Hawk Hubertins: Hey guys, we need to be careful about what we say around Marjorie. Apparently she doesn't trust us.
Abraxinal gave me a note. Marjorie spoke with Adrias before she got our report.
Nidranisan: interesting. as in, she's aware we left out some information?
Fi: Well, it's to be expected. At some point we are going to need to decide who besides Dakan we can share this information with.
Vegeta: hmph... I hate all these politics... I trust you'll handle this. I'm going to look into something... I'll see you guys later

Vegeta leaves the group
Fi: There goes the "Prince" who can't deal with politics. I guess that is why leadership by birth fell out of favor.
Vegeta: LOL
Hernz: that was ooc
Nidranisan snickers.

Micel is as usual staring at the starry ceiling of his room.
Micel Verdantflame: Welcome back, welcome back. I hope you have more Black Sendrine for me.
Micel is surprised when you show him the blades.
Micel Verdantflame: ...such crude craftsmanship...Elven craft? They merged the Black Sendrine with these weapons.
Ugh, what a waste. My superiors won't be pleased...
Fi: Also, there were these Orcs...
Micel Verdantflame: I can't do much with these weapons...I suppose I'll give you 100 platinum pieces for it all.

Micel Verdantflame: Assuming you want me to hold on to it.
Orcs. What now?
Fi: There is another group gathering Sendrine. These weapons were originally stolen from them.
Micel Verdantflame leans back in his chair, then stands up straight as Fi talks.
Fi: They then stole the other sendrine which was located.
Micel Verdantflame: A rival? Hmpf.
Fi: Some kind of teleport.
Micel Verdantflame: A teleportation effect...that suggests some kind of Outsider interference.
Now that is something my superiors will want to know about.
Fi: We suspect someone working with the RedTooth clan. We are headed in that direction soon.
Micel Verdantflame: We're not the only ones who know about the existence of Black Sendrine.
Obviously, but forging weapons out of them...
Fi: This set ended up being used to break apart and angel stuck as a statue.
Micel Verdantflame: Many of the extraplanar creatures have trouble freely manifesting in this Plane. They tend to have some kind of obvious defect.

Fi will let others fill in details on the angel and "CK"
Chris: or whatever that abbreviation was.
Micel Verdantflame: Jubilation had to form a simulacrum of the deceased. Latrop has to possess you directly. Perseverance and its headband.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I would correct people, but I think it's funnier to assume Calvin Klein is working with the Orcs to destroy Angels.
Chris: It's hard to scroll through the history to find a two letter abbreviation.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, I know. It's amazingly hard to break up this chat log by story arc. I'd have to create an all new campaign to preserve logs without keep a gigantic history.
Chris: CF. Thanks for the summaries.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): At some point, Micel will give a chemistry lesson on the black-bladed weapons.
Micel Verdantflame: While these outsiders cannot be destroyed, they can be sufficiently weakened. Or maybe they can with these blades?
Nidranisan: Hmm.
This just seems to get stranger and stranger.
With the whole div aspect, and now the orcs getting involved.
Cat: i wonder if we should see whether Dakan knows anything about Micel's "superiors"

Vegeta eventually joins back with the party

gametime May 2, 1236 AD (evening)

(GM) Chad S. (GM): The only question for your guys is: Are you going to trade the weapons for the 100 PP?
Chris: So, the suggestion is that these weapons might be useful on certain types of outsiders?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): That's for you to find out ?Mystery?
But you suspect they were used to destroy Pentinence.
Note that these weapons are broken.
Chris: Are they repairable at all, or is that impossible?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): While you don't know a lot about crafting, you do know Black Sendrine is a relatively brittle metal. It would take a skilled Blacksmith (and some Black Sendrine) to reforge it.
*reforge them
Chris: ok. Well, I'm capable of using the arrowheads and maybe the sword. I'm not sure if anyone can use the other weapons.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll put Fi down for a "no" then.
Er, "no, let's keep the broken weapons"
Fi: These might be useful if we have trouble fighting certain creatures.
Vegeta: Do you really want weapons that break so easily?
Cat: given that i don't use weapons, i'm find with whatever you guys want.
depending on the mechanic, if the weapons take damage before they completely break, mending might be of help between battles :)
Hernz: how many arrowheads are there? this gonna be like the ONE +5 arrow I gave you guys that one time? lol
Fi: You may recall when we fought one of the angels, that we had trouble damaging her. In theory, these may get around that despite their current state.
Vegeta: ha ha! I promise you those days are over Fi

Vegeta has a stupid smirk on his face

(GM) Chad S. (GM): So Fi votes 1, Nidri and Vegeta abstain.
Micel Verdantflame: Fine, keep it. I can't use them much anyway.
George: hawk votes to keep some black unobtanium.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The Ayes have it, then.
The party chooses to keep the broken weapons.
Where to next?
(Hernz, when you get the chance, take a look at the new Unchained Monk. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/unchained-classes/monk-unchained)

gametime May 2, 1236 AD (evening)

Lord Dakan's manor in Cliffside has a beautiful view of the sea from its western facing windows.
Dakan is sitting in his chair, staring out the window. On the table, lays an closed journal bearing the Carfen family seal.
His servant respectfully bows out of the room after leading you to him.
Alexen Dakan: Greetings, friends. Hannelore told me about your adventures in Mardens City. I wanted to ask you personally but I heard you had run off to solve another mystery.
Of course I dispatched Hannelore to solve another mystery, so who am I to talk. Haha.
Hawk Hubertins: Hello Lord Dakan. We've certainly had quite a busy time lately.
Alexen Dakan: We checked Carfen's home from top to bottom. He had...destroyed much of his home's interior. Slashed, smashed and destroyed several gifts from others.
It's good to see you, Hawk.
Recovery efforts have been successful, and crime has returned...to normal.
Well, mostly normal. Several members from the Magmere Construction Corporation have surrendered or wound up dead. They're running scared from something they call the "Night Guardian".
Alexen Dakan shakes his head
Alexen Dakan: Carfen would have laughed at this stupid rumor. What a good friend, he was.
Here. Take a read.
Carfen pushes the book across the table towards you. The book is a well-made journal, filled with smudge resistant pages and excellent penmanship.
Cat: ...this sounds familiar...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can read the "Lord Carfen's Diary" handout
Cat: does the weird hunger thing ring any bells?
either div-aspect wise, or with the look i got at the ring?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Make an Int check.
Cat:
Nidranisan : Intelligence
Check	16
As you look through the diary the pages become more and more frayed and the handwriting degrades. Eventually the pages are nothing more than black scribbles across shredded pages.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): For reference: You were investigating the caves underneath the city and fighting the Cult of COBRA on April 18
Cat: huuuh.
Nidranisan: Well, that confirms some suspicious about this CF character I guess.
Cat: not sure i'm coming up with any other questions for dakan about carfen/CF, but i do want to see if he knows more about Micel's "superiors" before we leave.
Fi: Marjorie is becoming suspicious that we are not telling her something. I'm not sure that we can continue to separate our assistance here from our office duties. Pretty much everything that the EFTC has sent us to investigate has turned up outsider influence. Do you feel that we can safely discuss this with her. I feel that she knows what it is to keep a secret.
Hernz: oh come on! that monk can actually hit and do damage! f'ing A!
Vegeta: based on that diary, anyone else think that ring might be cursed?
Hawk Hubertins: I agree, Fi. I think it would be better if we just talk to Marjorie about everything that's going on. I trust micel less at this point. There's something odd about his obsession with the sendrine.
realtime 5/28, 9:09 PM
gametime 5/2 (evening)
Lord Dakan listens carefully to the party's words after they read the diary.
Alexen Dakan: ...The East Ferren Trading Company. They are quite knowledgable about the land, religion, and powers that be.
Shavani's Third Eye tells her much about the future. It is not perfect, but it does give her instinct.
She mentioned that she would meet you in the Krimson Forest in a few days. I suppose that's where you're going next.
Micel has remained very neutral in my dealings with him. As long as he can stare at the stars, he doesn't care about the ground beneath him.
The East Ferren Trading Company has given you more and more responsibility ever since Merki's passing. It is only a matter of time until they will press you for more information. I suppose you will either have to join them or leave them at that point.
Nidranisan: I think we're at a point where it makes sense to trust Marjorie with what we have, and evaluate how EFTC handles it.
I don't think we're at a point of having discovered anything so terribly earth-shattering.
You have to trust someone, to find out if they're trustworthy...
I would like to see if she has or can get any more info on Micel or his superiors.
In other news, yes, we have business that will take us to the Krimson Forest, and probably other stops that direction as well.
Cat: I examined that ring pretty carefully, but I don't remember if it was technically cursed.
realtime 5/29, 9:50 PM
Alexen Dakan: It sounds like you have decided on who to trust. It's not easy, that's for sure. Carfen trusted me, even with that ring.
Is there anything else I can do for you all? It is getting late, unfortunately.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's the evening time. If you don't have any more questions for Dakan, you should mention where you want to go next.
Cat: does the team want to do an off-hours check-in with marjorie, or do the krimson forest thing tomorrow and then confide in her when we feel like we "have the whole story"?
(i mean, leave tomorrow, to do the forest bit...not that it'll be done in a day...)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I was gonna say...it usually takes 3 days to travel to the Krimson Forest.

Hawk Hubertins yawns.
George: I think we should call it a night and either talk to Marjorie in the morning, or fill her in on everything when we get back.
Realtime 5/30/2015 4:15 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like you guys are going to bed for the night. I'll fast forward to the 3rd unless you have anything else to do.
Morning it is!


Another sunny day.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Where to next?
George: Gather at our office in the morning before we head out, and then decide if we want to talk to Marjorie before we leave?
Fi: I'm uncertain if it is better to tell her about this before or after the next trip. So far 2 out of 3 of the missions have involved Sendrine. That is making it feel like there is a strong connection to the missions that we are on for EFTC and our own mission. We could either wait until after mission 3 and be certain or now under the assumption that it is true.
Vegeta: I say we wait... we might have more information to make an informed decision after we go to the forest
Hawk Hubertins: That's reasonable. I do think the EFTC is trustworthy, with my various dealings with them, so I'm inclined to share what we learn once we have the whole story, but I'm also ok waiting until we have the whole story.

gametime May 3, 1236 AD (morning)

(GM) Chad S. (GM): It sounds like Vegeta's vote wins.
The party walks past Lendolay's office and note the line is longer than usual. Torras is surprisingly hungover.
Marjorie's office is already busy as moneylenders, accountants and deliverymen are dealing with earlier shipments.
After a few minutes, Marjorie manages to delegate some of her duties to her subordinates and invites the party to her office in the back.
Marjorie Mel: I trust all of you are rested? I want to thank you for your hard work and efforts to locate the missing crates.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The Krimson Forest requested your presence by name. They were adamant and refused my efforts to send other employees. You left quite a mark on them.
Recovery efforts have been slow, yet steady, and they have gradually accepted more of our help. Recently however, there has been unrest in the Redtooth Lands.
My scouts tell me a war has broken out among the various Redtooth factions and the Krimson have been caught in the crossfire.
My scouts also mentioned something about a crate bearing our company seal hauled off by Orcs not too long before the fighting began. Given the other two incidents you have looked into, this seems like more than just a coincidence.
(Oh hey, maybe I should use the correct speaker for this)
Marjorie Mel coughs
Marjorie Mel repeats what Chad S. (GM) just said
Marjorie Mel: I ask you to go to the Krimson Forest at their behest and accept their request. I feel they know more about the crate than they initially told us.
When you are ready, visit Jovias Dewleaf. Now then, are there any questions I can answer for you?

And of course, we hope to continue building a relationship there on behalf of the Company.

Marjorie Mel: Yes, yes. I believe they spotted the crate about a week before conflict broke out in earnest.
I believe that is all I can offer for now. The Krimson Forest will be in your debt- quite the opportunity.
Meghan: I'm gonna need to get a rundown of what happened from Chris
I closed this tab accidentally a couple of weeks ago and forgot about it. Something felt like it was missing, but ...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): What's the last thing you remember? I remember you burning some rats.
Meghan: probably that, yeah
and intimidating a witch
and good-copping a statue
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ah, OK. So I still have the handouts from questioning the statue. It collapsed afterward.
Meghan: yeah, I think I remember that bit
Cat: all we've really done is, like, debrief from that stuff.
we talked to micel and dakan.
and didn't tell marjorie much.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Captain Dakan let you read Lord Carfen's Diary and let you muse about your alliegiances.
Your third task is to head to the Krimson Forest and help them. They noticed Orcs tracking a crate into the Redtooth Lands.
Abraxinal warned Hawk that Marjorie suspects the party is withholding information from her.
Cat: we mostly decided to finish up the redtooth/krimson bit, then explain it all.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup. Fast forwarding a little.
Jovias Dewleaf is with the local alchemists guild. Although he (literally) looks down on the Gnomish practicioners, he seems to be more disciplined.
Jovias Dewleaf drops a vial into a crate and nails it shut
Meghan: cool
Jovias Dewleaf: Oh! Hello all. Just tell me when you are ready to travel out. I need to deliver these medical supplies to the outer town.
These Gnomes are quite practiced in their alchemy. I've learned much.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): People should make their final preparations before they head out of town.
Nidranisan: If anyone needs some equipment of some kind...perhaps Claire could get a good price for this ring.
Unless someone has need of a...ring of swimming?
Meghan: I can try
last i checked the mechanic for bartering didn't work out so great in our favor even with a success
Cat: heh. even if we don't use a bartering mechanic, we'll probably have you do the talking just because people like you more :)
Hernz: yeah, I don't see much use for that ring... sell away
btw, I'm totally confused on what the latest loot is...

Alright, make your Diplomacy rolls to barter in Traderstrip.
I'm gonna get this run moving soon, so,

Fi will help 14
Nidri will help 20

So that's a 9 bonus
And now Claire will make the sale! 37

Claire's sweet words earn her a bonus. She can sell things for 65% of its purchase price.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright folks, expect a battle soon.

Hawk Hubertins prepares for battle!
Chris: I've copied the new loot to the Loot! page and added pricing.
Does anyone want any of it?
Anything special that I need to do to convert the Sendrine arrowheads to arrows?
Also Fi wants to find out more about Star Metal since we evidently have a lump of it.
George: That's easy! Star metal is what's used to banish the followers of Set back to the negative zone...
Meghan: hah. I would've done better if Claire had taken 10.
Chris: Amusingly enough that joke was in the history long before the star metal showed up in game.
Meghan: that's funny
Chris: So now I guess George has told the same joke twice in the chat archive ;-)
Hawk Hubertins: So I repeat myself. :P
George: Err, ooc.
Cat: i don't need any of the loot.
Meghan: Same
Hernz: lol
sell the loot
George: I was thinking about the studded leather, but I think Hawk'll be good without it.
Chris: Ok. 450GP, 2SP, and 6CP per character.
It's on the Loot list. Add your character to the list when you've noted it on your character sheet.

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Star metal is an extremely rare material, said to be delivered by the gods themselves from some long forgotten battle.
It is extremely difficult to forge into weaponry, but those Star metal weapons are extremely durable.
The fact that it's a perfect cube is extremely suspect - who would go through the trouble of forging a cube of this tough metal?
Once you guys finish purchases...
With supplies ready, Jovias bids goodbye to his Gnomish inventors and prepares his horse.
May 3 and May 4 travel with no incidents. Jovias talks mostly to Fi, although he is actually willing to speak to the party members.
Jovias Dewleaf: This...wasn't the business relationship I expected, honestly. Marjorie's knowledge in the healing arts, and the alchemy guild Melanie introduced me to have been enlightening.
Now I help deliver aid to the Krimson Forest. And in exchange we have allowed some of the Company's agents into the outermost town.

