* Now talking in #adventure
* Politoed ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
<Moonside> So... are we doing it today?
<Deathfish64> We're currently missing eltro
<Deathfish64> But yeah i think so
<Moonside> I see.
<Deathfish64> I don't need to sleep early tonight so it's not too bad if we start late
<Deathfish64> At least on my end
<~flibbyjibbits> im time limited because im at home and cant be up too late
<Moonside> Meh.
<Deathfish64> Do we know where eltro went?
<Deathfish64> he's been gone a while it seems
<Arkay> Probably asleep
<Arkay> Just because he's been up all night
<Politoed> What a tool
<~flibbyjibbits> my family is upset with me because ive just been sitting here waiting 3 hours
* Eltriuqs ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
* CommodoreJim ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
<Politoed> Avengers! Assemble!
* Politoed is now known as Skeleton
<Moonside> Yay.
<Deathfish64> woo
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #adventure
* Rejoined channel #adventure
* Moonside ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)
<~flibbyjibbits> ok so
<Moon> We had just finished killing some invisible things.
<Deathfish64> Oh yeah I missed the end of that fight
<Deathfish64> Did I die?
<Moon> I don't think you even got hit.
<Deathfish64> oh, that's nice
<Deathfish64> They must not have tried
<Skeleton> They really hated Drom and Tombs.
<CommodoreJim> Luckily I was pretty much immune to poison
<CommodoreJim> Tombs, however...
<Moon> At the end, they turned into shiny dust that Pikkup and Lotte figured out might be useful against shadow stuff.
<Skeleton> 'Bitch I'm half-orc, my blood is poison'
<Skeleton> On that note, go ahead and start without me while I eat dinner, I won't be too long
<~flibbyjibbits> just waiting for people to do stuff
<Deathfish64> I will leave doing-stuff-decisions to someone who knows more than a brief run-down of where we ended up last tim
<Deathfish64> time*
<Moon> Ok.
<~flibbyjibbits> so
<Moon> ...if flib's not going to say anything, then I'll ask Freddie to use that spell oh wait.
<CommodoreJim> I have no real clue. What was it we were going off to do again? Something about finding shit for a dragon to have melted down into armor?
<Moon> Freddie would use his lights spell to call the dragon back, then he'd take us to where Rakor's stuff made out of the metal is, and we'd get it.
<Deathfish64> I believe we still needed to give a signal for the dragon to come to us, yeah
<~flibbyjibbits> wellif nobody else is going to do anything
<~flibbyjibbits> then I guess working under the assumption that he does that
<Deathfish64> cool
<Moon> Ok.
<CommodoreJim> Alright
<~flibbyjibbits> he would receive a mental/magical message that the wind from the storm is too severe to land, but it looks like there was a place a bit ways north that might be it
<Moon> So we have to spend days going down the mountain and past the swamp anyway.
<Moon> (and the forest)
<Deathfish64> We gotta do what we gotta do
<Skeleton> Back
<Skeleton> "By the hoary hosts of hoggoth! Dancing Lights!"
<Deathfish64> So, let's go to the place a bit north
<Deathfish64> Bravely demolishing any obstacles in our path
<~flibbyjibbits> the storm seems to have moved, such as to include where you are now, though within the mountain area and the swamp it isn't as bad
<CommodoreJim> Lovely.
<Moon> Let's take the opportunity, then.
<~flibbyjibbits> cant type as much with parents hanging about so might take a while to respond a lot
<~flibbyjibbits> ok back
<~flibbyjibbits> really put out of the mood the way they keep standing behind me and criticizing everything i do
<~flibbyjibbits> so i guess just gonna skip ahead and not do details
<~flibbyjibbits> oh the sheet of paper with all the plans on it is gone
<Deathfish64> wonderful
<~flibbyjibbits> oh it just fell behind the desk
<~flibbyjibbits> im not in much of a mood due to all things happening today so  not gonna be providing much detail on stuff.  dunno if that matters that much to people here, but less interesting if anyone cared about it.
<~flibbyjibbits> the place is dug into the side of a hill and is made of stone bricks, theres a big 3 carved into the ground slab in front of the entrance
<Moon> This is where Rakor's thing is, yeah?
<~flibbyjibbits> sure
<Moon> Ok.
<Moon> "Hmm, interesting... alright, we'll go get the thing and be right back," I say.
<Skeleton> "We are experts at thing-getting"
<Deathfish64> "I wonder what the big 3 is for"
<Moon> "It probably means that there are other places like this."
<~flibbyjibbits> inside the big stone door is a room
<~flibbyjibbits> a square room maybe 20 across
<~flibbyjibbits> each of the 3 walls has another door on it
<~flibbyjibbits> the room itself is a big goddamn mess
<~flibbyjibbits> it looks like some people had been staying here and then died
<~flibbyjibbits> messily
<~flibbyjibbits> died in a manner that was very messy
<Deathfish64> oh dear
<~flibbyjibbits> and all their stuff was reduced to various states of debris
<Moon> Hmm.
<Moon> What does it look like they died from?
* Eltrotraw ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
<~flibbyjibbits> tough to say but all the blood has pooled in the center of the room, though it might be difficult to judge how long it was there
<Moon> Does it look like it was made that way by something or someone?
<~flibbyjibbits> nothing in particular, theres the bones scattered about and everything else liquefied and puddled
<CommodoreJim> "Eugh."
<Deathfish64> "Well, something happened in here."
<Skeleton> "Gee. Who died."
<Moon> "No shit. Let's be careful."
<CommodoreJim> "Everyone, it looks like."
<~flibbyjibbits> in the corner is a small totem, like the one that you saw just outside asaida
<~flibbyjibbits> the small skull on a stick
<Eltrotraw> does this one talk too
<Deathfish64> "That thing looks familiar."
<Skeleton> "Hello, head."
<Arkay> "Another one?"
<~flibbyjibbits> it might have been there longer, but tough to tell given the way this place works
<Eltrotraw> I assume the poison's long since worn off by now
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess its been a few days yes
<Moon> Well, ignoring the skull, are any of the doors open or locked?
<~flibbyjibbits> they are not visibly locked
<Moon> I'll check the left one for traps, then, before opening it.

