Keenan has connected.
Grike has connected.
Keenan does some prepping of mooks before going questing...
DM: The night before all this, you are getting some needed rest in your chambers when you recive a visitor...
Thad: Friend Odran, you must come with me. There is no time to lose
Odran: Huh.. what is it, whats goign on?
Thad: Time is of the essence. I must show you what I've found. Come quickly!
Odran: ok coming
Keenan: and i come
DM: He takes you out into the woods, pretty near the restricted line. There is a small pond there...
Undren is also present here
Thad: You must listen friend, though you likely will not like what you will hear.
Odran: What is it?
Thad: There are other forces in this world besides Nerull. We have been made aware of the presence of a god Grumish, a god of the orcs
Thad: Before we arrive, you must give me your word to listen and consider before you act. For the sake of our people
Odran: Very well, I give my word. now, please show me what you wish for me to look at
They continue to walk, and Thad explains all
Thad: I found Torg, or rather he found me. He wishes to speak with you about the path the orcish people are taking. I believe he has the right of it.
Odran: Wait really? hoepfully this whole thing can be sorted out withut fighting then if he wants to speak, i was thinking we would be able to, but was afraid we might not
DM: alright, so Odran and Undren finally arrive...
Undren: Torg?
Undren: They told me you got arrested!
Torg: There's not a prison on Earth that can hold Torg.
Torg: I am glad you are well.
Odran: Torg, I was so worried, please tell me, did you capture the scouts sent after you.
Undren: They sent SCOUTS after you?
Torg: Scouts are news to me.
Torg: *to three of the half orcs* keep eye out.
Woodcutter: You got it.
Odran: Well thats both good news and bad news, good nes is theres no fihgting, i thought you wouldnt, but jsut glad to be assured that there wasnt, bad news is we still have no idea why they arent back yet
Odran: So, what's going on here?
Odran: And have the effects form the pond dissapated at all for you?
Odran: or changed in some way?
Torg: The gift Grumish has given me is still here.
Torg: His strength is with us.
Odran: Who is Grumish?
Torg: Grumish is our god. He cares for his people, much like I do.
Torg: Unlike Nerul
Undren: Your god is Nerul, Torg!
Torg: Or Tamourne.
Odran: Ok, I have to disagree with that, but to avoid arguemnet for now lets get back to that later, but what is Grumish the god of.
DM: Undren is visibly crying at this point...
Torg: The orcs!
Torg: (( what a baby ))
Keenan: we dont like the orcs right, since they seemed like mindless beasts that just fought and took what they pleased when people turned into them right?
DM: "Orc" can refer both to the pure goblinoids (most people became goblins upon infection; bugbears, orcs, and ogres were far rarer and usually were only people who had killed a lot of goblins before), or to those who have goblin blood, such as the half-orcs.
Keenan: the pure goblinoids were all pretty evil right
DM: From what you were told. You never saw one.
Odran: ... Ok, what does he want you to do, and how did you realize he existed
Torg: He supports my defense of our people. He gave me strength when those of Nerul would have me do nothing.
Undren: No! My Torg will not be involved in this!
DM: She grabs your ear
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+2 => 4 + 2 = 6
Torg: (( I punch her in the face. ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 10 + 10 = 20
DM: hit
DM: definitely
* Boretos rolls: 1d3+7 => 3 + 7 = 10
Keenan: do i know thier relation at all?
DM: nope
Odran: what, wh... Why DId You Do That Torg! You just punched her out!
Torg: Oreuth... see to her.
Odran: tell me what is going on here
DM: roll init
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 8 + 1 = 9
* Keenan rolls: d20+2 => 19 + 2 = 21
* DM rolls: 1d20+3 => 9 + 3 = 12
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+3 => 3 + 3 = 6
* Grike rolls: d20+2 => 14 + 2 = 16
DM: ok Odran first
Keenan: I stand over her, take total defence positon, and ask
Boretos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yK4lxBarpE
Yup, I looked up this one. No, I'm not going to bother explaining it.
Grike: Is that considered a normal relationship within a half orc family?
Odran: What is going on here, you ahve alway been rash Torg, but I ahve never seen you do something like this. Now tell me, what is this organization you have doing, what are your plans, and WHY DID YOU PUNCH OUT HER OUT!!!
DM: Grike's turn, and not in a healthy one.
Thad: Odran, remember what we discussed. Listen and consider. He will not harm her further, I will see to it.
DM: do you take any actions?
Grike: I guess draw my chain but not threateningly
Odran: I am lstening Thad, and i will continue to do so, I am simply asking questions.
Odran: Watch her closely
DM: alright, Oreuth decides to delay until after Torg
DM: the other orcs close in and draw weapons
DM: Torg's turn
Torg: I warned her not to do that. She knows I hate it.
Odran: you punched her out, that is taking ti a bit far!
Torg: and you *to the orcs* MIND YOUR POSTS
* DM rolls: 1d10 => 10
DM: they look at each other and nod
Torg: She will be tended to. Grumish makes me strong. I will not be treated as a child.
DM: if nobody does anything I will count that as the end of the encounter.
Odran: Very well, but that is no need to resort to such violence.(I continue to watch her as the guy tends to her]
Odran: Now, could you please awnser my other questions
Torg: One at a time.
Odran: Please tell me, what is this organization doing here, and what are your plans
Torg: We are preparing for the change in leadership for our town. We will have our people be defended.
Odran: What change of leadership?
Torg: If Tamourne, Ico, and Uder will not open their eyes, they will be replaced.
Odran: (taken aback,but then compose my self quickly again) open thier eyes..to what?
Torg: The foolishness of worshipping a god who only desires your death.
Torg: Even you know of the danger that approaches.
Torg: Without action, all will die.
Odran: Nerull does not desire our deaths, he prepares us for them, he helps guide us through our lives. He does not hasten death, death is a must, no matter what it will occur, he helps us prepare ourselves for that time
Torg: Tell me how he has prepared you. Spending all your time living in fear of the unknown is not preperation.
Odran: I couldnt agree more, that is why we do not. We prepare ourselves by contemplating it, and helping others live and make the most of thier lives before theres end. YOu can not stop death Torg. You can only be ready to let it take you
Torg: Our people are suffering and now threatened. Tell me whether you think Tamourne's actions are sufficient.
Odran: I do not agree with everything Tamourne say, i admit this, we are all just mortals, he may be right, he may be wrong, regardless, i will respect his opinion and the opion of my other elders. He wants what he believes to eb teh best for others, despite what you may think of him. Still, we are preparing for the upcomiing attack all ready torg, and do not forget that we would ahv helped you get to the la... How did you know we were threatened?
Torg: A "mortal mistake" is not acceptable from responsible leader. It is not good to respect your elders while your women are slain. Respect does not save lives.
Odran: THere is no possible way to avoid mistakes torg, it is impossible. And yes, there are times where you have to put aside ones respect, but that does not mean you lose it. Besides, I have already said we are workig towards the same goal of protecting outselves from attack, speaking of which, how did you know we were going to be attacked
Torg: Grumish ensmartens me.
Torg: You do not even know when this attack happens.
Odran: if you know the exact time of it, I believe we all would appreciate this info, however, i see no reason for there to be a great upheval over it. We all want whats best for the village Torg, please see that. At times like this, especially at times like this, we need to work together. Now, if you could tell me what you know, and what all of your plans are, maybe all of this could be sorted out more easily
Torg: *yells* GRAAAAAAAAAWW!!
Torg: YOU FRUSTRATE
Odran: Please, Torg, calm down, I just want to know these things, I want us all to be able to work together, to keep our town safe
Torg: We do not have time for squabbles. We do not have room for prisoners. We will not let you join them.
