<Moonside> Now only Jim's left.
<Eltrotraw> he's probably still asleep
<Fishfosh> I
<Fishfosh> I'll be stepping out to get a Christmas Tree after I eat dinner, which will be soon
<Fishfosh> Shouldn't be gone very long, though
<Fishfosh> Alright, Christmas tree get

<Eltrotraw> jim's not showing up anytime soon is he
<Eltrotraw> huh
<Eltrotraw> I don't remember him saying he had anything to do today
<Fishfosh> I don't either
<Skeleton> He is probably asleep
<Fishfosh> His sleep schedule is pretty bad, then, huh?
<Skeleton> Yeah, it is
<Eltrotraw> I went to sleep before he did
<Eltrotraw> and that was 6 am
<Skeleton> Oh boy

* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #ADVENTURE
* Rejoined channel #ADVENTURE
<~flibbyjibbits> so while waiting for if/when this ends up hapening does anyone have any questions or things they want to say
<Moon> I've been wanting to do things with Elsa for a long time now.
<~flibbyjibbits> maybe we can go over whatever chaarcter devlopment/exposition would have occured on the way there
<Moon> On the way where, again?
<Eltrotraw> oh dude you wanted to do things with elsa that sounds hot
<Eltrotraw> i mean whawt
<Fishfosh> We ended up going north to the digsite
<~flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/54a2709d59bc95f7ac0f7493f3334ea0
<~flibbyjibbits> the path that was taken
<Moon> I thought we hadn't left yet?
* Moonside ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)
* Moon is now known as Moonside
<Fishfosh> We went last week.  You weren't around but we figured we could do some things for the sake of progress.
<Fishfosh> No encounters or seriously important details occurred other than moving
<Arkay> we made snowmen
<Arkay> i think that's pretty important
<Fishfosh> Pikkupstix summoned an ice elemental.  That's totally not cheating.
<Skeleton> Tombs shot a heap of snow in Freddie's likeness (if Freddie were Jabba the Hutt)
<~flibbyjibbits> they passed by the big dead place of badness
<Moonside> Hmm, I see. Did anyone take a log, regardless?
<~flibbyjibbits> i didnt
<Skeleton> I have logs
<Skeleton> But if anyone has non-timestamped ones and you'd rather have that...
<Fishfosh> I did not take logs because I forgot
<Moonside> I can just take the timestamps off, like I did with the one Eltro took some time ago.
<~flibbyjibbits> basic jist of what happened
<Eltrotraw> people died
<Eltrotraw> things snowed
<Eltrotraw> birds thawed
<Eltrotraw> and mar mar got married
<~flibbyjibbits> they went on the old road towards the former capital [which is now the epicenter of the wasteland caused by the collateral damage of the final battle 800 years ago], then turned towards a very un notable port, got on a boat, went to the port ryonia, got snowed in for a day, had a snowman building contest with some local children, at which pikkup cheated, and then they went to the castle
<Eltrotraw> oh wait jim's not here yet
<~flibbyjibbits> gonna head to the bathroom
<Skeleton> http://pastebin.com/KTqK6u0b
<Moonside> Ok, I'll put that in later, thanks.
* CommodoreJim ([email protected]) has joined #ADVENTURE
<Fishfosh> hi
<Moonside> ok
<Skeleton> Adventurers Assemble
* Arkay strikes a pose
<Eltrotraw> so does that mean tombs is going to replace hawkweye
* CommodoreJim kicks Arkay out the window
* Arkay ([email protected]) has left #ADVENTURE (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
* Arkay ([email protected]) has joined #ADVENTURE
<Arkay> omg jim
* Skeleton waits in the Sanctum Sanctorum for the Adventurers to fail to kill something
<CommodoreJim> more like he waits in the Sanctum Sanctorum for his own movie LOL
<Moonside> Ok, so the one immediately notable thing about Elsa is that her armor is actually really creepy looking.
<Moonside> I guess it looks sort of like the berserker armor from Berserk if anyone's seen that.
<~flibbyjibbits> is there things i should know
<Moonside> I dunno really.
