Session Start (moritheil:flaysession): Sun Apr 24 20:03:47 2005

[20:13] moritheil: OOC Okay, if we can get another person to show up, I'm willing to push on a bit, but only if everyone here feels it's fair.

[20:17] Rendan: ooc im hoping Damien arrives here soon we need him most

[20:17] *** Matje Moonhollow has joined the chat.

[20:17] Aerlene: ooc: yay! :)

[20:17] Terenar: ooc Ditto.

[20:17] Matje Moonhollow: ooc cooking, almost set the house on fire

[20:17] moritheil: ooc Damien will not come for an hour or so at least.

[20:17] Terenar: ooc Ack!

[20:17] Terenar: ooc Yeah, I forgot....

[20:17] moritheil: ooc He has serious RL duties, as some of you are no doubt aware.

[20:31] moritheil: OOC Hm, incidentally, it occurred to me that I'm not sure if I'm more Monty Haul DM or Killer DM.

[20:32] moritheil: OOC I mean, in Flay, I'm much more of the latter.

[20:32] moritheil: OOC But I think it's possible to be both.

[20:33] Aerlene: ooc: it is, and it tends to balance itself out

[20:37] Matje Moonhollow: ooc so whats up for tonizzle?

[20:38] moritheil: The party has come to the Lair of Shadows.

[20:40] Rendan: "Well this is it"

[20:40] Terenar: oox Todavia estoy hablando con mi madre.

[20:41] moritheil: After some initial exploratory scouting, Damien returns to the party. "It looks all clear down there," he reports. "I did not venture too far ahead. We may want torches."

[20:41] Rendan: "Does anyone have a torch?"

[20:41] Aerlene: Aerlene glances round.

[20:41] Terenar: Terenar gets one from his pack.

[20:42] Matje Moonhollow: Matje nods, pulling flint and tackle from his belt pouch, and a torch from his pack.

[20:43] Rendan: " Matje, can you keep gaurd on Damien?

[20:43] Rendan: "

[20:43] moritheil: Damien blinks, turning to look at Rendan. "Excuse me?"

[20:44] Rendan: :tunrs to Damien:"We need you crucially for this mission, i can't risk you dying"

[20:44] Matje Moonhollow: "I am no guard, Rendan. But I will keep an eye on his condition."

[20:44] moritheil: "Ah, right, of course." The sun elf nods. "My thanks."

[20:44] Rendan: "Thank you Matje"

[20:44] Aerlene: Aerlene looks amused at that exchange.

[20:44] Rendan: :nods to Damien:

[20:45] Rendan: "let's go"

[20:45] Terenar: Terenar nods as well and sets off.

[20:45] Matje Moonhollow: ooc Yor's club, is it 1 hand or two?:P

[20:45] Rendan: :PUlls out Mace and Shield:

[20:45] moritheil: OOC 1 handed, I'm pretty sure.

[20:46] Terenar: Terenar pulls out his bow.

[20:46] Terenar: Holding it in one hand.

[20:46] Matje Moonhollow: Matje lights the torch and then hands it to the large barbarian.

[20:46] moritheil: Sniffing at the torch, Yor makes a face, but he holds it.

[20:46] Matje Moonhollow: Matje nods and draws his mace and longsword.

[20:47] Matje Moonhollow: ooc Don't eat it, Yor.

[20:47] Matje Moonhollow: ooc ;)

[20:47] Rendan: ooc LOL

[20:47] Aerlene: Aerlene follows Terenar, but doesn't catch up to him.

[20:48] Rendan: "Stay close guys, remember, this is a mission, i dont want anybody to die"

[20:48] Rendan: :heads into the dungeon:

[20:49] Matje Moonhollow: Matje takes up the rear guard, allowing Yor to walk in front of him.

[20:50] moritheil: Damien attempts to stay at the front of the line.

[20:50] Rendan: :stays close to Damien:L

[20:51] Terenar: Terenar follows Rendan.

[20:51] Terenar: At a distance.

[20:51] moritheil: You carefully descend the jagged-edged stairs into a stone cave. Though the initial mouth is only large enough for one of you to walk through at a time, the cave itself is surprisingly large.

[20:51] moritheil: "The walls may have been widened through artifical means," notes Damien.

[20:52] Terenar: ooc Still talking to the family.

[20:55] Matje Moonhollow: ooc can we hear anything within the cavern?

[20:55] moritheil: Strange reliefs of serpentine figures adorn the walls.

[20:55] moritheil: OOC Listen check.

[20:55] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 15+3[18]

[20:56] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:6,+3Total:9

[20:56] Aerlene: (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Aerlene#160014)listen [22]

[20:57] Terenar: [11] (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160015)http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160015

[20:57] moritheil: Aerlene, you think you might be able to hear the distant drip of running water.

[20:57] moritheil: The rest of the party hears mostly the echoes of the adventurers' own movements.

[20:59] moritheil: You come to a closed portal at the end of the hallway. A stone archway with a solid stone slab prevents further movement.

[21:00] Terenar: Terenar looks at Damien. "Any traps?"

[21:01] moritheil: "I would recommend," the sun elf returns softly, "that the party withdraw to the other end of the hall."

[21:01] moritheil: He pulls out a few oddly shaped tools.

[21:01] Aerlene: Aerlene takes Damien's advice, and uses it as an opportunity to whisper something to Rendan.

[21:01] Terenar: Terenar takes his advice, motioning Yor back.

[21:01] Matje Moonhollow: ooc "Because," he adds. "I've seen a rogue do this once.."

[21:02] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves back as well, staying just inside the torchlight.

[21:02] moritheil: OOC Does seeing himself count? :P

[21:02] Matje Moonhollow: ooc only if he lives through it;)

[21:02] moritheil: Soon the party is gathered at the other end of the hall.

[21:03] moritheil: Damien examines the portal for a while, then the surrounding area.

[21:04] moritheil: Taking out a spare stone and some rope, he stands back, swinging and hitting a floor tile.

[21:04] moritheil: Very gingerly, he extracts a needle from the rope.

[21:04] moritheil: "That should do it," he remarks, coming back to the group. "I need a strong volunteer to do the rest," he says, pointing to a lever that has appeared in the wall.

[21:05] Matje Moonhollow: Matje nods at Yor, sheathing his longsword and extending a hand for the torch.

[21:05] moritheil: After a moment, Yor relinquishes the torch.

[21:08] Matje Moonhollow: ooc Yor still just standing there?

[21:08] Aerlene: Aerlene steps forward. "I'll do it," she says.

[21:09] moritheil: Yor's eyes widen in realization. Nodding, he steps forward.

[21:09] moritheil: OOC Yes, he was still standing there :) Int wasn't his primary stat.

[21:10] Matje Moonhollow: ooc snicker

[21:10] moritheil: Crossing the hallway, he puts down his club and braces himself, both hands on the lever.

[21:10] Matje Moonhollow: "Someone should cover the door, but not too close." Matje moves near Yor to cover him as he works the lever.

[21:11] moritheil: With a mighty tug, he manages to move the lever - but only halfway. The stone door rises halfway up the arch with a dull clanking sound.

[21:11] moritheil: He strains at the lever, but does not appear to be moving any more.

[21:11] Aerlene: "Can I help?" Aerlene offers.