Keenan: shit, that sounds bad
Keenan: i tense up thinking i might be attacked
Torg: We will not let you stand idly by.
DM: alright, if anyone chooses to attack, init will have to be rolled first
Odran: Torg, i agree, we do not have time to fight, please, i want us to work together
Torg: Then join me, brother. We can save this town together.
Torg: Like it or not, you are one of us.
Odran: I will join you in defending the town Torg, but I am still a cleric of Nerull.
Odran: Is there nothing i can do to persuade you that we can work together Torg? We all want the same thing.
Torg: You don't understand. We must work together. I care only for our people.
Torg: The humans and elves think us dogs.
Odran: Really, Thad here thinks you are a dog. Is that what you are saying, that Ico thinks you are naught but a dog?
Torg: Thad is a brother. This I know.
Odran: Then why can't you see that it is possible for other humans and elves to be your brother, to be your friend as well?
Torg: I DO!
Odran: Good, then please work with us to make the town safe.
Torg: I am not foolish enough to think I can return safely. Not while the tainted Tamourne still presides.
Odran: If you cant do that, can you at the very least send a representative, someone we can talk to. It doesnt seem like you will return with us to the village, but please lets atleast work together to protect it, for all the people inside of it. We may disagree about many things, but we can both agree on this purpose. Lets talk things out.
Oreuth: I'm not going after they tried to kill me...
Torg: You will do as I say.
Odran: wait, what happened?
Torg: I told you of our dangerous leadership.
Oreuth: They tried to have me killed just because we were gathering in the forest to pray
Torg: It was an unwarranted attack.
Torg: Tadryn opened fire on us.
Odran: By the gods...
Torg: I had to defend my people.
Odran: And you killed him... This is bad
Odran: Do you know why he might have done this?
Torg: Tadryn was always envious of my skills.
Odran: Ok, I don't think thats the reason for the attack, and we will have to go over this at another time, however fighting one another jsut to weaken each toher before being attacked wont help us. And if what you say is true, you can't blame the village for this.
Torg: Do not trust Tamourne. He has made himself an enemy after his secrets were exposed to me.
Odran: What secrets
Odran: this is why i want you to explain everyhting in detail, so that i can understnad your motivations
Torg: You have yet to prove I can trust you.
Odran: how can i understand what your doing,if i dont understand everything about why your doing it
Odran: I have told you my beliefs, I have fought beside you
Odran: please, tell me so that i can understand what you are doing
Torg: Ask him yourself. Ask him what happens when a priest breaks his oath.
Torg: When you ask him. Be prepared for a promotion.
Odran: ... Fine... Fine, Ill just return now then, cause it sems like nothng further will go on here. Do i have your promise though, that if we send people tot alk to you later, that you will not attack them. That you will not attack anyone without giving proper warning, and allowing them to back off. Neither of us want anyone else to die i imagine.
Torg: You insult me. I would not attack my people.
Odran: as long as your people include all in the village, very well then. I will take Undren and go
Torg: I will tend to her here.
Odran: will you let her return.
Torg: She will do as she pleases.
Thad: I'll remain with Torg
Keenan: i guess we go abck to the village then right, I report immediately to where Ico typically lives, give an abbreviated tale of everythign that happened, and say that Tamourne and maybe Uder sould probably hear all of this as well.
DM: when you come back it is past midnight. The high priests tend to ask to not be disturbed, but they always sleep in the "palace" of Uder at night
DM: That said, it's only a couple hours before dawn
Keenan: this seems like a pretty damn big issue so i think they would be willing to be disturbed for ti
Keenan: I knock on the front door
DM: no answer
Keenan: I knock a bit harder
DM: still nothing.
Keenan: oyu know, this probably wont change in the next few hours, i might just go to the church to pray till dawn then return
Keenan: so yeah i return and knock on the door some more if nothing happens at church
DM: The knock might not awaken someone through a wall. You could either shout or go inside and look for them.
Keenan: I guess they need thier rest to prepare spells still, and a attack could happen at any time, so it might be best to not wake all of our stongest casters up, especailly since dawn occurs in just a few hours and nothing is likely to happen till then, so i go to church to pray before goign back to the palace just as dawn arrives
DM: as you return, you see Tamourne is out and about pre dawn
Odran: Sir, there is something of great importance i must tell you and Ico
Joeseph Tamourne: Is it about the mission? How did you get back so soon?
There is connecting stuff between these lines, but it doesn't really make sense. Just roll with it.
Joeseph Tamourne: Alright, I'll get Ico.
Odran: Thank you
lco: What is it?
Keenan: I explain pretty much everything that happened last night exactly how it happened
Joeseph Tamourne: So it's open rebellion?
Odran: It seems like it sir, but i dont beleive they will do anything against us till after the attack, I think we must atleast try to work together till then, because otherwise we would just weaken ourselves, instead with this time I believe we should try to continue to communicate, and hopefully stop a fight between us, we have this time, even if for an unfortunate reason, so I believe we should use it sir.
Joeseph Tamourne: The attack could be at any time in the next six months. A rouge scout hopped up on forrest magic is attempting to kill us NOW.
Joeseph Tamourne: *turns to Ico* I say we take a team and resolve this sooner rather than later.
lco: We have a prisoner in the mix Tamourne. We need to be careful.
Odran: I believe that Torg does want what is best for our village, though he has never been to rational, I have hope that he can be delyed from doing anyhting else rash till the attack, though i cannot be sure, with what happened with Tadryn
Joeseph Tamourne: You did your part. Now we will do ours.
Joeseph Tamourne: What I need of you at this point is to tell your story to the others. Too many of them think I'm a madman who just wants to put a wall between this village and all the pleasures of this world. This village will not stand long divided.
lco: Also, if it does come to civil war, I want you to keep in mind that we might not come back. We are both veterans, but Torg clearly has some strange magic with him.
lco: If that happens, you will be our leader.
Odran: What about King Uder sir?
DM: Tamourne looks at Ico. Ico looks back and gives a grave nod.
Joeseph Tamourne: I still don't trust him. Are you sure?
lco: I've known him longer than you, and this has proven his loyalty.
lco: My apprentice, sit down.
Keenan: i do so
lco: My apprentice, Uder is dead.
lco: He has been for four years.
Odran: ... Why has no one been told of this sir?
Odran: What killed him?
lco: He fell in combat to Glistar's men. He had already come before the half orcs, and told them that they needed to go to a safer land beyond Damriel, but now only the two of us were there to lead the people. We feared that without one of their own, they would not follow us, riot in the streets, and be slain. Uder was a symbol to them, as he is now.
lco: We told them that he was just wounded, and couldn't see anyone. By the time we said he was well, people were used to not seeing their king.
Joeseph Tamourne: We tell a lie for everyone's sake.
Odran: (deep breath) Masters, I am... saddened greatly to hear this, and wish it didnt have to be this way, but you are proabbly right. Many of my people do get angry easily, and could ahve just seen it as being ruled unfairly by a new group of people instead of the old ones. THis, this is jsut alot to take in.
Odran: Actions like Torg show, that that was likely neccesary
Joeseph Tamourne: We never wanted it to be this way Odran. We should all be in the capital as equals. Uder, son of the great king Veric, should sit upon the throne. But that's just not how it is.
Odran: I understand
lco: And should we fall, this secret will be yours to keep.
Odran: I hope you do not, but, I will be ready if it becomes neccesary
DM: alright then, that wraps up your part I think.
DM: Unless you are up to anything (the mission is off, obviously)
Meanwhile...
DM: Alright, the followers of Grumish now.