<CommodoreJim> Oh I probably should buy new stuff for Drom retroactively (Seeing as I was in no mood to RP last week)
<CommodoreJim> In-character Drom's probably in a bad mood too
<~flibbyjibbits> so lets say they were at the office of the historical society talking their way into the place
<CommodoreJim> Can I get a recap of last time
<~flibbyjibbits> [i dont want to stay up as late as usual because of finals and stuff so shorter session and wont get too far but whatevs]
<~flibbyjibbits> [22:35]	flibbyjibbits	they went on the old road towards the former capital [which is now the epicenter of the wasteland caused by the collateral damage of the final battle 800 years ago], then turned towards a very un notable port, got on a boat, went to the port ryonia, got snowed in for a day, had a snowman building contest with some local children, at which pikkup cheated, and then they...
<~flibbyjibbits> ...went to the castle
<Eltrotraw> and then we'll deliver the ring of bombs?
<CommodoreJim> also how much cashmoney was my payment again
<Eltrotraw> 3k?
<~flibbyjibbits> about
<CommodoreJim> k
<~flibbyjibbits> i think the deal made
<~flibbyjibbits> was that the historical society/archeologists whatever would let the party into the old city on the condition that they'd basially be bodyguarding a historian while he gathered some records and such, and after he found those they could explore
<Eltrotraw> Tombs cocks his shotgun and is ready to avenge I mean adventure
<Eltrotraw> whoops did i say shotgun i meant blunderbuss
<Eltrotraw> i blundered
<Eltrotraw> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<CommodoreJim> urmom blundered
<~flibbyjibbits> they know thers a lot of historical crap in the castle but they cant go in because of the hauntings
<CommodoreJim> ZOINKS
<CommodoreJim> L-L-L-LOOK OUT MELANGE, IT'S A G-G-G-GHOST!
<~flibbyjibbits> freddiesnacks
<~flibbyjibbits> or would it be ekans
<CommodoreJim> Freddie would be Fred
<~flibbyjibbits> since i guess ekans and melange are clsoer to team pets
<CommodoreJim> And so he could be the leader and wear a stupid scarf
<Fishfosh> Ekans would be like "wtf is this shit"
<Skeleton> Freddie leading something??
<CommodoreJim> And by leading I mean Freddie would be like
<CommodoreJim> "LET'S SPLIT UP, GANG. I'LL GO WITH ELSA TO EXPLORE THE BEDROOMS."
<Moonside> I'm not sure if he wants that.
<Arkay> raynar-raynar-roooo
<CommodoreJim> But yeah, Drom's kinda sulky, whatever we're doin'
<Eltrotraw> can we kill the ghosts
<Eltrotraw> or are we going to have to run like last time
<Arkay> I can kill ghosts!
<Eltrotraw> zombie ghoasts leave this place
<Fishfosh> Killing ghosts is not impossible
<Eltrotraw> and then john tombs shot the ghoasts and they exploded
<Moonside> I'm pretty sure Elsa can kill ghosts somehow.
<Fishfosh> I can use evolution surge to make Ekans incorporeal temporarily
<Fishfosh> which would mean hitting ghosts normally
<Fishfosh> Anyway, now what?
<Eltrotraw> we go inside castle with history guy
<Eltrotraw> come on, we haven't got all day, history channel is waiting
<Fishfosh> yes, yes
<~flibbyjibbits> its hard to tell if hes just young and short or actually halfling
<~flibbyjibbits> the historian guy they're making you take with you i mean
<Fishfosh> (and then the ruins are actually haunted by a Neutronium Golem)
<~flibbyjibbits> on the way through the abondoned town, which i guess woulds be kinda of eerie
<~flibbyjibbits> since its very well preserved for being pramarily stone and wood structures from around 780 years ago
<Moonside> "This is a very interesting place."
<CommodoreJim> "Mm." Drom mutters some half-hearted agreement as he shuffles along
<Eltrotraw> "What're you lookin' for, anyway, kid?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "Oh, why, yes, very interesting. We've catalogued most of the village itself, just haven't been able to go too far into the castle. Because of the ghosts. Wuite a lot of them, yes."
<Arkay> "I don't remember our last encounter with ghosts going all that well."