[21:12] moritheil: Looking somewhat embarrassed, Yor shuffles aside to make room for another character to help him pull.

[21:12] Rendan: :watches around for nething that could threaten us:

[21:12] Aerlene: She walks to Yor and tries to help.

[21:12] moritheil: Those who are watching, make Spot checks.

[21:12] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:20,+3Total:23

[21:13] Matje Moonhollow: ooc i hope Aerlene has moved in front of me for this roll...

[21:13] Matje Moonhollow: ooc cuz nothing else explains it.

[21:13] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 1+5 = [6]

[21:13] Terenar: [9] (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160015)http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160015

[21:15] moritheil: Rendan, you happen to glance behind the group and are alarmed to notice a number of skeletons marching in through the mouth of the cave.

[21:17] Rendan: "evryone, skeletons!There!":points to the skeletons:

[21:17] moritheil: OOC Initiatives.

[21:17] Rendan: ooc do i happen to know how many there are?

[21:17] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+1:18,+1Total:19

[21:17] moritheil: There are perhaps a half dozen in the mouth itself; you have no idea how many more there are beyond that, if any.

[21:17] Terenar: [7] (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160018)http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160018

[21:18] Matje Moonhollow: ooc i think we're in trouble.

[21:18] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 1+3 = [4]

[21:18] Terenar: ooc Turn them!

[21:18] Matje Moonhollow: ooc thats two 1s in a row:(

[21:18] moritheil: OOC At least it's not an attack "1."

[21:18] Aerlene: Initiative (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Aerlene#160019)[18]

[21:19] Aerlene: [17] Initiative, sorry

[21:19] moritheil: OOC 17 initiative for the Skeletons.

[21:20] moritheil: OOC Aerlene probably has more dex.

[21:20] Aerlene: ooc: currently +0 adj

[21:22] moritheil: OOC Morena: 20 Yor: 16 Camthalion 6

[21:22] Aerlene: ooc: sorry, +1, don't mind me

[21:22] Aerlene: ooc: and that is an 18

[21:23] moritheil: Initiative - Morena Rendan Aerlene Skeletons Yor Terenar Matje Camthalion

[21:23] moritheil: OOC Damien 18

[21:23] moritheil: Initiative - Morena Rendan Damien Aerlene Skeletons Yor Terenar Matje Camthalion

[21:24] moritheil: Morena steps forward, holy symbol held out. "Begone."

[21:25] moritheil: The skeletons back up against the wall, cringing, but appear to be unable to flee up the stairs.

[21:25] moritheil: Rendan.

[21:25] Rendan: :runs up to the skeletons, but stays away from them about 20', takes off my sign of St.Cuthbert and chants to Turn undead:"Back undead!Back to the grave You came!"

[21:25] Matje Moonhollow: ooc the double turn! does that in fact send them back towards us?:)

[21:25] moritheil: OOC You may notice that turning does nothing if the skeletons are already turned . . . so I'm not sure what you're accomplishing.

[21:26] moritheil: OOC Although

[21:26] moritheil: OOC You might be trying to destroy them outright. Roll turning check and damge.

[21:26] moritheil: OOC *damage.

[21:26] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+0:18,+0Total:18

[21:27] Rendan: ooc wuts the dmg for a turn again?

[21:27] moritheil: OOC For the record, the turning rules suck. AFK to remind myself how they work.

[21:27] *** Your previous message has not been sent. Reason: Maximum length (232) exceeded. You can recall the last message typed with Ctrl-Up or Up, depending on settings.

[21:27] moritheil: OOC The first thing you do is roll a turning check to see how powerful an undead creature you can turn. This is a Charisma check (1d20 + your Charisma modifier). Table: Turning Undead gives you the Hit Dice of the most powerful undead you can affect, relative to your level.

[21:27] moritheil: OOC The first thing you do is roll a turning check to see how powerful an undead creature you can turn. This is a Charisma check (1d20 + your Charisma modifier).

[21:27] moritheil: OOC (Link: http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/specialAttacks.html)http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/specialAttacks.html

[21:28] moritheil: OOC Your level + 2 is the result

[21:28] Rendan: ooc i have no cha mod

[21:28] Rendan: ooc ok

[21:28] Rendan: ooc so its 20 the result

[21:28] *** Your previous message has not been sent. Reason: Maximum length (232) exceeded. You can recall the last message typed with Ctrl-Up or Up, depending on settings.

[21:28] moritheil: OOC If your roll on Table: Turning Undead is high enough to let you turn at least some of the undead within 60 feet, roll 2d6 + your cleric level + your Charisma modifier for turning damage. That’s how many total Hit Dice of undead you can turn.

[21:28] moritheil: OOC No, 18 is the result, and the table on that page

[21:28] moritheil: OOC Means you can turn your level +2

[21:28] Rendan: oc o wait ya

[21:29] Rendan: ooc and dmg is 2d6+2+0 for me

[21:29] moritheil: OOC Roll 2d6 + your cleric level + your Charisma modifier for turning damage.

[21:29] Rendan: Roll(2d6)+2:4,5,+2Total:11

[21:29] moritheil: OOC Yes. That's the HD of turned skeletons.

[21:29] moritheil: There is some commotion on the stairs as some of the rear guard of skeletons flees.

[21:31] moritheil: Damien appears to draw his bow and wait, looking around for a target.

[21:31] moritheil: Aerlene.

[21:31] Aerlene: Aerlene readies an action to attack any skeleton that closes for combat with her.

[21:31] Aerlene: ooc: i'm not setting my spear - i'm not sure there's room, is there?

[21:31] moritheil: OOC I will remind you, Aerlene, that you're at the opposite end of the hallway from where the skeletons are.

[21:32] Aerlene: ooc: oh! in that case...

[21:32] moritheil: OOC And, they do not seem predisposed to approaching Morena or Rendan at the moment.

[21:32] Terenar: ooc Well, I finally finished talking with my mom and sisters.

[21:32] Aerlene: Aerlene moves forward 30ft and readies an action to attack any skeleton that closes for combat with her.

[21:33] moritheil: OOC Want to attack? The hall is only 25' long.

[21:33] *** Morena has left the chat.

[21:33] Aerlene: ooc: i'm really not doing so well today

[21:33] moritheil: OOC Sorry, I should explain that you're all in a 25' by 10' rectangle.

[21:33] *** Morena has been invited to the group chat.

[21:33] Aerlene: ooc: no, my original action stands, i'm afraid

[21:34] moritheil: OOC Ok.

[21:34] moritheil: The skeletons remain cringing before the might of St Cuthbert and various unnamed Erruni patrons.

[21:35] moritheil: With a mighty roar, Yor charges at the skeletons, not bothering to pick up his club. Grabbing one, he smashes it into the wall, shattering one of its arms.

[21:35] moritheil: Terenar.

[21:37] Terenar: ooc Sorry, thought I could slip AFK.

[21:37] moritheil: OOC Ah, but this is the new, Improved Initiative Flay. We catch AFKers flat-footed.

[21:37] Terenar: Terenar puts his bow away, grabs his spear, and tries to poke at a bone. [19]

[21:38] moritheil: OOC Terenar, have you ever actually hit anything with that spear before? I don't think you have :D

[21:38] Aerlene: ooc: uh oh

[21:38] moritheil: OOC Roll for damage.