<~flibbyjibbits> the pool of blood and liquefied flesh behind you rises up into two large blobs
<~flibbyjibbits> the blobs each have two big beefy arms
<CommodoreJim> "Oh, of course."

<Moon> make it rain
<Moon> By the way, everyone remember to concentrate fire.
<Skeleton> Fire, fire, fire... blood is mostly water, fire should be effective, eh
<CommodoreJim> ("What was that you said? Fire?" Freddie asked as he spewed flame all over his team)
<Deathfish64> everyone knows undead hate fire
<Skeleton> Oh. Wouldn't have thought just blood would be counted as undead
<Moon> Because it doesn't.
<Deathfish64> it doesn't?
<Skeleton> :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
<Moon> Flib just said they're oozes.
<Deathfish64> It is still reanimated bits of dead people
<Deathfish64> Why can't they be undead oozes?
<Deathfish64> Even if not for mechanics, at least thematically
<Moon> Because the game rules don't allow for monsters that are two types are the same time.
<Moon> Well, flavor-wise I guess they're undead.
<~flibbyjibbits> dad was pulling me awayfor something and still wants to
<~flibbyjibbits> 16 damage with reduction
<Moon> wtf they have DR 10?
<Deathfish64> DR 5 over two hits, I assume
<Moon> Oh yeah.
<~flibbyjibbits> undead have a negative energy connotation, and necromancy magic
<Deathfish64> Right, so, my turn?
<Moon> Yeah.
<Deathfish64> I'll use Mage Armor on myself
<Deathfish64> That's all I'm good for right now
<CommodoreJim> pikkup says on his pity blog
<Moon> Speaking of Mage Armor, how long has it been since the last battle in in-game time?
<Deathfish64> Don't worry, next level I'll take a debuff of some kind
<~flibbyjibbits> couple of days
<Deathfish64> days, Moon
<Moon> Meh.
<Skeleton> How disappointing.

<Moon> "Argh!"
<~flibbyjibbits> healing it for 5
<~flibbyjibbits> and it regens for 3
<Skeleton> "Gee! People really should be more careful not to get cursed when they die! (dumbasses...)"
<Moon> No one's flanking 1, huh?
<~flibbyjibbits> oozes immune to flanking anyway
<Moon> Oh, right.

<Skeleton> "aaa! Sorry! Sorry for calling you a dumbass! Sorry!"
<~flibbyjibbits> you feel a bit of pressure but are fine
<Deathfish64> Should ekans be close enough to attempt a full attack on blob1?

<Deathfish64> The wing attack doesn't do enough to bypass DR, but presumably the energy attack still applies which should have a chance
<Deathfish64> So what hits?
<Eltrotraw> well blood type resists flying so
<~flibbyjibbits> sorry mny dad was talking to me again
<~flibbyjibbits> 16 ac
<Deathfish64> it's k
<~flibbyjibbits> 5 dr/blunt or magic
<Deathfish64> Right
<Moon> Damn.
<Deathfish64> Does biting count as blunt?
<~flibbyjibbits> no
<Moon> I thought biting count as everything.
<~flibbyjibbits> the energy aspect is magic though
<Moon> As in blunt, piercing and slashing.
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess an arguement can be made for all ofthat
<Deathfish64> !roll 1 8 +3 bite
<Deathfish64> !roll 1 6 +1 tail swipe
<bitdroid> [Deathfish64 - 1d8(+3)] <9> <6> <Total: 9>
<bitdroid> [Deathfish64 - 1d6(+1)] <2> <1> <Total: 2>
<Deathfish64> No point in rolling the wing buffet
<~flibbyjibbits> id have assumed a snakelike creature would be piercing but idunno the rule for it
<Deathfish64> !roll 3 6
<bitdroid> [Deathfish64 - 3d6] <6 6 2> <Total: 14>
<~flibbyjibbits> biting does indeed count as whatever it wants
<~flibbyjibbits> wings are blunt
<Deathfish64> that last one was the energy attacks
<Moon> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/universal-monster-rules#TOC-Natural-Attacks Indeed it is so, though yeah guess for a snake it'd only make sense for it to be piercing, though eidolons aren't actually snakes per se so well.
<Deathfish64> Yeah, 1d4+1 blunt is useless here
<~flibbyjibbits> the stuff after the / in dr is what bypasses it
<Deathfish64> So that should be 11?
<Deathfish64> 9 from the bite and two energy attacks rolled 6 which is reduced to 1
<~flibbyjibbits> no the energy attacks, tail swipe, and wing buffet all bypass the reduction
<Deathfish64> Oh?
<Moon> Energy attacks count as magic?
<~flibbyjibbits> its dr5/blunt or magic
<Deathfish64> !roll 1 4 +1 wing buffet
<bitdroid> [Deathfish64 - 1d4(+1)] <4> <3> <Total: 4>
<Deathfish64> Oh, oh, okay I got it now
<Deathfish64> So all of this works?
<Deathfish64> 9+2+4+14 = 29?
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess
<~flibbyjibbits> quite a lot of damage
<Deathfish64> Sweet, I feel like tombs
<Deathfish64> Pikkup cheers, "Yeah, you get 'im, Ekans!"
<Moon> Also note that magic weapons of certain enhancements bypass some kinds of damage reduction too. +5 stuff will probably bypass everything except things like, DR/alignment or epic.
<Moon> (DR/epic can only be bypassed by epic weapons and those don't exist yet)
<~flibbyjibbits> drom turn
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20 +9
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20(+9)] <19> <10> <Total: 19>
<~flibbyjibbits> which one
<CommodoreJim> Blob1 I think, that's the one everyone's attackin', right
<Moon> Yeah.
<~flibbyjibbits> k then hit
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 12 +6
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d12(+6)] <8> <2> <Total: 8>
<CommodoreJim> :| |: :| |:
<~flibbyjibbits> most of it is splattered away by now
<~flibbyjibbits> but it is still standing
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess
<Deathfish64> For once, Pikkup is the one dealing the most damage!
<Deathfish64> Or, rather, Ekans is, but still
<Moon> Freddie's turn.
<~flibbyjibbits> are big sluggy blobs with arms really standing
<Skeleton> Okay...
<Deathfish64> If Enigma is capable of limping, then yes close enough
<Skeleton> I'm gonna try Burning Hands on Blob2
<Eltrotraw> it's okay
<Eltrotraw> IT'S ONLY A FLESH WOUND
<Eltrotraw> "I ain't got time to bleed"
<Eltrotraw> (but you do)
<~flibbyjibbits> oh yeah i forgot that enigma limps
<~flibbyjibbits> somehow

