Session Start: Sat Mar 18 20:11:43 2000 * Logging #GuinessEmpire to '#guinessempire.log' [20:11] lol [20:11] i insulted him and he replioed some useless drivel on how i should not insult his mother?! [20:12] weird... [20:12] Alright I'm logging now, take nongame conversations to the chat room [20:12] =) [20:12] Your in a funnel-shaped room in the goblin caves, correct? [20:12] yes [20:12] yup [20:13] Ghorig found out what a pincushion felt like, etc. [20:13] am I coherent? [20:13] siln healed you [20:13] Ghor: If they let Siln heal you, yes [20:13] more like what a chopping block feels like [20:13] oh i thought she did nm [20:13] *** Lilturtle has joined #GuinessEmpire [20:14] 2d8+2 [20:14] * Lilturtle throws the bones for Toymaker (2d8+2) and gets 17. [20:14] Ghorig: SHe healed you for 1`7 [20:15] right on [20:15] so now what guys [20:15] GRAH! [20:15] Bolt: Going to tell the world your master plan without Tyrion to complete it? [20:15] let's go charge back in! [20:15] "Well everyone, I think this funnel shaped room would be the best place to confront them." [20:15] i'm with ghor... [20:16] they can't possibly take all of us [20:16] how many did you say again? [20:16] and if they do? [20:16] (60 [20:16] i must have caught a glimpse before.... [20:16] oh [20:16] Siln notes that they had a lot of bows [20:16] hmm [20:16] "Not only can we concentrate them into a small place, but we have an avenue of escape in case we need it." [20:17] * Ajantis sees the logic in bolt's plan... [20:17] "if only we could get them here" [20:17] "Exactly! That's what I was trying to do earlier. They didn't fall for it though!" [20:17] Siln: "I've never fought Goblins before, it not like orcs. They aren't so conceded and territorial." [20:18] Guys i had a plan....but Tyrion seems to have vanished...maybe his ring began to work...... [20:18] (a little too well) [20:18] "Tell us, Wanas" [20:18] "That's why I think that possibly taunting them into an attack may be the answer." [20:18] (We'll have to assume that Tyrion got poisoned by a bug or something) [20:19] (and can't do anything of use) [20:19] Well, it involved me sneaking into the 60gobbo room with the ring, and possibly dosed up on a ghorig potion, and taking them by suprise, then you all rushing in and finishing them off.... [20:19] oh, so we have his ring then toy? [20:19] course not [20:20] Yes, you could "take it" but when he plays and your not around.... [20:20] you're kidding, wanas [20:20] im only going to borrow it. [20:20] but we dont know how to use it... [20:20] mind you [20:20] Perhaps we can lure them out a few at a time with the smell of food? [20:21] Why, it'll be great. Like the dwarven ledgends of old [20:21] ummm wanas.... you have NO idea how to use it [20:21] Siln looks at Bolt funny saying there goblins not ravenous dogs [20:21] "Everyone gets hungry." [20:21] "besides Bolt, that only works on ME..." [20:21] yes, we need Corine to identify it [20:22] k [20:22] Corine Have you memorized that spell? [20:22] yes [20:22] Ok, try to find the command word, Corine. Then we'll proceed to stage 2 [20:23] (i thought you only juswt wrote it in your spell book..?) [20:23] Does anyone not like this plan? [20:23] (i like the idea with you going cross dressing...) [20:23] How about this ... I use the ring ... go in there and cast color spray on them [20:23] wanas, you'll die [20:23] ummm... on 60 gobbos... mabye not [20:23] "Arcane magics are not in my area of expertise. I have no opinion about it." [20:24] no i won't. Ill be doesed up on your potion, have the element of suprise. They'll be completely taken by suprise [20:24] i say it's easier if we either: GO IN! or RUN AWAY [20:24] Corine casts her magic and finds that the ring has a command word and it is (in elven) "nan deramos" or in common "one's darkness" [20:24] it'll be glorious [20:24] running away is not an option [20:24] hmmm so you need elven to say it? [20:24] Today is a good day to die [20:24] Aj: no, its just an elven word [20:25] oh [20:25] Can i borrow a potion, GHorig? [20:25] hmm [20:25] (lol) [20:25] you're actually going to try it? [20:25] sure, but i pity you [20:25] i think it'll work [20:25] it may onyl have a FEW charges... ty may not be pleased... [20:25] i'll help dig the pit [20:25] you guys wait out of sight, until you hear the commotino, then come running fast [20:25] you know, to rest your holey body in [20:26] * Ajantis is unsure of the deceitfulness of wanas... [20:26] well guys? [20:26] i'm ready... but dislike the idea of "borrowing" [20:27] Siln doesn't think poor Ty would mind....He'd do the same with you [20:27] * Ghorig hands Wanas a potion [20:27] (skull