[21:39] Terenar: ooc Nope, never used it before. I think that might take more actions than I have....and I used my standard melee attack bonuses.

[21:39] Terenar: [4] (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160027)http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Terenar#160027

[21:39] moritheil: OOC You were at the back of the room; hence you're in the front lines now.

[21:39] Terenar: ooc Thought so.

[21:39] moritheil: OOC Therefore you can 5' step and hit a skeleton.

[21:39] Terenar: ooc Okay then.

[21:40] moritheil: The skeleton looks confused as Terenar strikes a glancing blow on it - and then its hands crumble to dust, causing it to drop its weapon.

[21:40] Terenar: ooc The damage roll was 4.

[21:40] Terenar: ooc Sorry.

[21:40] Terenar: Terenar looks at his spear with even more respect.

[21:40] moritheil: Matje.

[21:41] *** Morena has been invited to the group chat.

[21:41] Matje Moonhollow: ooc I am in the rear of the group, right?

[21:41] moritheil: ooc Not sure which rear you mean, but yes.

[21:42] Matje Moonhollow: ooc ..i am closer to the door than the skellies,

[21:42] moritheil: Yes.

[21:42] moritheil: OOC Because you were covering the inner door earlier.

[21:42] Matje Moonhollow: ooc nogs

[21:43] *** Morena has been invited to the group chat.

[21:43] Matje Moonhollow: Matje sees the power and control the clerics have over the undead, so he tosses the torch near the entrance to the 1/2 opened door

[21:43] Matje Moonhollow: Drawing his longsword out, he moves to cover that doorway opening so the group is not sandwiched between foes.

[21:43] Matje Moonhollow: End turn

[21:43] *** Morena has joined the chat.

[21:43] Morena: OOC: Awesome.

[21:43] Matje Moonhollow: ooc wb Mor

[21:44] moritheil: Drawing a scimitar, Camthalion charges forward, landing a slash on a skeleton that separates half of its rib cage from it.

[21:44] moritheil: Morena.

[21:45] Morena: Using the crank on her crossbow, Morena draws back the crossbow string and fires a bolt at the skeleton Camthalion attacked.

[21:46] Morena: OOC: 7 not bothering with the damage ;)

[21:47] moritheil: The bolt shatters against the end of the wall.

[21:47] moritheil: Rendan.

[21:47] Rendan: ooc is there any visible skeletons i can see?

[21:47] Rendan: ooc like how many are left

[21:48] moritheil: OOC There are still the initial 6 skeletons that Morena turned, cringing against the wall.

[21:48] moritheil: OOC Well, five. One is in pieces.

[21:48] Rendan: ooc okey dokey

[21:49] Rendan: :runs up to one of the skeletons against the wall, raises my mace and hits it:

[21:49] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+5:12,+5Total:17

[21:49] moritheil: OOC Damage.

[21:49] Rendan: Roll(1d8)+2:6,+2Total:8

[21:49] Rendan: done

[21:49] moritheil: The skeleton shatters into a spray of bone dust.

[21:50] moritheil: Damien continues to peer about warily, bow drawn taut.

[21:50] moritheil: Aerlene.

[21:51] Aerlene: Aerlene comes forward for an attack [23]

[21:51] moritheil: OOC damage

[21:52] Aerlene: Damage (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Aerlene#160031)[7]

[21:53] moritheil: The spear punches through a hand, severing two skeletal fingers.

[21:53] moritheil: The skeletons begin to flee up the stairs.

[21:53] moritheil: OOC Anyone who's in melee who wants an AOO can take one.

[21:54] moritheil: OOC Roll attack and damage if so.

[21:54] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:14,+3Total:17

[21:54] Terenar: Terenar stabs at a fleeing skeleton. [14]

[21:54] Aerlene: Aerlene doesn't.

[21:54] Rendan: Roll(1d8)+2:7,+2Total:9

[21:54] Terenar: [8 damage if hits]

[21:56] moritheil: Terenar's spear goes through the spine of a fleeing skeleton, which falls to the floor in a rain of separate bones.

[21:56] moritheil: Rendan swings and misses.

[21:56] moritheil: Camthalion decapitates the skeleton opposite him as it flees.

[21:56] moritheil: It, too, falls lifeless.

[21:57] moritheil: The remaining three skeletons flee up the stairs.

[21:58] moritheil: Yor charges, howling, and grabs the last one by the legs, dragging it back into the hallway.

[21:58] Matje Moonhollow: ooc lol

[21:58] moritheil: Terenar.

[22:00] Terenar: Terenar follows up the steps to finish off the skeletons.

[22:00] Terenar: [20 attack, 1 damage]

[22:00] moritheil: OOC Yor is in your way, unfortunately. Would you like to hit the one he's holding?

[22:01] Terenar: ooc Sorry, I forgot the space was one wide. I'll do that, then.

[22:01] moritheil: Terenar lands a glancing blow on the skeleton that merely chips a bit of bone off.

[22:01] moritheil: Matje.

[22:02] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves to squat and peer into the doorway that is now 1/2way open.

[22:02] moritheil: Spot check.

[22:02] Matje Moonhollow: ooc i'll squat and spot, thank you.

[22:02] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 14+5 [19]

[22:02] moritheil: OOC I thought you were going to roll a 1 again. I had "you see pink elephants."

[22:02] Matje Moonhollow: ooc snicker

[22:03] Terenar: ooc That would have been great! Alas, such is a DM's fate.

[22:03] moritheil: Matje, you see movement down the hallway on the other side of the door.

[22:03] Aerlene: ooc: you did that to me in IN... i mistrust your elephants...

[22:03] Matje Moonhollow: ooc is there room enough on this side of the door to hide inside the doorway?

[22:03] moritheil: OOC Hide from what?

[22:04] Matje Moonhollow: ooc from whatever is moving:P

[22:04] moritheil: OOC Not really, no.

[22:04] moritheil: OOC Hadriel ran into Dumpster Elephants, not Pink Elephants.

[22:04] Aerlene: ooc: was that any better? or any less surreal? ;)

[22:04] moritheil: OOC It was a very trippy session, but these things happen when Demon Princes are afoot :(

[22:05] Matje Moonhollow: Matje picks up the torch and tosses it just within the doorway to the next hallway, then stands at full defensive stance.

[22:05] Matje Moonhollow: end turn

[22:05] moritheil: OOC Sure, if you want more exp . . .

[22:06] Matje Moonhollow: ooc btw, how big is the door?

[22:06] moritheil: Camthalion runs over to the skeleton held by Yor and shatters its skull with a deft stroke.

[22:07] moritheil: OOC Combat is ended, unless you folks are chasing down those skeletons.

[22:07] Aerlene: ooc: no chasing for me

[22:07] Morena: OOC: No chasing for me eithere.

[22:08] Terenar: Terenar will keep chasing them unless they escape all the way up the stairs, then return.

[22:08] moritheil: "Those things will be back in several minutes, won't they?" asks Damien.

[22:10] Rendan: "Highly doubtful"

[22:10] Matje Moonhollow: "There is movement down this hall. " Matje calls to the rest of the group.

[22:10] Rendan: :walks over to matje:"What kind of movement?"

[22:11] Matje Moonhollow: I shrug, moving cautiously to pick up the torch at the entrance to the next hall.

[22:12] Rendan: "Damien, can you come over here and check if it's a trap would you?"