<Skeleton> (does it work?)
<~flibbyjibbits> i mean cmon hes a humanoid torso-shaped gap that hovers above a minature sigularity vortex
<~flibbyjibbits> magic gets through the reduction
<Moon> This would be useful, were it being done on 1 and in a way that doesn't hit anyone else.
<Skeleton> "Hot blooded! Check it 'n see! Got a fever of a hundred 'n three!"
<Skeleton> "cough"
<~flibbyjibbits> raynar can do something now
<Arkay> I'll crossbow the first blob

<Deathfish64> derp
<~flibbyjibbits> blob1 is gone
<Moon> "Alright!"
<Arkay> "That's one down"
<Eltrotraw> how does a blood blob even die
<Eltrotraw> does it explode or just melt
<Deathfish64> Ekans says "I claim MVP!"
<Moon> I assume it just turns back into a pool.
<~flibbyjibbits> pretty much
<~flibbyjibbits> or it can violently explode
<~flibbyjibbits> either one
<CommodoreJim> but then we'd be covered in BLOOD
<CommodoreJim> so much BLOOD
<~flibbyjibbits> i will be sad if this encounter is completed without their special abilities ever taking effect
<Eltrotraw> is it blood or vlad blood
<Eltrotraw> because if it's the latter we could have trollfaces popping out of our blood
<~flibbyjibbits> everyone miss until someone fails a fort save pls
<Eltrotraw> ha ha that's a funny joke having a gun miss
<Eltrotraw> oh :<
<~flibbyjibbits> its your turen anyway crypts
<Eltrotraw> reload, i can't do much and i would rather stay away from vladblob
<Eltrotraw> so dash away and reload, that's possible right
<~flibbyjibbits> k
<Eltrotraw> dash = 5ft
<~flibbyjibbits> pikkup
<Moon> 5-foot steps are free actions, as long as you don't move in another way.
<Deathfish64> I take 100 5-foot steps away from here
<Deathfish64> I mean no
<Eltrotraw> just making sure
<Deathfish64> I actually use Mage Armor on Lotte
<Deathfish64> Enjoy your +4 armor bonus
<Moon> Yay!
<Moon> "Thanks, Pikkup!"
<Deathfish64> "try not to get hit again"
<Deathfish64> "And you're welcome"
<~flibbyjibbits> blolb1 isnt anymore so lottes turn

<Moon> I'm assuming they're next to the original, as summons.
<Deathfish64> Where is ekans relative to the two blobs?
<Deathfish64> Like, which is closer?
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess just right next to eachother
<Deathfish64> hmm
<Deathfish64> Well, Ekans will move over to blob2 and just bite I guess

<Deathfish64> He's an extraplanar snake monster maybe he likes it
<Deathfish64> Eltro, that's not even sadistic anymore.  That's just "I want to end this campaign" DM

