's called tactics, look it up
[21:35:32] <Umbravo> :( oh fine
[21:35:32] <Aurelien_> We're setting up a gauntlet
[21:35:42] <~DM> Umbravo, you can try
[21:35:42] <Aurelien_> I'm holding
[21:35:45] <Umbravo> ok
[21:36:00] <Aurelien_> I'm holding for Feeblemind in case that fucking vampire jumps out
[21:36:51] <~DM> Alright. Assuming Quintis is going full defense, the nameless knight lunges forward, hacking with his great blade. It slithers dully through the air, and Quintis catches it on his shield with a great CRAAAACK.
[21:37:34] <~DM> Kurja's magic and spellwork resounds in thunderous power through the room, and the mirrors begin to float from his hand as he draws them from his pack, their polished surfaces reflecting a faint oval of light.
[21:37:51] <~DM> Kurja, I assume you are angling one at the top of the ladder, and then the rest to cast the light onto the central sarcophagus?
[21:37:58] <Kurja> Yes
[21:38:07] <~DM> Very well. An oval of light appears on the lid.
[21:38:07] <Kurja> It is a forty foot square of light
[21:38:34] <~DM> Right, but it will suffuse the area surrounding that spot
[21:38:45] <Kurja> Right
[21:38:53] <~DM> SIeur Asmith lets out a pained groan and shriek, pulling the lid the rest of the way over.
[21:39:03] <~DM> Jaq and Garavus arrive within seconds of each other
[21:39:07] <~DM> But now the turn is over.
[21:39:10] <~DM> Init and actions
[21:39:26] <Quintis> 1d10+2 Full defense with the bastard-sword knight
[21:39:26] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, Full defense with the bastard-sword knight: 6 [1d10=4]
[21:39:29] <Umbravo> One of us will stake it, jaq is a better fighter
[21:39:35] <Umbravo> 1d10+1 I STAKE THE VAMP
[21:39:35] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, I STAKE THE VAMP: 6 [1d10=5]
[21:39:44] <Aurelien_> Same story, I'm waiting to try and Feeblemind this guy if this goes wrong
[21:39:45] <Kurja> 1d10 levitating my mirrors
[21:39:45] <DiceMaiden> Kurja, levitating my mirrors: 4 [1d10=4]

[21:40:37] <~DM> Alright.
[21:40:38] <Aurelien_> Umbravo you coulda let Jaq do it mane
[21:40:41] <~DM> Garavus, you alone see
[21:42:03] <~DM> Sulpicius Severus, the Last Schoolman, in the depths of the stone coffin. He is pale as death, and clean shaven. He has a sneering face, but one that was once probably not unlovely. Long black hair frames his pallid features, and he wears an intricate robe of black cloth that is knit with bronze plates. He presses himself deep into the shadows, his ancient eyes filled with a terrific fear, playing over the rays of sunlight pouring onto the
[21:42:03] <~DM>  upper lip of his sarcophagus.
[21:42:20] <~DM> You move one of the bronze plates and place the stake over his heart. He looks up at you, his eyes pleading.
[21:42:22] <~DM> Save vs. spell
[21:42:34] <Umbravo> f
[21:42:39] <Quintis> Fuck me
[21:42:44] <Aurelien_> lol
[21:42:49] <Umbravo> This is charm right?
[21:42:54] <Aurelien_> Absolutely
[21:42:55] <Umbravo> 1d20 vs 13
[21:42:56] <~DM> Yes
[21:42:56] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, vs 13: 17 [1d20=17]
[21:43:01] <Aurelien_> YEAH!
[21:43:07] <Aurelien_> You fuckin beast
[21:43:07] <~DM> "Do you know the secrets I could—"
[21:43:10] <~DM> WHACK!
[21:43:11] <Aurelien_> HRK
[21:43:18] <Umbravo> good sound effect
[21:43:26] <~DM> The stake pierces the cloth and the first layer of skin.
[21:43:29] <~DM> Blood begins to well up.
[21:43:50] <~DM> He closes his eyes, a soft hiss escaping from his lips, long fangs now visible where his lips have curled back.
[21:43:51] <~DM> WHACK!
[21:43:59] <~DM> The blood pours from the wound, and you hammer furiously.
[21:44:00] <~DM> WHACK!
[21:44:11] <~DM> It is deep black now, thick and vile, and Severus is deathly still.
[21:44:34] <~DM> The bastard-sword knight hammers at Quintis, but Quintis interposes his shield again; a flake of wood is chipped from its face.