Jovias Dewleaf: Uh, you do that.
Fi: Tiger and something else...
Jovias, can you wake Nidri and Claire? I'll get Hawk and Vegeta. I would prefer we don't get too noisy yet.

Meghan is attacking Zombie B with PoB (undead)!
Meghan: Attack Result: 7
Damage Result: 19
PoB (undead) uses remaining: 0
Notes: Touch attack or throw it as splash weapon. Splash 10'. Must make a Fortitude save or be dazzled for 2d4 rounds. Splash area takes 1d6 damage and must save or be dazzled for 1d4 rounds. The flash from the breaking pearl of brilliance counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level. A darkness spell of equal or higher level counters or dispels pearl of brilliance.
Claire: ugh
Meghan: pretty sure I have more than 0 left
(GM) Chad S. (GM): What's the DC on this?
Meghan: that's a good question
Claire's Pearl of Brilliance misses, but the release of light deals 9 damage to Zombie B.
Claire: ah, undead take 1d6 points of damage plus 1 point per caster level ... yeah
save is ... I dunno. it's level 1.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): What's your Cha bonus?
Claire: zombie D is within range, too
5
cha is 20
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, so the DC should be 10+5+1 = 16
Zombie B's Fort Save 15
Claire: lol nope
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Zombie B is blinded for 3 rounds as the brilliant light overwhelms him.
Pearl's misdirection 5
Zombie D is burned by the pearl's radiance and is reduced to a pile of holy ash.
Waiting for Nidri.
Cat: riiiight.
if i cast a cure on a zombie does it do damage?
Chris: yes. they get a will save.
Cat: So i could try to go tap zombie B
and finish that one off.
and i need a touch attack too?
Chris: I think so.
Cat: quick macro test
lol failz
yeaaaah ok, maybe i'll just roll some dice myself.
so can you cast and then run up, or do i have to cast this defensively too? :)
Chris: You can cast as a standard, then move, and finally touch as a free action.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): What Chris said. Your touch attack bonus is your BAB + Str bonus, so...
Which spell are you casting? Cure Light Wounds?
Your BAB should be 3-1 Str + 1 Bardsong = 3
The DC will be 10 + Cha + Spell Level
Nidranisan: was gonna go cure mode maybe
mod
Cat: er, yeah, that was ooc :)
so
Nidranisan: dieroll 1d20+2
lolz
Cat: why so my brain fail.
Nidranisan: 19
THERE I TOUCHED IT.
Nidranisan casts Cure Moderate Wounds!
Nidranisan: Zombie B - heal 16 HPs.
Cat: where by "heal" I mean ...
Chris: HOLY LASER! oh wait wrong run.
Cat: cha mod is +4
so i guess 10 + 4 + 2 = 16 will save?
oh hey, i forgot bard song. even though chad spelled it all out for me.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Zombie B Will Save 21
Cat: of course, heh.
still takes half tho right?
The Zombie with the top hat is seared by Nidri's energy. It resists some but not all of it.
Nidranisan: Thought you wanted to dance.
The Zombie howls "all will dance soon enough!"
Nidranisan: Kinda doubting that with your current track record.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The tiger shifts forward and tears into Jovias.
Tiger Jr claws Jovias hitting AC 22 for 12 damage. Tries to grab Jovias for free with a CMB check of 32
Tiger Jr claws Jovias hitting AC 13 for 7 damage. Tries to grab Jovias for free with a CMB check of 32
Tiger Jr bites Jovias hitting AC 28 for 15 damage. Tries to grab Jovias for free with a CMB check of 26
Tiger Jr crit confirms Jovias hitting AC 24 for 10 damage. Tries to grab Jovias for free with a CMB check of 25
Fi: Dear God.
Cat: ...
how completely dead is dewleaf?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (rereads carefully) ....yuuuup.
Jovias holds fast, but he is no match for the tiger's claw and bite! He manages to dodge the claw but is bitten right in the head. The tiger quickly drops his body, drooling.
Meghan: we didn't really need that NPC
is Jovias good?
'cause I could take 2 steps south and ray of burning fire him for healing
Cat: he is an elf. they're always little good two-shoes right? ;)

Chris points at Fi.
Cat: i mean, if someone can sneeze on the tiger next round, i can get over there.
before he bleeds.
Zombie B's scar closes slightly.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Zombie B guesses where Nidri is (high = correct) 15
Zombie B, blinded by Claire's Pearl of Briliance, swings through the air. "My dear tiger has found another member! Master Daculon will be pleased!"

Hawk Hubertins: Type: P
Hawk's arrow finishes off what Jovias and Fi started.
George: I totally kill-scummed that. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): KILLSTEAL
Chris: That's fine. I was going to have Fleir run down otherwise. Works out better this way.
George: Instead Fleir gets to munch on rancid zombie guts?

Cat: "but he couldn't get a choke hold on his hunber."
Yummy yummy yummy! Fleir mows down another zombie.
Cat: cough hunger
George: Not for human children?
Cat: the next day, he had a case of the muncies.
George: Yes dear.
Cat: well that's going to be unfortunate.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Moving, Fleir?
Cat: flank B? :)
Chris: sure, why not.
Cat: that'd be why nidri has a dagger now! :)
Chris: Of course, you are probably going to try to run off to Jovias next anyway... right?
Cat: uh, no, no real...point to that.
Chris: Is he an ex-elf?
Cat: we're going to need someone a lot more skilled to deal with him at this point.
George: He wouldn't voom if you put 4 million volts through him!
Cat: well, the two pieces might.
y'know, separately.
Chris: Guess I was under the mistaken impression that he had more hitpoints than Fi.
Cat: yeaaaah, looks like no.
i mean, it's looking like a lost cause from here.
George: Luckily Hawk is on the other side of the tent from what's left of Jovias, or he might be turning green.
Cat: hence "well that's going to be unfortunate."
we were just thinking maybe someone in the krimson forest can help him out.
Chris: I think Chad is proving that he doesn't like elves.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): tiger flies off Scratch one bogey
Hernz: why did veg provoke? I 5ft stepped back... anyway, he missed that, so anyway
Chris: You were in the tent to start with. Not sure.

Vegeta maintains his blue aura, movves and shoots another energy blast... have fun hitting him zombie A
Hernz: maybe

Vegeta shoots an energy blast at Zombie A!

Vegeta has 6 ki remaining
Vegeta: Presto! you're dead!
Chris: He still gets an AoO on you first :-P
Hernz: yeah, the way chad's been rolling... he'll crit kill me first lol
realtime 6/8, 9:10 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): On the east coast, baby!
Zombie A walked right next to Vegeta while he was prone (unless Vegeta sleeps standing up)
Hernz: yeah, after chris said it, I forgot it was only the first round
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta provokes from Zombie A. Zombie A's AoO: 8 for 5 damage
Vegeta dodges the Zombie's lunge and releases another blast from his palm, obliterating the scourge.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): That just leaves Zombie B.
Fi, Claire and Nidri are up.
Vegeta: hey, ranged touch follows same rules for shooting into melee?
Hernz: oops, ooc
Chris: I think so.
Hernz: 4 penalty, right?
Chris: yeah.
Hernz: k, tx
Chris: Fi will have an unapplied +2 to attack on these from Fleir and Nidri.

Fi: Type: piercing
Cat: heh. so how's B looking after that?
Chris: probably staggered thanks to the DR.
Cat: i could bad touch.
again.
looks like there's very little healing needed on the party.
Fi's arrows quickly pierce the Zombie's hat. It can barely stand at this point.
Chris: Well, it's all up to you or Claire.
Cat: this might not be a great thing for claire to throw stuff into the middle of? :)
Hernz: NPC healing?
Cat: so what's the deal with casting defensively? concentration check?
Chris: NPC is dead dead dead.
Hernz: oh... lol
Cat: yeah, npc is totally toast.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Casting defensively: Caster level check vs DC 15 + 2 * spell level.
Your caster level check is 1d20 + Oracle level + Cha mod
Cat: yeah, i have a +2 from something else, a feat i think.
so my check is like, +10
if i go with cure light, i have to make a 17?
if i just cast it, and he takes the AOO and it hits, do i lose the spell?
Chris: You would have to make another check to hold it.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If you get hit, you need to make a Concentration check of... DC 10 + spell level + damage
Cat: so...if i'm not worried about taking one hit, i might as well try it and see if he hits me?
so he has to hit and do more than 6 damage to reach the same probability of failure.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes.
Cat: has this guy been kicking ass or not so much?
Chris: I don't think he has hit anything yet.
Cat: yeah i'm probably not too worried about it then.
he's been fast healing thou
er, though.
Chris: In fact, I think the only productive enemy was the tiger.
Cat: yeah, but that one was really "productive" ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): And WHAT a production, eh? Eh?
Cat: i'd say that was destructive rather tha nproductive ;)
ok, i'll cast cure mod.
you want to resolve his AOO first and then see if i hit the touch attack?
nidri's having fun test-driving her shiny new spell.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Casting will provoke.
Cat: yeah.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, Cat provokes. Let's see if Zombie B can deal with concealment (low = he does) 48
Cat: heh.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Zombie B takes an AoO against Nidri, hitting AC 7 for 3 damage
Whiff!
Cat: lolz.
btw do i really still have a point of dex damage?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You travelled for 2 more days, so probably not
Cat: bardsong should still be up, and i get flanking? :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes.
Cat: touch attack: 22
Nidranisan casts Cure Moderate Wounds!
Nidranisan: Zombie B - heal 15 HPs.
Nidranisan dances circles around zombie B.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Zombie B's Will Save DC 10
Nidranisan: Neener.
Nidri does a quick jig as she blasts the Zombie with healing magic. Instead of turning to ash, the Zombie turns into a cloud.
Nidranisan: Yeah, there was something funny about this guy.
Fi: WTF?
Cat: did all his equipment go too?
Nidranisan: ...you weren't assuming the dancing top-hat zombie was actually some kind of Outsider?
Chris: Quick, someone put him in a bottle.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can make a spellcraft check
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Spellcraft
Check	19
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The gear did go poof as well.
Cat: anyone wanna help?
Claire: sure
Claire : Spellcraft
Check	12
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire helps!
Nidri realizes this cloud is similar to the gaseous form spell.
What will you do, Claire?
Claire: so pew pew holy lazers or pearl of brilliance?
you guys are all going to take splash damage from the pearl of brilliance
Cat: well, it gains DR 10/magic
Claire: is jovias dead?
Nidranisan: as a doornail. :\
Claire: whups
if it's evil, I could holy lazer it
if it's not ... you guys ok taking a pearl to the face?
Hernz: sounds like bad porn aim
Chris: It would probably be for the best that you don't blind Fleir and Nidri in case it needs more afterwards.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Paralyzed by decision...should've played a fighter
Chris: Actually she is busy IRL.
Cat: yeah, pearl to the face for both of us probably not a great outcome...

Claire is attacking with Pew Pew Holy Lazer!
Claire: Attack Result: 8
Damage Result: 5
Type: divine
Pew Pew Holy Lazer uses remaining: 4
Notes: Only hurts evil creatures. Ray. Use up to 8 per day.
Claire: welp
Cat: doh.
Claire: it would've gotten vegeta, too
if you guys move back I can try again next round
Claire's divine energy goes wide, zapping some of the road.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The cloud will provoke from Fleir and Nidri.
Cat: uuuuh.
i uh...wait, which end do i stab it with?

Fleir is attacking with Powerful Bite!
Fleir: Attack Result: 23
(Needs at least 25 to crit.)
Damage Result: 8
Crit: 20/x2
Crit Confirm: 11
Crit Damage: +8
Chris: Not enough damage
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Not enough mana
Cat: yeah, no way nidri can do anything.
Chris: I can once Fi can get to Fleir.
The cloud flies 80 feet away into the night.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The combat is over, unless you guys want to chase a cloud in the dead of night.
Cat: heh wow. so not really like the spell.
Hernz: gaseous cloud is 10 ft move
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Good point.
It flees 40 feet into the night.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It has more than move 10
Fi: I'm going to have Fleir chase it down.
Cat: erm
Hernz: also can't run in cloud form... but if it has some other move speed, then ok

Fi casts Magic Fang on Fleir!
Fi: Duration: 4 minutes
Cat: i can drop a resist energy or something on him if you want.
or resistance.
Hernz: I can reach 35 ft plus my 5'2" height.... can I reach?
Chris: I don't know what would be useful, but you got 1 thing before she takes off.
Hernz: can I move on top of tall Fi and shoot one blast and try?

Cat casts Resistance!
Cat: Duration: 1 minute
Fleir - +1 bonus on saving throws
Hernz: lol
but that was like 90% serious
Chris: I have no idea if that works :-P
Hernz: or even the tent
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lulz. I may as well get meta here: This cloud is immune to all forms of damage and will move about 40 feet per round through the plains for about 2 miles.
Claire: I should have POB'd it
but I'm gooooood
Chris: So, magic weapon no worky?
Hernz: or fire damage?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Magic no worky either. This monster's death throes are bullshiet
Hernz: lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If you can chase it down in the middle of the night for 2 miles, then you could finish it off.

Vegeta shoots a ki blast at the darkness
Claire: ...
Chris: Hmm... I think I told Fleir to chase it before we knew.
I suppose we now see if I lose a companion.

Vegeta has 4 ki remaining
The cowardly zombie turns into a cloud and flees. Fi issues a command and Fleir runs after it into the night!
George: Wow, that is gross.
About an hour later, the wolf returns, unharmed but confused.
Meanwhile, Jovias's corpse, almost chomped into two by a tiger, continues to bleed...
Chris: I thought someone said he was fully dead?

Fi casts Cure Light Wounds on Jovias Dewleaf.
Fi: Healing: 9
Saving Throw: DC 14, Will half; Spell Resistance: Yes
Fi's channels the healing magic of the land upon Jovias. Unfortunately nothing happens to the body. It clearly took too much damage.
Chris: stopped the bleeding though :-P
Fi: Dammit Jovias! Stupid Tiger!

Fi kicks the dead Tiger.
Vegeta: Jovias was a brave warrior...
Fi: No. He was a cowardly businessman trying to survive.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (For the record, Jovias had 18 HP)
(I think he was at -15 after the tiger crit)
Cat: i added up 37 damage in that one round.
but maybe i added wrong.
Chris: sounds right.
Nidranisan: i mean, we can bring the body to the krimson forest and see if there's anything they can/want to do for him.
Fi: Yes, we will bring him with us.

Hawk Hubertins looks a little green.
Cat: mumble mumble anyone know gentle repose so he doesn't start smelling? ;)
Hawk Hubertins: Yes, clearly we should bring the body. I just hope there's someone in town who can help him when we arrive.
Chris: We're all sorcerer like spell casting, so no.
Cat: so if we had overkilled the zombie hard enough, does it not do the mist thing? :)
and/or do i know wtf that was that it wasn't like the other zombies? :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): No one made a good enough K Religion check...
During the next day (may as well do this now) Nidri and Hawk conclude that it must have been a Vampire Spawn.
Nidranisan: ah ok.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Upon defeat, it probably fled back to its home where it could recover.
Luckily it won't be ready for at least 2 days.
Vegeta: you guys know any weaknesses to these things?
Fi: Sunlight?
Nidranisan: ...so i guess we'll maybe camp somewhere else on our way back.
Hawk Hubertins: Yes, we should definitely fine somewhere... else... to camp.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, bedtime for me. Back to work tomorrow. I think Vegeta was the only one injured, so you can heal him now.
Nidranisan casts Cure Light Wounds!
Nidranisan: Vegeta - heal 11 HPs.
Vegeta: thanks :)
Nidranisan: that good?
Vegeta: good as new
Nidranisan: great. i'm going back to sleep.
realtime 6/9 8:16 pm

gametime May 6, 1236 AD (morning)

The sun rises after the party gets some well deserved sleep. Jovias's body has been preserved to the best of the party's ability.
The party discusses their encounter against the dancing zombies. Hawk and Nidri conclude the agile zombie with the top hat must have been a Vampire Spawn.
The third day of travel is luckily quiet, with the worst thing happening is some wind.
In the evening, the party reaches the outskirts of the Krimson Forest. Already there are increased elven patrols around the path, but you are all waved through without any resistance or question.
You enter the outskirts of the Elven realm, where the Goldenrod family once stood and where you fought the spirit of Jubilation.
Now the town has been converted into a military base, with the larger homes used as makeshift barracks.