<~flibbyjibbits> "WEll, most economic and diplomatic records were corroborated elsewhere, so mostly just any information about every day life here, especially that related to king Rakor or his court mage, because we know so very little about either of them, for such prominent figures."
<Skeleton> "I don't remember our last encounter with ghosts."
<Fishfosh> "We're stronger than we were last time we encountered ghosts."
<Eltrotraw> "It'd prolly go better than last time if we meet some more ghosts this time 'round."
<~flibbyjibbits> "Oh you've dealt with ghosts before, thats good.  The ones near the entrance aren't violent but they won't let us in any farther because they still think they're alive and guarding the castle
<CommodoreJim> sad
<Skeleton> "aww."
<Arkay> "Wow, never being able to depart from the physical realm? Well I guess they don't seem to know any better, so it can't be all that bad for them."
<~flibbyjibbits> "If you're form the mainland, maybe you can convince them you have an appointment inside, I don't know, or just force through, I just read a lot, I don't know."
<Fishfosh> ("Hi, we're from Rakor City.  The guy in charge sent us here to make a delivery.  Someone in there ordered a pizza or something.")
<Eltrotraw> "So how far have you gone inside?"
<~flibbyjibbits> 'rakor city' would probably sound weird to them since it wasn't established yet when they were alive and he still lived in that building
<Fishfosh> pfft, Pikkup doesn't have any ranks in know history
<CommodoreJim> Just walk up and say "WOO YEAH RAKOR'S THE BEST HOT DAMN"
<Fishfosh> Which means it'd probably be better to let someone who does talk to the ghosties
<~flibbyjibbits> "A few rooms, most of the east wing, its sort of a cross shaped building, with a wing to each direction and a central area.   Fairly certain taht the throne room is to the north, but not as much is known about the other wings. If I had to guess, I'd say the west was likely an armory or barracks, and the south probably living areas, entertainment, kitchens, and the like."
<Moonside> Lotte does. Oh wait!
<CommodoreJim> :(
<Fishfosh> I have a feeling we are going to miss having a skill monkey
<Moonside> not that we ever had to use her million skill ranks anyway
<CommodoreJim> guys stop talking about lotte you're making drom sad
<Eltrotraw> "Any other way to get in?"
<Skeleton> Think of t like this, Drom. Now you have something at home waiting for you
<~flibbyjibbits> "The only entrances are the front gate, and theres probably a second way in around the back at the barracks, but considering the luck we've had at the fron't I'm afraid to go there."
<CommodoreJim> *Drom dies during his important, history-changing thing*
<Eltrotraw> "And why not? We could bust our way in, get what we need and get out."
<~flibbyjibbits> "I suppose you could, I'm just afraid it might angrify the ghosts a bit, but if you think you could handle them.."
<Fishfosh> "I think it would be best to try to talk our way in first."
<Arkay> "I'd rather we try talking our way in. Not much harm can come from just our words."
<Arkay> "As long as we pick the right words, that is."
<~flibbyjibbits> lets say youre in front of the gatehouse now
<~flibbyjibbits> the gate was wooden so its rotted away and just leaves the entrance now
<Eltrotraw> can i kick the gate down for show
<Eltrotraw> and be like
<Skeleton> "That's a good point, Raynar."
<Eltrotraw> ("Freeze, Tombs here to gun things down")
<CommodoreJim> this is out of character for raynar
<CommodoreJim> who established himself to be CHAD
<Fishfosh> Well, does anyone still with the party have appropriate knowledge and bluff ranks?
<Fishfosh> or at least an actual good idea of what to say
<Eltrotraw> tombs has +9 bluff and +12 local
<Moonside> Well, I can't lie, so eh.
<Eltrotraw> +7 engineering though i don't think that's good
<Arkay> tombs can do it I guess
<Fishfosh> sure
<Fishfosh> Times like these I wish we had a bard
<Eltrotraw> so is there something at the entrance waiting for us? Let's have tombs lead the way for now
<Skeleton> Tombs leading the way to meet with people who belong in tombs
<Arkay> coincidence????