Boretos: ok
Boretos: We head to the lake
DM: immediately? It's almost midnight...
Boretos: Oh
DM: also, you have recruited a few more followers from in town over the last couple days
Boretos: yay
Boretos: Well, we'll stay the night through and head over tomorrow.
Boretos: Keeping a full watch.
DM: alright.
DM: early that morning...
Oreuth: My king, may I make a suggestion?
Torg: Speak
Oreuth: Perhaps these waters could be more than just a gift to the worthy. They are redirecting the creek into the village in order to have a water supply in case of seige. If, per chance, some of that water were the waters from the lake?
Oreuth: How will Tamourne rule over those who experience the power he cannot explain?
Torg: Hmm... Your suggestion is good.
Torg: We will likely need more water.
Oreuth: Indeed...
Oreuth: To the lake?
Torg: To the lake.
Torg: (( take ALL the rafts ))
DM: not suprised
DM: alright, now what are you up to?
Torg: Feast on the passion, men.
Torg: Fill your waterskins.
DM: these men have already drank, but they do so again, and fill the waterskins.
Torg: (( I'll splash some on Undren. ))
DM: do you make her drink some, or just splash it
Torg: (( I'll try and make her drink, but I'm not gonna drown her. ))
Grike has connected.
DM: you notice a strengthening
Woodcutter: Now what?
Torg: Any coopers step forward.
Half orc: Coopers?
Torg: Barrel makers.
DM: they all just look at each other
Torg: fine.
Torg: Let's pray this will be enough.
DM: alright, stealth mission time!
DM: actually, do you go into the village, or just go to the stream?
Boretos: We'll just dump the water upstream.
Grike: Does the town keep any water stores?
Boretos: I know I want to murder something.
DM: yes. A store of water is kept for those who can't make the journey, but it's right in town square..
Boretos: Well, obviously we have to poison that.
Planning happens
DM: so you just wait until nightfall and mosey on in?
Grike: I'm thinking more after midnight. Then there'd probably be the minimum number of people
Boretos: First I want to ask Thad a question.
Torg: Tell me what you know of the missing scouts sent after me.
Thad: Not much. I wasn't one of the scouts. Several were sent out after Tadryn and only some returned
Torg: I hope the others return in one piece.
Thad: It worries me that nobody seems to know what befell them
Torg: These woods are dangerous.
Torg: It could be nothing or it could be everything.
Boretos: How long is a trip from the town to the lake?
DM: about 13 hours
DM: not short
Boretos: dang
Boretos: I guess we just keep our eyes and ears peeled until the time comes.
Boretos: and stay hidden.
DM: alright, so how long are you going to hang around, and or what are you waiting around for?
Boretos: We're waiting for a good opportunity for Thad to run in, dump the water, and come back without being seen.
Grike: sneaksneak
DM: soon people begin to retreat. You can't be sure it's clear, but it sure is quiet...
Grike: Alright I proceed cautiously
DM: make a spot check
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 4 + 6 = 10
DM: there is one old half orc sitting on a stool
Grike: I go around the building I'm against to the north
DM: make spot
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 13 + 6 = 19
DM: you see nothing
Grike: Should I just make spot checks every time I move?
DM: everytime you want to check your position. Also roll move silently every time you move
Grike: move silently is also +6 so that'll just be my second roll
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
DM: kk
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
DM: you see nothing
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 6 + 6 = 12
Human 13: Hello?
DM: he looks right at you
Thad: Hello friend, what are you doing out so late?
Human 13: I like the stars. Best part about being out in the wilds.
Human 13: No city to block your view.
Thad: Very true. There's just something beautiful about the night sky. One of the most wonderful things about nature
Human 13: You mind answering a question, stranger?
Thad: Probably not. Ask away.
Human 13: Why are you looking about yourself like a theif. Looks to me like you don't want to be seen out here...
Thad: I've found it's always best to return to town quietly after dark. You ever been rung out by an angry elder for waking half the village up?
Thad: (( none of that was a lie ))
DM: lieing by omission counts in D&D roll bluff
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 4
* Grike rolls: d20-1 => 8 - 1 = 7
Boretos: wow
Boretos: impressive skills all around.
Human 13: Don't worry. Both elders went off after the traitors.
Thad: Really? Torg and his lot?
Human 13: Yeah. They seemed to know where they were hiding somehow.
Human 13: I'm just glad they really do care about keeping us safe. Tamourne can be an ass sometimes...
Thad: You're not kidding. Ico seems a fair leader though
Human 13: I suppose. I sometimes wish that Uder showed his face more. I know that's weird for a human to say, but he is the rightful king, you know?
Human 13: What are the odds an assasin has really been waiting all this time to kill the guy.
Thad: Kings don't grow old by being brazen. Who am I to judge? I know nothing of ruling
Human 13: Yeah.
Human 13: Goodnight
Thad: Have a good night friend
Grike: Does he leave?
DM: yeah
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 17 + 6 = 23
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 20 + 6 = 26
DM: you see nothing
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 16 + 6 = 22
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 15 + 6 = 21
DM: you see nothing
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
DM: you see nothing
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 5 + 6 = 11
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
He finally reaches the well.
Orcish Warrior: 'Ello
Thad: Hail friend, night watch?
Orcish Warrior: Indeed. You carrying that water all by yourself?
Thad: Yes I am. It's important to stay hydrated
DM: roll bluff
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 4 + 1 = 5
* Grike rolls: d20-1 => 19 - 1 = 18
Boretos: unscrupulous
Thad: (( is anybody else around? ))
DM: not that you can see...
Thad: (( did I catch him on a patrol or is he just standing there? ))
DM: he seems to be on patrol
Thad: (( in which direction? ))
DM: north
Thad: (( does he have further interest in me? ))
DM: he seems to
Orcish Warrior: What's your name?
Boretos: dare you to say Torg.
Thad: Isn't it obvious? I'm Torg the rebel!
Boretos: omg
Thad: (( heaaavy sarcasm ))
Boretos: aw..
Orcish Warrior: Don't do that to me boy. I am on specific orders to watch out for Torg and his men. It's a fucking civil war.
Thad: (( don't want to roll too high on bluff, he might believe me ))
DM: in this case, you intentionally fail a bluff to not be sarcastic.
DM: Unfailible, because he knows you weren't serious
Orcish Warrior: What is your name really?
Thad: My name is Jak. I'm new in town
* Grike rolls: d20-1 => 8 - 1 = 7
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 20 + 1 = 21
Orcish Warrior: Really? You are new in a town full of refugees that cut off contact four years ago?
Thad: (( how quickly can I dump the water? ))
DM: full round action
Boretos: o boy
Thad: (( initiative? ))
DM: ohh yeah
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 17
* Grike rolls: d20+3 => 13 + 3 = 16
Thad: (( I didn't know that! ))
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 4 + 2 = 6
DM: he swings and misses
DM: your turn
Thad: (( withdraw ))
Orcish Warrior: Intruder! Get him!
Boretos: I kinda have line of sight.
Boretos: right?
DM: you heard that
Thad falls back while Torg moves in.
Orcish Warrior 2: Halt!
DM: ok, you two
Boretos: turn
Old half-orc 18: What the?
Thad: (( a distraction would be ideal ))
Boretos: can I intimidate as part of a run?
DM: no
Boretos: aw..
Boretos: how about general screaming?
DM: a charge yes, but a run no
DM: and sure
DM: and Grike, measure that out. If you click down your mousewheel you can do multi part moves
DM: ok
Thad: (( my turn is over ))
DM: ohh right
Orcish Warrior: It's Torg!
DM: ok, done
Thad: (( he doesn't see me right? ))
DM: warroir 2?