George gets eaten by a shark on an airplane.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's not a shark it's a bird! Or a bat!
Or a BirdBatShark!
George: Batshark!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): My god
Chris: I take it the movie is awesome?
George: So much awesome!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): George and I are having a moment here...

(GM) Chad S. (GM) coughs
Shavani Tinderrain is reading a rather thick tome as you arrive. She seems to have picked the perfect spot to greet you.
Shavani Tinderrain: ...I read an extra page.
Shavani Tinderrain moves her bookmark and slams her book shut.
Shavani Tinderrain: Now then, let's get that negative level cleared up and we can start.
Nidranisan looks so confused.
Shavani Tinderrain: Hmm? Oh, right. When a vampire touches you, it can drain the life force from you. Common ability among the stronger undead.
Nidranisan: Uh, we were a little more worried about...what the Tiger did.
Shavani Tinderrain: The....tiger? What?
Shavani Tinderrain is also confused
Nidranisan: Is there someone who can help Jovias?
The tiger was a lot more, shall we say, bad touch.
Shavani Tinderrain: Wait, Jovias?
Nidranisan sort of points to two hastily wrapped...chunks.
Shavani's face turns pale as you show Jovias's remains. Without a word, she drops her book, grabs Jovias, speaks some words and disappears in a puff of smoke.
Fi: Wha? I guess this wasn't the expected future.
Nidranisan: Seems things are not quite as she saw them.
Chris: Unmei kaihen
A few minutes later, Shavani returns, her hands and dress blood stained.
Chris: Did she take Jovias with her? I was assuming so.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, she took Jovias with her and did not return with him.
Fi: Uh... Sorry?
Shavani Tinderrain: Jovias will recover soon. I had a priest on standby to remove...um... but it wasn't supposed to happen-
Shavani Tinderrain she stammers a bit longer, her confidence shaken.
Fi: Maybe there is a new unknown element?

Fi makes something up.
Shavani Tinderrain: How could I miss- no, doesn't matter. Live in the present, Shav.
Hawk Hubertins: Thank you for helping him, Shavani.
Shavani Tinderrain: We-well, um. Welcome back to the Krimson Forest. I told the guards you were coming, so we could bypass the annoying checks.
Fi: That explains that.
Shavani Tinderrain: We need to get further into the forest. Not even I can skip them. Still, stick with me.
Nidranisan: Thank you.
This place has...changed.
Shavani leads the party through the outer reaches of the forest. Shavani tries to make a small talk on the way, but she rambles on about astrophysics, probability and magic theory.
Fi:
Fi : Intelligence
Check	13

Fi is confused.
Guard: Halt. State your business.
Shavani Tinderrain: I just left... Shavani Tinderrain. Here to escort these allies to the Master of Arms.
The guard considers asking the party individually, but Shavani glares at him hard enough to skip the formalities.
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Intelligence
Check	19
Nidranisan is not quite as confused. but probably also a little confused.
This part of the Krimson Forest is much more elaborate than the outer limits. The white and red trees used to make homes are much more elaborate and well kept. Most of the folk here are avoiding the party, and some are giving Shavani dirty looks. She sighs after a few minutes.
Shavani Tinderrain: I have some rooms set up for you here. It's best for you to set out in the morning.
Nidranisan: ...Should I have waited outside?
Shavani Tinderrain: No, I need you all to speak to the Master of Arms.
Besides, I'd never exclude you unless I had good reason.
Nidranisan: I see.
Everyone seems quite uneasy.
Nidranisan : Sense-Motive
Check	18
Shavani Tinderrain: As we get closer to the Center of Krimson... sighs the people here get uneasy about anything foreign or anything that breaks tradition.
Nidranisan: Indeed. I guess we didn't come this far in before.
Well, I suppose the best we can do is set a good example.
Shavani Tinderrain: I guess so. I'll set up a meeting with the Master of Arms tonight. I'll also check on Jovias. Have a good night, all.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, buy whatever you need to and prepare for fighting and stuff tomorrow.
Nidranisan: Give him our apologies. I hope he is well.
I would have done whatever I could, but it was already too late.
Hernz: did we ever sell the loot from Derrin?
Chris: Yes, we sold the loot. It's on the Loot! handout.
Hernz: thanks
hey chad, just curious, if we get a +1 item, in your world, if we want to upgrade to a +2 later, is that just the difference (i.e., "hey, can you make this stronger mr. enchanter?"), or do you have to sell it (likely at a slight loss) and purchase the +2? Just curious
Either way, no shopping for me... I'm good for now

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes Hernz, you just pay the difference to upgrade.
Hernz: tx
In the Temple of Hiras, Jovias is resting upon a cot. He's clearly tired.
Meghan: I have no idea what to buy, if anything
Shavani Tinderrain: Hey Jovias...I hope you're doing alright.
Jovias Dewleaf snorts
Vegeta: heh, tough one ;)
Jovias Dewleaf: I should've drunk my Liquid Courage...no that wouldn't have helped.
That tiger nearly blew me in half...
No wait, I blew it in half. It tore me in half, haha!
Oh, did you get 'em?
Vegeta: yeah, real good
the tiger at least
Nidranisan: Well, yeah. Top Hat turned into mist and slunk off.
All the rest though.
Jovias Dewleaf: Good job, everyone. Thank you for...hmm. Bandaging my body.
The clerics said I should recover before moving on...
Jovias Dewleaf yawns
Jovias Dewleaf: Time for some rest. I didn't realize other races are unaware while sleeping. I mean, before I went to Harvest Wharf I didn't even realize humans "sleep". Oh, I've learned much.
Jovias Dewleaf stretches and relaxes, entering the Elven Trance (TM)
Hernz: lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll fast forward to the evening in a few minutes.
Shavani leads the party out of the temple and into the Krimson Defense Force garrison. You see several elves training in the ways of combat and magic.
Shavani motions you into the grand chamber, which is strangely empty except for one man...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Feel free to read the "Debrief with the Master of Arms, Dorrel" and "Redtooth Lands - Chiefs and Territories" handouts
Cat: mmm handouts.
Vegeta: When you say "we" will march out tomorrow... who exactly?
Cat: ...actually weary, or wary? ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Mmm, typos OM NOM NOM

Vegeta whispers to himself... kinda wish we had to face Gorrag... a worthy challenge for a super sayan
Master at Arms, Dorrel: [Vegeta] 500 of my finest soldiers will follow me and secure the border. Unless you wish to be singled out, this would help your recovery operations, no?
Vegeta: just curious, nothing more
Master at Arms, Dorrel nods
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Bedtime for Chad. You'll march out after a night's rest, so prep yourselves.
Chris: What's the likelihood of finding masterwork studded leather armor for a wolf?
realtime 6/11, 9:06 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (To GM) rolling 1d100
(

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Unfortunately, no one seems to have animal barding available today. Besides, goblins ride wolves, elves ride horses.
Chris: The next time we are in a goblin city remind me to look for armor.

gametime May 6, 1236 AD (evening)

The party wraps up its meeting with the Master at Arms and make preparations to travel the following day.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (I rolled for an 80% chance and got 86%)
Sounds like everyone is good with prep. I'll fast forward to the afternoon.

gametime May 7, 1236 AD (lunchtime)

The day is quite foggy, reducing visibility beyond a quarter of a mile. The elves have eaten a breakfast and lunch of mostly nut butters, water, leaves and bread. Mostly simple meals.
Shavani is conversing with some of the captains, giving advice, portents of the future and wishing them luck.
Shavani Tinderrain: Hey guys. I'll need to leave soon- a green dragon is going to terrorize one of my friend's villages- but I wanted to know if you needed anything from me before I left.
Fi: Uhh... I don't think so, but wouldn't you know better than us?
Hernz: awww man, we want to go kill the dragon too!....in like 5 levels lol
Shavani Tinderrain: Now Fi, I know a lot. But...I don't know everything. I thought you would have had your energy drained, but instead...
Well, thank you for finding Jovias. Dakan wouldn't have been happy...
Chris: finding?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, she used the word Finding.
Fi: Huh? He left with us.
It was arranged that we would come together.
Shavani Tinderrain: Wait...oh. Right. I mean. Yeah. Finding...finding his body and bringing it here so we could save him.
Cat: does she seem unwell? this seems odd for her.
Vegeta: sense motif 32
(GM) Chad S. (GM): She hasn't cleaned her blood stained dress from yesterday.
Vegeta: it's alright, she's just in shock about Jovias... let her be
Fi: Well if there is anything that we can help you with after this, let us know. We appreciate your help here.
Shavani Tinderrain: Right. Well, good luck. Need to...meet Dakan, then...dragon.
Shavani turns away from the group and walks down a few feet before regaining her composure. She casts something before disappearing.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: If you are ready, we will march now to defend the Krimson.
Chris: Well, I don't have the money for anything else that I want.
Hernz: I think we're all ready
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Then, we march!
The Master at Arms rallies his troops, gives an inspirational speech, acknowledges you as an independent unit allied with the Krimson elves (so do not shoot them!) and you head out!
Outside of the forest, the land quickly gives way to barren fields. Few trees grow, and water is scarce. The elven army sings a merry tune to keep their spirits up (because elves must sing and dance. It is the GM's rule.)
About an hour of marching later, the sounds of combat break out amongst the ranks. The elven army begins to clash with the brutes of the Redtooth Lands! The Master at Arms barks out orders, and the army soon begins to divide and spread themselves across the territory.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Alright, then. We will secure our border. This kind of fighting should give you some time to make your move. My scouts last reported seeing your crate in that direction.
Master at Arms, Dorrel points in a direction, let's say northeast
Master at Arms, Dorrel: My troops will assist you however we can, but our principle mission is to drive these intruders back. Be careful and may Hiras smile upon you!
Fi: Good luck.
Master at Arms, Dorrel nods, then turns to yell more orders to his troops.
Vegeta: fight well
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, the "Redtooth Lands raid!" document is open. Your first encounter is coming up - how will you approach it?
Bedtime for me.
Hernz: I'm assuming stealth is out since I think other than Fi and I, we suck, and even then we suck lol
I can help with initimidate, but not bluff... that's lying and I can't do that
although stealth gives us the better advantage...
Chris: Fi has +10 stealth, and Fleir might be able to assist with a +7.
Hernz: I got a +8 so almost guaranteed assist....
Chris: Bluff and intimidate for Fi are both +1 and for Fleir are -2.
Hernz: +2 intimidate, impossible to try to bluff
Chris: While the Orcs are unlikely to see us, the Kobolds have moderate perception.
They all have crappy Sense Motive.
The enemy DC for intimidate is also going to be really low (Like around 10) unless Chad is changing the mechanic to deal with multiple vs multiple instead of 1 on 1. There is no bonus for being way over the target DC either.
George: We have a pretty good bluff in the party between Hawk and Claire, so that's probably a pretty good option for us.
Meghan: Claire's bluff check is 9
my stealth is positive
George: Hawk has an 11 bluff and has some stealth.
Cat: i'm an intimidate machine, heh.
assuming they're humanoid, i intimidate at +16. bluff is +4, stealth is +2.
realtime June 12, 2015 9:36 pm
Cat: by the book, beating the DC on the intimidate check should mean they are shaken for longer.
hey chad...are the DC's of each method comparable and the increments pretty comparable if you beat the DC?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So, Kobolds have decent perception, but everyone's sense motive is pretty lousy.
A good Bluff check can cause infighting before the fight breaks off, weakening some of them and clump them together for a nice fireball.
An intimidate check will shake the enemies and can remove some of them from the battle.
Cat: i'm not sure clumps help us much...i'd probably go stealth or intimidate.
Chris: So, no splitting the party into face team and stealth team? ;-)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): NINJA STRIKE!
Stealth usage will increase your starting area for the combat, and give you surprise rounds as you emerge from the fog.
Cat: i'm unsurprisingly all in favor of intimidate.
mostly because i always fail stealth :)
especially if these are more of the guys with decent perception.
Chris: I'm slightly concerned that Fi's presence in the intimidation party may compromise it working on the Orcs. You know, that Elf thing.
Fi will probably already be their main target in combat.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So I'm hearing 1 for Intimidation so far.
Chris: Who can help with Intimidate? I'm at +1 but probably should avoid helping in this case.
Vegeta +2
Meghan: Claire's intimidate is 11
Chris: If we intimidate can I have Fi hide until the fighting breaks out?
Cat: also, no matter which we choose, as long as it takes less than an hour, i'm gonna armor up first
Chris: How many times can you do that a day?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like you will Intimidate your way in. Fi can hang back until the fighting starts.
Cat: i get 4 hours.
in 1 hour incrememnts.
Chris: Cool, I just expect we will get into several battles in a row today.
Cat: yup
this is a longish term ability.
y'all want me to roll the die then?
Chris: Sure.
Cat: cross your fingers i get a good click ;)
Chris: No wammies!
Cat:
Nidranisan : Intimidate
Check	24
Chris: mediocre
Cat: yeah, but at least it wasn't like, a 2.
helpers gonna help?
Meghan:
Claire : Intimidate
Check	31
Chris: lol
Cat: lolz.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lulz

Meghan grins
Cat: well, that means she gives +4 at least, right? ;)

Cat waits for hernz to roll a 20 too.
Cat: george went to bed.
dunno if you wanna roll for hawk to help.

Fi hangs out in the back.
Fi:
Fi : Stealth
Check	16
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Please roll for Hawk. I'll roll for Vegeta
Cat: er, i don't know if he has a bonus, but i can throw a d20 out there :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta declares himself the strongest warrior of all! 22
Cat: TOLD YOU.
Chris: awesome.
Meghan: nice
Cat: IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE CHAT LOG.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Still wimpier than Claire...
Meghan: claire's 20-boner is very intimidating
Cat: hawk's gotta have a bonus, it's cha based.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's +4
Cat: go go hawk: 19
i thought he was on the 20 cha bus.
can't keep track of all you pretty folks.
Chris: I think he gave up that fight.
Cat: i just realized i never decided where to put my stat point.
and i probably should.