skull skull...) [20:27] Why don't we just keep changing out on the ring LOL [20:27] or those with spells [20:28] *** Spank has joined #guinessempire [20:28] *** Spank is now known as wanarse [20:28] disconnected [20:28] well? shall we try? [20:28] but still willing to go [20:28] -> [Wanas] PING [20:28] you got a potion wanas [20:29] * Ghorig hands Wanas a potion [20:29] ok, lets all troop up to the entrance to the passage, careful of traps... [20:29] "Who's going in?" [20:29] i am [20:29] i am [20:29] I think it must be me. Ghorig's half dead, and none of you could do as much damage [20:29] "anyone got some healing? [20:29] Siln isn't [20:29] *** Wanas has quit IRC (Ping timeout for Wanas[203.166.230.225]) [20:29] I can [20:29] *** wanarse is now known as Wanas [20:29] * Ajantis is a little dead... [20:30] i mean i am after the commotion starts [20:30] "How many have bows?" [20:30] everyone i hope.... [20:30] i can stealth [20:30] prolly all of them [20:30] corine you know you'd die REAL quick in there.. [20:30] They'll be too confused to shoot. [20:30] THats the plan anyway [20:31] bolt you going or staying? [20:31] "If we go to the center of the room, maybe they will shoot eachother." [20:31] Siln: "Or break out SWORDS?" [20:31] Ill be in the cener. How're you going to get to hte center, bolt? [20:31] they'll be goblins in the way [20:32] i shall attempt to hide in shadows.... and if they see me... wanas attack ok? [20:32] "I'll go in with you all. I can use some of the protections of Mishakal to aid us all." [20:32] once you're ready of course [20:32] Are we good to go? [20:32] yep [20:32] gimme the ring then I won't die hahaha [20:32] "I still don't think that this is the best course of action, though." [20:32] I don't think so Corine [20:32] there isn't MUCH choice... [20:32] "What exactly does the ring do?" [20:33] =oP [20:33] But its just so cool though Bolt....:) [20:33] Siln offers to let Wanas borrow some of her strength for the mission, but refuses to go herself saying she'll wait back in case anyone needs healing [20:33] What strength can you offer, Siln? [20:33] I'll wait as well ... [20:33] * Ajantis needs a little healing... [20:34] Siln: "My God allows me to let me lend mine in times of need...." [20:34] "What does the ring do?" [20:34] Siln goes over to Aj and fixes up a minor healing [20:34] I will accept it withy gratitude, Siln. I need all i can get. [20:34] I think it's invisablity ring Bolt [20:34] d8+1 [20:34] * Lilturtle throws the bones for Toymaker (d8+1) and gets 9. [20:34] yay,, full ehalth again [20:34] (if i could spell) [20:35] I'm at half-strength if you could heal me again Siln...or Bolt... [20:35] let's HOPE it's an invisibilityring [20:35] "Invisability wont help for long in there. Perhaps you could use the ring to scout ahead and see exactly what we are up against." [20:35] Well, ill start it up b4 i go in, Aj.So if it doesn't work, then i won't go in, ok? [20:36] yeah go then [20:36] Siln sadly says no, feeling the need to save her last healing for someone in dire need [20:36] We know what we're up against. 60 gobbos. Suprise will win the day for us, Bolt. [20:36] Bolt? [20:36] shall we be off then? [20:36] 3 arrows could reduce to me useless.... [20:36] Let us sally forth. [20:36] well, stay back Ghor. [20:36] GRAH! [20:36] * Ajantis draws both swords... [20:37] Never. [20:37] "I mean how many bows and any possible reserves they might be able to call upon. " [20:37] * Ghorig pulls out both axes [20:37] "we'll see i suppose [20:37] We'll deal with it as it comes. Doesn't the thought of battle jsut make your blood run hot, though? [20:37] * Bolt casts <> on Ghorig twice [20:37] * Ajantis is ready [20:37] 2d8 [20:37] * Lilturtle throws the bones for Bolt (2d8) and gets 10. [20:37] 12 for Ghorig [20:37] grah..thank you, Korkath [20:38] * Wanas sets off carefully towards the entrance [20:38] "Tis my pleasure. Just remember whose power you are enjoying there!" [20:38] Wanas: saying the words now or later? [20:38] when we get to the entrance to the passageway [20:39] when everyones gathered ready [20:39] * Ajantis attempt s to hide in shadows and move silently [20:39] (toy: 16% for both...) [20:39] * Ghorig frowns. "Yours, right?" [20:39] You travel down the left hand passage on to the goblins den, hitting the t intersection with the right hand side passage.... [20:39] (toy i do either?) [20:40] I believe so AJ [20:40] "I am just a conduit. The power comes from the great and good Mishakal of course. You should know that by now.) [20:40] So the big cavern is down that passageway? (i ask anyone who went there b4..) [20:40] Grah. [20:40] (onyl