Thad: (( yeah, I'm around the corner from him ))
DM: yeah, no LOS
Thad: (( and can I ready another move for when he rounds the corner? ))
DM: yeah
Thad: (( that then ))
Torg: (( Torg unleashes a mighty roar ))
DM: that's all?
Torg: I WILL DEFEND MY PEOPLE, EVEN FROM THEMSELVES
Thad: (( don't lead them to the water pit! ))
Torg: (( turn ))
Torg: (( torg will, unfortunately. ))
Thad: (( he did not see me make that turn ))
DM: no, but he knows you weren't straight down or to the right, by looking down both, so he made a guess.
Thad: (( well that was my readied move. I don't think he could have seen that ))
DM: no, you would have gone before. Keep in mind that if it werent for Torg yelling, you would be very loud running with two sacks of water.
DM: Torg, your move?
Torg: (( hmmm.... ))
Torg: (( Upon seeing Thad, I stop withdrawing. ))
DM: kk
DM: the warriors both charge you
DM: nvm only one does
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 2 + 2 = 4
DM: and he sucks at it.
Orcish Warrior 2: STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
DM: yall's turn
Thad: (( am I seen? ))
Torg: (( self defense! ))
DM: you sure aren't noticed
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+11 => 16 + 11 = 27
* Boretos rolls: 1d12+9 => 4 + 9 = 13
DM: who drops then?
Torg: The one who swung.
DM: cool, Thad?
Thad: (( that was forty around the building too ))
DM: alright
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
DM: ?
Thad: (( move silently ))
Torg: Cease your foolish attack!
DM: ok, that's a -4
Thad: (( then 16 ))
DM: kk
DM: the other warrior attacks
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 2 + 2 = 4
Human 18: Hey! What are you doing?
DM: he tries to punch you. Do you take AoO on him?
Thad: (( to trip ))
* Grike rolls: d20+10 => 19 + 10 = 29
DM: that hits touch. now make the check itself...
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 18

DM: alright, punch time
Thad: (( right ))
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 13
DM: does that hit?
Thad: (( nope ))
DM: ok, then yalls turn
Thad: (( if I were to trip into the tub would that count as emptying the bottles? ))
DM: Only if you take a full round to dive. Remember you are carrying multiple very large bags. If you were to just throw them on, they would fall off and spill on the ground.
Torg: (( what the hay, I'll intimidate. ))
Thad: (( I want to make it look accidental ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 15 + 10 = 25
Orcish Warrior 2: Ohh dear Nerul....
Torg: You will not win this battle!
Torg: Surrender!
DM: ok, Thad
DM: your move
Keenan has connected.
Orcish Warrior 2: I surrender!
Thad: (( I trip backwards into the tub ))
DM: Odran sees Torg in town square, fighting two guards
Odran: ...shit.
DM: You had been hearing Torg screaming about how great he is or something...
Torg: (( come on now. ))
Thad: (( Torg is pretty great ))
Keenan: i channel frost
* Keenan rolls: d6 => 1
Keenan: and quick channel law
* Keenan rolls: d6-1 => 5 - 1 = 4
Keenan: i then cast the spell of frost 1, law 1 and go forward to try to stun torg
Keenan: is he within 30 ft
Keenan: or can you charge a sepllcasting touch attack
DM: you can charge that
DM: in fact you need to
* Keenan rolls: d20+5 => 16 + 5 = 21
Torg: (( but he can't. ))
Keenan: does that hit your touch
Thad: (( how does one charge a spell? ))
DM: ohh yeah
Keenan: true
DM: Charge is full round.
Keenan: ok, guess i just ready myself to move forward at the end of your turn torg
DM: The warrior backs off, but the human tries to grapple you and pull you out of the water
Torg: (( what weapons are these guys using? ))
DM: they have battleaxes
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 16
DM: ok, roll grapple Thad
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 9
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 15 + 6 = 21
DM: do you just shake the guy off, or pull him in?
Thad: (( can I use him to pull me out? maybe as a tumble check? ))
DM: uhh, sure. Roll it
* Grike rolls: d20+9 => 19 + 9 = 28
Human 18: What is wrong with you?
Torg: (( *backflips out of water* ))
Thad: (( is he jealous of my skillz? ))
DM: you ran around from the law and fell in the town's drinking water.
DM: like a drunk idiot
Thad: (( and then did a cool flip! ))
DM: okk, Torg and Thad's turn
Torg: (( 7331 skillz ))
Thad: TIME TO GO TORG
Torg: (( I'll grab the dropped battle ax. ))
Torg: (( and high tail it. ))
DM: your turn Odran
Keenan: as i said, i readied to move closer to torg at the end of my last turn
Keenan: once he finishes his turn
Keenan: so i do that
Keenan: then on my turn i channel negative
Keenan: i mean necromancy
* Keenan rolls: 2d6 => 9
Keenan: cast that, 3 law, and the 1 frost, and then move toweards and use it on torg
Keenan: damn i messed up hard
Keenan: oh well, still doing that
Keenan: i guess i cant use my old roll to try to hit torg
* Keenan rolls: d20+3 => 8 + 3 = 11
Keenan: dman, doubt that touches him
Torg: (( nope. ))
Keenan: damn, could have flanked, well im boned
Thad: (( I made a mistake a while back. For tripping, the touch attack was +6 not +10. Doesn't really matter because it didn't work though ))
Torg: You would stab a brother in the back?
Thad: (( for future notice ))
DM: are you casting or not?
Odran: You're attacking our village, the people of the village are my people.
Odran: and i said i did and i screwed up
DM: ohh ok
DM: then it's their turn?
Keenan: yep
Torg: I only defend my men and myself!
Thad: It's true, we were attacked
Keenan: it looks like they are just attacking our village guards right
DM: well, there is a guard dieing in the town square...
DM: actually...
* DM rolls: 1d10 => 5
* DM rolls: 1d10 => 2
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 13

Keenan: is he the only one i see who is dying
DM: yup
Keenan: then all on im
* Keenan rolls: d8 => 5
DM: ok, he's good now. Combat over, nobody died
Thad: (( for the record, he did attempt to strike Torg first. He'll tell you unless he lies ))
Torg: (( but I got a battle axe! ))
Keenan: who will tell me?
Thad: (( anybody who saw ))
Keenan: ok, who struck torg first
Keenan: this is ou of character dont tell me
Keenan: nvm
Torg: (( guess. ))
Keenan: the dying guy
Thad: (( I was also attacked for the crime of being sassy ))
DM: alright, skiping to next morning...
DM: what do you do?
Keenan: before that i asked exactly what happened here
Human 14: Someone was sneaking in here. I saw them on the way in.
Orcish Warrior 2: It was Torg and one of his men, sir.
Odran: Do you know why they were sneaking in?
Old half-orc 18: Torg charged risght at me and tried to kill me!
Human 18: I think they were trying to steal our water. One guy feel into the trough.
Odran: So, he charged you, and then the others here stopped his attack
Orcish Warrior 2: Perhaps they were going for the palace? Uder is at his most unguarded right now.
Odran: ...True
Orcish Warrior 2: Your orders?
Odran scans the trough, but concludes it's not big enough to try and steal to seige the town.
DM: water is not in short supply in this region
Keenan: yeah, just wanted to amke sure
Keenan: Anyway, if there is time i go to get a proper rest, so i can prepare spells tommorow
DM: you will need to sleep in a bit
Keenan: then, i check on the wounded guard, and start planning things out
DM: ok
DM: Adam and Matt, do you have any particular plans? At this point you guys are leading the plot
Boretos: um...
Boretos: I'm willing to head back to camp and check on things.