<~flibbyjibbits> the entrance just looks like a really old place nobodys been in for a long time
<Eltrotraw> let us keep walking forward until we meet something
<~flibbyjibbits> the first room has a door on the far wall, and tow on the right
<~flibbyjibbits> two
<~flibbyjibbits> theres some faded paintings on the walls, no longer with any real images in them, and unlit torches at regular intervals
<Eltrotraw> "So where are we goin' in here?"
<Skeleton> "Those two doors on the sides are probably linen closets"
<~flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/a5949e9ef7d784e90fa2d70dd9e61e75  dont worry about the room numbers
<Skeleton> totes linen closets
<Eltrotraw> I gues the hobbit doesn't want to guide us
<Eltrotraw> so let's keep going forward
<~flibbyjibbits> hes got no idea either
<~flibbyjibbits> this room is as far as hes got
<Skeleton> We're already beating his high score
<~flibbyjibbits> the door opens up
<~flibbyjibbits> into a small square room with an old table and chair , there are many holes in the wall, an inch or three across, that seem to go quite far into it, somne with light in the distance
<Skeleton> "Hm, this must be a holey place"
<Eltrotraw> "Remind me what you're lookin' for?"
<Eltrotraw> "This don't look like what you want."
<Fishfosh> "I wonder what would cause those holes."
<~flibbyjibbits> "Mostly anything that gives insight into how king Rakor lived, or his court mages. We know very little about either of them, since after his death there was a sort of purge of information.  I've seen references to these holes, I tihkn, they were used to communicate with elsewhere in the castle."
<Eltrotraw> "So this is somethin' you want then? This room here/"
<Skeleton> "Book burnings, right?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "No, not really.  If I had to guess, I'd say maybe this was a guard post?  Now that I think of it, if my guess as to the function is right, then our voices are being conducted to the other guard posts in the structure, which could be good or bad."
<Eltrotraw> "Well ain't that great..." Tombs makes to move out of the room.
<Arkay> "So no one not-blind wants to take a peek through these holes? I mean, I could, but I don't feel like taking drugs around ghosts."
<~flibbyjibbits> they just go on for a distance and then turn because theyre listening tubes not looking holes
<Arkay> o
<CommodoreJim> dumkay
<Eltrotraw> if tombs moves out and turms due left to the next closet, is there anything behind that door
<Eltrotraw> *turns
<~flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/aef522ee48b36ba28ce8cb6b6dc7d365
<~flibbyjibbits> two GHOST GUARDS sit at a WOODEN TABLE flipping GHOST CARDS into a GHOST HAT
<Eltrotraw> "Oh nice," Tombs whispers. "We've got hosts."
<Skeleton> oh my GOD
<~flibbyjibbits> one of them stands up and asks in a very difficult to understand accent, since people talked different a long time ago, "What is your business here?"
<Eltrotraw> "We're here from the mainland to look into somethin' inside the castle."
<Arkay> we're here to deliver a ring of bombs. did either of you play final fantasy 4?
<Eltrotraw> (bluff if necessary)
<~flibbyjibbits> wow eltro thats awful youre the worst at diplomacy
<Eltrotraw> it's in character
<Moonside> Well, since that's technically true, maybe a Diplomacy roll would be in order.
<~flibbyjibbits> could have said like
<~flibbyjibbits> a dleivery
<~flibbyjibbits> instead of saying youre looking for something
<~flibbyjibbits> i mean thats just obviously suspicious
<Eltrotraw> we are :3
<Fishfosh> even I thought to say delivery
<~flibbyjibbits> want to back up on taht and have someone less obviously criminal do the talking?
<Eltrotraw> unless i can deus ex to revert that statement to delivery then i gues the damage is done
<~flibbyjibbits> or whatever figure it out
<~flibbyjibbits> use whatever resources the party has to get past the ghost guards
<Arkay> eh just roll with it damage has been done
<Fishfosh> Pikkup steps forward "Sorry about him, he gets his words mixed up sometimes.  We have an important delivery to make."