ghorig did) [20:40] (in case you've forgotten, yes) [20:40] Ghor? [20:40] (its been 2 weeks) [20:40] Ok, may the ancestors protect me. [20:41] yeah, be careful rounding that corner [20:41] Say the words [20:41] they were quick on teh draw... [20:41] put on the ring first, obviously... [20:41] (lol) [20:41] * Ajantis follows at a healthy distance from wanas [20:41] Am i invisible? [20:41] Everyone sees a strange sight. As Wanas says the magic words, he vanishes away from sight, though you can still here him clanking [20:42] hmmm [20:42] hmmm [20:42] uh oh [20:42] remove all clothing wanas [20:42] take your equipment off first [20:42] The sound of 60 goblins should mask that [20:42] uhhh mabye... [20:42] not my armour [20:42] grah, him stripped naked would make any creature flee [20:42] it makes the most noise [20:42] ill take everything not necessary [20:42] (lol) [20:42] (=oX) [20:42] just try that...you're on a suicide mission anyway [20:43] ill shove some padding. I need my armour.,.... [20:43] wanas, your armor is clanking [20:43] anyone have some padding? [20:43] * Ajantis has no "padding" [20:43] 60 goblins should mask some of the noise, ppl. [20:43] its not like they're silent [20:43] your choice... you life is at stake [20:44] Ahh, i feel so alive! [20:44] "Is there another way into that room?" [20:44] lol [20:44] Bolt: you are a stranger here, wouldn't know [20:44] probably... but we don't know it [20:44] * Wanas takes off everything except his armour. [20:45] DM: I've been in that room before, right? [20:45] Grah! i don't need to see this [20:45] he better nt turn visible [20:45] (lol) [20:45] Bolt: only to drag ghorigs bosy [20:45] body [20:45] *Closing eyes just incase the ring falls off or something* [20:45] * Wanas empties out his back pack and pouches, and stuffs them in the particullararly clanky joints [20:46] * Wanas wlaks around a bit more [20:46] am i making less noise? [20:46] Wanas is loosing some mobility, but the clanking is muffled [20:46] lol [20:46] a bit [20:46] mobility doesn't matter [20:46] ok, im quaffing the potion [20:46] waddle waddle waddle... [20:46] i still have my axe [20:47] * Ghorig drinks one of his other potions [20:47] You feel hyped like you just finished a 40 of coffee [20:47] * Ghorig offers a potion to Ajantis [20:47] i could imagine a semi naked dwarf in armour and holding an axe waddling around in a cave... [20:47] im going to proceed cautiously down the passaheway [20:47] "me says a prayer [20:47] * Ajantis says "no thanks" [20:47] * Bolt says a prayre of good fortune for Wanas [20:48] * Wanas approaches the goblins lair, wary if any of them notice him.. [20:48] * Ajantis cloaks himself in his cloak... (lol) [20:48] * Ajantis is following behind [20:49] You approah the lair, and get up to the strategic right turn that hides the lair from view [20:49] (me brb) [20:49] im going around the corner [20:49] carefully [20:49] "Grah! That potion!!" [20:49] "I feel...." [20:49] do the goblins react? [20:50] "...GOOOOOOD." [20:50] You see about 15 geebos points there bows at the corner. The room appears to have about 30 in it, the other 15 doing soldier things on the floor. None react [20:50] * Ajantis got lunch on.... [20:50] im going to slowly enter the room, keeping the clanking to a minimum [20:50] The room is a bit noisy as they talk, yell and argue in the strange, squeeky tongue called goblin [20:50] (brb 5-10 mins) [20:51] make my actions pls toy... ta [20:51] i keep away from any gobilins, sticking to the walls [20:51] You circle around the room and the wall of archers and notice stone "rungs" in the wall that lead upwards [20:51] Are there any otehr entrances? [20:52] Atop these rungs exists a hole in the ceiling [20:52] Is teh way clear of goblins between me and the rungs? are there any gobbos near it? [20:53] No one is guarding it in particular, you can get to it [20:53] Im going to slink around to the rungs, carefully climb up and peak into the room above. [20:54] You start to climb the rungs but your armored body is having trouble doing it and staying quiet [20:54] do any of the gobbos notice> [20:55] Nope [20:55] back now [20:55] i slow down so the clanking is to a minimum. Carfully so i can just see into the top room. If any of teh gobbos look curious i freeze. [20:55] One of them appears to be angry or something and is yelling [20:56] where, in teh bottom room? [20:56] Yes [20:56] You are climbing and carefully are placed 1/2 way up when this happens [20:56] keep an eye on it, but i want to see how many are in teh top room. [20:57] (cut the ropes and attack) [20:57] (oh ignore me) [20:57] Aj, whatare you doing? [20:57] * Ajantis is still waiting at the entrance.... [20:57] You climb up another rung but are so round its hard to be quiet [20:57] just wait Aj [20:57] (lol) [20:58] You ain't invisible, boy! [20:58] The angry goblin walks towards the rungs but another one gets in his way and yells back at him [20:58] (and you can't talk to him, wanas!)