Grike: Sounds good
Torg and Thad return to their island base.
DM: you arrive late in the evening to discover your raft has been smashed.
Grike: Shucks
Boretos: intelligent smashing?
Boretos: or animal smashing?
DM: Clear signs of tools.
DM: You've been seen
Boretos: Hm.
Torg: Just like old times.
Torg: (( spot check ))
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 8 + 6 = 14
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 9 + 6 = 15
DM: you don't spot anything.
Torg: (( I guess I'll swim to the island, then. ))
DM: the rafts here are trashed too
Thad: (( I went with him ))
Plot hole note: we just assume they find some way to get accross, as there is no real danger at this point.
Torg: Looks like a scouting party found us.
Torg: (( draw my weapon, expect an ambush, and approach the camp. ))
Thad: (( Same. Draw my chain and approach, making active spot checks ))
DM: roll em
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 19 + 6 = 25
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 9 + 6 = 15
DM: you see some blood over to the north
Torg: (( I go to it. ))
Torg: This doesn't look good.
Thad: You check out the blood, I'll investigate the pools
DM: near the pools, there is now a half-finished shelter, made out of part driftwood, part moved boulders
Thad: (( Any signs of a struggle? ))
DM: not here
Torg: Over here.
DM: where the blood is though, it looks like a fight was had
DM: they trail off twards the shore here, and you can see some old footprints in the higher sand.
Thad: (( I track it ))
DM: roll it
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
Thad: (( the DC shouldn't be too high because it's sand ))
DM: they just seem to stop at the sand. Looks like they got in rafts or something
Torg: Back across?
Thad: It would seem. Let's see if we can pick up the trail
Torg: (( okay, we swim again ))
DM: roll survival, but be advised the sun has set now
* Boretos rolls: 1d20 => 14
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 12 + 6 = 18
Torg: +1
DM: ok, well let's get back to Keenan's side of things
DM: in the mid afternoon, the high priests return.
Keenan: I show visible relief
Odran: It is good to see you again sirs, Torg and Thad came and attacked in the middle of the night
Joeseph Tamourne: Well then that explains where they were. We caught their crew at the lake.
Keenan: just wondering, are any of them dead
Joeseph Tamourne: They fought hard, but not as well as they think. Maybe that magic juice isn't what it's cracked up to be.
DM: they all seem stable. There were two clerics after all.
Keenan: thats always good
Odran: Im glad you suceeded, I just wish there was no need to fight
Odran: So, did you learn anything at all of what they are planning?
Odran: or were planning
lco: We decided to not wake them until we dragged them back.
Odran: Ah
lco: They certainly were not up for talking when we found them
Odran: I was quite worried when i saw Torg and Thad here, I feared for a second they might have attacked in retaliation after defeating you, i ahd hoped that they just didnt meet up with you at all, but I am so relieved to see that that hope was reality
Joeseph Tamourne: Yeah well, we need to find those two sooner or later. For now, we will keep these in the prison. As unfortunitely all of my best men are dead or traitors, we are going to have to guard them ourselves. Ico and I will switch off interrogating and guarding, but I want you on them round the clock for now, understood?
Odran: Yes sir
DM: he goes and takes a well-earned drink from the communal trough.
Joeseph Tamourne: And Odran?
Odran: yes?
Joeseph Tamourne: Report this to the king for us, would ya?
Odran: ...Yes sir!
DM: alright, back to you guys
DM: you follow the tracks for a bit, and soon notice that there are hoofmarks.
Keenan: wait, we have horses?
DM: a scant few
DM: it takes the whole night ane most of the rest of the day to track them
DM: also, the tracks lead right back to the village.
DM: what do you do?
Torg: (( did they ever patch up the big hole in the prison? ))
DM: you don't know...
Torg: I swore I would defend my people. I failed those who trusted me the most.
DM: that was kind of the most obvious place to hide...
Torg: (( yeah, but no regrets. ))
DM: alright then. Your move sucka
Torg: We must rescue those who still remain.

THIS IS A GOOD BREAKPOINT IF THIS MEGA SESSION IS GETTING IRRITATINGLY LONG FOR YOU...

Torg: (( we walk into town. ))
Human 15: hey, was that...
They keep striding in.
DM: ok, stop
DM: someone shouts that it's Torg at this point
Torg: (( how's the wall? ))
It's fixed.
Torg: (( aw ))
DM: roll init
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+3 => 20 + 3 = 23

* DM rolls: 1d20 => 13
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 17 + 1 = 18
* Keenan rolls: d20+2 => 17 + 2 = 19
DM: ok, Torg time
Odran channels some magic, while villagers rush into the area.
Torg: (( weapon drawn, ready for action. ))
Torg walks to the front door of the palace.
Torg: TAMOURNE!!
Torg: COME OUT HERE!!
Torg: (( turn ))
DM: alright, followers of Nerul, all go
Tamourne wakes up inside the palace.
Joeseph Tamourne: What in the?
Keenan: I guess we should got to fight.
Odran: Guess we should go to help him fight sir
DM: he opened a door, so that's his move
lco: I'll guard these guys.
Honestly don't remember who he's talking about...
lco: you get them
Keenan: i channel judgement
* Keenan rolls: 2d6 => 7
Keenan: and law
* Keenan rolls: 2d6-2 => 12 - 2 = 10
Keenan: and move
DM: kk
DM: Thad turn
Thad: (( tumble check to move through the guy in front of me ))
Thad: (( and then I move again ))
DM: roll it
* Grike rolls: d20+9 => 19 + 9 = 28
Thad: (( DC 25 I think ))
DM: it is
Thad: (( turn ))
Torg: (( I'm gonna bull rush Tamourne. ))
DM: it's AoO, touch, STR, right?
Torg: no. Aoo, STR
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 2 + 4 = 6
DM: miss
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 17 + 2 = 19
DM: 19 on STR
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 12 + 6 = 18
Torg: (( Dang. ))
Thad: (( so you bounce back five feet ))
Joeseph Tamourne: Think you can take the old man so easy, huh?
DM: Tamourne swings at Torg
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 14 + 4 = 18
Torg: (( hit ))
* DM rolls: 1d8+2 => 7 + 2 = 9
Guards rush the pair's rear, guarded by Thad. He tries to trip a couple, but it fails.
DM: ohh, still my turn
DM: ico channels positive
* DM rolls: 3d6 => 9
DM: ok, Odran and Thad
Keenan: i channel necromancy
* Keenan rolls: 2d6 => 7
Keenan: i quick channel frost
* Keenan rolls: d6-1 => 1 - 1 = 0
Keenan: that sucks
Keenan: i cast judgement 4, law 4, necromancy 4
Keenan: then go in for the touch attck
DM: +4 AC for cover
Keenan: it automatically hits due to judgemtn
DM: oooo
Keenan: roll twice
Keenan: will saves
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+2 => 7 + 2 = 9
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+2 => 11 + 2 = 13
Keenan: you are now stunned for 4 rounds, and blind
DM: ohh, also...
DM: Your drinks wear off. Torg now has a -1 to all physicals, while Thad has +1
Thad: (( boo yah! ))
DM: also, Thad's turn
Torg: (( just 1? ))
DM: your other effects remain in play
DM: but you lose that +1
Torg: (( modifier or raw score? ))
DM: err modifier. -2 in score
DM: my bad
DM: and the exact oppisite for Thad
Thad: (( sweet ))
Keenan: man i wonder what your talking about, if this is still the same first drink that occured or if this is a new drink effecting your stuff
DM: alright, what do you do Thad?