<bitdroid> [Skeleton - 1d8] <5> <Total: 5>
<Skeleton> Glugluglug
<~flibbyjibbits> well now what
<Moon> So I go on with opening the left door, as I was before being interrupted.
<~flibbyjibbits> the blood is pooling up again but draining into the gaps in the flagstones
<~flibbyjibbits> in the elft door is
<Skeleton> "Weren't we going through a door?"
<~flibbyjibbits> another room with 4 more of them
<~flibbyjibbits> i mean
<Skeleton> "I hope there's a shower"
<Deathfish64> You mean 10 more, right?
<~flibbyjibbits> the room is the same general size and shape
<~flibbyjibbits> the walls look like they used to have imagery engraved in, but its been worn down and scraped off , especially any text
<~flibbyjibbits> in the back of the room is a small water fountain
<~flibbyjibbits> like a little stream of water coming out of the wall, with some engraving removed around it, landing in a basin jutting out from the wall
<Moon> I don't trust any water that we might find here. Let's take the right door.
<~flibbyjibbits> any other takers
<Skeleton> Sure
<Skeleton> Lead the way, The Boss
<CommodoreJim> AND THEN FREDDIE TURNED INTO BLOOD OH MY GOD
<Skeleton> No.
<Deathfish64> I think it would be prudent to examine the engravinggs
<Deathfish64> and possibly check for magic
<Skeleton> "Is this gonna be like those forests where if you take a wrong turn we wind up at the entrance"
<Deathfish64> What if it's SUPER AWESOME MAGIC WATER
<CommodoreJim> "Do those even exist"
<~flibbyjibbits> wait did freddie say he was drinking it
<Skeleton> What no
<Deathfish64> "The senator's son and the president's daughter all came to town for that crazy water."
<Skeleton> "I think the point of those is so that travelers get lost and die and turn into skeletons but since you get sent to the exit if you get lost it doesn't really work"
<Deathfish64> Anyway, is there anything interesting about those engravings?
<~flibbyjibbits> they all seem to be worn away
<Deathfish64> oh
<Deathfish64> I cast detect magic, then
<CommodoreJim> Well, SOMEONE should drink the water
<~flibbyjibbits> some through natural erosion, some through someones actions
<~flibbyjibbits> predictably the fountain is magic as shit
<Moon> Ekans can do it.
<Eltrotraw> is the fountain made of blood?
<Skeleton> I vote Lotte should drink the water
<CommodoreJim> Who's the most curse resistant
<Deathfish64> "It's magic, guys"
<~flibbyjibbits> nope just water
<~flibbyjibbits> well it looks like water at least
<~flibbyjibbits> it is actually water just yknow magic
<Deathfish64> "Freddie should drink it, he loves magic"
<Moon> Or if not, Pikkup could just summon something and have it drink.
<~flibbyjibbits> scientists have not yet discovered a way to make nonmagical fountains
<Skeleton> "Well, uhh... and I do love drinking..."
<Skeleton> "Anyone gonna pick up the hospital tab if it possesses me or makes me go bald"
<CommodoreJim> "Sure."
<Deathfish64> relevant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Feu0qgt33qU&hd=1
<bitdroid> YouTube video title: Was [Not Was] - Crazy Water
<Skeleton> So I'm gonna drink this water huh
<Arkay> what's the worst that could happen?
<Deathfish64> If you really don't want to then I'll try it
<CommodoreJim> And if both of you don't I could
<Skeleton> Hey sure I'll do it
<Eltrotraw> i will drink the water
<Eltrotraw> can i get grit for doing it
<CommodoreJim> But I am probably more likely to die to magic
<Skeleton> Just if something bad happens don't blame me!
<Skeleton> Freddie drinks some magic water, wow, magic
<~flibbyjibbits> freddie explodes
<Skeleton> Oooh. That's gonna be a big bill Drom
<~flibbyjibbits> there is nothing left
<CommodoreJim> ("Well, on the bright side, we're gonna get burned less")
<Deathfish64> a really big bill
<~flibbyjibbits> the door opens
<Moon> Which door?
<Eltrotraw> "Huh. Let's move on."
<Deathfish64> erm, okay
<~flibbyjibbits> freddie is on the other side of the door
<Deathfish64> That seems... pointless
<CommodoreJim> Huh.
<Moon> "Uh... ok."
<Eltrotraw> "How'd you get over there?"
<Deathfish64> "Pointless teleportation water?  Well, okay."
<Arkay> "Magic water is... odd."
<Skeleton> "Wh"
<CommodoreJim> "That was completely bizarre."
<Moon> brb bathroom.
<Eltrotraw> what is on the other side of the door
<~flibbyjibbits> i mean the door back to the main room
<Skeleton> "What are you doing here"
<~flibbyjibbits> freddie looks a bit older
<Deathfish64> Even for an elf?
<Eltrotraw> ("wow freddie, how'd you turn into dumbledore")
<~flibbyjibbits> in eld standards not that much
<Deathfish64> "You look different.  Did you do something with your hair?"
<Skeleton> "Hehehh... when did you get so funny"
<Skeleton> "How come none of you guys changed YOUR hair? Or your... heights or anything."
<CommodoreJim> "...what do you mean"
<Skeleton> "It's been forever since we last spoke! 15 years, at least"
<Deathfish64> "Closer to 15 seconds."
<Moon> "Hm, interested. So that water transports you to the future."
<Moon> "Also, 15 years shouldn't be much for you."
<CommodoreJim> "Well, this just got weird."
<Skeleton> "What"
<Moon> "Anyway, let's keep going." I go open the right door.
<Skeleton> "Wait what happened
<Skeleton> "I kinda forgot what we're doing here? I mean I remember being here, but nothing particularly interesting happened"
<~flibbyjibbits> lotte has no time for the mysteries of time ans space
<CommodoreJim> "You...drank that water, blew up..."
<CommodoreJim> "...and then the door opened and you were back."
<Skeleton> "Blew up??"
<CommodoreJim> "Yes, exploded."
<CommodoreJim> "Poof, gone. Not even any Freddie chunks left."
<Deathfish64> "We're here to find some armor for the cool dragon."
<Deathfish64> "Or something to make armor out of"
<Moon> "And then the door opened just now, and you were behind it. Actually thinking about it, it's not like you went to the future... more like you got stuck in the middle of time until now."
<Skeleton> "I don't get it"
<Skeleton> "Actually I've kinda been wandering around places we've been, wishing we hadn't stopped... you know, doing what we do"
<CommodoreJim> "...now I'm even more confused."
<Moon> "From our point of view, you drank that water, then you exploded, then you appeared as you are now."
<Moon> "Hmm... what happened from your point of view?"
<Skeleton> "We did whatever we were doing here... went back to Rakor, stopped travelling..."
<Moon> "..." Lotte is deep in though.
<CommodoreJim> "...this is weird timeline shit, isn't it"
<Skeleton> "The war in Farim or whatever ended and Telmar deported all the elves there... that dickhead"
<CommodoreJim> "Like with the doors?"
<Skeleton> "But fuck that guy"
<Moon> ("so are you level 20")
<Skeleton> ("I wish")
<Moon> "Hmmm..."
<Deathfish64> "Well, in this timeline at least, none of that has actually happened.  Yet."
<Moon> "So, it's like drinking the water caused you to come back in time after all that time... huh."
<Skeleton> "Oh awesome"
<Skeleton> "Because that all sucked! Except... now I have to live it over again?"
<Deathfish64> "Not if we choose to not stop doing what we do."
<Moon> "Well, now you know what's going to happen, which is a nice advantage. For example... do you remember any other monsters in this place?"
<Skeleton> "Nope"
<Eltrotraw> ("There were monsters"?)
<Skeleton> "Well maybe. I dunno."
<Deathfish64> "For now, I guess we should just move on.  Maybe you'll remember as you see more of the place."
<Moon> "... I don't know what to think of that, but yeah, let's go."
<Moon> I open the right door.
<Skeleton> Freddie can't stop smiling though
<~flibbyjibbits> the door on the right is a similar room
<~flibbyjibbits> in fact its nearly identical
<~flibbyjibbits> but instead of a fountain
<Moon> It's a blood thing.
<~flibbyjibbits> there is a stone table with a deck of cards sitting on the corner of it
<Eltrotraw> ("CROOKED DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!")
<CommodoreJim> "This is...a weird place." I mutter as I go over and look at the table.