<Eltrotraw> OKAY since apparently tombs is bad talker who else wants to give it a go
<Arkay> oh
<Skeleton> "Tombs stop trying to convince strangers you're a cop, you're not fooling or impressing anybody"
<Fishfosh> massive cha don't fail me now
<Eltrotraw> "Quiet, I've got authority in some parts"
<~flibbyjibbits> there is some good news
<~flibbyjibbits> i found my old d20
<Moonside> "good" news
<Eltrotraw> I suspect we have reason to suspect this
<~flibbyjibbits> the gaurd who stoof up is silent for some time, the other one flips another ghost card and misses the hat
<~flibbyjibbits> "Can I see some identification?"
<Eltrotraw> that necklace
<Eltrotraw> would that work
<~flibbyjibbits> which neckalce
<Eltrotraw> the rakor communicator ones or something
<Eltrotraw> drom still has it right
<Eltrotraw> can bluff it off to being like a mainland id tool or somethin idl
<Fishfosh> Or would the rings mean anything?
<~flibbyjibbits> i dont remember this can someone remind me in better detail
<~flibbyjibbits> rings might
<Eltrotraw> am i remembering something completely different omg
<Fishfosh> Well Pikkupstix wouldn't know, so he shows the ring
<Moonside> Just so that I don't never say anything, Elsa just listens to stuff intently wtihout saying anything (derp). I hope the guards don't think that her black knight-like armor is suspicious or anything.
<~flibbyjibbits> they seem to recognize the ring "Oh ok, you're here under the mage's orders, my apologies for holding you up."
<Fishfosh> "Oh, don't worry, I won't hold it against you for doing your jobs."
<Fishfosh> Well, let's go
<~flibbyjibbits> hey can you send me elsas character sheet i dont have it bookmarked
<Skeleton> "Thank you, sirs"
<Moonside> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=471952
<~flibbyjibbits> now what direction do you go
<~flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/aef522ee48b36ba28ce8cb6b6dc7d365 in the room labeled 33
<Eltrotraw> forward, methinks
<~flibbyjibbits> thats north then right
<Arkay> I say north
<Eltrotraw> yes, north
<~flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/74402552791c7964d7088afb2d8c88a8  this room seems to have formerly been a sort of main entrance area, there clearly ujsed to be nice tapestries on the wall, but they're all ruined now. additionally, part of the ceiling seems to have fallen in and crushed a table.
<~flibbyjibbits> a few ghosts mill about conversing with eachother about the latest centuries old gossip
<Eltrotraw> Can we head to the right, then? Maybe if we can head down/up we can get closer to whatever this nerd is looking for
* flibbyjibbits_ ([email protected]) has joined #ADVENTURE
<Eltrotraw> oh this esxplains stuff
<flibbyjibbits_> last i saw was saying to head to the right?
<Eltrotraw> unless we have a last minute change of plan
<Eltrotraw> because quiet
<Eltrotraw> idk
<Fishfosh> sure, right
<Arkay> right
<flibbyjibbits_> http://gyazo.com/85fe2962ad6a2a10d5e833efd7d95527  the room to the right is basically fully cleared out. hard to say waht the function was because it is entirely cleaned, floor to ceiling, nothing but polished stone tiles and complete silence.
<Eltrotraw> but there are doors
<Eltrotraw> are there holes
<Eltrotraw> gut instinct: north
<flibbyjibbits_> nope, nothing
<Arkay> North
<Eltrotraw> I have absolutely no reason to believe this, it's just a whim
<Arkay> I just like north :b
* ~flibbyjibbits ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)
* flibbyjibbits_ is now known as flibbyjibbits
<Fishfosh> seems as good as any other direction
<Skeleton> Up is better
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/981e28bb0d20e006f8f29cc51448b3e8 this room has a broken window to the right, a few empty weapons racks, a metal barrel full of arrowheads and rotted wood
<Fishfosh> Let's look to the upper left door then
<Skeleton> "How exactly do the ghosts not know they're dead? Have they had a look around lately?"
<Fishfosh> ("They didn't take any ranks in perception")
<Eltrotraw> "Still not what you're lookin' for?"
<Moonside> "I imagine it would be easier for all of us if we knew exactly /what/ we are looking for."