[21:44:49] <~DM> Jaq, too, defends herself with footwork and blade, from Sieur Asmith.
[21:44:57] <Aurelien_> Expose his prone form to the light, now, Garavus.
[21:45:00] <~DM> Severus is still.
[21:45:01] <~DM> Init and actions.
[21:45:04] <Aurelien_> Wait uh
[21:45:05] <Aurelien_> Maybe not
[21:45:11] <Umbravo> I'll chop his head off
[21:45:18] <Aurelien_> Wait
[21:45:20] <Umbravo> wait?
[21:45:20] <Aurelien_> WAIT DAWG
[21:45:22] <Aurelien_> THE SPELLS
[21:45:26] <Quintis> 1d10+2 Full defense and screaming "Finish it!"
[21:45:26] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, Full defense and screaming "Finish it!": 7 [1d10=5]
[21:45:30] <Aurelien_> Nah
[21:45:31] <Aurelien_> Finish it
[21:45:32] <Aurelien_> :(
[21:45:37] <Umbravo> 1d10+1 cut his head off
[21:45:37] <DiceMaiden> Umbravo, cut his head off: 7 [1d10=6]
[21:46:04] <~DM> Garavus' sword hews into pallid vampiric flesh.
[21:46:06] <Umbravo> ok this light spell is boss as fuck
[21:46:08] <~DM> There is a sudden sound from without
[21:46:22] <~DM> CRA-A-A-A-ACK! Like thunder, like thunder coming through the earth, like the end of all things.
[21:46:31] <~DM> It is followed by a rumble as Garavus hews frantically.
[21:46:38] <Aurelien_> Good god
[21:46:43] <Umbravo> The dungeon collapses on us
[21:46:44] <~DM> Sieur Asmith sways on his feet, and the knight with the big blade tumbles to earth.
[21:46:58] <~DM> Dust, stone dust, fills the chamber, and the rumbling dies away.
[21:47:15] <Aurelien_> Is Kurja's light still streaming in from above?
[21:47:21] <~DM> Yes
[21:47:25] <Aurelien_> This petty mother fucker seriously
[21:47:29] <Aurelien_> destroyed his own spellwork
[21:47:31] <Kurja> The library
[21:47:35] <Umbravo> Ahh
[21:47:37] <~DM> Everyone receives 2,600 experience
[21:47:39] <Kurja> What a fuck head
[21:47:44] <Aurelien_> I'm gonna cast Gaze Reflection.
[21:47:46] <Umbravo> Is that what you were worried about?
[21:47:47] <Aurelien_> We are gonna deal
[21:47:50] <Aurelien_> with these other vampires
[21:47:53] <Aurelien_> Yeah, it absolutely is man
[21:47:56] <Aurelien_> I'm a wizard :(
[21:47:59] <Umbravo> yeah that sucks
[21:48:00] <Kurja> Same
[21:48:03] <~DM> Fighters receive 80 additional experience
[21:48:13] <Aurelien_> But I mean ultimately, we are doing good and that's what matters.
[21:48:13] <~DM> Aurelien receives 150 experience
[21:48:13] <Umbravo> Time to get stakin' on the other vampires
[21:48:17] <Quintis> I think the fact that we got the Big Un' here means his children are also spent but best we CHECK
[21:48:22] <~DM> Kurja receives 500 experience
[21:48:22] <Kurja> I frown but keep my mirrors in place, floating there.
[21:48:28] <Aurelien_> No it means they are FREE
[21:48:30] <Umbravo> Yep
[21:48:35] <Aurelien_> So we have to stake them
[21:48:35] <~DM> Quintis receives 2,000 experience for completing his penance
[21:48:37] <Aurelien_> All of them
[21:48:49] <Quintis> Done deal
[21:48:52] <~DM> Everyone receives 1,000 quest experience
[21:48:55] <~DM> But we must stop here
[21:48:58] <~DM> In the basement of the hall
[21:49:00] <Aurelien_> Fucking hell
[21:49:04] <~DM> Because I have a client meeting tomrorow
[21:49:05] <~DM> at 9
[21:49:08] <Aurelien_> that's fair
[21:49:08] <~DM> an hour away
[21:49:11] <Aurelien_> I hope you sleep well
[21:49:13] <Umbravo> man
[21:49:15] <Aurelien_> We killed him but
[21:49:17] <Umbravo> I'm gonna get
[21:49:23] <Aurelien_> at probably the cost of almost all the magic we could have gained
[21:49:24] <Quintis> I did not expect that
[21:49:25] <Umbravo> So much wasted xp
[21:49:27] <Aurelien_> Maybe we'll be able to salvage some
[21:49:28] <Umbravo> that doesn't level me up anymore
[21:49:32] <Aurelien_> I didn't expect it to go this well
[21:49:35] <Aurelien_> honestly
[21:49:41] <~DM> Kurja's mirrors
[21:49:43] <~DM> basically won the fight
[21:49:46] <Umbravo> Yep
[21:49:46] <Quintis> I mean yeah
[21:49:52] <Umbravo> they kept him from jumping out of the coffin
[21:50:01] <Aurelien_> KSo fuckin awesome
[21:50:09] <Quintis> We DID specifically spend time so Kurja could make vampire killing spells
[21:50:14] <Quintis> And sunlight is instant Game Over
[21:50:14] <Aurelien_> Do NPCs gain quest xp?