<CommodoreJim> Drom probably might, at least from pre-knight days
<~flibbyjibbits> the "table" is pretty much just a large stone block so no traps
<Moon> I pick it up. Do the cards have anything unique about them?
<~flibbyjibbits> they are immobile
<~flibbyjibbits> there is a chair behind the table as well btw
<Moon> "Hmm... I remember seeing some of those before... but it was really long ago, though."
<Skeleton> "Me too! ...I think."
<Moon> I sit down in the chair for a little bit as I shuffle through the duck to inspect the pictures.
<Deathfish64> brb getting water
<Deathfish64> the duck
<~flibbyjibbits> the deck is immobile, as in you can not move it from its palce
<~flibbyjibbits> until you sat down in the chair at least
<Moon> ...I assumed that by "immobile" you meant non-animated.
<Moon> Which was probably a given.
<Eltrotraw> CROOKED DESTINY
<~flibbyjibbits> upon sitting down in the chair you feel like you would be able to move the cards, but only one or two at a time
<Moon> "Ah..." I lay down the cards in some random pattern.
<~flibbyjibbits> how many
<Moon> The first 10, I guess.
<Eltrotraw> the cards are likely the puzzle for the rest of this area
<~flibbyjibbits> or a fortune telling device as they tend to be
<Deathfish64> the card are a trading card game
<Deathfish64> cards*
<Deathfish64> We need to beat the boss at pokemon cards to advance
<Arkay> these are all energy cards omg
<Skeleton> I never learned the PKMN TCG
<~flibbyjibbits> the first 3 cards flip over fine, but the 4th card resists your efforts to pick it up, do you want to force it
<Skeleton> I just liked the illustrations
<~flibbyjibbits> these decks have 6 suits of 9 cards each, and then 4 wildcards
<Moon> It's probably not a good idea to force it. Let's check out the first 3.
<~flibbyjibbits> i never wrote down what these are supposed to be damn hold up a sec while i remember
<Moon> derp
<~flibbyjibbits> the first card is the 5th of chaos, the dead king
<CommodoreJim> That sounds promising
<~flibbyjibbits> the second card is the 3rd of the moon, the storm
<~flibbyjibbits> the third card is one of the suitless cards, the wanderer
<Moon> "You know... these look suspiciously like what's going on with us right now."
<CommodoreJim> "Hm?"
<~flibbyjibbits> some people call the chaos suit the dragon, or the war
<~flibbyjibbits> the wanderer is sometimes called the stranger
<Moon> I'm just going to assume that the pictures have something to do with the names, or that I know the names. "This one's the dead king card. It's relevant for obvious reasons. This one's the storm... which we were just in. And this one is the wanderer or something... could relate to a lot of things, really. Us, that dragon, etcetera."
* Deathfish64 ([email protected]) Quit (Client exited)
<Moon> Is the 4th card still stuck?
* Deathfish64 ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
<~flibbyjibbits> the pictures are fairly relevant
<Deathfish64> whoops
<CommodoreJim> "I...see."
<Eltrotraw> "This tryin' to tell us something?"
<Deathfish64> I missed the last few lines of stuff
<~flibbyjibbits> the 4th card resists being picked up, like it was heavier,but you could flip it over with just a little bit of effort without rolling
<Moon> <Moon> "You know... these look suspiciously like what's going on with us right now."
<Moon> <CommodoreJim> "Hm?"
<Moon> <~flibbyjibbits> some people call the chaos suit the dragon, or the war