[22:12] moritheil: "I checked; that door should have no more traps."

[22:13] Rendan: "Must be enemy's then"

[22:13] Rendan: Or even more undead for that matter"

[22:14] Morena: "More smelly undue" *wrinkles nose* "Eww..."

[22:14] Morena: OOC: Undead rather =P

[22:15] Matje Moonhollow: Matje calls back, and then whistles, for Yor to move up to the doorway.

[22:16] moritheil: Yor puts both hands on the lever, and waits for someone else to give him a hand.

[22:16] Terenar: Terenar returns to the group, having caught no fleeing skeletons. "Any idea what's beyond the door?"

[22:16] Terenar: "More skeletons?"

[22:16] Rendan: "no idea"

[22:16] Rendan: "We have to check it out"

[22:16] Aerlene: Aerlene helps Yor again.

[22:16] Rendan: "Me and someone else"

[22:17] Terenar: Terenar nods, not volunteering himself.

[22:17] moritheil: Between the two fighter-types, the lever is moved and the door moves all the way up.

[22:17] Aerlene: ooc: does it stay in position?

[22:18] moritheil: A chilling sight awaits the party. At the end of the inside hall, a rotting figure in tattered robes stands chained to the opposite wall.

[22:18] moritheil: OOC Yes

[22:18] Morena: Eww...

[22:18] Rendan: "ugh, what... what is that?"

[22:18] Aerlene: Aerlene shudders.

[22:19] Terenar: Terenar shudders as well. "Na harya sére ..."

[22:20] Rendan: "Damien, come here, i want you to check this hideus robed figure out for anything"

[22:20] Rendan: "ill go with you"

[22:20] Matje Moonhollow: ooc yes, lets feed the rogue to the chained thing

[22:20] moritheil: Damien grimaces but nods.

[22:20] Rendan: ooc not on my watch

[22:20] Terenar: "Should we wedge the door open? Any chance we could be shut in?"

[22:21] moritheil: As soon as the two of you set foot across the doorway into the next hall, the figure opens its eyes.

[22:21] Rendan: "AHH!!"

[22:21] Aerlene: Aerlene gasps in shock.

[22:21] Matje Moonhollow: ooc how wide is the next hallway?

[22:21] Morena: OOC: Figures ;)

[22:21] moritheil: OOC The next hallway is like this one.

[22:21] Terenar: "Mana ulunde sina?" Terenar gasps as well.

[22:22] Morena: Morena visibly recoils.

[22:22] Matje Moonhollow: 10x25?

[22:22] moritheil: 10wide x25long

[22:22] moritheil: Listen checks.

[22:23] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:5,+3Total:8

[22:23] Aerlene: Listen (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Aerlene#160035)[6]

[22:23] Terenar: [7]

[22:24] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 12+3 15

[22:24] Morena: OOC: 21.

[22:24] Matje Moonhollow: ooc since we're still inf ree action mode..

[22:24] moritheil: A faint voice says, "turn back . . . turn back . . ." Matje and Morena hear it.

[22:24] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves into the hallway, beside Rendan.

[22:25] Morena: "He says, "Turn back."

[22:25] Rendan: "or else what?"

[22:25] Rendan: "A trap?"

[22:25] moritheil: Damien stands still, trying to decide between approaching closer and bolting back the way he came.

[22:25] Morena: *shrug* "How should I know?"

[22:25] Rendan: "hpw did u even know what it said?"

[22:26] Terenar: "Who said what?"

[22:26] moritheil: A soft whisper comes. "Death . . . "

[22:26] Aerlene: Aerlene looks confused.

[22:26] Rendan: "OK im out of this room"

[22:26] Rendan: :grabs damien and pulls him out of the room:

[22:26] Rendan: "come matje"

[22:26] Terenar: Terenar takes a spare torch out of his pack, looks at it, and puts it back.

[22:27] moritheil: As you turn away from the figure, the clanking sound returns. The door is closing!

[22:27] Rendan: :runs out, pulliung damien as fast as i can:

[22:27] Aerlene: Aerlene grabs for the lever and tries to hold it in place.

[22:27] Matje Moonhollow: Matje nods, withdrawing but not turning his back on the thing.

[22:27] Terenar: Terenar grabs the lever and hangs on as well.

[22:27] Morena: I run out of the room.

[22:28] moritheil: Morena, you're still in the first room.

[22:28] moritheil: Initiative rolls to determine who gets through the door.

[22:28] Morena: I see if there's anything I can do to help.

[22:28] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+1:20,+1Total:21

[22:29] Rendan: ooc thank god a high roll

[22:29] moritheil: OOC Door rolls 18

[22:29] Terenar: ooc How about hang on to the lever with us?

[22:29] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 11 +3 14

[22:29] Morena: OOC: But then I would have to come close to you ;)

[22:29] moritheil: OOC Damien rolls 16.

[22:29] Morena: OOC: Oh dear god...

[22:30] Terenar: ooc Elves aren't poisonous! And they don't bite, either. :)

[22:30] moritheil: Though the cleric makes it back through, Damien and Matje are a hair too slow to make it before the door slams down.

[22:31] Rendan: "DAMIEN!! MATJE!!!":bangs on the door severaly:

[22:31] Terenar: Terenar looks about, shocked. "Yor! Get your butt over here and pull this lever!"

[22:31] moritheil: Yor is there, hands on the lever, but it's no use. The lever itself never actually moved.

[22:31] Aerlene: Aerlene lets go of the lever and looks frantically about.

[22:31] Rendan: "great"

[22:31] Rendan: "o grand cuthbert,please assist them"

[22:32] Terenar: Terenar just looks around in shock. "I guess I'll look for other ways to open the door....."

[22:32] Rendan: "Damien!!! can you hear me!!!??"

[22:32] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves away from the closed door, looking for any nearby wall/torch sconces to light.

[22:32] Terenar: [Search 15] - crap!

[22:33] Morena: Morena guess she should help out and helps search for any hidden switches,

[22:33] Morena: OOC: Search: 16

[22:33] *** Matje Moonhollow has left the chat.

[22:33] moritheil: There is no response from the door.

[22:33] Rendan: "Aw great"

[22:34] Rendan: "o please Cuthbert let them not be dead!!"

[22:34] Rendan: :kneels down and bangs the ground:"..... this is all my fault"

[22:35] Rendan: :gets up:

[22:35] Rendan: "Has anyone found a way to open the door yet?"

[22:36] Terenar: Terenar sighs, having found nothing. "It's my fault too - I didn't find anything to wedge the door open with."

[22:36] Rendan: :kicks the door:"dammit......."

[22:36] moritheil: Camthalion looks around the room, saying nothing.

[22:37] Rendan: :goes about searching for anything that could lead to open the door:

[22:37] Terenar: Terenar looks around at Aerlene and Camthalion. "Why don't you two look too? "

[22:37] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:13,+3Total:16 search

[22:37] Aerlene: ooc: i did already :(

[22:38] Terenar: ooc Low Search check? :(

[22:38] Morena: OOC: I did already as well.

[22:38] Terenar: ooc You weren't included in the complaint. :)

[22:38] Aerlene: ooc: worthless :(

[22:40] Terenar: Terenar groans in frustration. "I'm searching every single nook, cranny, niche, and protrusion in this room, I don't care how long it takes."