[21:50:19] <~DM> Yeah
[21:50:20] <Kurja> Yeah
[21:50:20] <Umbravo> lol fuck
[21:50:22] <~DM> That's the only xp they gain
[21:50:24] <Kurja> That was a good spell
[21:50:25] <Aurelien_> haha
[21:50:27] <~DM> Since they weren't part of the fight
[21:50:27] <Aurelien_> Fair enough
[21:50:34] <~DM> I didn't divide Sulpicius xp amongst them
[21:50:38] <Kurja> I think uh Frank had the original basic idea, I just fleshed it out
[21:50:40] <Aurelien_> Makes sense
[21:50:43] <Kurja> That spell
[21:50:45] <Aurelien_> Dude it is a killer spell
[21:50:48] <Aurelien_> it worked beautifully
[21:50:50] <Umbravo> I've got 13,403, enough to be level 5, but I need to fuckin' rest to do it
[21:51:00] <Aurelien_> AND we had the water there just in case
[21:51:00] <Quintis> I am addicted to making spells
[21:51:06] <Umbravo> yeh
[21:51:09] <Aurelien_> the sunlight will still let us deal with these two other vampires
[21:51:09] <Kurja> Yeah, I love making spells
[21:51:13] <Umbravo> Yeah
[21:51:14] <Quintis> my IRL party wizard has dozens listed down to create
[21:51:14] <~DM> AZIZ
[21:51:15] <~DM> LIGHT
[21:51:19] <Kurja> lol
[21:51:19] <Quintis> Haha
[21:51:19] <Aurelien_> then we basically have a couple of "hours" to deal with the rest of them
[21:51:19] <Umbravo> aziz light is the best spell
[21:51:20] <Aurelien_> right?
[21:51:30] <Umbravo> Yeah we should
[21:51:35] <Jaq> aziz light?
[21:51:40] <Umbravo> fifth element
[21:51:41] <Quintis> The Fifth Element
[21:51:45] <Jaq> ah
[21:51:53] <~DM> lol man if you had come
[21:51:56] <~DM> during any night
[21:51:59] <~DM> It would have been so so so bad
[21:52:01] <~DM> This was great
[21:52:02] <Aurelien_> we would have just been turbo killed
[21:52:04] <Aurelien_> DM tell me now
[21:52:05] <~DM> Yeah
[21:52:07] <Aurelien_> Are we gonna be able to recover
[21:52:10] <Aurelien_> any magic
[21:52:12] <~DM> gangraped by 6 vampurs
[21:52:12] <Aurelien_> from this asshole?
[21:52:14] <~DM> You will recover
[21:52:16] <~DM> The Brass Rod
[21:52:16] <Quintis> Of course we'd be killed fighting vampires at night
[21:52:17] <~DM> His staff
[21:52:19] <Quintis> We're not THAT dumb
[21:52:24] <~DM> From the School of the Brass Rod
[21:52:28] <~DM> Made in ancient Miles
[21:52:32] <Aurelien_> That is pretty dope
[21:52:32] <~DM> When magic was fresh and strong
[21:52:41] <Umbravo> yeah I was gonna ask if his body had like
[21:52:42] <Umbravo> rings and shit
[21:52:42] <Aurelien_> I will of course be examining these things myself, if that's all right with y'all
[21:52:49] <Quintis> I am 3,100 from leveling
[21:52:51] <Aurelien_> since I have a colossal ability to ID magic items
[21:52:53] <Kurja> Kill the others
[21:52:56] <Umbravo> Sounds good
[21:52:59] <Kurja> C'mon guys, finish the job
[21:52:59] <Aurelien_> I'm about the same distance from leveling up too
[21:53:02] <Umbravo> Yeah we'll kill the other 2 in this room
[21:53:04] <Aurelien_> We'll probably level
[21:53:06] <Umbravo> We can't, DM is going to bed
[21:53:07] <~DM> Ok, well, I can probably
[21:53:08] <~DM> handle that
[21:53:10] <Umbravo> oh ok
[21:53:11] <~DM> Since the others are
[21:53:12] <~DM> His apprentice
[21:53:16] <~DM> and Great Master Endreth
[21:53:17] <~DM> of Essad
[21:53:19] <Aurelien_> haha
[21:53:22] <Umbravo> are great masters wizards?