<Moon> I'll try to check out the fourth, yeah.
<~flibbyjibbits> the mask is the third of the toer
<~flibbyjibbits> tower
<~flibbyjibbits> the apparition
<Moon> I'm guessing the 5th is also heavy.
<~flibbyjibbits> the image on the card is a stone tower with angelic wings surrounding it
<~flibbyjibbits> the 4th card made a loud cracking noise when it hit the tower
<CommodoreJim> "...well, that doesn't seem to have much to do with us...unless it's what's in store?"
<~flibbyjibbits> hit the table
<Moon> "Ugh?! Er... ok, that probably wasn't a good idea." I (try to) put the cards back.
<~flibbyjibbits> the cards on the table already can not be moved
<Moon> Well, is the 5th heavy too?
<~flibbyjibbits> moreso
<Moon> I just get up, then.
<~flibbyjibbits> as you stand up the deck shuffles itself back and sets itself back as it was
<Moon> "Meh, screw this. I dunno how to interpret this stuff."
<Moon> "Let's go through the other door."
<CommodoreJim> "...Curiouser and curiouser."
<Deathfish64> "And you're the one we usually count on to know things.  Guess we can't learn too much here."
<Moon> "This is exactly the sort of things I usually don't care about, and I'm not going to check through my memory to see if I've read anything about it before because of that. So there."
<~flibbyjibbits> the final room is shaped much like the others.  at its back is a large statue, on a pedastel
<CommodoreJim> "...hm." I step closer and look at the statue. What is it.
<~flibbyjibbits> the statue is of the old king rakor as a young man, brandishing an axe
<Moon> Is it the axe that we're looking for?
<~flibbyjibbits> the iscription on the pedastal reads, in elven  "Three of eighteen; Rakor learns to fight"
<CommodoreJim> "...nice axe."
<~flibbyjibbits> the axe is stone
<~flibbyjibbits> sorry
<~flibbyjibbits> didnt make that clear
<~flibbyjibbits> its part of the statue
<~flibbyjibbits> however
<Moon> Ok.
<~flibbyjibbits> the right arm of the statue is wearing a blue tinged metal bracer
<~flibbyjibbits> additionally
<~flibbyjibbits> the right side of the chamber has its stone tiles broken off, and another hallway leads downwards, clearly added much later
<Moon> "Hmm," I say, inspecting the pedestal. "3 was how many cards were willing to be picked up... 18 is around 1/3 of that deck."
<Moon> "Do you remember what happened here, Freddie?"
<Skeleton> "Hmmmmm... no"
<~flibbyjibbits> freddie does not remember that passage to the right being there
<Moon> "Damn. Let's go down that way, then," I say, pointing down the other hallway.
<Deathfish64> "Should we try to remove the bracer?"
<Moon> "Leave it for later."
<CommodoreJim> "If you insist."
<~flibbyjibbits> this hallway is clearly not made by the same group that constructed the rest of the shrine
<~flibbyjibbits> down the slope it opens up into another room that is at least an imitation of the others
<~flibbyjibbits> on the far side is a large, circular door, made of metal, with large metal pins keeping it closed, as well as heavy chains held against it connected to the rest of the wall
<~flibbyjibbits> there is a handprint in the center, like where a key would ge
<~flibbyjibbits> go
<CommodoreJim> How big is the handprint
<Moon> "This is familiar."
<~flibbyjibbits> about regular size
<CommodoreJim> Reminds me of the hookshot door
<Deathfish64> "I have a bad feeling about this."
<Skeleton> "We cleared this place without incident"
<Deathfish64> Does the handprint look about the right size for oh, say, that bracer on the statue in the previous room?
<Skeleton> "Or so I remember"
<~flibbyjibbits> the tatue is considerably larger than life size so no
<Deathfish64> durn
<~flibbyjibbits> also I thought I mentioend that fredie didnt remember this passage even being there
<Moon> If it's not a hookshot door, then Freddie can just Knock it open.
<Deathfish64> I thought I was incredibly clever (and by that I mean I thought I could be the first to solve something obvious)
<CommodoreJim> Is it a hookshot door, because maybe I can actually get my Hookshot to activate for once
<Deathfish64> The hookshot door had claw marks, not hand ones, right?
<~flibbyjibbits> there are small bloodstains on the ground, clearly from a long time ago
<CommodoreJim> Hmm, maybe
<CommodoreJim> Yeah, you're right
<CommodoreJim> Oh boy blood
<Moon> I put my hand in the handprint.
<~flibbyjibbits> really
<Moon> I'm not sure how to take this.
<Skeleton> Should I know whether to say 'oh don't do that' or not
<Moon> This place wasn't here the last time you were here. Flib's already said that twice.
<Skeleton> Oh right
<Moon> Ok, if it's a bad idea, then Freddie can just Knock it open. "Hey Freddie, open it like you opened that other vault door before."
<Skeleton> "Knock knock"
<~flibbyjibbits> the divination ball turns very red
<~flibbyjibbits> almost blackishly dark red
<Eltrotraw> Is it saying something?
<Moon> oh boy here we go
<~flibbyjibbits> the chains begin to loosen and the pins one by one start to retract
<Skeleton> "I never really figured out what this thing's deal is."
<CommodoreJim> I wonder how Warty Morty held up for 15 years
<Skeleton> Yeah I am wondering about things in my inventory
<~flibbyjibbits> theyre fine
<Skeleton> But in video RPGs you can give a character something before a time skip and it'll still be there after a time skip
<~flibbyjibbits> either he brought them with him or his possessions magically reverted
<Skeleton> Edible and alive and whatever!
<Skeleton> Here, Boney, the DOG, have all my bread
<~flibbyjibbits> magical time reversion makes enough sense given the circumstances
<Skeleton> I'll be wanting it back in three years
<~flibbyjibbits> since nobody seemed to want to try to stop the door from opening, it rolls open once all the pins have retracted
<CommodoreJim> Oh, we could stop it?
<~flibbyjibbits> on the other side is a massive black void
<CommodoreJim> WHOOPS
<Arkay> neat
<~flibbyjibbits> there is a figure in the distance floating towards you
<CommodoreJim> "What in god's name..."
<Skeleton> "Who could that be"
<CommodoreJim> THEN IT'S GLORUS DEVANUM EVERYONE DIES
<~flibbyjibbits> it is a tall, featureless humanoid with black skin
<~flibbyjibbits> not like african american but i mean like
<Moon> It's Nyarlathotep.
<Deathfish64> Pikkup waves hello to the figure
<CommodoreJim> wow racist
<Skeleton> BlaaAAAaack!
<~flibbyjibbits> absence of any light
<CommodoreJim> THERE ARE TWO PLACES BLACK PEOPLE LIKE TO GO
<CommodoreJim> AND THAT'S WALMART, AND THE VOID
<~flibbyjibbits> it keeps floating towars you
<~flibbyjibbits> about 100 ft out now
<CommodoreJim> "This could be bad."
<Deathfish64> Pikkup stops waving and move behind Drom
<Deathfish64> moves*
<Moon> "This is not looking very good. Run."
<Deathfish64> Can we close the door again?
<~flibbyjibbits> its a bit heavy
<~flibbyjibbits> you can try
<CommodoreJim> Well, Drom's buff. I try to close the door.
<~flibbyjibbits> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [flibbyjibbits - 1d20] <11> <Total: 11>
<~flibbyjibbits> still a bit too heavy