[22:40] Terenar: ooc Taking 20 on Search, gives me 26, but it's going to take quite a while. :(

[22:40] Aerlene: "I'll help."

[22:40] moritheil: Morena, while others are searching, you notice movement from the stairwell.

[22:41] Terenar: Terenar nods and starts a systematic investigation of the wall to the door's left.

[22:41] Morena: "Guys I see something moving here!"

[22:41] Aerlene: Aerlene looks in the direction Morena indicates.

[22:41] Terenar: Terenar raises his head and glances at the stairwell.

[22:41] Rendan: :runs over to morena:

[22:41] Rendan: "what do you see?"

[22:42] moritheil: Shuffling with the unnatural gait that only the undead possess, a line of skeletons starts coming down the stairwell.

[22:42] Rendan: "aww great"

[22:43] Rendan: "you guys keep searching, im going to take my anger out on these guys"

[22:43] Rendan: :faces the skeletons:

[22:43] moritheil: Spot check, btw, Rendan.

[22:43] Terenar: "Not again. I should have chased them all the way out - remember to yell if you need help, Rendan." Terenar goes back to searching the wall.

[22:43] Aerlene: ooc: how many is in a line?

[22:43] moritheil: OOC Also, who else is going to fight the skeletons, and who is searching?

[22:43] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:13,+3Total:16

[22:44] Terenar: ooc I have a feeling that's what Rendan is going to find out - it's a little hard to tell with the whole single file line thing that I forgot to my embarrassment.

[22:44] Aerlene: Aerlene looks apologetically at Terenar, glances once at the closed door regretfully, then joins Rendan for the fight.

[22:44] Morena: OOC: I back up, with my hand on my holy symbol, ready to turn them.

[22:44] Rendan: :whispers to aerlene:"thanks"

[22:45] moritheil: Yor comes over to stand by the other side of the human cleric.

[22:45] moritheil: Camthalion continues to search.

[22:45] Terenar: Terenar nods and pokes Faelwen's butt into another small indentation in the wall.

[22:45] Rendan: "Terenar! keep searching, we'll buy you time"

[22:46] Rendan: :charges at the line of skeletons, and when i egt up to the first one, i smack it with my mace:

[22:46] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:16,+3Total:19

[22:46] moritheil: Rendan, as you close for combat, you have the realization that these skeletons seem . . . larger than the previous ones.

[22:46] Aerlene: ooc: oh no :(

[22:46] Rendan: ooc larger?

[22:46] Morena: OOC: ruh roh

[22:47] Rendan: ooc im still chraging the first one

[22:47] moritheil: OOC Roll damage.

[22:47] Rendan: ooc and its a 21, forgot the +2 to charge

[22:47] Rendan: Roll(1d8)+2:5,+2Total:7\par[22:47] moritheil: OOC I saw.

[22:47] moritheil: Rendan's mace impacts the lead skeleton with a satisfying crunch.

[22:48] *** Damien has joined the chat.

[22:48] moritheil: OOC Ah, welcome.

[22:48] moritheil: OOC You actually want the other room, Damien.

[22:49] Damien: I just answered an invite sorry

[22:49] *** Damien has left the chat.

[22:49] Terenar: ooc If Terenar's not needed for a while, I'm going afk for five or so. More food.

[22:49] Aerlene: Aerlene moves forward to attack.

[22:51] moritheil: OOC Resolving initiative.

[22:51] Morena: OOC: w00t, awesome :)

[22:51] moritheil: Morena.

[22:52] Morena: Holding her holy symbol, she summons the power of her gods to assist her.

[22:52] Morena: OOC: Turn, Oh dear god, 1+3, 4.

[22:52] moritheil: OOC You can turn nothing.

[22:53] moritheil: OOC You only have two levels :P

[22:53] moritheil: Rendan.

[22:53] Rendan: :Raises mace again, and brings it down on the skeleton once more:

[22:53] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:5,+3Total:8

[22:54] Morena: OOC: Her gods say, "OMGWTF was that?! U r n00b ;)

[22:54] Rendan: ooc thanks for being a team player

[22:55] moritheil: OOC Incidentally, I should note that these skeletons are four-legged, and do not bear weapons.

[22:55] moritheil: OOC They are also, as noted above, large.

[22:55] Morena: OOC: Joy oh joy.

[22:55] Morena: OOC: I tried, I tried :(

[22:55] Terenar: ooc Back. Oh, the sheer joy of it.

[22:55] moritheil: Rendan misses.

[22:56] moritheil: Aerlene.

[22:56] Aerlene: Aerlene stabs at a skeleton.

[22:56] Aerlene: Attack (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Aerlene#160037)[21]

[22:56] Aerlene: Damage (Link: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Aerlene#160038)[7]

[22:57] moritheil: Aerlene's spear gouges a small furrow in one skeleton's arm.

[22:57] Aerlene: ooc: done

[22:58] moritheil: The skeleton opposite her retaliates by swiping its paws and biting at her.

[22:58] moritheil: OOC Is your AC higher than 22?

[22:58] Aerlene: ooc: uh, no :(

[22:58] moritheil: OOC Uhoh.

[22:58] Morena: OOC: wow, these guys have reach...

[22:58] moritheil: OOC She's not using a reach spear.

[22:59] Morena: OOC: oh ;)

[22:59] moritheil: OOC Aside from which, this is the skeleton turn.

[22:59] Morena: OOC: Ah okay, my bad :(

[23:01] moritheil: OOC Uh, 18 damage. Bite missed.

[23:01] Rendan: ooc were dead

[23:01] Terenar: ooc What's Yor up to?

[23:01] Aerlene: Aerlene collapses from the severity of her wounds.

[23:01] moritheil: OOC He's last in initiative.

[23:01] Terenar: ooc By the way, you do have one party member who's not in melee...

[23:02] moritheil: OOC Camthalion is searching since he figured Terenar needed help.

[23:02] moritheil: OOC Did I miss someone?

[23:04] moritheil: Yor raises his club high, and moves to aid Rendan. (AC 2 bonus for Rendan)

[23:04] moritheil: Morena.

[23:04] Terenar: ooc What's the ceiling in here?

[23:05] moritheil: OOC Pretty high, actually.

[23:05] Morena: OOC: I can turn them again, right?

[23:06] Rendan: ooc as long as u have enuff turns per day

[23:06] moritheil: OOC You can try again. You have 3+ Cha mod attempts per day and you've tried twice so far.

[23:06] Terenar: ooc 15-20?

[23:06] Terenar: ooc Feet high.

[23:06] Morena: OOC: These dice are cursed =P

[23:06] Morena: OOC: 8.

[23:06] moritheil: OOC Something like 20' high or thereabouts.

[23:07] Terenar: ooc Good

[23:08] moritheil: OOC I don't think that entitles you to turn anything, does it Morena?

[23:08] Morena: OOC: level 1 creatures ;)

[23:08] Morena: OOC: Fear it!

[23:09] moritheil: Rendan.

[23:09] moritheil: OOC Btw, people can take knowledge (religion) checks to identify this sucker.

[23:09] Rendan: :Rendan swings again at the skeleton in front of him, making his swing go vertically:

[23:09] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:19,+3Total:22

[23:09] moritheil: The skeleton is unimipressed by Morena's holy symbol.

[23:10] moritheil: OOC Roll damage, Rendan.