[21:53:23] <~DM> And you can stake them while they are pinned
[21:53:23] <Aurelien_> How'd that guy get here?
[21:53:35] <Umbravo> He was probably in the arx right?
[21:53:37] <Kurja> He was passing through to get to the Vales
[21:53:38] <~DM> lol he was leading the Essadi army
[21:53:41] <Umbravo> yeah
[21:53:41] <~DM> And Hydrophis fucked his shit up
[21:53:43] <Umbravo> lol
[21:53:45] <~DM> And so he fled into the wild
[21:53:47] <~DM> and encountered
[21:53:49] <~DM> a worse bad thing
[21:53:51] <~DM> than Hydrophis
[21:53:53] <Umbravo> lol
[21:53:56] <Kurja> Hydro fucked him up in the night
[21:54:01] <~DM> Ok
[21:54:05] <~DM> Between those two
[21:54:08] <~DM> That's uh
[21:54:14] <Aurelien_> Then we have the three in the small hall
[21:54:15] <~DM> 16,000 split five ways
[21:54:20] <Umbravo> fucking overflow XP limit
[21:54:24] <~DM> 3,200
[21:54:27] <~DM> more xp
[21:54:28] <~DM> each
[21:54:28] <Aurelien_> And uh, the two in the tower?
[21:54:31] <Umbravo> so I can only have
[21:54:37] <Umbravo> halfway to level 6 right?
[21:54:46] <Aurelien_> lol
[21:54:49] <~DM> Yes
[21:54:49] <Aurelien_> XP Haul
[21:54:50] <Umbravo> and everything else
[21:54:54] <Umbravo> spills out into the ether
[21:54:54] <Quintis> I think I leveled?
[21:54:56] <Umbravo> forever lost
[21:55:03] <Aurelien_> Oh sorry I'm the same distance away from leveling as you quintis
[21:55:06] <Aurelien_> but times te
[21:55:07] <Aurelien_> ten*
[21:55:10] <~DM> lol
[21:55:17] <Quintis> Well I am lower level than you
[21:55:22] <Quintis> and you're a wizard
[21:55:28] <~DM> Level 6 now though
[21:55:31] <Umbravo> guys I wanted to go to the inn and fuck around with gold for a good reason
[21:55:34] <~DM> 1 level away from multiple attacks
[21:55:45] <Jaq> I'm trying to get to 900k
[21:55:49] <Umbravo> .
[21:55:50] <Umbravo> 900?
[21:55:57] <Quintis> Yes I leveled, 36,180
[21:55:59] <Jaq> yes
[21:56:11] <Jaq> I am at 606k
[21:56:20] <Quintis> 1d10
[21:56:20] <DiceMaiden> Quintis, 1d10: 1 [1d10=1]
[21:56:22] <Quintis> Tee hee
[21:56:25] <Umbravo> ~_~
[21:56:26] <Umbravo> on
[21:56:28] <Umbravo> no don't roll it
[21:56:32] <Umbravo> you can't level until we rest
[21:56:36] <~DM> Yeah you haven't actually
[21:56:37] <Quintis> Oh shit
[21:56:38] <~DM> gained your level
[21:56:38] <Umbravo> so that horrible hp doesn't count
[21:56:45] <~DM> You still have leagues to go
[21:56:47] <~DM> before you sleep
[21:56:51] <Quintis> Haha
[21:56:53] <~DM> But I have none, I must sleep now
[21:56:54] <Umbravo> we aren't gonna get much benefit
[21:57:00] <Umbravo> out of all these vamps we kill now
[21:57:01] <Quintis> Fair enough
[21:57:11] <Umbravo> Oh dm
[21:57:20] <Aurelien_> I'll reap plenty of benefit
[21:57:21] <Umbravo> Sulpicius isn't actually dead right?