Claire is still the prettiest
Cat: so i know 10 -> +2, 20 -> +3. if the over-30 actually gets +4, we're at +9 to what i rolled.
which would give 33.
Claire emerges from the fog, declaring herself the valiant sun to vanquish the terrible night!
Chris: Hernz is just going to ask Chad to keep rolling for him.
Cat: yeah, probably.
it's a good plan.
maybe i should get meghan to roll for me ;)

(GM) Chad S. (GM) is loading the next battle
Hernz: seriously lol
can we armor up veggie before the battle with the wand?
I'll be able to tank pretty well

Claire is using their item Wand of Mage Armor
Claire: Wand of Mage Armor uses remaining: 32
tada
Cat: marked off my pre-armor-up...all my spells are pretty short duration so probably not great for pre-intimidation prep.
The party quickly runs in and scares a company of Orcs and Kobolds. In the distance they see a cage of unconscious elven soldiers, recently captured.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Okay, rearrange yourselves on the tan square and roll initiative.
Unit's init 19
Chris:
Fi : Initiative

not really where that 20 was useful, per se.
Chris: We've used our 20s for a week.
Hernz: lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Prepare to whiff for all time
Round 1
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Most of the frontline is scared, so...
Chris: The non-kobolds are unlabeled for us.
Cat: will a Shield of Faith help fleir?
+2 "deflection" bonus to AC.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Can you see their names now?
Hernz: yup
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Shield of Faith will boost her AC.
Cat: ok, so it's not getting canceled due to stacking reasons. is the main question.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): No, you can stack deflection bonuses
Chris: I thought that was just dodge.
Cat: and/or would it be more helpful to 5' and put it on Fi.
that's probably my main usefulness at the top of round 1.
Chris: What else do you have that is deflection?
Cat: drop a prep spell on someone.
ah, or i could give veg +1 hit/+1 dmg.

Vegeta I say either Fleir or veg... Fi stays back lately, so that should be ok for him
Hernz: oops
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh yeah, Deflection doesn't stack...
Hernz: but does he have reflection already?
Chris: I didn't think any of us had deflection bonuses.
Hernz: exactly
Cat: fleir likes to run up and get mobbed, which is why i was thinking it might be nice.
particularly in the context of a ton of little guy swinging.
i can get veg next round with the +1 if it's convenient to get to him.

Cat casts Shield of Faith!
Cat: Duration: 1 min/lvl
Fleir - Take a +2 deflection bonus to AC!
always forget to change names before i do that. :)
Nidranisan: Fi, if you're worried about them feel free to stick next to me.
Or, you know, behind me.
Nidranisan looks unnervingly threatening wielding...a broken dagger...
Chris: Ok. That puts Fleir at 22AC.
Cat: aaaand, i'm gonna go sleep.
The Orc Captain tries to rally his troops!
Cat: this really should be a total whiff fest until the shaken wears off heh.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (Can anyone besides Fi speak Orc?)
Cat: not me.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Kobolds fire at ... 10
3 Fire at Claire and 1 at Nidri.
Kobold A fires at Claire, hitting AC 19 for 2 damage
Kobold B fires at Claire, hitting AC 14 for 4 damage
Kobold C fires at Claire, hitting AC 13 for 6 damage
What's Claire's AC?
Claire: 15
Hernz: phew, dodged the big ones
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Kobold D fires at Nidri, hitting AC 9 for 6 damage
One of the Kobolds nicks Claire with an arrow from his shortbow.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Kobolds fire at ... 4
Geeze Vegeta, they're really afraid of fighting you.
Kobold G fires at Nidri, hitting AC 6 for 5 damage
Kobold E fires at Claire, hitting AC 11 for 1 damage
Of the 6 Kobolds, only one of them hits.
Three of the orcs hide behind a tree.
Two of the Kobold Shaman run around and cast magic. Shaman A touches the Orc Fighter, and he regains his confidence.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, that's it for the enemy. Bedtime for me. If you're going into melee, I'll need a Perception check.
Fleir:
Fleir : Perception
Check	24
Vegeta: perception 15
Cat: well, two of those missed by 2 or less, so i'll chalk that up as "hey, at least the intimidate did something!"
George: Guess I missed the prep round. Oh well.
I don't think I actually assigned my stat point. And I also never picked Hawk's other second list spell.
Chris: seems to be an epidemic
George: No, I did. I put it in Cha which is how he has the 19.
Chris: Do you want to sing before Fleir attacks, or are you doing something else.
George: I think Hawk is about to sing. Have we had a night of rest since the last fight, or are we still down from our last fight?
Chris: I think we are on a new day.
George: Ok, I'll go with that assumption unless Chad chimes in later and tells us otherwise.

Hawk Hubertins is activating his Bard ability, Inspire Courage +1
Hawk Hubertins: +1 morale bonus to attack, damage, and save vs fear & charm
Inspire Courage +1 uses remaining: 16
Note: Effect lasts for 2 rounds after song has ended.
Claire: ... crap, I never picked a scond list spell
oops
anyone else want an armor?
Nidranisan: may be worth conserving spells to see what the rest of the day brings (or how far south this fight goes.)
oh right, wand.
NEVERMIND.
Claire: hah yeah. I have 30ish left
suppose I could give myself one, and then go burning hands the fuck out of 'em

Claire is using their item Wand of Mage Armor
Claire: Wand of Mage Armor uses remaining: 31
Oh. hah. my 15 ac assumes I have mage armor up. ok, that's what I do then.
Hernz: so in a hilarious note, hernz showed up for HUB today lol
oops
Chris: I thought you were just wishing us goodbye for our trip ;-)
Hernz: I'm waiting on my move/attack until Fleir goes first, since order might matter in this round
hahahaha
Chris: I wasn't sure if I should wait on the feedback from perception from Chad or not.
Hernz: that's what I figured you were doing since you rolled a good one... mine sucked so unless something happens, I'm going in! lol
Vegeta will be trying to take out shaman B... I think I can reach him with a few minor provokes
he's gonna need to conserve the little ki he has to last that many battles
but first we see what I screwed up with my 15 perception

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup, I figured you that's why you pinged me.
Chris: Italy is 6 hours ahead as well, so not so much with the online at the same time.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Good thing we switched to this asynchronous format, eh?
Chris: yup
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk started his Bardsong, but I don't know if he wants to make a move action.
Claire and Vegeta are up next.
George: Nope, he's good where he is, for now.
Chris: Claire activated mage armor unless you let her do that before hand.

Vegeta: reflex 19
As the proud warrior makes his way across towards the kobolds, he steps on a false floor! He falls into a spiked pit!
Hernz: 19 wasn't good enough? craaaap
Vegeta: this is the second stupid pit I fall in lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta falls on 4 spikes

Hernz: LOL
Round 1
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri's up before the enemies move again.
Cat: lovely.
Nidranisan: Need any help in there Veg?
Hernz: how hard is it to get out of this thing? what type of check?
Vegeta: AAARRRRGGHHHH!!!
Cat: i can try to help him out, or tap him with a spell e.g. guidance to help with a climb check next round.
Hernz: can nidri reach 5 feet below?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The pit is 10 feet deep.
DC 15 climb check to get out.
Hernz: right and I'm 5'2"...so that's why I asked if she can reach halfway to touch me
~50/50
(GM) Chad S. (GM): She can touch you, but she needs a str check to lift you out.
Cat: right, so touch spell will work.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If she has a rope...
Cat: she doesn't write down useful stuff.
Hernz: a guidance will make it 55% success chance if it grants +1
does bard song help skills?
Nidranisan: yes, guidance would give +1
Cat: probably more useful than most other stuff i can do anyway.
hawk's timely-whatever spell might work on a skill check, i don't remember.
yes, yes it does.
Hernz: go for the guidance then... veg is at liek 2/3 hp... that could be good for now
Nidranisan: so if you fail by little enough, timley-thing could fix it.
Nidranisan casts Guidance!
Nidranisan: Duration: 1 minute
Vegeta - take +1 on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check (choose before you roll)
Vegeta: thanks... now let's see how to get out of here...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Enemies, yaaay
Chris: Oh. Fi had a +1 on attacking that Kobold earlier since Fleir was there. forgot that one.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Goody. Trapper A was hit, then.
Trapper A drops his bow and pulls out a sword.
Trapper A attacks Fleir hitting AC 19 for 3 damage
Trapper B attacks Fleir hitting AC 19 for 4 damage
Trapper G attacks Fleir hitting AC 19 for 1 damage
Thank goodness for mage armor
Chris: not even. She's 20 base.

Hernz: OUCH
Chris: Lot's of soft cover.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ooo, good point
Hernz: nope
I'm in a pit... no cover
Chris: Wait D?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Uh...I meant A
I really should abbreviate these...
Hernz: oh, that's cover too? man, that's a lot for shooting lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Orc Fighter B throws a javeilin at Nidri, hitting AC 14 for 4 damage.
Chris: C and Fleir are providing cover for Nidri.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lolz of course the one without cover just fails to hit.
Two javelins sail past Nidri.
Hernz: the 20 missed? how much does soft cover provide?
Chris: Normal Cover.
Hernz: need to make sure I know all this for my ranged touch attacks lol
Chris: You need special abilities to bypass soft cover.
Soft cover just doesn't affect anything other than ranged and reach.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Kobold Shaman B casts a spell at Nidri.
Nidri, make a Will Save

The kobold shaman points, and Nidri is filled with SPOOKY feelings

Hernz: Ok, yes, that missed veg (AC 23)

Cat casts Magic Weapon on Vegeta!
Cat: Targets/Area: weapon touched
Duration: 1 min/lvl
Magic weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. An enhancement bonus does not stack with a masterwork weapon's +1 bonus on attack rolls.
You can't cast this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk's unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell.
Vegeta: haha! now we're talking!
Chris: Oops. I meant OFA for Fi. Was a more direct shot.
Nidranisan: You better put that to good use, Veg.
Hernz: Cat, can you ask George if he can do... whatever :)

Cat: Vegeta - heal 5 HPs.
...
chad used up all the good dice on fleir.
Hernz: Chad, those were some amazing rolls for Fi and Fleir... seriously....
Vegeta: Thanks Nidri
Chris: I guess we should see if anyone is still alive enough to wake up and question. As for securing prisoners, Fi thinks it would be better to be quick.
Hernz: I'm guessing there might be prisoners on that jail-like-lookinig thing
Cat: i mean, since the elves are here, they can secure prisoners, right?
note, george and i are away tonight, so may not be checking in again until tomorrow.

Elven Warrior attacks Kobold Trapper E hitting AC 9 for 10 damage
Elven Wizard killsteals by casting Magic Missle, hitting for 6 damage
The Elven cavalry quickly defeats the Kobold Trapper.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Your choices are to help the Elven cavalry secure the prisoners in the cage, or to interrogate some of the defeated Orcs & Kobolds.
Securing prisoners gives the enemy more time to reinforce, but gives you a larger reward and the cavalry will arrive sooner.
Interrogating the enemies will reveal one key piece of flavor text. Which one? Chad decides!
Chris: So by securing prisoners, you mean releasing elves that are in the cage? I want quite clear on that.
If that is the case, then Fi would be in favor of helping.
Meghan is having a debate on what the "gooder" option is. Claire is probably going to go with helping the elves if we are rescuing them.
Hernz: Vegeta will go with whatever party decision is made... while helping the weak is not his thing, neither is questioning enemies beaten half to death... if anything, ki blast to the face to those lol... so yeah, help secure prisoners would work
Btw Chad, I like all the horrible rolls you saved for the cavalry lol
Cat: do we have any idea what to do next if we don't question people?
if so, i'd say this time around let's help prisoners, and next time we question.
Hernz: we're chasing the chest right? hints as to its whereabouts I'm guessing?
Cat: yeah.
it's a crate. but yeah.
Hernz: that's what I meant lol
Cat: i think most of the team would want to help prisoners, but if we literally have no clue where to look next, we really need the information.
realtime 6/21 8:59 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like you're going to rescue the guys in the cage.
The party spends time talking to the elves and freeing the captives in the cage.
The elves talk about their next target: A group of orcs from Gorrag the Red seem to be recovering from a surpsie attack. A group of 9 Elves will help you attack the group.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So, plan how you will attack the next group. Also feel free to heal, buff etc etc.
Cat: is the next fight more than an hour later?

Fi casts Cure Light Wounds on Fleir.
Fi: Healing: 12
Saving Throw: DC 14, Will half; Spell Resistance: Yes
Chris: Well the intimidate DC on the Ogre is going to be higher. They all still have crappy sense motives. The Ogre's perception is also somehow ok.
Should we try the bluff approach this time?
Cat: bluff sounds legit.
i think claire leads and everyone else except vegeta helps, right?

Hernz: AC still at 27
oh wait! I have flanking!
both of those will hit! woot! Oh, and uh, fort save or be stunned beatch
Vegeta: and the damage is wrong... should be 6 and 2... for some reason the +1 from bard song didn't show...
Hernz: or bardsong at all... so my hits are 19 and 18, damage 6 and 2.... still not enough to take him down I bet
realtime 6/28 8:20pm
Nidri scares the crap out of one of the Gnolls.
Round 3
Fi kill steals the hell out of Ogre B. Elven Warrior A frowns.
Fi: Sorry, I slipped.
Vegeta focuses his fist on the Ogre, and nails him right in the criticals.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): ...Vegeta Crit
Gnoll Axeman D tries his luck against Fleir, hitting AC 10 for 5 damage
Gnolls continue to fail.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Want to finish this off, Fleir?

Fleir is attacking Gnoll Axeman D with Powerful Bite & Trip!
Fleir: Attack Result: 9
(Needs at least 26 to crit.)
Damage Result: 10
Crit: 20/x2
Crit Confirm: 12
Crit Damage: +12
Fleir: Trip Attempt: 7
Chris: nope!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): N....nope
Meghan: Really?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Will Claire kill steal?
Chris: rolled a 3.
Meghan: George isn't here...
and I do have a direct line of sight...
are they evil?
'cause if I end up healing it we're all going to feel silly.
let's see...

Claire is attacking Gnoll Axeman D with Pew Pew Holy Lazer!
Claire: Attack Result: 14
Damage Result: 6
Type: divine
Pew Pew Holy Lazer uses remaining: 4
Notes: Only hurts evil creatures. Ray. Use up to 8 per day.
Claire: (I actually have 7 left)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): +1 for Bardsong, -4 for firing into melee. I think Hawk can provide a +2 with his TI
So AC 11 w/o TI...still not enough!
Chris: Touch?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh hey, Touch AC!
Claire kill steals the final Gnoll. Fleir grimaces.
Combat Over
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I updated the "Redtooth Lands Raid" document.
Some of the elves take a moment to cart off their wounded and squished.
Scouts note that they have found the camp with elven prisoners, guarded by a HUGE humanoid. They are unsure of its strength.
Scouts also note a slight detour: A goblin raiding party. They leader seems to be rallying goblins from other camps, and has a half-burned face.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It will take about an hour to reach the prisoners, but half an hour to reach the goblins. Take this time to heal and prep yourselves.
You'll need to decide what you want to do after this combat, and what your next destination is.
Chris: How much does this "detour" sound like it would take us out of the way from the prisoners?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Not too far out of the way. From the goblin meeting camp, you'd expect another 45 minutes to reach the prisoners.
Cat: where are we on finding the crate?
i think we need to do some interrogating, and figure out what's up with that.
and see if it points more to either place.
Chris: I guess we should interrogate. And determine if we should deal with the goblins first.