_ [20:58] Am i getting near the top? [20:58] * Ajantis is awaiting the large commotion that was "promised" by wanas... [20:58] A little more than 1/2 way [20:58] * Wanas is working on it [20:59] Its tough, the rungs are goblin made [20:59] Is the arguement going to increase the nosie level to coever my clanking? [20:59] Im going to climb the rungs faster [20:59] Arguements usually get worse before getting better.... [21:00] You poke your head out the topd and see long passages, but no one around [21:00] Ok, whats happening below? are they heading owards the rungs? [21:00] The arguement is heated, but it seems whoever confronted the angry goblin is tougher or higher ranked and the angry one is backing down [21:00] (drop and atttack :) [21:01] Are they close to the bottom of the ladder? [21:01] I take note of the higher ranked one...he might be a good target [21:01] Not really, but a huge dwarf in full armor crashing s loud I hear [21:02] might draw them to the spot [21:02] i have no intention of dropping...i start to climb down slowly again [21:02] (awww) [21:02] (you'd bounce) [21:03] You stutter down the steps and a bit loud and some turn to look [21:03] i freeze [21:04] how far up am i? [21:04] One Geebo in the archers yells something out and most of the Goblins laugh and the ranking geebo walks over to one of the guys on the floor and kicks him a little [21:04] Your on the bottem rung [21:05] i step off lightly. [21:05] Where did that high ranked gobbo go? [21:05] (yeah right... lightly) [21:05] Kicking a guy close to you for making all that racket [21:05] how many gobbos in that group? [21:06] only the two [21:07] So there are 13 in the middle, not prepared to fight(ie doing soemthing else) and 15 archers with bow pointed at teh door? [21:07] Yes that is it. A few in the middle are engaged in cards are watching the beating [21:08] * Corine sits down back in the funnel room and starts chatting with Slin [21:08] Ok, i make my way round the edge of the room to the archers [21:08] SIln talks to her, but is subconsiously rude at times, though she seems be trying to be polite [21:09] Wanas tiptoes over to the other side of the room [21:09] Are teh archers in a big group? All lined up ready for an axing? [21:09] Siln sounds worried about Tyrion and Wanas and looks a bit physically distressed [21:10] Wanas: 8-4-2 [21:10] in rows [21:10] ready for axing [21:10] lol [21:10] * Corine tries her best to comfort Slin in her words [21:10] ('ll take the firsdt row) [21:10] What are the other gobbos all armed with? bows? [21:10] the ones playing cards [21:11] yes they have bows on the floor and swords in sheaths [21:12] I think ill pick the ones in he middle, then the bowed ones will turn around, and you guys can take them from behind (he thinks to himslef).... [21:12] * Corine jumps in shock as she sees 10 goblins jump out from behind [21:12] (can't do that) [21:12] * Ajantis is waiting patiently.... [21:12] * Wanas moves over and takes a position ready to attack the card playing gobbos [21:13] Wanas has his targets lined for [21:13] a killing [21:13] (from behind where corine?? ) [21:13] * Corine tries to scream to alert the others [21:13] corine is back with Siln [21:13] * Wanas yells 'Buggggerrrrrr!!!!!!!! and attacks with a huge chop [21:13] * Ajantis hears and runs back down the tunnel [21:13] * Bolt casts <> on himself and again on Ghorig. [21:14] Wanas: Roll 3 attacks plz [21:14] * Ghorig charges! [21:14] * Bolt charges [21:14] * Corine cast <> [21:14] 3 d20 [21:14] * Lilturtle throws the bones for Wanas (3 d20) and gets 5 19 5.

He is now visable and the rest look in shock as they have never seen such a thing before [21:15] DM: Does anyone hear my scream? [21:15] Or a Dwarf move so fast [21:15] Corine: AJ did [21:16] C'mon you green eyed gromits!!! [21:16] * Ajantis is getting to the room where corine is [21:16] Corine casts sleep quickly just as bowfire is about to hail down and 6 of the ten fall asleep [21:17] * Bolt rushes the nearest one. One with a bow if possible. [21:17] am i in that room yet? [21:17] Ghorig: You bust in, moving faster than you ever had. Only 1/2 of the archers have the wits to fire at you and all are a bit distracted [21:17] AJ: almost [21:18] both axes, let's rock [21:18] * Ghorig BELLOWS in RAGE!!! [21:18] * Ghorig ATTACKS!