<CommodoreJim> "Come on....."
<~flibbyjibbits> it draws closer , still. maybe 30 feet away
<CommodoreJim> "Close, dammit!"

<Eltrotraw> oh dammit
<Eltrotraw> dog had to go out right then
<Eltrotraw> what'd I miss
<Deathfish64> We're all gonna die
<Moon> Something with a CR way higher than our APL is coming.
<~flibbyjibbits> pikkup doesn't know what its name is, but knows that it is from a place of complete darkness and that it exists only to destroy things that live in places of light
<~flibbyjibbits> he also infers from context that it was supposed to be sealed up here
<~flibbyjibbits> it calls out in celestial, asking that you let it taste your world again
<CommodoreJim> GALACTUS
<Skeleton> Made a new little drawing for my character sheet to account for the time skip, albeit minor for Freddie http://smaaaash.net/drawn/thisiswhatdndislike2.png
<~flibbyjibbits> neat
<Skeleton> Too bad we're all about to die.
* Eltriuqs ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)
<CommodoreJim> Well I guess I should draw my axe. If I'm gonna die I'm gonna at least try to cut the bastard.
<~flibbyjibbits> if only there was some way to make people stronger to close the door easier
<Skeleton> Oh
<CommodoreJim> ...DURR, Freddie, come on
<CommodoreJim> Help me out
<~flibbyjibbits> 10ft out now
<CommodoreJim> "Help me out here! Freddie!"
<Moon> You know, I thought this was obvious.
<~flibbyjibbits> -1hp on everyone again
<Skeleton> Bull's strength on Drom
<Skeleton> "right! Right!"
<Skeleton> "Bull's strength!"
<Skeleton> Can I go again and Enlarge Humanoid
<Deathfish64> How low is the ceiling?
<Eltrotraw> so wait, we've taken 2 damage total?
<Eltrotraw> aside from darkness botl?
<Deathfish64> yes
<CommodoreJim> Am I strong enough to shut the door fast enough now, flib
<~flibbyjibbits> there might not be time to cast a second spell, drom has one more chance to close the door with an str roll before it gets in
<Moon> How much STR does Bull's Strength give?
<~flibbyjibbits> 4
<Moon> d20 +6.

<Skeleton> "That felt good..."
<CommodoreJim> "Not today! GrrrrrrrraaAAAAAH!"
<Deathfish64> ops you pushed too hard and the door broke
<CommodoreJim> fish no :<
<Eltrotraw> oops it was spectre
<Deathfish64> sadistic DM option
<Skeleton> Also Galactus powers up because his powerup is broken doors
<~flibbyjibbits> the door is mostly closed, except the thing got its hand through the side, which is holding the door open just barely
<CommodoreJim> "Dammit!"
<Skeleton> "Oh no."
<~flibbyjibbits> like it stuck its arm in the door and drom slammed the door on its wrist
<Moon> I take the shiny powder stuff from my backpack, and throw it on its hand.
<Eltrotraw> boss fight - hand
<Moon> Ranged attack or something?
<~flibbyjibbits> the powder doesnt do terribly much since thats for undead type shadows not elementals
<Moon> This doesn't make sense, but ok.
<CommodoreJim> Can I like...push harder and sever the hand
<Moon> Someone kill it or something.
<CommodoreJim> Somebody do SOMETHING