Vegeta Vegeta seems to be getting tired... clearly doesn't look like he can hold his "super sayan" form much longer
Vegeta: I'll save my energy for the big guy.... seems like a true way to try out my powers...
realtime 6/29 9:51 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like you guys will interrogate about the crate.
I've added the "Interrogation" handout.
The elves manage to awaken one of the Gnolls, who is more than willing to talk after seeing the dead Ogres.
This one seems to be pretty smart and can actually speak Elven.
Cat: heh nidri totally just stood there, pointed at the ogre, and like...made a face. :)
greaaaaaaaat....
we might want to find out what Reeta's up to.
but i'm thinking if we find CF, we're on the trail for the crate.
might be worth a stop at the goblins to get more info.
realtime 6/30, 8:51pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like you guys will approach the goblins?
Hernz: works for me
(GM) Chad S. (GM): OH hey Hernz
Hernz: yo
wassup?
The party heads off towards the goblin gathering. At least fifty goblins are present, most of them riding wolves.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nothin, I didn't see you log in before.
Before I started.
Hernz: I just did 2 mins afer you did
Most of the goblins prepare their weapons as you approach, but a yell from within the crowd has them stand down.
A goblin with a half-burned face rides a red-furred wolf out of the crowd.
You recognize the non-burnt half as the Goblin you met in the Swamp of Despair.
Hernz: the little girl one? (I think that was it, right?)
the one riding the wolf?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, the little one riding the wolf who guarded the headband of Perseverance.
Hernz: yup yup
Reeta Headeeta: You! Daddy said he was mad he had to send me back. But then I said "It's Okay Daddy! They are friends!" and Daddy said "Take the goblins from the Redtooth" and I said "Okay Daddy!" and so I came back.
Why are you here?
Cat: ...why did i assume she like, hated us?
Reeta mostly addresses Nidri, and a little bit to Claire.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Well, you did kill her.
Collectively.
Cat: true. i guess 'daddy' did say i was ok.
Nidranisan: We're trying to find an item of ours that has been lost in this area.
Hernz: hey, vegeta was busy swatting flies!!
Nidranisan: A crate.
It might or might not be related to Riga Plague-Bringer's new wife...you know anything about her?
Reeta Headeeta: Daddy said I should avoid her. She's tricky and causing...uh....bl-bl...um...bloodshed! Yeah, Daddy said she causing bloodshed.
But a crate? Uhm...Daddy said to keep an eye on it. Oh! There's a camp with a BIIG Giant nearby! So big.
He smashed this big crate and gave the prisoners some shiny, shiny rocks!
Nidranisan: Black shiny rocks?
Reeta Headeeta: Uhhmm....maybe?
scratches her head
Reeta Headeeta: Oh! Me have idea! Me get goblins out of there! You get...um...prisoners?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'm updating the "Redtooth Interrogations" handout
With answers to your questions.
Fi: Seems a mutually beneficial prospect.
Cat: is she suggesting we hit the camp together?
realtime 7/1, 8:58 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Reeta suggests she hits first and rescues the goblins, while you rescue the prisoners in the confusion.
Reeta Headeeta: Hmmpf. Elf wolf looking slightly better. Can't breathe fire though!
Reeta Headeeta rears her wolf back, who breathes a cone of flame.
Nidranisan: OK, sounds like a plan then.
Reeta Headeeta: Yaaay! See Daddy? Goblins will be free!
All of the goblins briefly break into song and dance as Reeta cheers.
Reeta Headeeta: Everyone! Go and strike! Get the goblins!
The goblins run off, full of energy and cheer.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): NOW LOADING
...You guys should prep and heal.
Also figure out how you will approach the prisoner battle.
The elven army already went ahead, so it's up to you guys.
Hernz: armor up always helps
so we are strictly on prisoner rescue duty?
Chris: Fi will put Gravity Bow on himself and Magic Fang on Fleir.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The elven army is here to protect the border, while Reeta is going to recruit her fellow goblin grunts to her cause.
Meghan: armor on vegeta and claire

Claire is using their item Wand of Mage Armor
Claire: Wand of Mage Armor uses remaining: 29

Claire is using their item Wand of Mage Armor
Claire: Wand of Mage Armor uses remaining: 28
Cat: i think the hour is up, i'll mark off another use of my armor
so when you say how we approach, are we applying a skill check to this fight or is Reeta our massive skill wang this time?
also, looks like worth topping off Fi before the fight at least.

Cat casts Cure Light Wounds!
Cat: Fi - heal 9 HPs.
nidri has 3 lvl 1's and 4 lvl 2's left. should save some for healing probably.
if anyone wants a shield of faith (+2 deflection to AC) or magic weapon (+1/+1 incl monk) i could burn like one more lvl 1.
Hernz: I'll take +1s!
realtime 7/2, 8:15 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Reeta is your skill wang this time.
Sounds like people have prepped, so battle will begin!
By the party catches up to the camp, they can clearly see several flames flare up from the camp.
Several goblins flee from the camp, as well as several orcs chasing after them.
A giant is busy putting out flames. He shouts to his ogres and orcs, then notices you and points at you all.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Inbetween two cages, you notice several elves working on makeshift anvils. They look quite tired, but seem amused by the goblin carnage.
Alright, it's time for initiative. You can make Knowledge (Local) checks to identify the giant.
(To GM) rolling 11
11
= 11

Cat casts Magic Weapon on Vegeta!
Cat: Targets/Area: weapon touched
Duration: 1 min/lvl
Magic weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. An enhancement bonus does not stack with a masterwork weapon's +1 bonus on attack rolls.
You can't cast this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk's unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell.

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ogre A attacks Fleir, hitting AC 9 for 14 damage
Ogre B attacks Vegeta, hitting AC 26 for 12 damage
I think Vegeta's AC is 22?
The Ogre manages to get through Vegeta's defenses, bashing him across the head
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (I think, feel free to ignore the 12 damage if your AC > 26, Vegeta)
Orc Fighter A shoots Fleir, hitting AC 21 for 6 damage
Orc Fighter B shoots Fleir, hitting AC 7 for 9 damage
Fleir barely dodges one arrow. The other lands nowhere close.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Orc Cleric C heals himself for 8 HP
Cat: mm if nidri can get within 50' of the giant, it seems like maybe a bane would be wise.
Hernz: a 26.... dammit!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): BONK
With total defense you'd be at AC 27, right?
Hernz: no, I didnt pump up
Orc Cleric A prays to some vile entity, blessing his allies to hit more accurately!

Cat is so gonna fix that.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Orc Cleric D heals The Giant for 9 HP
Vegeta, make a Will Save, DC 13 (this is mind affecting)
(and fear-based)
Orc Cleric B points at Vegeta and tries to fill the warrior's mind with feelings of DOOM
Vegeta: Will 20
But he refuses to sing the DOOM song
Vegeta: SCRAM!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The Giant throws a rock at Vegeta, hitting AC 16 for 13 damage
A large rock lands near Vegeta's feet.
The Giant roars and pulls out the last flaming arrow in his but.
*butt
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Booty Booty Butt Cheeks
Alright, all of the PCs are up next.
Cat: if i drop a bane from here, it'll cancel the bless, right?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Bane cancels Bless
Cat: does it drop the whole spell or only on the people in range of bane?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Only people in range
Nidranisan casts Bane!
Nidranisan: Level 1
Targets/Area: 50 foot radius from me
Duration: 1 min/lvl
Saving Throw: DC 15, will negates; Spell Resistance: Yes
50-ft.-radius burst, centered on you.
Enemies take –1 on attack rolls and saves against fear.
Hernz: yeah, I think that gets everyhone
Cat: yup, needed the 5' but that does it.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Time to make some Will Saves
Nidranisan: we need to concentrate fire power or get the clerics, guys...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ogre A's Will Save 11
Ogre B's Will Save 18
Cat: so it only cancels the bless if they fail the save?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): No wait, it's automatic
Time to update my icons
Cat: now we see if i get smashed for standing here ;)
do the trees block movement at all?
Hernz: did you need to move? cause it's 50' radius....
Cat: yes, i needed to 5' up to catch the giant.
which is who i really don't want hitting people :)
Hernz: no, cause if you do it 50' from you, it would catch 100 ft total...
Cat: it's always centered on you.
you can't place it.
Hernz: oh ok
missed that part :)
Nidri curses the profane blessing.
Cat: yeah, it was neat for RP value for her, but it's pretty nerfed. :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): For Level 1, it's a pretty good debuff.
Cat: it's sort of strictly worse than bless.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, it is
Unless you're overwhelmed and you need defense
Cat: and i've been bitten quite a lot by the whole "mind affecting" bit.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): MOAR UNDEAD
AND CONSTRUCTS
AND VERMIN
Cat: so yeah, not in love with the balance aspect, they could've come up with a schtick for it that didn't eliminate those possible targets.
it already suffers from having the save. :)
but hey, today it shut off a bless on a lot of big bads :)
Nidranisan: NEENER.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Do you want to give your turn, Vegeta? Or did you want to wait for everyone else?
Hernz: I guess I can go... assuming Hawk will sing
Cat: george will log on shortly.
pretty sure it will involve singing though.

(GM) Chad S. (GM) Spouse Advantage!
Cat: lolz.

Vegeta boosts his speed. AC 27, 3 ki left
Hernz: HAHAHAHAHAHA
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It is always appropriate.
Hernz: very
Cat: do the trees block movement at all? :)
Vegeta's fists fly!...and harmlessly slap against the Ogre's armor.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ogre A can move diagonally through the trees without trouble.
Ogre B would have to squeeze through those trees and would take a -4 attack and -4 AC penalty while squeezing through.
Cat: i'm more planning my route if i need to get to vegeta ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ah, I see. Remember the Ogre has 10 ft reach. You'd have to cast defensively if they didn't move.
Hernz: if I get hit at AC27, that's a crit... I likely blow up lol

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Burning!
Ogre A's reflex save 3
Claire burns Ogre A's hair off.
Round 2
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The Ogre has 10 ft reach actually, so you'd have to cast in his threat range. It's probably better to walk around the tree.
Or cast defensively.
Claire: blah, casting defensively.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): That's a DC 17 caster check. 1d20+ Sorc Level + Cha Bonus
Although from there, you'd be OK.
Chris: I think that meant that she would rather be in the other spot than cast defensively.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, OK.

Check out the 15 ft cone diagrams
Cones on square grids are weird.
Meghan: so I don't have to take a 5ft step down to hit the giant?
but I probably have to "cast defensively" so the cleric doesn't smack me.
Cat: i think you 5' right
then you get all 3, yeah?
Meghan: east?

Hernz: still, a +12 or so to hit...
Chris: +12 -8 effectively.
Hernz: we should stop metagaming lol
Chris: Why? It's fun?

Cat: nidri can go heal fleir...having fi deal damage is probably more valuable.
clearly chad should roll one AOO for hernz to see if the rest matters ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): True. I'm guessing Claire will kill off the Orc and Giant on her turn.
Naah, I gotta let Vegeta roll his 18
LOL
Aaaaaaaand that's my queue for bed.
Cat: yeah, claire just needs to remember to take a step over so she doesn't fry veg.
and i guess we need to see where the giant is moving.

No one else is injured, right?
Fi: Yup, Sendrine. Although some of this seems to be an Iron alloy?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 13" toungues eat the food without the forks.
Claire: I really need to pick a second list spell...
Nidranisan: i wonder if that's to improve them as weaponry?
Fi: Might compensate for the brittleness?
One of the elves, a middle aged man, runs up to the edge of the cage and reaches his hands out.
Cat: are any of them injured?
Zey: Please! Help us!
Hernz: any sign of the crate?
Cat: also, any sign of the keys to the cages?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): None of them appear to have suffered any serious injuries. The giant has a key set.
Nidranisan goes and gets the keys.
Fi: Yes, save you. Totally why we are here.
Zey: Thank you! Thank you all. I knew we be rescued.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The 3 elven killstealers mention they are going to talk to their captain and help secure the prisoners.
You notice the smashed remains of a crate near the cages.
Hernz: anything of interest in that tent?
Amid the refuse and dead animal pelts, you find some scrolls giving orders to the Orcs, Ogres and Giant. It is signed by Riga Plague-Bringer.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Aaaaaand some loot, but I'll make a document later.
For tonight: Post questions you'd ask Zey and I'll make a handout answering them.
Chris: LOL. I just looked at the title for the handout, "Debrief with Master At Arms, Dorrel" and thought hey Chad's got the after mission discussion up... Wait...
Fi: Do you know what they were doing here? Why are there Ogres and Cave Trolls working with the Orcs? Did they obtain the black rock from that chest?
Hawk Hubertins: Where did that Giant come from? Why was it here in the forest with these orcs?
realtime 7/10, 9:16 pm
The middle-aged elf answers your questions to the best of his ability.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): See the "Q&A with Zey, the elven blacksmith" handout
I'm assuming you guys will unlock the cages.
Chris: yes...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yaaay! Boo Slavery!
Fi: Did mixing iron and the stone work out?
The party frees the imprisoned elves.
Zey: Had I more time, yes. I think you could create a iron/stone alloy if treated properly. Hmpf. If I were at my forge..
Alas, I wasn't exactly in the mood to give those idiots exactly what they wanted.
Fi: Yes, I understand. You should head back. We may be interested in discussing this further with you when you've had a chance to recover.
Chris: Assuming no one else comes up with questions.
Zey: Thank you. Thank all of you for your aid. I will make sure the Krimson treat you with honor and respect this evening.
The prisoners leave the cages, breathing sighs of relief. The rest of the elven cavalry arrives to escort them back.
As the soldiers escort the prisoners to safety, one of them run up to you.
Guard: Master at Arms Dorrel says the border is secure. Most of the fighting has left the border. The main force is returning back to the Krimson. Please tell me when you are ready to return back to the forest.
Fi: Yes, as soon as we complete our investigation.
Chris: Speaking of which, what's up with those "orders" from Plague-Bringer? Can we read them?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes you can. Anyone speaks Orc?
Fi does, right?
Chris: yes.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Feel free to read the "Riga Plague-Bringer's Orders" handout if you can read Orc.
Inside the cage, you see about 3 more Black Sendrine rocks and some slabs of iron, as well as a makeshift anvil, some crude blacksmith tools and barrel of water.
Fi: Might as well take the Sendrine.
So... CF got the crate with the Sendrine. These orders say to abduct Zey and threaten him to make him make weapons with iron and sendrine.
Blah blah blah, insert threats here if you screw up.
Who is the "Almighty Avase?"
Cloudwalker Clan?
Anyone familiar with these?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Avase is the god of mutilation, strength and augmentation. His followers will find all sorts of ways to modify themselves and others to gain power and strength.
(That's a DC 10 K Relgion check)
Cat: was there anything else in the crate? or just the sendrine?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The Cloudwalker Clan will require a Knowledge (Local) check of DC 25.
The smashed crate only has Sendrine in it. If something else was inside it was already taken long before you got here.
Hawk Hubertins:

Nope, not sure what Cloudwalker is. Sounds like maybe some kind of bird clan?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): These Cloudwalker Clan sound like pretty cooll guys. eh fights aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.
Fi: Well, they seem to have pissed off these Orcs.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll let you guys figure out what you want to collect and do next. Also, any questions you have for Zey before he left.
Cat: er, i meant i was asking if Zey knew that, since apparently he saw them take the sendrine out of it :)
Zey: Oh. Yes. I saw some gold. Strange weapons, as well. One looked like a hollowed out rod. Most of them were taken away immediately.
Nidranisan: Hmm.
I wonder if we can track down where those weapons went. I suspect when we find CF, more will become clear.
Meghan: testing...

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V,S
Range 27 ft
Effects/Target One primary plus one additional/3 levels w/in 15 ft of primary target
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex half
Spell Resistance Yes
Description: This spell causes an arc of flame to leap from your fingers, burning a number of enemies nearby. It deals 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). For every additional target the discharge arcs to, reduce the number of damage dice by half (rounded down). Therefore, at 9th level, your burning arc deals 9d6 points of fire damage to the primary target, then 4d6 points of fire damage to a secondary target, then 2d6 points of fire damage to an additional target.