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/36d024e434662207d038d4619f2bab64  theres an empty bookshelf along the far left wall
<Fishfosh> That little hallway looks redundant
<flibbyjibbits> "Records, things the king owned,  rooms he spent time in, or the mage, you heard the ghosts, he lived here, too."
<Fishfosh> "The king owned all of it, didn't he?"
<Fishfosh> "That's the point of being king."
<flibbyjibbits> "Technically true, yes, but I mean, the rooms that he spent his free time in, or where he worked or lived in.  Well he probably went to all these rooms at some point, but I'd assume there were some he kept just for purely personal or entertainment reasons. I heard that he had a room dedicated to storing parts of dead dragons, for example, or a room of just paintings of himself, too.  "
<Eltrotraw> Tombs scowls. Can we go southeast from 15?
<Skeleton> I'm beginning to suspect Rakor had some kind of dragon-hurting fetish
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/1ab4d53e2ca15b3989eec0b092662f8b  to save some time just revealing that whole area and i put the "collapsed rubble" color on the wrong layer and fucked it up but whatever
<Eltrotraw> oh
<Eltrotraw> TIME TO SCOWL, DEAD END MORE LIKE COCKBLOCK
<Moonside> We should check that last room in 38.
<Arkay> yeah, why not
<flibbyjibbits> its just a collapsed hallway
<Skeleton> "Shoot!"
<CommodoreJim> :U
<Fishfosh> There's still one more door, right?
<flibbyjibbits> the other way in 33 not counting secret doors noboy found
<flibbyjibbits> nobody
<Moonside> Oh, so NOW we need Lotte.
<Arkay> flib :c
<Fishfosh> Oh, and I suppose I could levitate someone through the collapsed ceiling in the big entrance hall
<Arkay> neat
<flibbyjibbits> you could i guess
<Fishfosh> but I can't levitate everyone and don't wanna split up
<Fishfosh> So, to the other door in 33
<Skeleton> I could Spider-Man Climb
<Fishfosh> Unless someone wants to look for secret doors
<Fishfosh> Like behind the bookshelf
<Fishfosh> bookshelves are always suspicious
<Fishfosh> matter of fact let's push the bookshelf first
<Eltrotraw> if we weren't concerned about cover i would shoot everything
<Fishfosh> This is not MEtroid
<Fishfosh> You don't shoot every surface with every weapon to find secrets
<Skeleton> Is it Metroid y/n
<bitdroid> No
<flibbyjibbits> the booksehlf collspes because it was a peice of shit when it was built 800 years ago
<Skeleton> Okay
<Arkay> Let's just head through 33
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/28a7fbcc1e5838b16665b671db54fcff
<flibbyjibbits> on the other side is a quite large room,
<Arkay> oh
<Skeleton> Those doors look expensive
<flibbyjibbits> [the bookshelf basically collapsed to a heap of dust when it was lightly touched]
<flibbyjibbits> this seemed to have been a dining hall before, with some stone chairs and tabled
<flibbyjibbits> the ceiling has a stained glass mural depicting rakor fighting a black dragon
<flibbyjibbits> is mural the right word for a stained glass skylight thing
<flibbyjibbits> whatever
<Eltrotraw> does that mean we can have thing
<Eltrotraw> a way up
<flibbyjibbits> theres some ghosts that don't seem to notice you, they seem to be reliving a party and eating and driking ghost food
<Skeleton> Rotten eclairs
<Arkay> ghost food?
<Arkay> hey wait these ghosts don't even know they're dead
<Arkay> so
<Arkay> what if we're dead
<Arkay> and we don't know it
<Fishfosh> spoilers
<Moonside> We're not, or we would be getting 50% chance of not getting hit against enemy attacks.
<flibbyjibbits> also in the center of the room theres a well
<Arkay> maybe everything else is dead too
<flibbyjibbits> like between the two big stone tables
<Eltrotraw> perception mural
<Eltrotraw> is something strange about it
<flibbyjibbits> its very well made, good art, except his face is completely circular and almost featureless except his eyes
<Moonside> "That is... peculiar."
<flibbyjibbits> i can stay for about 45 more minutes then gotta go because tomorow i gotta study a lot, just saying this now
<Moonside> Well, let's check out that open door.