[21:57:22] <Kurja> Man, we got fuckin lucky
[21:57:26] <Umbravo> He's just an angry disembodied head
[21:57:28] <Aurelien_> Jaq and I need like a hundred and fifty thousand xp
[21:57:30] <~DM> lol Quintis can gain up to
[21:57:32] <Aurelien_> or some insane shit
[21:57:32] <Umbravo> I'll stuff garlic in his mouth
[21:57:34] <~DM> 19,500 more xp
[21:57:35] <~DM> so
[21:57:37] <Umbravo> oh ok
[21:57:46] <Aurelien_> Jaq needs like 300,000 xp
[21:57:49] <Quintis> Hope I don't cap out :V
[21:57:52] <Aurelien_> so I'm really getting off hilariously lightly
[21:57:54] <~DM> Yes, Sulpicius Severus is a disembodied head
[21:57:59] <~DM> As is his student, Simplicius Novice
[21:58:03] <~DM> and as is Great Master Endreth
[21:58:06] <Quintis> Make them kiss
[21:58:10] <~DM> lol gross
[21:58:10] <Umbravo> good thing I have 4 heads
[21:58:13] <Aurelien_> an they work their jaws?
[21:58:15] <Kurja> lol, such a great degrading name for his apprentice
[21:58:17] <Umbravo> Does anyone else have garlic?
[21:58:25] <Umbravo> we're gonna have to carry a bunch of heads around until we get some more
[21:58:28] <Umbravo> ...unless I'm wrong
[21:58:34] <Aurelien_> Let's stack them up later
[21:58:37] <Aurelien_> and I'll Fireball them
[21:58:39] <Quintis> Crossroad burying
[21:58:42] <~DM> lol yeah
[21:58:44] <~DM> You gotta bury that shit
[21:58:48] <Umbravo> yeah we have to bury them
[21:58:48] <Kurja> We need to bury them at a crossroads
[21:58:51] <Umbravo> The sunlight won't even kill them
[21:58:51] <~DM> if they are ever united to an unstaked body without that
[21:58:53] <~DM> They will just
[21:58:54] <~DM> come back
[21:58:55] <Quintis> But I would like to bury Severus where I can watch over him
[21:59:09] <Aurelien_> Crossroads burial takes them out forever though?
[21:59:14] <Quintis> Ideally
[21:59:17] <Aurelien_> Or they can just be exumed any time?
[21:59:17] <~DM> As long as they remain
[21:59:17] <Quintis> Unless Magic*
[21:59:18] <~DM> buried there
[21:59:23] <Aurelien_> Is there any way to get rid of them forever?
[21:59:26] <~DM> No
[21:59:30] <Quintis> Edge of the World
[21:59:32] <Aurelien_> They're
[21:59:34] <~DM> Yeah that
[21:59:34] <Umbravo> You played myth right?
[21:59:36] <Aurelien_> Nokia Invincible Heads?
[21:59:41] <Quintis> Literally
[21:59:42] <Quintis> Myth I
[21:59:43] <~DM> You can fuck them up
[21:59:44] <~DM> But uh
[21:59:45] <Aurelien_> They're Taken
[21:59:46] <~DM> Then they will be
[21:59:48] <~DM> SUPER fucked up
[21:59:48] <~DM> heads
[21:59:51] <Aurelien_> lol
[21:59:55] <Umbravo> wait
[21:59:59] <Aurelien_> HE'S FUCKING LIMPER
[22:00:00] <Umbravo> They never go away even when buried?
[22:00:01] <Aurelien_> Fuck this guy
[22:00:08] <Umbravo> I thought they like, faded away in the dirt
[22:00:13] <Quintis> Nah burial 100% works, forgot about that
[22:00:16] <~DM> lol
[22:00:23] <Aurelien_> All right. I say we fucking bury them encased in fucking concrete
[22:00:26] <Aurelien_> that I'll personally enchant
[22:00:27] <Aurelien_> to kill anyone
[22:00:29] <Aurelien_> with radiation
[22:00:31] <Aurelien_> that digs it up
[22:00:31] <Umbravo> fucking
[22:00:32] <~DM> This is why people make dungeons
[22:00:33] <Quintis> Crossroad*
[22:00:33] <Umbravo> make the cube
[22:00:36] <Umbravo> lol dm
[22:00:36] <Umbravo> yes
[22:00:42] <Umbravo> Time to spend all the gold we found
[22:00:43] <~DM> Dig a horrible crossroads dungeon
[22:00:44] <Umbravo> building a dungeon
[22:00:49] <~DM> to hide the head of Sulpicius Severus
[22:00:58] <Umbravo> Remember when that priest asked us to make a quarry?