[23:10] Rendan: Roll(1d8)+2:8,+2Total:10

[23:12] Terenar: ooc How about someone speak up and tell the two searchers that you're having a bit more trouble than anticipated?

[23:12] Terenar: ooc Terenar is not the most perceptive elf in the kingdom of Antric, you know.

[23:13] moritheil: Camthalion looks over, eyes widening at seeing the crumpled form of Aerlene. Shouting, he shakes Terenar's shoulder.

[23:13] moritheil: Rendan's mace strikes true, breaking bone.

[23:13] moritheil: OOC Btw, the situation is such: One skeleton is in the doorway with another large one behind it. Only one is actually in the room.

[23:13] moritheil: OOC Sorry for any earlier confusion.

[23:14] Terenar: Terenar turns around, shocked. "Rendan! Morena! Somebody take care of her!" He then glances at the ceiling, the barbarian, and reaches for his scroll.

[23:14] Terenar: ooc Well, I should say Yor, forgive me the metagaming. :(

[23:14] moritheil: OOC It's not terribly hard to realize this fellow is a barbarian of some sort :P

[23:14] Terenar: ooc He's certainly barbaric enough. :P

[23:15] Rendan: ooc mori wut size arethe skeletons again?

[23:15] moritheil: OOC Large.

[23:15] Terenar: ooc So Skeleton #1 is in the room, Skeleton #2 is in the doorway, and Skeleton #3 is waiting up the stairs? And Large, I think.

[23:15] moritheil: OOC Yes, Terenar.

[23:16] moritheil: OOC As a point of fact you only see skeletons 1 and 2.

[23:16] moritheil: OOC However, it looks like the line you saw earlier.

[23:16] Terenar: ooc Two are bad enough.

[23:17] moritheil: Aerlene.

[23:18] moritheil: Aerlene continues to bleed in dramatic fashion from the gashes along her side.

[23:18] moritheil: OOC Still no takers on the Knowlege (religion) roll?

[23:18] Terenar: ooc Terenar doesn't have it. Cleric patrol?

[23:18] Rendan: ooc no ranks sorry

[23:18] moritheil: OOC I thought one of the two clerics would have it . . .

[23:18] moritheil: OOC Hm, I guess you guys get shafted without the Keel cleric present. :(

[23:18] Terenar: ooc *bangs head* At this point I'm willing to try Knowledge (Arcana) at whatever high penalty.

[23:19] Morena: OOC: Morena never paid attention

[23:19] moritheil: OOC Try that, Terenar.

[23:19] Terenar: ooc Crap, 9.

[23:19] moritheil: OOC The skeletons were made from the remains of . . . something large.

[23:20] moritheil: The skeleton attacks Rendan in a fury of slashing claws and snapping teeth.

[23:20] Terenar: ooc So...they're big, and they're nasty.

[23:20] moritheil: Amazingly, not a single blow lands.

[23:21] moritheil: OOC Also known as "rolling a 3."

[23:21] moritheil: Yor continues to aid Rendan.

[23:21] Morena: OOC: w00t!

[23:21] moritheil: Morena.

[23:21] Morena: OOC: One more time with feeling.

[23:22] Morena: OOC: Son of a!

[23:22] Morena: OOC: 5.

[23:22] moritheil: The skeleton continues to ignore the Erruni symbol.

[23:22] moritheil: Rendan.

[23:22] Terenar: Terenar yells, "Can't you make them run away or something like you did before?!"

[23:23] Rendan: :raises mace over my head, chants the smite power ability, then hits the skeleton:"o grand protector, lend me your strentgh for one blow!!"

[23:23] Morena: "I'm trying!!!" Morena's eyes start to water.

[23:23] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+7:13,+7Total:20

[23:23] Rendan: Roll(1d8)+4:8,+4Total:12

[23:26] moritheil: The cleric's blow crushes a limb on the beast, which appears to teeter precariously.

[23:26] Rendan: done

[23:27] moritheil: Seeing the beast falter, Yor smashes it with his club. The thing topples over, falling with a crash to the floor.

[23:27] moritheil: Terenar.

[23:27] Terenar: Terenar yells,

[23:27] Terenar: "Yor, block that doorway! Now!"

[23:28] Terenar: He then tries to cast a spell off his scroll, but the attempt fails. [UMD check 20]

[23:28] moritheil: Perhaps not hearing in time, not understanding, or simply preoccupied, Yor does not move.

[23:28] Terenar: (done)

[23:29] moritheil: Camthalion rushes over, interposing his body in the doorway.

[23:30] moritheil: Initiative - Morena Rendan Damien Aerlene Skeletons Yor Terenar Matje Camthalion

[23:30] moritheil: Morena.

[23:31] Morena: OOC: How critical is aerlene?

[23:31] Terenar: ooc Very, very.

[23:31] Morena: OOC: One more time.

[23:31] Terenar: ooc She's going to die without help bad.

[23:31] moritheil: She's very badly wounded and is clearly not going to make it without some kind of aid.

[23:32] moritheil: At this point, a clanking sound can be heard. The door is opening!

[23:32] Morena: OOC: Which door?

[23:32] Terenar: ooc There's only one.

[23:32] Terenar: ooc The door behind us.

[23:32] Morena: OOC: Ah I see.

[23:32] *** Damien has been invited to the group chat.

[23:32] *** Damien has joined the chat.

[23:32] *** Matje Moonhollow has been invited to the group chat.

[23:33] Morena: Giving up on the attempts to turn them, Morena tries to rush up and heal Aerlene.

[23:33] *** Matje Moonhollow has joined the chat.

[23:33] Terenar: ooc Looks like they didn't need our help....

[23:33] Morena: OOC: We were apparently the ones in need of help.

[23:33] moritheil: Roll the cure light wounds.

[23:33] Matje Moonhollow: Matje pulls the torch from the sconce and moves into the room on Damien's heels. He tosses it to the center of the room and draws his weapons again.

[23:33] Morena: OOC: 4.

[23:33] Morena: OOC: Okay, these dice are like so cut.

[23:33] moritheil: OOC that was the d8 + 2?

[23:34] moritheil: OOC Dang.

[23:34] Terenar: ooc Use an online roller today. Your dice....

[23:34] Terenar: ooc They hate you more than mine do today.

[23:34] Rendan: :puts shield over in front of me, back 5, then casts enlarge person on Yor:"O grand Cuthbert, grant my ally size to he may crush these evildoers!"

[23:34] moritheil: OOC Mwahahaha.

[23:35] moritheil: Yor grows in strength and size.

[23:35] Damien: ::readies to release my prepared spell::

[23:35] moritheil: Damien.

[23:35] Damien: OOC: what's the scene?

[23:35] Terenar: ooc Bloody chaos?

[23:36] moritheil: The opening chamber has skeleton bones strewn all over the side nearest the stairs that exit the cave.

[23:36] moritheil: Coming down the stairs is the skeleton of some large animal.

[23:36] Terenar: ooc Seriously, Camthalion is standing in the doorway in front of a Large skeleton with altogether too many limbs, Aerlene is bleeding heavily, Morena and Rendan and Yor are up there...

[23:36] Terenar: ooc Terenar's in the back looking at a scroll.

[23:36] moritheil: Morena bends over the bloodied form of the paladin; Rendan and Yor stand in the bones of another large skeleton, and Camthalion is holding the line.