<flibbyjibbits> gyazo.com/441328e98385d88e74a64d26487040d8  the well is actually in this side room, not the main one
<flibbyjibbits> huh dunno why that one didnt link
<Fishfosh> no http://
<Moonside> How deep does it seem to be?
<flibbyjibbits> quite deep
<flibbyjibbits> oddly enough
<Eltrotraw> oh
<flibbyjibbits> it looks like theres a ladder going down into the stagnant water
<Eltrotraw> I thought I typed in to go check out the face
<Eltrotraw> but let's follow that
<flibbyjibbits> did you mean follow the ladder?
<Skeleton> what a thrill
<flibbyjibbits> theres about two feet before its in the deep water that cant be seen through
<Fishfosh> Well, let's look at one of the other doors in 13 then
<Fishfosh> southwest, why not
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/46542ff61a0572416c38ebfb37fd172c  theres a few small skeletons, maybe kobolds, scattered on the floor, two ghost guards standing over them, "Horrible creatures, aren't they? Where do they come from? Why do they come here? Don't they know?"
<Fishfosh> The guards said that?
<flibbyjibbits> yes
<flibbyjibbits> talking to eachother
<flibbyjibbits> these ones do seem to notice you, but dont say anything
<Fishfosh> Is there anything else in here?  Perception maybe?
<Skeleton> A big blue circle
<Fishfosh> that was the stagnant well
<flibbyjibbits> the kobolds came from the door to the west
<flibbyjibbits> what killed them was behind them
<Arkay> :o
<Moonside> Let's see the eastern door before we do that.
<flibbyjibbits> judging by their state of decomposition they died fairly recently too
<Fishfosh> wow
<Fishfosh> They probably just wanted to steal things
<Fishfosh> anyway yeah, let's go east
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/8e24aadb3aed2fdb62a1d129b26eb4c0  this clearly used to be a kitchen
* CommodoreJim ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: I can never stop exploding)
<Moonside> Anything of note?
<flibbyjibbits> i doubt any food is still good
<flibbyjibbits> it is extremely quiet
<flibbyjibbits> brb
<Fishfosh> No enchanted +3 silver butterknives?
<Fishfosh> or spoons
<flibbyjibbits> doesnt seem to be much magic there at all even
<Fishfosh> I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the east door is a closet
<Fishfosh> Because not much else could fit there
<Fishfosh> So, let's look
<flibbyjibbits> it used to be a pantry yes
<Fishfosh> Devoid of useful contents?
<Skeleton> A pantry where thing could be hidden!
<flibbyjibbits> appeares to have been looted
<Skeleton> Good thinking
<flibbyjibbits> theres kobold footprints in the dust so maybe some got by
<Fishfosh> oh
<Fishfosh> To the south!
<flibbyjibbits> http://gyazo.com/c05a948fbc6f5b34f411c6d1e53c95f0  the light grey area is where the walls and ceiling have collapsed, but it can be walked over with some difficulty
<Moonside> How's 30 and 36?
<flibbyjibbits> 36 is servants quarters, theres some beds and a few little metal hatches in the floor underneath each of them
<flibbyjibbits> 30 was just a big fancy corridor room, the tapestries still hang, shredded up, on the wall
<Moonside> Guess we're heading over to 27, then. Acrobatics check?
<flibbyjibbits> 27 was an open-air courtyard with a small garden surrounding a large statue of king rakor slashing a drake with his axe, a water fountain coming from the creature's neckwound
<flibbyjibbits> he was a classy guy
<flibbyjibbits> its also a bit weird that the water fountain is still active, but perhaps magic
<flibbyjibbits> "This is fitting with what we know about him.  He really hated dragons just so much. "
<Fishfosh> "Clearly...
<Fishfosh> "
<Skeleton> "I wonder why?"
<Skeleton> "We met one, and he was real nice"
<Moonside> "Indeed. I do not imagine that dragons are inherently evil. Such hatred for an entire species borders on the illogical."
<flibbyjibbits> "It is believed that the village he was born in was razed by one, that he was the lone survivor, he claimed that a spirit told him to hide in the town well, and that was essentially his motivation from then on."
