[00:59] moritheil: hey, you just missed it
[01:00] moritheil: I hope it was enjoyable.
[01:00] Nune: Not as enjoyable as it would of been playing Flay =(
[01:01] moritheil: Ah :P Well, I thank you for your confidence.
[01:01] moritheil: I can give you an amusing summary, if you want.
[01:01] Nune: Haha, I was just going to ask =)
[01:02] moritheil: The characters saw a wounded girl who looked to be from a noble family stagger into town.
[01:02] moritheil: Eavesdropping on the townspeoples' conversation, and attempting to help the girl, they learned that she was the daughter of a very wealthy noble who never failed to pay his debts in full.
[01:03] moritheil: She was also heard to be whimpering about her parents.
[01:03] moritheil: After talking to a local priest, they realized that strange things had been happening down the road she came from.
[01:03] moritheil: The road wound through a forest, and people had been disappearing of late.
[01:04] moritheil: The party was initially strung out, as the characters moved individually into the forest.
[01:04] moritheil: Two characters moved ahead of the rest - a monk and ranger who knew each other.
[01:04] moritheil: Unfortunately, their attempts at being stealthy while tracking the girl's steps backwards were ruined when the paladin yelled into the forest that they should all join up.
[01:05] Nune: (haha)
[01:06] moritheil: An arrow announced the presence of enemies. While they looked for the hidden archer, an earth elemental appeared on the road.
[01:07] moritheil: The paladin bravely stood and meleed with the earth elemental, toe to toe for essentially the entire fight.
[01:07] moritheil: All three of the party members with bows quickly realized that they didn't want to risk firing into the melee.
[01:08] moritheil: The monk charged back up the road to meet this threat, first failing to trip the earth elemental.
[01:08] moritheil: Changing tactics, he (rolling a 20) jumped on its arm and began kicking it in the face.
[01:09] moritheil: Obviously the elemental was not going to stand for this, and (rolling a 19) promptly sent the monk to the fabled Land of Negative Hit Points, dispatching him with a single blow.
[01:10] moritheil: Meanwhile, the other party members had all moved off the road to find and destroy the archer or archers, which they did.
[01:11] moritheil: Deciding to start attacking rather than taking full defense every round, the paladin started swinging her spear - and promptly hit the druid for ten damage, sending him into Negative Hit Point Land as well.
[01:15] moritheil: In the end, the elemental only fell through the dumping of every last offensive spell the wizard had, as well being surrounded and beset with melee and point-blank shots.
 

[01:25] moritheil: FYI, the characters gained 214 exp each.   I actually might give them a little more as there was substantial RP, but 214 is my official ruling at this point.

[01:29] moritheil: Anyhow, we won't lack for ways to introduce you to the rest, as there are dozens from where I'm looking at it.
[01:29] Nune: I'm sure the possibilities would be endless