Thad: (( can I tumble to avoid AoO? ))
Keenan: if you wanna run you can also withdraw
Thad: (( I want to keep my standard action though ))
Keenan: k
Torg: (( Can I talk while stunned? ))
Keenan: i dont think so
Thad: (( can't take actions ))
DM: no talking
DM: Thad, your turn
Thad: (( I ready a trip against the first attacker within to enter range ))
DM: well then the two villagers get to try to punch you
DM: roll one AoO against them
* Grike rolls: d20+7 => 19 + 7 = 26
DM: trip or just a slay?
Thad: (( that was the touch attack for a trip ))
DM: kk
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 6
* Grike rolls: d20+8 => 9 + 8 = 17
DM: ok
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 9
DM: the other one misses
DM: alright, Torg's stunned so now everyone else.
Thad: (( my trip comes with a free attack since I have improved trip. can I do nonlethal damage? ))
DM: sure
* Grike rolls: d20+3 => 4 + 3 = 7
Thad: (( He is prone so that counts for something ))
Torg: (( it's -4, btw ))
* Grike rolls: 2d4+6 => 6 + 6 = 12
DM: ok
DM: now for other people's turns
Keenan: i assume torgs body is blocking me, so im waiting to see if tamourne moves towards thad before trying to squeeze by them
DM: Tamourne drags Torg out of the way
The fighting over the front door continues. Odran is keeping Torg stunned for a solid 6 rounds and managed to blind both Torg and Thad, while the guards are slowly wearing Thad down.
Odran: Just stop thad, please, you lost this.
Odran tries to tumble past Torg to reach a wounded guard.
Thad: (( he'd need to tumble to make that moove ))
Keenan: you can move through an allys square, at half rate i think
DM: actually, yeah. The path isn't clear thanks to Thad
Keenan: oh, ok then
DM: you could try a bull rush...
He tumbles instead. It doesn't work. Thad lands a solid hit on Odran as he tries to roll by, and throws him to the ground.
DM: is Thad really gonna win this?
Thad: (( That would be amazing ))
Thad: (( That's nonlethal btw ))
Other guards attack Thad, doing a mere 9 damage in the end.
DM: and Tamourne ties Torg up at this point.
Torg is still stunned. Pinned under the swarm of guards, Odran crawls away from the fighting as Thad, still blinds, takes another guard down with his chain.
DM: Thad's turn
Thad moves forward after the sound of Odran's crawling.
Thad: (( is there a nonlethal equivalent of a coup de grace? ))
Keenan: yep
Keenan: but thats when helpless, not prone
Keenan: right?
Thad: (( alright, just a nonlethal attack then ))
DM: you are just gonna have to whip his ass?
* Grike rolls: d20+9 => 8 + 9 = 17
Thad: (( whoops, +5 ))
Thad: (( so 13 ))
Keenan: guess that still hits since prone
DM: just
* Grike rolls: 2d4+7 => 4 + 7 = 11
Keenan: so roll your miss chance
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
Keenan: nice
DM: there is no escaping the blind spanker
Keenan: can i stealth roll so he wont know which square im in?
DM: you can move silently
DM: Ok Torg, you are now not stunned, what do you do?
Thad: (( maybe come heal check me ))
Torg: (( Still blind? ))
Keenan: yep
Torg: You would attack us without instigation?
Joeseph Tamourne: You attacked us the other day.
Torg: Again we were attacked without instigation.
Torg: Or perhaps you hope to silence me before your secret is released.
Joeseph Tamourne: Do you really think that that matters anymore?
DM: Odran's turn
* Keenan rolls: d20-1 => 11 - 1 = 10
Keenan: move silently
DM: roll to listen
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 17 + 6 = 23
Keenan: channeling as a free action still provokes right
Thad: (( yes ))
Keenan: guess i cant really do anyhting then
Keenan: man this is annoying
Thad: (( You blinded me and you're annoyed? ))
Keenan: yeah
DM: I'm sorry, this is fucking amazing.
Odran, now in an alley between two huts, continues to crawl away on his back, over the unconscious guards, as Thad stumbles forward and continues to thrash.
Thad: (( five foot step ))
* Grike rolls: d2 => 2
* Grike rolls: d20+8 => 1 + 8 = 9
DM: that actually misses
Thad: (( can't win them all ))
Keenan: crawl silently again
* Keenan rolls: d20-1 => 3 - 1 = 2
Keenan: oh come on
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 12 + 6 = 18
Thad: (( I seeeeee youuu ))
Meanwhile, Torg is still being tied up..
Torg: So you've already abandoned the cloth and admitted to your lecherous ways?
Odran: Help!
DM: the two villagers near you look like they want to help, but aren't looking to get beaten up either...
Oreuth: What is this?
Torg: This is who we would follow. My father, Joseph Tamourne.
Keenan: knew it
Oreuth: Your father? The priest?
Thad: (( Plot twist! ))
Keenan: knew it the second you say he gave into temptations of the flesh
Human Warrior 3: You what?
Joeseph Tamourne: I made some mistakes in my life. One of them was letting you live.
DM: alright, Odran's turn
Thad: (( so do you do anything besides 5 ft crawl? ))
Keenan: nope
Thad: (( my turn ))
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
That's a miss
Torg: Not surprising words, coming from a servant of death.
Torg: You act as if it was a mistake made once years ago, when you know it isn't true.
Torg: Caught in the act merely weeks ago.
lco: I understand you are angry Torg.
Oreuth: Why shouldn't he be? He lives under the rule of liars!
Joeseph Tamourne: I swear on Nerul if neither of you shut up...
Torg: What will you do? Strike a defenseless man?
Odran trys to crawl faster, but still fails to escape.
Thad: (( alright. My turn? ))
DM: yup
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
Keenan: yay
Thad: (( five foot step ))
DM: This is like a bad horror movie...
Keenan: a really bad and stupid horror movie
Oreuth: He has done it before.
lco: You fought to the last when we caught you.
Joeseph Tamourne: Tell me, what did you plan to do on that island?
Torg: It hardly matters now. The plan is already in motion.
Torg: I could show you.
Odran is still trying to crawl away, but is getting no further, but Thad still hasn't gotten a good hit.
Thad: Yield friend. This is fruitless
Thad: (( five foor step and attack ))
* Grike rolls: d2 => 2
* Grike rolls: d20+3 => 16 + 3 = 19
Keenan: thats a hit
Thad: (( You're guaranteed knocked out ))
Keenan: i am?
Thad: (( damage bonus of +4 even when not raging ))
Keenan: yeah, and i ahve 11 helath
Thad: (( oh my bad ))
* Grike rolls: 2d4+7 => 5 + 7 = 12
Keenan: thats enouhg
DM: Alright, do you try to run in and rescue Torg or anything?
Keenan: the question is, can you find the door
Thad: (( I know the layout of this town well enough fine? ))
Thad: (( right not fine ))
DM: Go to your highschool with a blindfold on and accurately walk to the front door
Thad: (( But I know where I am. I just need to run a hand against the wall ))
DM: true, but that might take a round or two. Are you gonna do it?
DM: also the bystanders run
Thad: (( I can move 40 ft per round. Sure ))
Keenan: yeah, even with your sepped halved
Thad: (( and I guess I bump into that guy ))
DM: ok, so a blind man walks into a room full of people who don't like him.
Thad: Oh hey there
DM: I mean, I don't know where you are going with this, but begin...
Human Warrior 3: Uhh...
Thad: Excuse me. Torg? Are you in here?
Thad: (( attempt to squeeze past him ))
Joeseph Tamourne: What are you waiting for: get him!
DM: make a grappple check with the guard
Torg: I'm here.