[23:37] Damien: ::step into the room and move to the side of the doorway so that my back is to the wall and chant the words to magic missile...releasing it at the skeletal creature::

[23:37] moritheil: OOC damage

[23:38] Damien: 4+1 (5) Nice!!

[23:38] moritheil: Aerlene, though stable, continues to lie unmoving.

[23:38] moritheil: The skeleton in the doorway claws and snaps at Camthalion.

[23:39] moritheil: Moving swiftly, Camthalion manages to dodge the blows.

[23:39] moritheil: Yor waits patiently for Camthalion to back off so he can apply his newfound strength.

[23:39] moritheil: Terenar?

[23:41] Terenar: Terenar yells, "Camthalion! Back up a bit, let Yor and Matje attack it!" He then dashes over to Yor and touches his filthy rags, muttering some elvish words.

[23:41] Terenar: ooc Shield of Faith.

[23:41] moritheil: Matje.

[23:42] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves straight up to the stairs as close as he can so that when Cam moves and Yor moves up, he can also be in the front line.

[23:42] Matje Moonhollow: end in full defensive stance.

[23:42] moritheil: Camthalion backs up, withdrawing from the skeleton.

[23:42] Morena: Mutter a prayer again, Morena heals Aerlene again.

[23:43] Morena: OOC: 7.

[23:43] Morena: OOC: Thank you online roller =P

[23:43] moritheil: Aerlene's wounds close and her eyes flicker open, though she is still weak.

[23:44] moritheil: Rendan.

[23:45] Rendan: :takes off sign of St.Cuthbert, and chants words to turn the skeletons:"Go back to where you came froim in the name of cuthbert!"

[23:48] moritheil: OOC What does that turn, a 4HD?

[23:48] moritheil: OOC No, that doesn't work.

[23:48] moritheil: OOC Sorry.

[23:48] Rendan: ooc it happen

[23:48] Rendan: s

[23:49] moritheil: Damien.

[23:49] Damien: ::a quick look over my right shoulder to see if that undead creature from the previous room has moved::

[23:49] moritheil: OOC also, just tell me next time what your level result is, if you know it . . . I'm not that great at the turning rules, because they're goofy.

[23:49] moritheil: It is not moving at all.

[23:49] Damien: ::release another magic missile on the skeletal creature::

[23:50] Damien: 3+1 (4)

[23:50] Damien: OOC: yes memorized multiple times

[23:51] Damien: done

[23:52] moritheil: Aerlene stands, weakly.

[23:52] moritheil: The skeleton from the hallway lumbers into the room.

[23:52] moritheil: Yor immediately deals it a punishing blow with his club.

[23:53] moritheil: Terenar.

[23:54] Terenar: Terenar moves around to Cam's side, again touching his cloak and casting the same spell.

[23:54] Terenar: (done)

[23:55] moritheil: Matje.

[23:55] Matje Moonhollow: ooc it moved into the room, assuming I'm within range to attack?

[23:55] moritheil: OOC Yup.

[23:56] moritheil: OOC You, Camthalion, and Yor are all next to it.

[23:56] Matje Moonhollow: Matje attacks with both weapons: 19+5str+2bab-2PA = 24

[23:57] moritheil: OOC Hmm, does that include the TWF penalty?

[23:57] Matje Moonhollow: no, sorry, 22 with TWF , second roll is 17

[23:57] Matje Moonhollow: 16 rather, with TWF

[23:57] Matje Moonhollow: with PA adjustment as well

[23:57] moritheil: OOC Both hit.

[23:57] Matje Moonhollow: ooc second one is with the light mace

[23:58] moritheil: OOC Damage.

[23:58] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 4+2 = 6 slashing (longsword, 5+2=7 bludgeoning (lightmace)

[23:59] moritheil: Camthalion attacks it with both scimitars, scoring a hit.

[23:59] moritheil: Morena.

[00:01] Morena: Trying once again to turn them, Morena grabs her holy symbol and channels her gods.

[00:02] Morena: OOC: Turning check, 20, 5 HD.

[00:02] Morena: OOC: I turn 11 of them, I think.

[00:03] moritheil: Turning around, the beast attempts to flee up the stairs.

[00:03] moritheil: Anyone next to it can take AOOs.

[00:03] Morena: OOC: wait, I turn 13 hit dice worth.

[00:04] moritheil: OOC Nobody for AOOs?

[00:04] Matje Moonhollow: ooc nat 20 on longsword, 13+1 [14] on light mace

[00:04] Rendan: ooc am i next to it?

[00:04] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 15 on confirm

[00:04] Terenar: ooc They're undead. :(

[00:04] moritheil: OOC no crit, but both hit. Normal damage.

[00:04] Terenar: ooc I made that mistake yesterday.

[00:04] Matje Moonhollow: ooc i'm just sayin i finally made a crit;)

[00:05] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 5+2 [7] on longsword, 3+2 [5] on mace

[00:06] Morena: OOC: Alright, need to go to sleep :(

[00:06] Morena: OOC: Got the work tomorrow.

[00:06] Matje Moonhollow: ooc moi aussi

[00:07] *** Morena has left the chat.

[00:07] Terenar: ooc Night, then.

[00:08] moritheil: The skeletal beast crumples to the ground, unmoving.

[00:09] Damien: ::smirks::

[00:09] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves to pick up the skull.

[00:09] Damien: ::look around for other threats::

[00:10] Terenar: ooc Whose turn is next?

[00:12] moritheil: Initiative - Morena Rendan Damien Aerlene Skeletons Yor Terenar Matje Camthalion

[00:12] moritheil: OOC Although, combat is over.

[00:12] Terenar: Terenar looks up the stairway. "Are we sure there aren't any more skeletons up there?"

[00:13] Rendan: "I hope not"

[00:13] Rendan: :Turns to Damien:

[00:13] Rendan: "Are you guy alright?"

[00:13] Rendan: *guys

[00:13] Damien: "Yeah..."

[00:13] Rendan: "What happened in there?"

[00:14] Matje Moonhollow: "Nothing. We found the trigger to open the door and got back as soon as was possible."

[00:14] Terenar: Terenar turns back to the main group. "I think we should think about leaving. Another fight like that could leave us dead."

[00:14] Matje Moonhollow: Matje lifts the skull, examining it to try and discern what beast it once was.

[00:14] Rendan: "No we slept too much to get here"

[00:14] Rendan: "Nothing is stopping me now from getting that egg"

[00:14] Rendan: :tunrs to terenar:

[00:14] Rendan: "In case u want to camp out in that mucky swamp?"

[00:15] Terenar: Terenar looks a bit dubious. "If we run into more of those skeletons, you and Morena can make them run away, right?"

[00:15] moritheil: "Hm," Morena says. "I don't know about you, but I'm significantly down on healing and I don't think I can turn any more skeletons for a while."

[00:15] Rendan: "I have healing spells ready"

[00:15] Rendan: "and i can turn undead once more"

[00:16] Damien: "We can at least scout a bit further and camp out for the night before pressing on as a group"

[00:16] moritheil: "I could use some healing, if you can spare any," notes Aerlene.

[00:16] Terenar: Terenar looks very dubious. "It took, what, five tries to get those beasts to flee? One more try isn't worth much."