<Eltrotraw> really
<~flibbyjibbits> i imagine that everyone is just screaming right now including the thing
<~flibbyjibbits> first shot hits
<~flibbyjibbits> actually
<Deathfish64> Pretty much
<Skeleton> Then in our mutual fear we should become friends
<~flibbyjibbits> it probably would be denied its dex bonus now
<~flibbyjibbits> so both do
<Moon> That's pretty low AC for something that can give negative levels.
<Eltrotraw> !roll 2 8 +10/+10 what am i rolling for
<bitdroid> [Eltrotraw - 2d8(+10/+10)] <11 16> <1 6> <Total: 27>
<Deathfish64> It's stuck in a door
<~flibbyjibbits> touch ac is always low
<Eltrotraw> "I GOT YER DARKNESS"
<Moon> Oh, I guess.
<~flibbyjibbits> since like 80% of things scale up with armor, most dangerous things dont get small and speedy
<~flibbyjibbits> the dark matter that composes the hand splatters about and the door closes since i assume drom was still pushing on it
<Moon> "..."
<Skeleton> "Yeh!"
<CommodoreJim> "Guuuh!"
<CommodoreJim> I collapse a bit against the door as it shuts
<Deathfish64> "Let's count that plane as the one I don't want to see anything else from."
<Eltrotraw> How's the orb?
<~flibbyjibbits> still a bit afraidy
<Moon> [Celestial] "FUCK YOU!," I scream as I fall to my knees, fasping.
<Moon> gasping*
<Skeleton> fasping
<Deathfish64> "But you'd think they would have measures in place to stop what is clearly an important seal from being opened by a simple spell."
<CommodoreJim> "I...did we...are we alive?"
<Moon> "You'd think... they'd also put up warnings and stuff... seriously, what the fuck was that thing?!"
<Arkay> "Nice going, Drom."
<Eltrotraw> "What about those cards earlier?"
<Moon> "They didn't mention anything about evil darkness things."
<CommodoreJim> I take my helmet off and sit with my back to the door, to catch my breath better.
<Skeleton> Freddie is still grinning nostalgically
<Moon> "Anyway... let's go back. I don't want to stay anywhere near this door for the next million years."
<CommodoreJim> I get to my feet, and put my helmet back on my head. "Should we...I dunno, check the locks or something?"
<Moon> Before we leave, though; is this door similar in design to the one we found before, in the dwarven place?
<Deathfish64> "Heck, reinforce them if we can."
<Moon> "I guess."
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess its similar in that it is a large vault door
<Moon> I check the locks, since I'm the one that knows the most about them in here.
<~flibbyjibbits> there are some similarities in the design
<CommodoreJim> "Yeah...we don't want another, less experienced band of adventurers to stumble by and just...accidentally open it. Can we carve a warning or something?"
<Eltrotraw> (Tombs shoots the door to make a warning made of bullet holes, "DO NOT OPEN")
<Moon> Carve "ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE" on the wall.
<Skeleton> "I dunno. If it were us and we came across a door labeled 'Don't ipen this door, hell is behind it and the devil himself is waiting to come out,' you don't think we'd open it anyway?"
<Moon> "No."
<Skeleton> "...I think we probably would."
<Deathfish64> "...only for the sake of collecting data on whatever horror was beyond, but yeah probably."
<~flibbyjibbits> http://gunshowcomic.com/comics/20111014-contest.png  why am i reminded of this
<CommodoreJim> "...either way...let's not do that again. Ever."
<Moon> "Let's leave a warning anyway. That was, they won't be able to tell us that we didn't warn them when they die, which I'm going to say to whoever built this place."
<Moon> Isn't there a spell that can write things on stuff?
<Skeleton> Arcane Mark
<Skeleton> "Okay, here goes. 'Don't open this door. There's a big black empty void and a really scary demon behind it. If you open the door and it destroys the world everyone will hate you for it.'"
<Skeleton> "What else?"
<Moon> I also tell Freddie how to write that in every other language that I know.
<Skeleton> "Good thinking."
<Moon> Arcane Mark doesn't work like this, but who cares.
<Skeleton> IT DOES NOW
<CommodoreJim> "Guh...I may not be able to sleep for weeks."
<CommodoreJim> "Well, are we done here? Forever?"
<Moon> This reminds me of something I read once. People were building a nuclear waste deposit, and were trying to figure out ways to tell future generations and societies that it should be left alone.
<Moon> "Yeah."
<Moon> We go back to the other room.
<~flibbyjibbits> it was an interesting thing that was
<Moon> Yeah, it was.
<Moon> I lost the link, though.
<~flibbyjibbits> the problem was that the current symbol for radioactivity culd be interpretted as an angel
<Skeleton> "Hmm... I wonder if some of the completely sealed doors at the Crossroads of the Universe were shut because some shitheads opened this thing in their respective realities"
<Deathfish64> Pikkup would find it fascinating if he could study it without feeling like he was about to die
<Skeleton> Mewtwo is too powerful, Pikkup. Let it go
<Deathfish64> Yeah, I need to get master balls first
<Eltrotraw> you don't have enough badges yet
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess itd be closer to darkrai
<~flibbyjibbits> since mewtwo is manufactored
<Eltrotraw> YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BADGES YET.
<Moon> I was under the impression that it was an Elder God.
<CommodoreJim> Fuckin' Galactus
<CommodoreJim> Anyway
<Moon> Back to the statue room.
<CommodoreJim> "So, I guess we should get the bracer, then."
<Moon> "Yeah, let's get it."
<~flibbyjibbits> probably a decent place to stop
<Deathfish64> sure
<~flibbyjibbits> we can fight the animated statue next time i mean pick up the bracer
<Moon> Ok.
<Skeleton> I wanna fight the satan instead :<
<~flibbyjibbits> since i have nothing until the end of the month and fish has this week off i think he said is it possible for everyone else to have a
<~flibbyjibbits> non saturday night session :o
<~flibbyjibbits> if not then thats ok too
<~flibbyjibbits> just wondering
<Deathfish64> Yeah I got a week off
<Moon> I have to work in the morning in every day, so it'd have to end before midnight here.
<Deathfish64> I was going to be leaving for michigan but that got canceled and I already took the days off
<~flibbyjibbits> maybe even just an hour or two to get through the thing
<Moon> Ok, sure then.
<Skeleton> You know I'm on aaaaaaaaaaall the tiiiiiiiiiiiime
<Arkay> Same
<Arkay> except for friday
<Arkay> actually, never mind, friday should be fine too
<~flibbyjibbits> theres 2 days this week, not sure which, that i work in the morning but time is meaningless so me so just whenever works for everyone
<Eltrotraw> okay