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 7 + 1 = 8
* Grike rolls: 1d6+8 => 4 + 8 = 12
* Grike rolls: 1d20+8 => 15 + 8 = 23
Thad: (( my bad ))
DM: do you just push past him?
Thad: (( I should have gotten an AoO before the attempt right? or are we not doing that? ))
DM: no, because you initiated the grapple when you tried to push past him
DM: but yeah, you are up next to Torg now.
Thad: Hi buddy
Thad: (( Odran is probs out for a while anyways ))
Torg: Hello.
Thad: So what's going on? I'm blind
Torg: I'm blind too. They want to see the water.
Thad: I'd honestly like to see anything right now
Torg: "see"
lco: If you cooperate this can be healed.
Thad: Ah. Heal me and you have my word that I will cooperate. Torg will have to speak for himself
Torg: I do believe it was this way...
DM: uhh, you're held buddy
Thad: (( I want to be able to see first ))
Torg: (( str check? ))
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 5 + 2 = 7
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 20 + 2 = 22
DM: nat 20 from Ico
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 20 + 6 = 26
Torg: (( SUCK ITTTTT ))
DM: ok, you break free, and I hate you
Torg burts out for the trough.
Keenan: do the others get an aoo on torg?
DM: the guard goes for it
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 1 + 1 = 2
Torg: (( HA ))
DM: but everyone else was in the grapple
DM: Tamourne attempts another grapple.
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 6 + 2 = 8
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 19 + 10 = 29
Thad tries to trip Tamourne as he runs by, but fails.
lco: let me tie you up and I swear I will heal you.
Thad: No. I do not trust Tamourne. Heal me and I will not further this conflict
lco: I'm afarid I can't do that.
DM: Torg's turn
Torg rushes across the central plaza for the trough.
DM: Thad, your action?
Thad: (( Can Oreuth and I make combined strength checks to burst the ropes? ))
DM: and sure, but it's friggin ropes, and that provokes
Keenan: is this your last turn of rage right?
DM: so yeah, what are you doing, and when does the rage run out?
Grike: Okay so I tumble behind oreuth to avoid AoO and then attempt to burst the rope. I have 2 turns left including this one
DM: roll it
* Grike rolls: d20+10 => 20 + 10 = 30
Grike: gonna say I made that
DM: yeah
The guard tries to grab Thad.
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 1 + 1 = 2
* Grike rolls: 1d20+5 => 2 + 5 = 7
DM: yeah no
DM: Tamourne channels
* DM rolls: 2d6 => 6
DM: human 14 tries to grapple
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 15
DM: I assume that hits touch
Torg: yeah
Torg: (( yea ))
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 14
DM: grapple check then
Torg: (( no AoO? ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+9 => 18 + 9 = 27

Oreuth: Not going anywhere without you
Thad and Oreuth start to flee while everyone is distracted.
DM: that's all from you two?
Grike: yep
Torg: (( not yet ))
Torg: (( any effects from the water take hold yet? ))
DM: not yet
Torg: OPEN YOUR MOUTH, THAD
Thad: Ahhhhh
DM: ?
Torg: (( Torg takes a big mouthful of water but doesn't swallow. ))
Torg: (( and then hops out. ))
DM: now done?
Grike: Can I have moved here instead?
DM: sure
Grike: cool
Torg: (( yeah. looks fair enough. ))
Torg: (( turn ))
Joeseph Tamourne: I'm really sorry it came to this...
* DM rolls: 2d6 => 8
Torg: (( sense motive ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
Grike: AoO from the half orc if he's hostile to Tamourne
Torg: (( scre me ))
Grike: From walking past
DM: no, he is loyal
DM: I am marking all rebels with a brown dot so we don't lose our minds
Grike: If he channels there then Torg should get an AoO too
DM: ok, so now he casts judgement 6/anti-mind 6 on you
DM: roll will save
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+2 => 16 + 2 = 18
DM: damn
Torg: (( HA ))
Several half-orcs are brawling with the remaining guards now.
DM: did Torg do anything?
Torg: (( not yet. waiting on you guys. ))
DM: well you are up
Keenan: god, the loyals have been rolling like shit
DM: that's a closed door, bub
Keenan: wait, how did you go 60 ft through people?
Torg: (( it says open ))
Torg: (( they get their AOOs. ))
Torg: I was just running.
Grike: Does he not just burst through?
Torg: (( what he said. ))
DM: double door
DM: and alright...
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 20 + 4 = 24
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 17 + 4 = 21
DM: crit from tamourne
* DM rolls: 2d8+4 => 15 + 4 = 19
Grike: Is Tamourne armed?
DM: longsword. quick draw.
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 16 + 1 = 17
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 3 + 2 = 5
DM: does the 17 hit?
Torg: (( yep ))
* DM rolls: 1d8 => 6
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 6 + 2 = 8
DM: and the last guy misses
Keenan: ah, thanks
DM: ok, is that all?
Torg: (( turn ))
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 18 + 2 = 20
* DM rolls: 1d8+1 => 3 + 1 = 4
DM: 4 damage to torg
DM: also, your penalties from the water turn back into bonuses
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 2 + 1 = 3
DM: and a miss on Thad
DM: Ico tries to stand. Roll AoO
* Grike rolls: d2 => 2
* Grike rolls: d20+7 => 14 + 7 = 21
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 13 + 2 = 15
* Grike rolls: d20+8 => 6 + 8 = 14
Grike: was the 15 his opposed strength?

Grike: alright no trip then
DM: and Adam, you are sighted now.
Grike: Bring me water friend!

* DM rolls: 1d6 => 5
The mob fights some more.
DM: ok, turn
Grike: Torg, do you plan to deliver water?
Torg: (( yeah. ))
Torg: (( trip that human first ))
* Grike rolls: d20+7 => 16 + 7 = 23
* Grike rolls: d20+8 => 9 + 8 = 17
Grike: I assumed the 23 was a hit. 17 is opposed STR
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 18
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 9 + 6 = 15
Torg: (( I spit in his mouth. ))
Torg: (( I don't suppose that's a free action, is it? ))
Grike: It should be
Keenan: can you find his mouth though
DM: Make a will save to take in Torg's passion even though your virtue wants to fight it.
DM: I'm gonna say free action
Keenan: i think you have no choise but to kiss
Grike: Yeah my virtue has worn off though
Torg: (( sweet. Now I'm going to gank these honorless fools. at least until I escape. ))
Keenan: doesnt torg have to grab thads head and angle it towards his to get the water in, isnt that an action?
DM: True. Now that your viture has faded (even though it has strenghted you), the passion from Torg's kiss fills you.
Keenan: oh yeah, not blind nvm
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+9 => 15 + 9 = 24
Torg: (( that's a knife attack on human warror 3.))
DM: what is that?
Grike: Sweetness. Any effects?
DM: not yet
DM: well that hits
* Boretos rolls: 1d4+5 => 3 + 5 = 8
Torg: This is madness!
Torg: (( what's oreuth up to? ))
Grike: Tied up
Joeseph Tamourne: You brought this upon us!
Assorted guards attacking...
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 13 + 1 = 14
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 19
* DM rolls: 1d3 => 2
Torg: End your lies to my people!
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 15 + 2 = 17
DM: does that hit Torg?
Keenan: what does ic o and tamourne do , do they cast something, or just channel more
DM: not at them yet.
Torg: (( yeah ))
* DM rolls: 1d8+1 => 3 + 1 = 4
DM: 4 damage to torg
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 5 + 4 = 9
* DM rolls: 1d20+3 => 8 + 3 = 11
* DM rolls: 1d8 => 5
Torg: (( can you mark the states of the other doors in the building? ))
Torg: (( you breaka my hart ))
DM: Ico channels...