[00:16] Rendan: :Walks up to aerlene, puts hand on her wound:"o grand cuthbert, lend me your grand magic to heal my comrade!":cast cure lightn wounds:

[00:16] moritheil: OOC Roll it.

[00:16] Rendan: Roll(1d8)+2:6,+2Total:8

[00:16] Terenar: "I've used up quite a bit of my own magic as well."

[00:17] Matje Moonhollow: "The mage makes a valid point, cleric. There is no point going to a battle with only half a quiver of arrows."

[00:17] Damien: ::Damien moves and puts a calming hand on Aerlene's shoulder::

[00:17] Rendan: :thinks to self:( how many times do we have to camp to get this damn egg?)

[00:18] Rendan: :rubs forehead:

[00:18] Damien: "Glad to see you are still alive" :::smirks::

[00:18] moritheil: Yor hefts his club, smacking it into his hand. He looks about for more things to pound.

[00:19] Damien: ::spoken to the group:: "We should split into to groups, one setting camp while the smaller group scouts ahead a short distance"

[00:19] Matje Moonhollow: "There's always that creature in the other room, chained up.."

[00:19] Damien: two*

[00:19] Terenar: Terenar gets an idea. "Yor! Go outside. If you see any more skeletons, yell down to us."

[00:22] moritheil: The barbarian lumbers outside.

[00:22] Damien: "Those adept at stealth should join me scouting while the rest of you prepare camp for us all to rest"

[00:24] moritheil: Camthalion sheathes one of his scimitars, moving to join Damien.

[00:24] Terenar: Terenar sighs. "I wish we weren't in a swamp. We could do with a lot of heavy rocks right now. Or better yet, a lot of wood."

[00:24] moritheil: "What are you planning?" asks Aerlene.

[00:25] Terenar: "Seeing if we can get that door to close, then blocking off the stairway so nothing can get in overnight."

[00:25] Terenar: "All those skeletons are coming from outside."

[00:25] moritheil: "Hmm," observes Morena. "That door closes, but we have no idea what the creepy corpse is."

[00:26] moritheil: Listen checks.

[00:26] Rendan: "i bet it has something to do with the evil necromancer"

[00:26] Terenar: [4]

[00:26] Damien: 17+10 (27)

[00:26] Rendan: Roll(1d20)+3:11,+3Total:14

[00:26] Matje Moonhollow: ooc 17+3 [20]

[00:27] moritheil: Matje and Damien, you hear the sounds of bones being crushed from outside.

[00:27] Terenar: Terenar scowls more. "It would fit, wouldn't it?"

[00:27] Damien: ::ears pirk::

[00:27] Damien: "Something outside..."

[00:27] Rendan: "O dont tell me"

[00:27] Damien: ::rushes to the entrance to look outside, hiding::

[00:27] Terenar: "What now?"

[00:28] Rendan: :rushes to the entrance:

[00:28] Rendan: :hiding as well:

[00:28] Damien: ::wave him back::

[00:28] Rendan: :Goes back, 30:

[00:28] moritheil: Yor stands by the entrance at the top of the stairs, methodically crushing a group of skeleton men who struggle through the muck to reach him.

[00:28] moritheil: Dozens of bone fragments and discarded weapons lie in the murky waters.

[00:29] Damien: "Yor needs some help over here!"

[00:29] Rendan: "let's go everyone!Yor needs help!"

[00:29] Damien: ::moves away so Rendan can pass::

[00:29] Matje Moonhollow: Matje moves up the stairs, seeing the barbarian laying waste to the skeletons. "Doesn't look like it."

[00:29] moritheil: None of them seem to be getting close enough to reach him before he smashes their heads.

[00:29] Rendan: :runs to assist Yor:

[00:30] Damien: "Ok...I am going to scout...I'll leave you all to figure out our camping situation"

[00:30] Terenar: Terenar, before running out, turns to Damien. "Is there any way we can shut that door?"

[00:30] Terenar: "I don't like the thought of being attacked from both sides."

[00:30] moritheil: Rendan, you aid Yor in crushing some skulls.

[00:30] Damien: "I'll look for a lever or device when I return...I just want to see what lies beynd before I close us in here"

[00:30] moritheil: Soon no moving skeletons remain.

[00:30] Rendan: ooc mori, are they the same skeletons as last time?

[00:30] moritheil: OOC Those are the skeletons from the first fight.

[00:30] Rendan: ooc ok

[00:31] moritheil: OOC Not the large ones.

[00:31] Rendan: ooc so no init or nething/ i just smash em?

[00:32] moritheil: OOC I'll just rule that they die. They're damaged and not in any real position to put up a fight as they wade through the mire.

[00:32] Damien: ::give Cam a slap on the shoulder and get to scoutng ahead...moving silently and trying to stick to the shadows::

[00:32] moritheil: Nodding, the ranger turns to follow Damien.

[00:32] Matje Moonhollow: ooc i've got work in the morning

[00:32] Matje Moonhollow: ooc going to hit the sack

[00:32] Matje Moonhollow: ooc night all

[00:33] Damien: 13+8 (21)MS 15+6 (21) Hide

[00:33] Damien: OOC: night

[00:33] moritheil: OOC I should get going pretty soon as well.

[00:33] Terenar: ooc That's what I was realizing, we're down to three players.

[00:33] moritheil: OOC How much farther does everyone want to take this? Want to pick up from here next time?

[00:33] Rendan: ooc ok

[00:33] Terenar: ooc I vote we pick up here next time.

[00:33] moritheil: OOC You're all up to 825 xp, btw.

[00:33] Damien: OOC: whatever you want to do

[00:33] Matje Moonhollow: ooc i vote we pick it up from here next time.

[00:33] Terenar: ooc We're too short-handed to go on.

[00:34] Rendan: ooc 825 XP???!!!!!

[00:34] moritheil: OOC We'll end it there and give everyone 825 exp.

[00:34] Rendan: ooc NICE!!!!!!!

[00:34] Terenar: ooc That can't be per....oh, it is. Wow.

[00:34] Damien: OOC: cool thanks Mori

[00:34] moritheil: OOC Hey, you did pretty well against the large monster skeletons.

[00:34] Rendan: now im very close to lv 2

[00:34] Terenar: ooc That probably bumps a lot of us up a level.

[00:34] moritheil: OOC Update your sheets, and if people are leveling, send me the stuff.

[00:34] Terenar: ooc Terenar's at 3.

[00:35] Damien: OOC: I just want to point out that the character changes seem to be working out for the better...or is it just my opinion?

[00:35] Terenar: ooc Well, there's less friction right now, and the new characters seem to be working well.

[00:35] Matje Moonhollow: ooc tonight...yes. the other night...very very debatable.

[00:36] moritheil: OOC Actually, you know what, I'm making this a nice even 900 xp.

[00:36] moritheil: OOC The 825 is just from monsters by CR.

[00:36] moritheil: OOC I figure you guys deserve a bonus for getting your acts together.

[00:36] Matje Moonhollow: ooc nice thanks Mori

[00:36] moritheil: OOC 900 exp each, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy.

[00:36] Matje Moonhollow: ooc good night

[00:36] Terenar: ooc Thanks!

[00:37] Rendan: ooc thanks a bunch

[00:37] *** Matje Moonhollow has left the chat.

[00:37] Rendan: ooc 500 xp to go