[22:00:58] <Aurelien_> What if I actually invent a spell
[22:01:01] <Aurelien_> to shoot him
[22:01:01] <~DM> But make a back door so you can wake it and consult it from time to time
[22:01:01] <Aurelien_> into
[22:01:03] <Aurelien_> space?
[22:01:04] <~DM> lol
[22:01:06] <Umbravo> he'll be
[22:01:09] <~DM> Then he'd be united with
[22:01:09] <Quintis> Space Vampires, GG
[22:01:10] <~DM> Mother Night
[22:01:17] <Aurelien_> Perfect
[22:01:19] <~DM> She could give him a body woven of shadows
[22:01:19] <Umbravo> a horrible enemy we encounter in spelljammer
[22:01:20] <Aurelien_> Mother May I
[22:01:22] <~DM> and send him back as a demigod
[22:01:23] <Umbravo> awful dm
[22:01:27] <Umbravo> ok
[22:01:31] <Umbravo> what if we put his head in a sack
[22:01:34] <Umbravo> and carry him to the underworld
[22:01:36] <Aurelien_> Sulpicius Tenebrous
[22:01:36] <Umbravo> Akem's city
[22:01:59] <Quintis> Since burying them
[22:02:00] <Aurelien_> After these three are staked
[22:02:00] <~DM> Your best bet is to like pound their ashes into a powder and scatter it
[22:02:02] <Quintis> at a crossrad works
[22:02:04] <~DM> And bury the heads
[22:02:06] <Quintis> that's what WE'LL do
[22:02:07] <~DM> at a crossrud
[22:02:08] <~DM> lol
[22:02:09] <Aurelien_> I'm gonna kneel right down and pray
[22:02:11] <Umbravo> DM is saying that their heads
[22:02:13] <Aurelien_> to Galos for strength
[22:02:20] <Aurelien_> to keep doing this awful shit
[22:02:22] <Umbravo> will be as vital if anyone digs them up
[22:02:22] <Quintis> I'm burying Severus's head at a crossroad
[22:02:23] <Aurelien_> and to Akem to keep them
[22:02:24] <Quintis> and anyoe else
[22:02:25] <~DM> The heads will remain inanimate
[22:02:25] <Aurelien_> as deas
[22:02:27] <Aurelien_> dead
[22:02:28] <Aurelien_> as possible*
[22:02:29] <~DM> Unless they are united
[22:02:29] <Quintis> that has a different idea
[22:02:32] <~DM> with the remains of their body
[22:02:42] <Aurelien_> You know what
[22:02:45] <Aurelien_> I'm going to actually
[22:02:49] <Quintis> Become a vampire
[22:02:51] <Aurelien_> pound it into a powder
[22:02:52] <~DM> lol
[22:02:55] <Aurelien_> and then sneak it into flour
[22:02:56] <Aurelien_> in Miles
[22:02:56] <Umbravo> Before we pull his body into the light
[22:02:58] <Umbravo> to burn
[22:02:59] <Quintis> Full alignment change
[22:03:02] <Umbravo> I want to take all the jewellry and stuff off him
[22:03:04] <~DM> The Mad Miller
[22:03:06] <Kurja> lol
[22:03:07] <Umbravo> so I can get the full effect of curses
[22:03:08] <Quintis> Full campaign change
[22:03:13] <Aurelien_> Oh yeah
[22:03:13] <~DM> Sweeney Todd
[22:03:16] <Aurelien_> Last last thing
[22:03:18] <~DM> The Demon Barber of D&D Street
[22:03:24] <Aurelien_> I see any magic in these sarcophagi?
[22:03:28] <~DM> The Brass Rod
[22:03:39] <~DM> It is a man-height staff made completely of brass
[22:03:44] <~DM> and woven with Maidic runes of ancient age
[22:03:50] <~DM> Capped with a globe of brass
[22:03:54] <Aurelien_> Can I tell anything about it spell schools or anything?