<Skeleton> "Hey! You should tell that to Telmar"
<Moonside> What are these other door symbols?
<flibbyjibbits> dont worry about the door symbols
<flibbyjibbits> i just used a generator to get the layour and it autoadds traps and locks and stuff
<Moonside> Hm, ok.
<Moonside> Let's check the two northern ones, then.
<Fishfosh> And check to make sure the fountain is magic
<Fishfosh> using magic
<Skeleton> Detect Magic
<Fishfosh> exactly
<Skeleton> Is fountain magic
<flibbyjibbits> there is some permenent spell that pumps the water from the pool up into the fountain
<Skeleton> The fountain is magic
<Skeleton> Confirmed
<Skeleton> Confirmed
<flibbyjibbits> the door on the right leads to more servants quarters, the door on the left opens into a large room, with a large steel door on the other side
<flibbyjibbits> there is a smaller statue of rakor opposing the door, posed like he should be holding something, but he isnt
<flibbyjibbits> and its about time for me to go, sorry not much got done but we started a lot later than usual and im leaving earlier than usual because more finals but oh well these things happen
<Arkay> night flib
<Skeleton> seeya
<Fishfosh> night
<Moonside> Interestingly, this is already later than we would have finished at the beginning of our adventuring.
<Moonside> Regardless, bye.
<Fishfosh> We weren't starting as late back then, though
<Arkay> winter break is coming up though so maybe we can have an extra session somewhere along the line?
<Fishfosh> http://1d4chan.org/images/4/43/Neutronium_golem_page.png Let's grind up our characters over winter break so we'll be ready for one of these
<Moonside> CR 9999999
<flibbyjibbits> neutronium cant exist though
<Fishfosh> ssh
<Fishfosh> it's neutron degenerate matter
<flibbyjibbits> now a much more realistic enemy
<flibbyjibbits> a flourine golem
<Fishfosh> AKA the core of a neutron star
<flibbyjibbits> now thats worth being concerned aobut
<flibbyjibbits> i guess a flourine golem wouldnt be much different than a combined acid and fire elemental
<Fishfosh> neutronium golems have a slam attack that does about twice the HP of an earth-sized planet on average though
<Fishfosh> and perfect flight of light speed
<Moonside> I'm pretty sure that makes one of those more powerful than some gods.
<Fishfosh> Than pretty much any god, I think
<Fishfosh> Notice the adventure ideas section includes one in which one of these is summoned to destroy all gods in the universe
<Moonside> I like how one of the ideas is about what happened after one was destroyed.
<Fishfosh> That one sounds like the most interesting to me, too
<Moonside> Also, oh, didn't see that they're actually CR 9721.
<Fishfosh> No, that's the Spellcraft DC to make one
<Fishfosh> I don't think this book has CRs
<Moonside> It's in the stats at the beginning.
<Fishfosh> oh
<Fishfosh> I'm not used to seeing it written out as Challenge Rating gerp
<Fishfosh> derp
<Fishfosh> herp
* flibbyjibbits ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 17.0.1/20121128204232])
<Moonside> Also, damage reduction of 1500.
<Fishfosh> Fast healing 1500 as well
<Fishfosh> Not that those really matter too much against 2 million hp
<Moonside> Man, I can't help but find this completely ridiculous, like someone just mashed their hands on a number pad to see what sort of stats they'd get.
<Fishfosh> It's the most powerful monster in any 3.5e splatbook afaik
<Fishfosh> Immortal's Handbook: Epic Bestiary is apparently full of things that could make a meal out of gods, though
<Moonside> Having an Epic-level game should be fun.
<Fishfosh> http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/A'tuin_the_Star_Turtle oh, the same guy who made that stat'd A'Tuin from Discworld
<Fishfosh> DR 15,234,372/?
<Fishfosh> welp
<Arkay> that is totes a yugioh card I think
<Fishfosh> There's probably a world turtle sort of yugioh card I guess
<Arkay> oh
<Arkay> Cosmic Turtle
<Fishfosh> But it says at bottom that this is the Discworld A'Tuin
<Moonside> I wonder what stats Galactus would have.