Each target can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage. The Reflex DC to halve the damage of the secondary bolts is 2 lower than the DC to halve the damage of the primary bolt. You may choose secondary targets as you like, but they must all be within 15 feet of the primary target, and no target can be struck more than once. You can choose to affect fewer secondary targets than the maximum.

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Is there anything else you are looking for or doing in this prisoner camp? If not, where to next?
Cat: we kinda need to track down CF, but we're also kinda tapped out.
i'd search the remains of the smashed crate before we leave, but i think we need to head back to elf-town, rest a night, and look for CF.
tomorrow.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, since this is the only suggestion I've heard in 2 days:
Searching through the remains of the crate yields nothing more than Black Sendrine chunks. Some of the wood is stained with the rock, similar to chalk or charcoal.
Cat: ok, well, we'll hang on to those i guess.
do we have any reasonable access to question remaining enemies out of earshot of elves?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The majority of the force has left. There are about 10 soldiers on standby here to help you return to the forest.
Cat: wondering if we can wedge out any info about CF.
we have info that leads us to Riga, right?
sort of.
yeah, i support...camp out with the elves for a night to recover, then head west and look for Riga/CF.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): See the "Q&A with an Orc Prisoner" Handout for basic Q&A I'm assuming.
Hernz: if we go to that Riga's camp... get ready for fort saves :)
realtime 7/13 9:22 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Any other questions you wanted to ask the prisoner? If not, where to next?
George: To Infinity And Beyond!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lulz
George: Sounds like heading to Riga's camp makes some sense.
Chris: At the very least we need to recover. Probably should head back with the Elves first.
See if they have any more useful info on what's going on up north.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Okay.
Taking what you can from the remains of the crate, the party heads back to the Krimson Forest.
On your way back, you notice many dead Half-Orcs and fewer fallen Elves.

Fi frowns.
In town, most of the soldiers are resting after a hard day of battle, with some sounds of celebration and some sounds of mourning.
Master at Arms, Dorrel nods as you approach.
George: What Chris said.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Greetings, all. The defense was successful. We were able to defend the border and repel the orcs. I must thank you for rescuing Zey and his students.
We were successful, with minimal losses. How about you? Were you able to find what you needed to?
Chris: Should we let the Elves in on the fact that what we were looking for and why Zey was taken was for the same reason?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (I assume you're asking the party that)
Master at Arms, Dorrel: At any rate, a feast for you all!
Chris: Yes.
Cat: i'd minimize what we know about the black sendrine.
like, they clearly wanted him to forge weapons out of it because it has some funky properties...but maybe not go into super detail on exactly what it does?

Hawk Hubertins smiles and sings a song about the battles of the day and the successful defense of the city.
Fi: We found what we were looking for. It was unfortunately what the Orcs were trying to have Zey forge into weapons.
We should discuss this more later.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Yes, perhaps after the celebration.
The feast includes all sorts of breads, fowl, vegetables, and elven wine.
As the feast and the music come to an end, several elves carry in a treasure chest.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Master Zey was quite thankful for your aid. He and the others you rescued chipped in. All of these gifts are yours.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Check out the "Loot from Redlands" Handout under the "Shadow Over Redtooth" folder
Cat: i suppose it would be rude to start fondling them all right here.
should i just leave a pile of spellcraft checks for later?

so yeah, probably not that first ring or the boots... :)
...
i think i know someone who might want this necklace.
Cat: and probably someone who should have the ring.
but i'll let people dibs stuff if they want.
Chris: The Chain Shirt +1 would be a straightforward upgrade for Fi, since he already has a masterwork one currently.
Hernz: ring would be good ac for frontlining for veg... not sure if the other ring or boots might be better.
then again the ring is good for all too :)
Cat: not great for me, it probably does less when it's broken ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Gasp! Timestamps were added!
(GM) Chad S.: Is it available for players?
Yes it is!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Or maybe not. You can turn it on under the settings section. Go to the My Settings section and "Enable Chat Timestamps" should be near the bottom.
Chris: Yup
Fi: Hmm? What's this?

Fi pulls out a piece of paper while going through the chunks of Sendrine.
realtime 7/14 7:56 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (I'll assume Fi points out the paper)
Cat: ooooooh fancy.
actually, kinda ugly.
but helpful.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Stuck inside one of the rocks is a sheet of parchment. She splits it open and looks at it. The glyphs are in common, but it doesn't make sense...
Unless it's some kind of codex. Anyone knows Linguistics? (Or a good int check?)

Planning my final trick.

Hawk Hubertins translates for the group.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (Well, see above message for the translation.)
Vegeta: Anyone know this Midnight person?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (George and Cat are putting Eric to bed.)
I assume Vegeta ate his customary bread and water during the feast? There were many types of bread, and Vegeta did notice several vegetarian dishes.
Hernz: rice and bread... I'm not vegetarian! lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Unless you guys are doing anything else, I'll fastforward to the next day.
Cat: he's grain-a-tarian.
hey, does this give hawk a leg up on eventually cracking merki's notes in general? :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Which notes should he look at?
Cat: don't we have some notebooks or something?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh yeah, Merki's notes. This will help a bit.
Hawk Hubertins: Merki!!!!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll fast forward, then.

gametime May 8, 1236 AD (morning)

The druids forecast a sunny day. Jovias Dewleaf seems to have recovered from his tiger mauling, and the Master At Arms seems slightly more joyful than usual.
Vegeta: Merki as clever in death as when he was alive... impressive
Any objections to me holding on to the ring until we ID the other items?

Veg + Nidri: ".........."
Chris: That was for the code breaking.
But yours is just as good.
Hernz: :)
let me see these chat timestamps...
oh, not bad at all
realtime 7/16, 3:59 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Wait, what are you guys doing here in the afternoon? Wait, where was I last night? BUSTED
Nidri manages to identify everything, including the Ring of Sustenance and the Boots of the Cat.
Jovias Dewleaf: Yes, feeling much better now. A day of rest and relaxation will do that to you.
I heard the border defense went well. We drove most of the Orcs back, I think...
Finally mixed my liquid courage for the day. I hope you were able to accomplish your reasons for coming here... Whatever it is.
Cat: lolz.
busted.
Fi: Yes, we tracked down what we needed to find. Appears that someone stole it and gave it to the Orcs.
Chris: We've got a big order of execution to decide on. Should we try to track down CF now? Should we go back to Harvest Wharf to update Dakan and Marjorie before coming back? Should we try to figure out what/who this "Midnight" is?
If we feel time is of the essence then we should go after CF now to avoid the extra travel. On the downside we could be getting in over our head with lack of knowledge or backup.
Cat: i think we need to chase CF immediately. Shee keeps getting ahead of us.
realtime 7/16 8:50 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): DUN DUN DUN...! Decision time. All I can say is one of your decisions will go off the rails. Which decision is on rails? I won' tell!
Jovias Dewleaf: Oof. That sounds rough. No idea how you're going to jump into that battlefield and oh no you're thinking about going in there, aren't you.
Hernz: It just occurred to me, why did we even have to ID the items... wouldn't they have told us? Instead of a "here's a present... good luck figuring out what it does!!?? Muahahahaha"...
We've been chasing CF for so long, I've forgotten what CF stands for... I say we keep chasing
Chris: I don't think we know what it stands for.
Hernz: oh good, it's not memory loss... phew!
Hawk Hubertins: We're close. If we head back to report in, we might lose the trail. I say we go after CF now.
realtime 7/17, 9:19 pm
The party discusses matters, and decides they need to enter the Redtooth Lands and find CF.
Jovias Dewleaf: Oh boy. Looks like you guys are going, huh...I guess I should join you.
Jovias Dewleaf dusts himself off, then grabs his longsword.
Jovias Dewleaf: I will miss my day here...the minstrels are quite entertaining...
Should we tell the Master at Arms?
Fi: Yes, it would probably be for the best if someone knows where we are. You are welcome to join us, but please don't feel that you are required to. What we are about to do isn't under EFTC orders.
Jovias Dewleaf: Oh, now, we're talking...
Jovias Dewleaf juggles a potion between his hands
An hour later, the party gains an audience with the Master At Arms.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: The defense efforts went very well. The Orcs encroaching our borders have fled or were slain, and we suffered minimal losses. Even those annoying goblins left us alone.
Jovias mentioned you were going to give a status update. I assume you are on your way home...
Nidranisan: Actually, we have a few more...errands...before we return.
We will be investigating Riga's new wife first.
Fi: We suspect that she has caused the drastic change in Orc behavior.
realtime 7/18 8:57 pm
Hernz: I think we should try to sell/buy before we proceed... we have quite a bit of loot...I can't mod the loot sheet, but here's prices: Tracer Bullets 5000 GP, Ring of sus: 2500 GP, Boots: 1000, necklace 2700, prot ring: 2000, armors 1175, 1300
Master at Arms, Dorrel: I...see.
Hernz: and some of it is useful
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Gave you editing rights to that loot document
Hernz: done, thanks
we can actually buy legit stuff after this!
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Hmm. I don't think should march right into their camp...but I won't stop you.
Nidranisan: I don't think we were planning to be quite that blunt.
Hernz: we can just walk in and throw a few of those fireball beads and be done lol
Cat: i have this funny feeling clair might want those heh.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Good, good.
Master at Arms, Dorrel smiles.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Then I wish you the best of luck. Are you going too, Jovias?
Nidranisan: If there is anything else you know about them, though, we'd be interested to hear.
And of course if we find out anything of interest to you while we're there we will be sure that information gets back here.
Jovias Dewleaf: Ah, yes...I've grown a bit attached to them. And their town...useful to learn the outside world.
Jovias Dewleaf scratches himself nervously
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Well, enjoy your time in the Krimson, and best of luck to you.
Hernz: If people are ok, Veg will take the ring of prot as part of his loot split, unless someone else really wants it more
Cat: i don't think i can really use much/any of it.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll let you guys figure out loot. Also, what is your plan? Jovias will help you as much as he can.
Cat: what do we actually know?
anything about the area at all?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So you know about the four chieftains. Reeta mentioned she liberated the goblins who were slaves to the most powerful chieftan of the four.
CF is the new wife of Riga Plague-Bringer.
And you know where the Krimson Army marched during the assault yesterday.
You could guess a relatively safe path to travel upon that would take you closer to Riga's territory.
Chris: Vegeta could use the ring of sustenance too! Then he won't have to eat anything at all! And he could take more watches at night to boot! :-P
Hernz: lolol
make me a sentinel why dont you lol
Chris: Fi will take the Chain Shirt +1
And she will throw her Masterwork set into the pile to sell in exchange.
Hernz: If Hawk or Claire want any of those, take them... and then sell the rest! roll high!!! :)
Meghan: Did someone say necklace of fireballs?
Hernz: lol
Meghan: dibs
Hernz: those bullets are useless but worth so much... very nice find
Meghan: I think these handouts need dates on them
so I know how late to the game I am
Hernz: is it a diplo bomb to sell?
Chris: Does Hawk use armor?
Hernz: not sure
Ok, well, for when we sell, if it's a diplo check... let's see if I can help (assuming we can)... figure I'll leave a roll
Vegeta: Diplo Bomb: 118
oops
Diplo Bomb: 8
Hernz: yeah, I don't help

does that help?

Chris: I hope the Elves don't feel too put off by us immediately selling what they gave us ;-)
Hernz: lolol
George: Gimme a sec to look at the loots. Hawk needs an armor upgrade, and I hear we might have something good for him.
Hawk Hubertins: Yeah, Hawk would take the Studded Leather +1 as a part of his share of the most recent loot.
George: And possibly the ring of sustenance, unless one of the other casters wants it.
Hernz: All yours... now assist Claire with a diplo to sell the remains?
George: Is Hawk assisting or making the roll?
Either way, here's Hawk:
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Diplomacy
Check	19
Hernz: Claire has +19 bonus from god knows what lol... so we took her as lead
All I know is Chad is going to make us pay by having a lot of pit traps and saying "see, don't you wish you had boots of the cat now??"

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Store owner's diplomacy 24
Hernz: sweet! go Claire bomb!
Claire manages to convince the store owners to buy her excess stuff at 65% of the purchase cost. Racism sucks! Tolerance rulez!
Hernz: I'll do the calcs
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta's abacus montage
Hernz: LOLOLOL
Veg gets: 1737 GP, 7 SP, 5 CP
Claire gets: 1282 GP, 7 SP, 5 CP
Fi gets: 2192 GP, 7 SP, 5 CP, plus 195 GP for his tradein
Hawk gets 649 GP
Nidri gets 3037 GP, 7 SP, 5 CP
Hernz: And Hawk, feel free to sell your armor too like Fi did I guess... not sure what you have now
This includes the 5000 GP distribution... all the loot
I hope I did that right hahaha
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You want to update the Loot! Document?
Hernz: once I verify it :)
done
Is purchase price always 100%?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hey Hernz: 50 Tracer bullets cost 100 gp total, not per bullet.
Hernz: the thing said Tracer Bullet... no plural... ok, redoing
good thing I just set a formula
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hehe, yeah.
Hernz: updated the Loot from Redlands
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I need to make sure if that's 1 bullet or 50 bullets, but you should only get 100 gp out of that.
Hernz: that's the money we each take after accounting for the items we kept each
Cat: eventually, i'll figure out how broken works for magic stuff :)
...should i bother tracking xp, Chad, or will you just tell us when we level? :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll tell you guys when you level. There's a little more when you're done with this quest.
Cat: cool. i never updated the xp to next level :)
Chris: Chad, ammunition pricing is standard magic pricing per quantity 50. So it probably would be 5000 for 50 since those are +1 bullets plus something extra.
Cat: so, i will continue to not bother.
Chris: So, 1 bullet.
Hernz: hence the single +5 arrow you found in my run!! lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Righty. 1 Tracer Bullet it is.
Alright, make your purchases. Tomorrow I'll continue your investigation.
Cat: ...did the loot monies just change again?
'cause i already marked mine on my sheet
Hernz: not sure what everyone had before this last loot, but it now includes the split for the 5000gp and the items we sold
rather, that's in that separate loot from redlands
Cat: yeah i just meant there seems to be a lot of discussion around the bullets.
so ler us know if there is a recalculation of those redlands numbers.
Hernz: that's been updated
Cat: k .:)
Meghan: I have no idea if I've accounted for all my money. I got the bit Hernz just posted now. I've probably missed other things.
I probably want to ditch my wand of gravity bow, since Fi has the spell
realtime 7/20, 8:56 pm

gametime May 8, 1236 AD (morning)

The party figures out its finances before heading out to investigate more on CF.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Is anyone making purchases?
Chris: I'm contemplating a +1 composite long bow (1)
Hernz: DO IT! I'm buying new magic fingers.... doh
Chris: Ok. Fi would like to sell her current bow (200GP) for that (2500GP)
Hernz: can we assume we sell all this at the price Claire haggled?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Ah, I'll keep you at 50% sale price for your own stuff.
Chris: Ok. Putting all my gold (2400GP) on a weapon.
Hernz: need to borrow to make it 2500? (not sure if that's what it cost)
Chris: No. I've got it. It was 2400 after trade in.
I've got a small amount left.
The shopkeeper goes on about how the bow was carved out of Krimson Wood over ten years, enchanted by some of the greatest scholars, and verified by the Master At Arms himself.
Fi: Yes, a fine bow.
Merchant: A legendary bow for you, o esteemed archer! You've made quite a bargain today!
Fi: If you say so...
Hernz: lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): What about you Vegeta?
Hernz: all set... short a few hundred
if we had had 5000 worth of bullets....... lol
Cat: need a loan?
i mean wtf am i gonna buy anyway.
Hernz: 800 GPs?
oops, 900 lol
Cat: yeah
i can do that np
Vegeta: Thanks Nidri
Nidranisan: NP, maybe free me up to hover over someone else? ;)
Vegeta: hahaha, just don't hover too far
Nidranisan: Never do.
Cat: mumble mumble nowhere to write down how much the bum owes me ;)

Vegeta will purchase a headband of wis+2
Hernz: I'll keep track... 900, thanks!
Cat: i put an 'item' that is 'IOU from Vegeta' heh
Merchant: It is said Shavanni Tinderrain, eccentric wizard, once wore this badge to help her concentrate, and prevent a town from flooding in torrential downpour!
Cat: descriptino 900 gp
Hernz: lol
Vegeta: um... yeah.... whatever old man, just take the money
Merchant: Yes! Of course! Sometimes you see her here, donating time and wealth to the School of Higher Knowledge! Of course, one as wise as you would know that already!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Any other purchases?
George: Hawk sells his leather armor.
Vegeta: sounds like we good to go?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Seems that way.
Cat: zoom zoom.
Taking into account various factors like the Krimson's defense yesterday, the patrols today and the known Orc camps, you notice a few of Riga's camps that were routed yesterday that should still be abandoned. Maybe a clue lies there?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like a plan?
Hernz: sounds good to me
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright. Move out!
Any prep spells and the like you're doing? You guess the march to the camp will take about 4 hours.
Vegeta: I don't now if we have any spells that last that long
Hernz: ooc oops
Cat: i don't.
and yeah, sounds like our only source of leads.
dewleaf is tagging along?
As you travel out of town, past the border, and into the field, you notice the smashed Orc camps.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Jovias Dewleaf follows the group, keeping to himself and holding onto his bottle of liquid courage.
Most of the orcs were stabbed, slashed, burned and bludgeoned.
Some of the Orcs weren't injured, but are dead.
Nidri figures the Orcs died from Fillth Fever.
Fi: Oh joy. That again?