[22:03:57] <~DM> and worked with magical words of authority
[22:04:11] <~DM> Not without identify
[22:04:15] <Kurja> Gonna have to do an Identi
[22:04:16] <Aurelien_> Later days then
[22:04:16] <Kurja> that
[22:04:17] <Kurja> V:
[22:04:24] <Quintis> It's probably uh
[22:04:25] <Umbravo> man that's all? fuk
[22:04:28] <Quintis> Real powerful actually
[22:04:32] <Umbravo> We should've snuck into the library and gotten hit with all his traps instead
[22:04:37] <Aurelien_> I'll take off my cloak and wrap it up without actually touching the metal
[22:04:41] <Umbravo> or just
[22:04:43] <Umbravo> left his staked body
[22:04:45] <Aurelien_> and then tie it around it
[22:04:48] <Umbravo> like you almost told me to
[22:04:52] <~DM> Yeah left him until nightfall
[22:04:54] <Umbravo> lol
[22:04:55] <Quintis> Imagine how long
[22:04:57] <~DM> When one of his servants could creep down
[22:04:58] <Quintis> Quintis would wait
[22:04:59] <~DM> and pull that plug
[22:05:01] <Umbravo> Well I just meant
[22:05:02] <Quintis> to drag him out in to the sun
[22:05:03] <~DM> lol
[22:05:09] <Umbravo> lol
[22:05:12] <~DM> Alec my guess is
[22:05:14] <Aurelien_> PULL THAT PLUG
[22:05:14] <Umbravo> well I was gonna say quintis could wait to do it
[22:05:15] <~DM> "Until Garavus was in the tower"
[22:05:20] <Umbravo> but I guess he would've just
[22:05:22] <Quintis> lol
[22:05:26] <Umbravo> immediately pulled hi mout
[22:05:35] <Quintis> Yeah try to explain to Quintis
[22:05:48] <Quintis> Nooo, there's power to be had~! Let me get it! Let me get the vampire's magics! yes! yes!
[22:05:49] <~DM> lol this was so weird
[22:05:59] <~DM> I was ready initially
[22:06:02] <~DM> for a uh
[22:06:10] <~DM> Like a whole beyond-the-pale faerie tale nightmarescape
[22:06:17] <~DM> Of you guys arriving at night and trying to visit with the lord
[22:06:21] <~DM> And being at his weird creepy party
[22:06:22] <~DM> and shit
[22:06:25] <Umbravo> haha
[22:06:29] <Umbravo> Is that what that shit was?
[22:06:31] <Aurelien_> So in a tantrum you killed
[22:06:33] <Aurelien_> every NPC
[22:06:34] <~DM> But instead you made him so scared that he killed everyone
[22:06:35] <Umbravo> lol
[22:06:36] <Aurelien_> you were gonna place there
[22:06:43] <Umbravo> lol
[22:06:44] <Umbravo> FUCK
[22:06:45] <Aurelien_> He actually freaked out
[22:06:47] <Umbravo> we killed the one guy
[22:06:47] <Aurelien_> and killed them
[22:06:51] <Aurelien_> because of like, me?
[22:06:56] <Umbravo> and he was so scared he killed the courtiers I saw
[22:06:56] <~DM> You and Quintis
[22:07:02] <Aurelien_> He was like, aw FUCK
[22:07:05] <Umbravo> Did he kill them
[22:07:10] <~DM> lol those people at the village weren't evacuating becuase they were free
[22:07:11] <Umbravo> BEFORE aurelien showed up or after?
[22:07:16] <~DM> They were evacuating because he sent men to be like
[22:07:16] <~DM> Yo
[22:07:22] <~DM> There's a band of murdering sorcerers and knights
[22:07:23] <~DM> run
[22:07:25] <~DM> they will kill you all
[22:07:25] <Aurelien_> ahaha
[22:07:26] <Umbravo> lol
[22:07:29] <Aurelien_> Awesome
[22:07:33] <Kurja> By the way, after they stake these vampires and behead them, I will gently lower my silvered mirrors one by one and place them into my pack.
[22:07:41] <Aurelien_> Why did his fear make him kill them?
[22:07:45] <Kurja> That's expensive shit.