Noting the state of disease and decay, these orcs had to have died weeks ago. But how could they have stayed so close to the border for that long?
Nidranisan: ...
definitely something weird going on here.
Hernz: dammit... next level I'll be immune to disease.. lol
Cat: haha
While investigating the Plague Bringer's Camp, they hear an panicked Orc shout from about 400 feet away.

Jovias Dewleaf swallows his flask of liquid courage.
Jovias Dewleaf: Okay, let's save that stupid orc.
Nidranisan: sure, just, maybe hang back a step?
let veg and fleir go up front.

Cat: i have time for one prep spell before we jump them?
Hernz: yup
Cat: you want magic weapon?
i can armor up first round after you run off.
Vegeta: heh, go for it ;)
Nidranisan casts Magic Weapon on Vegeta!
Nidranisan: Targets/Area: weapon touched
Duration: 1 min/lvl
Magic weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. An enhancement bonus does not stack with a masterwork weapon's +1 bonus on attack rolls.
You can't cast this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk's unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell.
Cat: chad, queue me to armor up unless someone is somehow already dying by my first actual turn. :)

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Who knows Orc (Besides Fi?)
Cat: nidri is gonna see if someone can clear out worm A
before her next go...only way to really get to the orc...
Hernz: if Veg were to move up 40ft (his move) (or even 60 via burning some ki), would he be able to get a clear shot at the half-demon orc?
I'm guessing I should be able to... with a few AoOs from the reach words
worms*
but hoping I don't have to do more than my 40ft move
Chris: If you can get to the row just below him, then you avoid all cover.
So anywhere from directly below Worm G to the rock.

Hawk sings and moves.
George: How specific does a readied action have to be? Can Hawk ready the action of casting a spell, or does it have to be a specific spell?
The rules on that are a little vague.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, I see what you mean. I think it's similar to readying a counterspell in that you choose the spell when your readied action triggers, and not before.
So you can ready an action to "cast a spell" and figure out what that is when it triggers
George: Then Hawk is going to ready casting a spell when an ally misses an attack.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Okay, got it.
Fi and Nidri are up next.

Nidranisan sighs.
Jovias Dewleaf: Well, at least this Orc knows proper procedure.
Orc stands up with his arms at his side
Fi: [Orc] Do you speak any common?
Orc: Ahh....y-y-yeah. Zugzug. Momma said "learn da Comm-on Tongue. So you beg to elves when you lose."
Fi: Wise Mom.
Jovias Dewleaf: Indeed.
Elven is better though.
Fi: Could you describe what happened here?
Orc: Uhm...Okay. Okay. Me and sister clan pledge alleg-iance with Riga Plague-Bringer after he burn last chief.
Riga's Queen Fetish comes up and say "if you loyal you won't burn. But if you lie, you will burn!" So me and sister say "Waaagh! We gotta run!"
We prepare to leave over the week. Some people get sick, then burn away. Some people get sick, but then get strong! Still sick but strong!
And some Orc, they get very loyal. Then they sprout tail and wings, and claws like uh...blue lady.
Orc points at Nidri
Nidranisan: Is that what Riga's queen looks like?
Orc: So finally, me and sister get out of village. Me feel tired, but she feel great.
She feel so great, she sprout wings and feet become cloves like bull's!
Uhh, Riga's queen look like Orc. Pretty Orc. Dressed in Red dress.
Sister say I am a traitor and she make example out of me. Me say, you not my sister and she tell the worms to eat me!
Me run and run until I get tired. Me lean against rock, think this is the end. Then you came and saved me.
Right? You save me?
Fi: I have no desire to hurt you.
Do you have some place to go?
Nidranisan goes over to check demon girl.
Nidranisan casts det magic on the way.
Orc: Uhm...no. Me hear story about Orc who left Redtooth and made house. Maybe me will do that. Or maybe me find her?
Fi: Yes. I would suggest you seek Halgresh for guidance. She can help you find out what to do next.
If you can give us a description of what we will face ahead then I will tell you where she lives.
Orc: Hal-gresh? Oh! [Orc]Halgresh! [Common]Okay, okay.
Wait, the Redtooth land is, um...er...dis-beas? No, um, dis-please? No um, disease! Yah, diseased!

Meghan: Now, Diplomacy? I beat 20 95% of the time.
Cat: heh.
well, i cannot intimidate info out of the corpse.
this is basically a half-fiend, but she hasn't always been.

Cat: lolz ic
Nidranisan: this is basically a half-fiend, but she hasn't always been.
and it's not coming from an item.
she's somehow been...turned.

Orc: Ahh...can me go now?
Nidranisan casts Cure Light on Wounded Orc!

Fi suppresses a laugh and turns it into a cough.
Fi: [Orc] Thank you, Lugtan. Halgresh lives that way.
Orc: Yaaaay! Me gonna make it after all!
Fi: [Orc] (Insert accurate directions here)
Nidranisan: You should be healed up in another day or two. If you travel carefully you should get there fine.
The Orc happily jogs away after talking to Fi.

Fi bursts out laughing.
Jovias Dewleaf: Hmm...I feel like I've heard that word before...
Nidranisan: ...what's the deal with the names?
Fi: His name means "Idiot!"
Jovias Dewleaf: THAT explains a lot.
Nidranisan: and hers means dumbass?
Fi: No quite the opposite.
Nidranisan: lol.
i mean
Nidranisan laughs.
Jovias Dewleaf: Orcs call themselves lugtan all the time when they are captured.
Err...where to next?
Nidranisan: Yeah, got any plans after that chat, FI?
Fi: I suggest we try to figure out what we are up against. I'm a little worried that we may be in over our heads if we try to do anything about CF right now.
Let's use our time here as scouts. If we see an opportunity, we can take it though.
Vegeta: hmph....
Jovias Dewleaf: Stupid orcs.
Fi: It's not the Orcs I'm worried about. CF has been interfering with man races all around here.
many
Nidranisan: Sure.
If you have a clear shot though, so to speak, don't hesitate.
Jovias Dewleaf: Hmm...I have half an hour before my liquid courage wears off...sure why not?
Nidranisan: Lets go see what we can find.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright. Describe what you are looking for and what information you would like me to report on. Survival, Stealth, Perception, Knowledge (Local) and Heal may be useful skills to roll.
I figure K. Local will let you understand the social structure of the orc villages, and Heal will help you understand the spread of disease.
Cat: things i would like to know include...relative power level of CF, what she's doing to contaminate the land and how to resist it, size of their army.
Vegeta: Survival: 7, Stealth: 17, Perception: 27, Heal: 24
Hernz: power level of CF, yes!
Cat: will try to nudge george on rolling k.local, i think hawk has it or can make one check a day.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Seems that way. Bedtime for me, but I'll make a handout answering your questions in time for tomorrow.
Nidranisan: survival: 8
stealth: 8
perception: 10
heal: 25
Cat: how very...in character.
are we all helping?
highest bonus takes the lead?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Not sure yet. Feel free to roll everything you can.
Cat: i have heal at +8 and survival at +5.
Fi:
Fi : Survival
Check	11
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll wind up giving you the best possible results based on your rolls.
Chris: lol
Cat: always thought that made the most sense, honestly.
Hernz: I got the perception lead
Cat: if we're all working together constructively and helpfully, we probably know who's doing the best ;)
i probably have the heal lead.
Hernz: that works too
Fi:
Fi : Stealth
Check	28
Fi : Heal
Check	23
Fi : Perception
Check	16
Hernz: you're at +13 perception too? damn! lol
Chris: Elf.
Hernz: ah, right
Chris: Guess I burned my good rolls in combat.
George: Helping whoever seems to be taking charge of the various rolls.
Hernz: yeah, all yoru hits were like 15+ lol
Claire:
Claire : Heal
Check	23
I ... help?
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Knowledge-Local
Check	24
Hawk Hubertins : Perception
Check	19
Hawk Hubertins : Stealth
Check	20
Cat: yeah, i think the heal check is important, and we've got it pretty damn well covered at this point :)
Hernz: yeah, 23, 23, 24, 25... pretty solid
Chris: survival is a bust though.
Hernz: lol
2 1s rolled lol
Cat: heh yup.
we'll get some great info. we'll all get lost and sick and die, but we'll have some great info.
Hernz: LOLOL
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Read the "Redtooth Scouting Report" handout. Also, give me a Fort Save for each of you due to fail Survival checks.
Claire:
Claire : Fortitude
Save	13
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Fortitude
Save	21
Cat:
Nidranisan : Fortitude
Save	12
so, yeah, sick. :)
Vegeta: Fortitudeness! 6
Hernz: super sick
I think the save is DC 12...

gametime May 8, 1236 AD (afternoon)

The party spends most of the day investigating on CF's reach.
Fi:
Fi : Fortitude
Save	18
Fleir : Fortitude
Save	26
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright. Any other questions you wanted answered from the investigation? If not, where to next?
Jovias's Fort Save 8
Fi: While I'm confident that we could handle individual skirmishes. The scale of this seems rather vast. I suspect we might be encountering an army of half-fiends if we push much further.
Jovias Dewleaf: You-you think there's an army of half-fiends?
Fi: I feel that their objective here is to expose as many tribes to the disease as possible. The ones that survive possibly become these fiendish hybrids.
It would seem odd for their objective to be only to spread disease and have this transformation simply be a side effect.
Jovias Dewleaf: Hmm...an interesting thought.
Fi: As soon as they turn they apparently convert into followers of the new regime.
I imagine that once they are done with the Orcs, they will set their sights on the surrounding peoples.
Jovias Dewleaf: Oh no...the Krimson would be their logical target. Although they'd have to conquer the rest of the Redtooth Lands first.
Fi: That gives you some time, but they will be all the stronger by then.
Not to mention what will become of the Orcs.
Jovias Dewleaf: Yes, that would be- terrible. We need more Lugtans and fewer Lugtons.
Chris: Before I drive this too far, I'll have Fi wait for character input.
Jovias Dewleaf seems much more composed and calm than before.
Hernz: Veg would be fine trying his skill against an army, if only he were stronger..... of course he'd never say any of this ;)
realtime 7/28, 7:55 pm
Hernz: chad just came in, inserted a time stamp, and left... lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Still here, but wondering if people were gonna comment/figure out what they wanted to do.
Hernz: gotcha
Fi tends to make good choices lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Party went off the rails for a bit, so I gave some extra credit.
Hernz: lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Chris is reading his phone, so feel free to give input. Sounds like Fi thinks you should regroup back to the Krimson Forest.
Vegeta: Agreed Fi
Hernz: there :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Aaaaand I thank you.
After trading notes, the party and Jovias decide to return to the Krimson Forest.
Cat: lolz that was off the rails? :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lol.
Jovias Dewleaf: Well, that was fun. Should we tell the Master At Arms?
Hernz: OMG I figured it out! CF = Cooler and Frieza!! NOOOOOO!!!!
Vegeta: I guess we should report back
Meanwhile, in the war room...
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Ah. What can I help you with? Enjoyed the remains of the Orcs? It is their penalty for messing with the Krimson.
Nidranisan mumbles something about hoe many FI should explain, because I'm not going to say it nicely.
Cat: HOE.
(how...maybe...i want my finger back...)
Fi: I can't say I particularly enjoyed the remains, but that is not why we went out there.
We wanted to do some investigation on rumors that we've been hearing, and unfortunately our fears have been verified. A disease is spreading across the Redtooth lands. The disease turns the land black and causes what appears to be Filth Fever among the inhabitants.
That might sound like a bonus to you, but it is much worse than it sounds. A portion of the Orcs infected are become half-fiends and are much stronger than they were.
What is worse is that these altered Orcs are immediately loyal to Riga and his new wife even if they were fleeing from them previously. We believe that Riga's wife is the source of this disease and strange occurrence.
They seem to be amassing an army of these Orc-Fiends and will likely set their sights on the surrounding lands once they are done.
7/29 8:59 pm
Fi single-handedly gives a report to the Master At Arms.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Hmm... This is troubling, indeed. The civil war between the factions keep them at bay.
This disease aspect is quite troubling. I will confer with the clerics for their information.
Fi: You may want them to look over us. Some of us may have been exposed.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: I want to personally thank you for your dilligence, Fi. I see your Far Away Land (TM) trained you well.
Yes, of course, of course.
After a few minutes, several clerics show up into the room and begin checking for disease.
Fi: We will also discuss these findings with the EFTC and the Harvest Wharf guards. Hopefully we'll be able to arrange for a group effort to deal with this.
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Yes. That is definitely a good idea. Perhaps a joint effort will be needed to counter this.
The clerics identify some of the party members did contract Filth Fever, and manage to rid them of all disease.
Hernz: wwoooooooo
Vegeta: thank you
Master at Arms, Dorrel: Yes. Master Zey wished to speak with you all before you left.
Fi: Very well. Thank you.
The Master at Arms nods to you, then calls his lieutenants to talk to them. He escorts you out of the war room/
Jovias Dewleaf: ...Never a dull moment for you guys, huh?
Fi: They are few and far between.
Jovias Dewleaf: Well, whenever you are ready to return to Harvest Wharf, I am ready. Hopefully I won't get torn apart by dancing zombies again.
Hawk Hubertins: I sometimes feel we could use some more dull times.
I should hope not, Jovias. We'll come find you when we're done speaking with Master Zey.
Jovias Dewleaf: Yes, yes.
The party heads to the smithery. The elder elf is busy directing his students, gently reminding them to put the iron in the water after they are heated, not before.
Zey: Ah, yes. You came. Good.
I wanted to tell you all about that black stone could be forged into weapons.
It is soft and would be prone to breaking, though.
Fi: Yes, we saw some results for someone's prior attempt.

Fi shows some examples.
Zey: Hmm. I suppose their efforts were so poor they needed a master smith to improve the process.
These examples are quite crude...
They look like something my students would make!
Fi: haha!
Zey says the last sentence loudly, causing one of his students to flinch.
Zey: As thanks for helping me, I will forge better weapons for you using that material if you can find more of those rocks for me.
As for now, I will give you masterwork quality weapons, if I have them in stock.
Chris: Are what we are carrying sufficient? Who's interested in weapons?
Hernz: that was pretty awesome Cat ;) lolol
Vegeta: (don't we get better deals by giving the black stuff to the other guy?)
Hernz: yeah, clearly I dont need, I think you have a +1, and the rest cast...
Nidranisan: (not if we want weapons made of it.)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Master Zey is willing to offer you each 1 Masterwork Quality Weapon for free. If you have Black Sendrine to offer, he will try to forge it into a weapon.
Chris: I would probably be after arrows made from it.
Vegeta: I'll leave it up to you guys... my fists are better than any weapon anyone could make
Nidranisan: no black sendrine brass knuckles?
Vegeta: they'd just break with the force of my fists
Fi: Who would want a weapon?
Chris: I feel like I'm the only weapon user in the party. Hawk and Claire sometime use a crossbow.
Hernz: after burning hands, she's never touching one again lol
Cat: yeah, not so much on the weapons front for me....
though it might behoove us to have a knife made of the stuff.
Chris: Well, we can upgrade the crossbows. If we've got a spare slot, I would like to get a long sword and arrows made.
Cat: i think he might cry when he hands me a masterwork crossbow.
Master Zey continues yelling at his incompetent students.
Cat: ( i do still have one, tho)
Chris: I'm going to assume that it is pointless to make crossbows out of sendrine.
How about 2x masterwork crossbows, 1x sendrine longsword, 1 set of sendrine arrows. Does Nidri want to add anything?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, you would want Sendrine bolts to get the effect.
He will need one rock of Black Sendrine per weapon (or 50 ammo)
Chris: so here's an important question: Does Abundant Ammunition work with sendrine? It says "non-magical" ammuntion.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I will say it cannot. Black Sendrine interferes with many magical properties.
Chris: How many rocks do we have now 3?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I believe you got 3 from the crate.
Chris: Can any be salvaged from the broken weapons?
Hernz: how much did the other guy give us for these btw? 100GP or 100PP? I know chad made a typo somewhere one time lol
Chris: 100PP per rock.
George: Err, Hawk doesn't use a crossbow, he uses a short bow.
Chris: right.
my bad.
Hernz: what's the benefit of these weapons again? kills sayans?
George: He has a rapier, he just doesn't like being in the front line.
Chris: We believe that are effective against outsiders.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): He can't salvage them from the crap weapons. Hey needs the raw rocks.
George: So do they have a masterwork composite shortbow?
And Fi and Hawk can both use sendrine arrows.
Chris: I think composite is only for long bows.
Hernz: so chad... did you say the masterwork stuff is free from him?
George: I'm sad AA doesn't work with sendrine arrows, but it makes sense.
Chris: Oh. I see just the strength ones are.
Yes, 1 masterwork per character is free.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 1 free Masterwork weapon
Hernz: so we could all get stuff even if we don't need? and then pawn? :D
Cat: hernz to the rescue with a metagame!
Chris: Leave it to Hernz.
Hernz: I owe nidri's moneys!
fine fine
Cat: yeah, i do carry around a light crossbow...i'd take a better one.
is it still masterwork when it's broken? ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lolz.
"How about 2x masterwork crossbows, 1x sendrine longsword, 1 set of sendrine arrows."
Is that your plan?
Chris: Sounds like a short bow for hawk instead.
Hernz: and a claymore for veg lol j/k
Cat: is claire getting a crossbow?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 1x masterwork crossbows,
1x masterwork shortbow,
1x sendrine longsword,
1 set of sendrine arrows
Meghan: shoot, do I use a crossbow?
Cat: do you use anything? :)
Meghan: Other than fire?
Yes, I have a light crossbow
Cat: we can't get you masterwork flames :P
Chris: I think we can get up to 5 items.
Cat: ok, so, 2 light crossbows, 1 short bow in masterwork, 1 longsword, 1 set arrows in sendrine.
Meghan: fancy.
yeah, put me down for something
Chris: So expend 2 sendrine, and save 1 for later? I guess we could dump the old sendrine weapons at that point too.
Cat: yeah, with a sword and arrows, especially if you share the arrows with hawk, we probably don't need to "use up" the third one right now.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 2x masterwork crossbows,
1x masterwork shortbow,
1x sendrine longsword,
1 set of sendrine arrows
Chris: Sounds fine.
George: Yay! We have a plan!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Adding stuff to your "Loot" document
Zey: I see. Give me some time to forge the sword and the arrow. I'll have it ready in the morning.
Cat: so...back to the wharf in the morning?
or was there something else first?
Chris: sounds good.
Cat: visit halgresh "on the way"
to make sure they're warned/aware of what's happening?
Chris: +1
Hernz: +2
George: Yay! We have a plan!
Hernz: lol
Cat: not only that, but it's been peer reviewed.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So then, next day?
Cat: seems that way.
Hernz: +1

May 9, 1236 AD (morning)

Another night in the inner Krimson Forest.
At the smithy, Master Zey hands you your masterwork weapons and sendrine-based weapons.
Zey: Here you are. Tell me if you find these useful. Give those bastards who captured me hell!
Fi: Wow, these look amazing! Are you sure that this is the same material?

Fi smirks.
Zey laughs
Zey: I will make sure everyone here knows of the good deeds you made in the past few days.
Nidranisan: thank you.
...did you want the old one?
Nidranisan holds up the old crossbow. (unsurprisingly to the party...it looks broken.)

Fi chuckles.
Zey: Hmm. I could take it off your hands if you don't want it any more.
Zey takes the crossbow.
Zey: A shame that it...broke?
Or did it?
Nidranisan: it's a long story.
Zey: The pull seems fine, though...hmm. You! Find the defects in this broken weapon!
Master Zey screams to one of his students and hands him a crossbow.
Fi: Uhh... Never mind.
The student's eyes are wide open, as if he's in the headlights of an oncoming train.
Nidranisan quickly stashes the new one.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Alright, bedtime for me. Good night, folks.
Cat: g'night!
Vegeta: night
realtime 7/30 8:59 pm
The blacksmith Zey hands the party some shiny new weapons.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's about morning. It sounded like you guys were going to leave and head to Halgresh's home.
Hernz: yup
we had a +2 to that decision lol
Vegeta: thanks for the help old man
Zey: Indeed, youngling. Best of luck to you.
Bidding Master Zey goodbye, the team leaves the Krimson Forest.

gametime May 9, 1236 AD (afternoon)

Cat: cue the world map music.
The party reaches Halgresh's hut later in the day. Her mate Allshai is outside the hut as you approach. His fine robes have been traded for simple farm clothes.
Allshai's a sweaty, tired mess as he plants some more crops.
Allshai pants and wheezes
Allshai: Oh! Is that...Nidranisan?
Allshai yells into the hut.
Allshai: Halgresh! Merki's friends are here!
Allshai runs up to the party.
Allshai: My visions weren't wrong. I'm so glad. Come in, come in.
Fi: [Elven] Hello, Allshai.
[Orc] Hello, Halgresh.
Nidranisan: Hope you are both well.
Allshai: Ah, yes, we are doing very well.
The hut is still small, as usual. Halgresh is resting on one the beds, while Lugtan is tending to the cauldron.
Fi: [Orc] I see you made it, Lugtan.
Lugtan runs up and hugs Fi
Nidranisan: Well, that's...a surprise.
Lugtan: Zug zug! Me make it Okay. Your instructions good! No elves saw me until I got close
Fi: [Elven] We've got a hugger.
Lugtan: Thank you!
Fi: Good. Good.
Allshai laughs for a bit until he waves Lugtan off and directs him back to the cauldron.

Fi adjusts herself.
Halgresh: Hi everybody! Lug- er, Lug...I call him LugLug.
LugLug say you told him to come here.
Fi: I couldn't think of a safe place for him to come aside from here.
Did he tell you what has happened to the Redtooth Lands?
Halgresh: Yes, LugLug tell me much about Redtooth. It changed much since I left.
Me know elves say bad things about Redtooth. And Redtooth do many bad things. But Redtooth am home.
Me would crush this See Eff, if me get close to her. LugLug say tribes force to pray to her or they get burned.
Hmpf. In MY tribe we just kill the leader.
Much easier that way.
Little man know what I mean!
Halgresh points at Vegeta and nods knowlingly
Vegeta: hehe, I like your style
Halgresh: Just smash with club! ...but me digress
Allshai nods
Allshai: That's right, you're digressing.
Obviously I can't say all Orcs are bad. I would like the wars between our nations to end, but not like this. He mentioned the "Black ground." And said your bodies would burn if you weren't loyal. Do you know what he meant by that?
Fi: Yes, the black ground appears to be spreading the Filth Disease, but with some odd side effects.
The afflicted either get sick or get stronger by turning half-fiend.
Those that turn become loyal to CF.
That is what happened to LugLug's sister.
Vegeta: (that the one I burned to death?)
Fi: (Yes... Thank you)
Allshai: Hmm...and what is this "CF", anyway?
Fi: Rigga's new wife. Apparently, a beautiful Orc in a red dress. I suspect that she has many appearances.
Halgresh: "See Eff" is Riga's new wife!
Fi: We suspect that she actually has some amount of Div blood.
Halgresh: Divs?
Allshai: Evil outsiders. Wish to see the ruin of all mortal civilizations.
Nidranisan makes a face.
Allshai: Well, that's what most are driven to. But everyone makes their own decision.
Allshai hastily tries to save face.
Fi: We're in a land of counter examples surrounded by generalizations.
Lugtan: Uh...so they good?
Fi: Who?
Lugtan: Me confused. So you going to kill "See Eff?"
Fi: If there is no other option, then yes.
I doubt that she is the surrender peacefully type especially since she has been destroying the Redtooth Lands and forcefully creating a hybrid army.
I don't see how anyone who is doing that can be good.
Halgresh: Me explain something: We Orc follow whoever is strong. We in Redtooh do not care about who is "good" or "bad" - just whoever leads us.
Vegeta: that's how it should be... that's how it was in my lands
Fi: Even if that leader is destroying them?
Halgresh: Yay. We not...uh...good at figuring things.
Allshai: Orcs aren't exactly philosophers or politicians.
Fi: Well. I'm concerned about many things. First, I don't think this will stop with just the Redtooth Lands. Second, if we're going to involve our neighbors we should do it before the Redtooth are destroyed.
Best to have the other tribes on our side rather than against us.
Also better to save as many Orcs as we can.
I think we've already got the Krimson Elves ready to make a move. We need to bring Harvest Wharf to action next.
Allshai: Yes, that does sound wise.
Fi: Do you think there is any chance that we could coordinate with the other Orc tribes at all?
Halgresh: Uh...Maybe you could beat the chief and claim supremacy?

Fi looks shocked at the thought.
Allshai: Yes, supremacy. Or could you protect yourself against the Filth Fever somehow?
Fi: Yes, that is probably the biggest problem to solve for infiltration to happen.
Allshai: If what Lugtan said is true, then you'd march the armies straight into death.
Or at least a forced conversion into half-fiends.
Fi: I know the Krimson Clerics are trying to research it a bit.
Allshai: The clerics would. Probably to see who can cure it quickly.
Glory hogs, the lot of them.
Vegeta: I like the idea of beating up on this chief... who cares to handle the pawns anyway?
Halgresh: We take good care of LugLug. He have many questions about outside Redtooth.
Remind me of Merki...
Allshai: I don't remember. Did you guys ever find out...
Vegeta: find out....?
Fi: We suspect that CF is probably tied to what Merki was researching at the time.
Several of Merki's things from EFTC were taken on her orders.
Allshai: Yes, I see.
Chris: I thought Vegeta was wise ;-)
Hernz: wasn't sure if chad was using it as a "we must ask" and then allshal woudl say "no, nothing, nevermind" and then we'd push to find out something we didn't know about lol
Chris: haha. What would Merki's parents ask if we've found anything out about when he was brought up?
Hernz: I dont know!! some magic flying space ship??
Chris: Have Vegeta roll sense motive then.
Hernz: lol
Vegeta: sense motifs 29
Hernz: ok, I'm good lol
Allshai: Thank you for your update, and your dedication.
Halgresh: You can stay for as long as you want. Allshai made more stew.
Chris: Should we stay here for the night?
LugLug makes more stew, while Allshai finishes off crops.
Halgresh spends most of the day in bed, resting.
Vegeta: I'll keep a watch outside... you guys have fun with the stew
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Huh, that sounds like a good idea to me. Night night.
Fi: [Allshai][Elven] Something wrong with Halgresh?
realtime 7/31, 10:13 pm
Allshai whispers something into Fi's ear.
Vegeta: perception 14
Hernz: yup, I hear nothing
Allshai gets positively giddy with excitement.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Unless anyone is doing anything else that day...

gametime May 10, 1236 AD (morning)

The previous day passed peacefully. Vegeta watched a skinny elf struggle with planting crops.
Allshai: Lugtan made some oatmeal for you, Vegeta. I hope you like it.
Vegeta: oh ah... yes, maybe I'll take it for the road... thank you
Allshai: Hmm. Good luck on your journeys, everyone.
My visions tells me you are close to some kind of breakthrough on Merki.
Fi: Thank you for the hospitality. Good luck to all of you.
Ok. Hopefully for the better.
Vegeta: let's head out then
Nidranisan: And thanks for helping... Luglug.
So...back to harvest wharf then?
Hernz: yup
test 71
Chris: 183
Hernz: lol
Chris: cool. That was a randomly rolled number of dice for a randomly rolled die size :-P
Hernz: sweet
mine was... I was bored lol

(GM) Chad S. (GM): (Apologies if I get distracted...the Super Metroid 4 way race just started)
Chris: sweet
Hernz: lol
if it distracts you into leveling us by accident, I'm good with that
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I missed the 100% Link to the Past run this afternoon, but it'll appear on YouTube at some point
Shadow Over Redtooth complete!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): What's your xp so far? You're just at level 4, right?
Hernz: yup... you havent' assigned since we leveled back whernever that was
Chris: 6k.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lol, it's been a while.
2000 xp for each of you!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): That should put you halfway to level 5
Meghan: wooooah, we're halfway there.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh man, 1 guy died already, 12 minutes in
Chris: I hope we're living on more than a prayer.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sorry! Distracted GM is Distracted
Alright, onto Harvest Wharf.
Hernz: I'll handle the guitar riff
Jovias Dewleaf catches up to the party on the road.
Jovias Dewleaf: Oh! There you are. I was wondering where you were.
I wanted to travel back to Harvest Wharf with you.
Chris: For some reason I thought he was coming with us.
Someone forgot the Elf?
Jovias Dewleaf: If I get gored, I'd like someone to bring me back for healing.
Vegeta: let me deal with the front lines and that won't happen elf
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (Yeah, it wasn't clear if you mentioned where you were going to Halgresh's hut.)
Jovias Dewleaf: Hmpf.
Vegeta: heh
George: Yeah, it was totally Hawk's intention to make sure we have Jovias with us when we head back to HW
Jovias Dewleaf: I'll remember that when my bombs are destroying everything in sight.
Fi: [Jovias] He's like that with everyone. Thankfully he's more useful than his mouth.
Vegeta: hahaha, that's the attitude we want
Jovias Dewleaf gets the joke and laughs.
Jovias Dewleaf: Oh, you human humor. Let's ride!