[22:07:53] <~DM> Liabilities
[22:07:56] <~DM> He wanted the castle to be quiet
[22:07:59] <Umbravo> THEY KNOW TOO MUCH
[22:08:00] <~DM> so his messengers could wake him up
[22:08:01] <Aurelien_> ahahaha
[22:08:02] <~DM> if you came
[22:08:03] <Aurelien_> Good god
[22:08:11] <Umbravo> man
[22:08:12] <Aurelien_> I'm glad he went down in a blaze
[22:08:13] <Umbravo> that sucks
[22:08:15] <Aurelien_> of paranoid terror
[22:08:20] <Aurelien_> at least
[22:08:22] <Umbravo> They were normal humans
[22:08:22] <~DM> His actual plan was
[22:08:24] <~DM> To get warned
[22:08:28] <~DM> as you neared the village
[22:08:30] <~DM> be woken up
[22:08:36] <~DM> and then use his one seventh level spell slot
[22:08:38] <~DM> To blot out the sun with clouds
[22:08:40] <~DM> and be like
[22:08:40] <~DM> haha
[22:08:42] <~DM> now I am unstoppable
[22:08:47] <Umbravo> Yeah I figured he would blot out the sun if he was awake
[22:08:50] <~DM> and all my stupid coterie is here too
[22:08:50] <Aurelien_> IT'S ON NOW
[22:08:52] <Umbravo> I was scared he was going to do it
[22:08:53] <Umbravo> every day
[22:08:57] <Quintis> Yeah
[22:08:59] <Aurelien_> That makes sense
[22:09:04] <Quintis> I was worried about that a lot
[22:09:06] <Aurelien_> so my call to go the long way and not risk alarming anyone
[22:09:08] <Aurelien_> was the better call
[22:09:13] <~DM> It was the only possible call
[22:09:14] <Umbravo> yep
[22:09:18] <Kurja> Definitely
[22:09:18] <~DM> Unless you somehow killed all the alarmmen
[22:09:21] <~DM> before they reached him
[22:09:32] <Aurelien_> I could have maybe, but I wouldn't have then been able to fight him
[22:09:40] <Aurelien_> at all
[22:09:44] <Kurja> We got lucky with Umbravo killing that knight at the smithy too
[22:09:51] <Umbravo> yeah
[22:09:56] <Aurelien_> Now I have plenty of fun spells left to blow up these remainign vampires if they put up a fight
[22:09:58] <Aurelien_> but uh
[22:10:06] <Aurelien_> I'm telling you right the fuck now Vortor
[22:10:14] <Aurelien_> if you don't leave me the option of casting a spell
[22:10:19] <Aurelien_> I'm just gonna cast it next time
[22:10:22] <Umbravo> :(
[22:10:31] <Aurelien_> and it won't
[22:10:33] <Umbravo> I thought that he'd be like
[22:10:34] <Aurelien_> stun you
[22:10:35] <Umbravo> on a mound
[22:10:36] <Umbravo> like the other guy
[22:10:39] <Kurja> If we want to haul that stupid barrel up I can block off vampurs
[22:10:40] <Umbravo> and just need to be shaken
[22:10:46] <Umbravo> Not in a big thing that would take 2 rounds for a guy to push open
[22:10:47] <Aurelien_> I thought he'd be surrounded by writhing women and chained tigers like Conan
[22:10:54] <Kurja> lol
[22:11:02] <Quintis> I thought he'd be IN the library
[22:11:10] <Kurja> Me too
[22:11:18] <Aurelien_> I thought he was a stress hallucination of Quintis's
[22:11:20] <~DM> ok gents I gotta sleep
[22:11:21] <Umbravo> Item's effect is gone now right?
[22:11:25] <~DM> zeynep I hope that was instructive
[22:11:29] <Umbravo> we can't just turn it back on?
[22:11:30] <~DM> And that you can play next thursday
[22:11:31] <Kurja> Thanks for the game, DM
[22:11:35] <Aurelien_> Thanks for game bro
[22:11:37] <~DM> night folx
[22:11:39] <Aurelien_> have a good night
[22:11:55] <Quintis> Night
[22:11:55] * Umbravo squints
[22:12:00] * Quintis is now known as Rondo
[22:12:07] <Umbravo> Shouldn't jaq already have 600k? I thought she was level 10
[22:12:13] * Kurja is now known as Cryo
[22:12:21] <Aurelien_> I feel bad for that knight I killed
[22:12:24] <Aurelien_> but it had to be done :(
[22:12:28] <Umbravo> me too
[22:12:35] <Jaq> yeah dude
[22:12:37] <Aurelien_> Otherwise we would have just been mice in a blender down here
[22:12:44] <Umbravo> yeah
[22:12:45] <Cryo> Meh, humans are mayflies
[22:12:47] <Cryo> J;
[22:12:47] <Jaq> I ahve 606k
[22:12:48] <Aurelien_> lol
[22:12:53] <Umbravo> Oh ok jaq
[22:12:53] <Aurelien_> thanks Kurja
[22:12:55] <Jaq> but I still have to get to 900k
22:12:55] <Umbravo> I misunderstood
[22:12:59] <Umbravo> man
[22:13:00] <Aurelien_> You still feel your mind expanding?
[22:13:02] <Aurelien_> You fucking weirdo
[22:13:02] <Umbravo> Leveling up is slow
[22:13:07] <Cryo> lol
[22:13:11] <Cryo> Genuine lol
[22:13:11] <Aurelien_> ELVES, Aurelien thinks angrily