* DM rolls: 1d6 => 3
DM: he casts 7 necro, 7 spirit
DM: roll reflex Torg
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 12 + 6 = 18
DM: now everyone in the line rolls fort
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 20 + 2 = 22
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 17
Grike: What line?
Torg: (( what line? ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+7 => 11 + 7 = 18
Keenan: wait isnt the guy in the middle with us?
Keenan: or will he aim the line so it'll go above him
Keenan: cause i imagine thats possible
Keenan: since hes on the gorund
Grike: So is Oreuth
Keenan: yeah, but he might prefer not killing the guy
Torg: (( Ico don't care. ))
DM: actually, no, he's doing friendly fire at this point. This is a desprate Ico.
Keenan: over getting oreuth
Thad: I thought better of you Ico. This is disappointing
DM: alright. Tamourne just channels
* DM rolls: 1d6 => 4
Grike: Our turn?
DM: ok, you guys
The three dive further into the palace.
Orcish Warrior 2: They are trying to break into the king's chambers!
Torg: (( I open this door. ))
Guards chase the exsausted duo through the wooden hallway, dealing a few damage in swings along the way. Oreuth is grabbed, but the other two run out into the village, Tamourne and a few guards chasing the whole way.
DM: turn
Grike: Any effect?
DM: not yet
Grike: turn
DM: Tamourne casts 3 body on himself.
DM: for his extra standard action, he tries to bull rush you into the wall.
Torg: (( go nuts. ))
Grike: Don't suppose I get an AoO
DM: no
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 8 + 2 = 10
Grike: okay
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
DM: the three of you slam into the wall, and all fall in the same square as a pile of bodies.
DM: turn
Keenan: whats going on with Ico, is he running away form the fight?
Joeseph Tamourne: YOU WILL NOT DESTORY MY VILLAGE!
Grike: Take him with us?
DM: no, he is healing people. In heavy armor, he knows he can't keep up.
Torg: You're doing that just fine on your own.
Torg: (( stand up. ))
Tamourne tries to slash at him from the ground, but to no avail.
Torg: (( I'm going to let Thad get out of the way before I whack this maniacs head off. ))
DM: so you can still tiredly hobble away
Grike: I stand and move over
Torg: (( I'm gonna go ahead and bring down the axe, if that's cool. ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+14 => 1 + 14 = 15
Torg: (( *SIGH* ))
DM: Tamourne 5ft crawls then attempts to stand
Grike: AoO
Grike: From both of us
DM: yeah
DM: he is gonna risk it
* Grike rolls: d2 => 2
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 17 + 10 = 27
* Boretos rolls: 1d12+9 => 3 + 9 = 12
Grike: You resolve first
* Grike rolls: d20+4 => 8 + 4 = 12
Grike: That beats touch prone AC right?
DM: hits touch
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 14 + 2 = 16
* Grike rolls: d20+5 => 12 + 5 = 17
Grike: Tripped
DM: ok then
* Grike rolls: 2d4+1 => 8 + 1 = 9
Grike: lethal
DM: he is just barely still together
DM: triple mook charge...
* DM rolls: 1d20+3 => 15 + 3 = 18
Torg: (( have fun face-tanking. ))
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 17 + 4 = 21
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 15 + 4 = 19
* DM rolls: 3d8+2 => 8 + 2 = 10
Grike: Was that all of them?
DM: and that's the loyalist's turn
DM: yup. There isn't too much left
Keenan: they attacked thatd instead of torg didnt they:9
DM: yes
Torg: (( can't reach me. ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 19 + 10 = 29
DM: I presume against your father?
Torg: (( yeah. screw that guy. ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d12+9 => 1 + 9 = 10
DM: to -9
Torg: (( min damage ftw ))
Grike: Now I leap on your back and we flee?
DM: that provokes...
Grike: tumble
Grike: ?
DM: on top of someone?
Torg: (( do you think you could face tank one more round? ))
Grike: I have 11 health. I doubt it
DM: DC 30. And Torg has to pass DC 20 STR to take you in a smooth motion while blocking attacks
Grike: How about a five foot step into his square and then a standard action to climb on his back?
Grike: I'll make a climb check
DM: that would just provoke from the human on Torg
DM: I don't require a climb check for this
Grike: One provoke is better than three. I can't make a DC 30
Torg: (( not when the provoke is on me with 5hp. ))
Grike: The provoke is on me thoguh right?
DM: nope
DM: bending over to have a guy jump on you provokes too
Torg takes 5ft step.
Torg: (( how about now? ))
DM: ok
Grike: Good?
DM: just provokes once for Thad
Grike: But I'm moving into his space
DM: assuming you are smart and go there
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 3 + 1 = 4
DM: and he misses anyhow
Torg: (( turn. ))
The duo try to run, with Thad jumping on Torg's back (Thad is now too tired to run at full speed). The guards almost catch them, and deal 8 more damage to Thad, but they manage to get away.
DM: and now for poor Tamourne...
* DM rolls: 1d10 => 3
Tamourne Bleeds to death, some 50ft from the palace, and a house away from Undren and Torg's home.
Torg: (( HAAA ))
DM: only death of this battle
Torg: (( worth ))
Grike: Because I'm so nice
DM: ok, roll STR Torg
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 5 + 1 = 6
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 11 + 6 = 17
DM: ok, +5
DM: run away
DM: and at this point by law of large numbers you escape after all.
Grike: W00T
DM: I honestly didn't think that was going to happen
Torg: (( neither did I ))
Keenan: i still think you should ahve been stricter with blindness
Grike: The Blind Spanker strikes again
DM: Also, the water gives you your sight back in time, but it doesn't fix your exsaustion
Torg: I knew giving them the water was a stupid idea.
DM: Well, I was debating not having the water heal, but it does give a CON bonus, which is like healing.
Thad: They'll learn the power of Grumish in time
Torg: (( I guess that did save our bacon. ))
Keenan: just wondering, is that it for today
DM: yeah
Thad: All-Nighter!
Keenan: good, see ya later guys
Torg: (( WOO ))
DM: definitely one of the more interesting sessions I have seen
Thad: I think that's worth a level personally
Boretos: sorry about knocking you out, keenan
Keenan: no worries, jsut annoyed more about the stupidity of others, namedly tamourne for not beatin torg unconscious when he was stunned
DM: yeah, Thad totally levels. the others may as well. Keenan in particular wrecked some shit before getting wrecked himself.
Grike: Nobody escapes the Blind Spanker
DM: He was hoping he could just tie him up and be able to talk to him then, as they were running low on spells.
Keenan: if i had help instead of havin to solo, it mgiht have worked, im cc, not dmaage
DM: Note that they only channeled 3rd one time.
Keenan: thats why you beat him with a mace or the flat of a sword
DM: You would have won had Tadryn been alive...
Boretos: stupid tadryn.
Boretos: you all have fallen prey to the same trap.
Boretos: Don't attack Torg.
Keenan: it was not a good idea to leave me alone to fihgt, and to not beat torg.
DM: you were each one hit away from going down
Boretos: but we didn't.
Grike: Death toll could have been five at least
DM: a few less ones from me and you would be dead. And the campaign would have ended with only Odran
Boretos: but it didn't.
Boretos: Truly Grumish is on our side.
DM: I feel like I need to be more mean to you. You have narrowly escaped death one too many times...
Grike: So what are the eventual stat bonuses from the water
Grike: ?
DM: just +1 to all physicals
Boretos: modifiers, that is.
Keenan is disconnected.
Grike: Temporary or permanent?
DM: temp
Grike: Also no speed boost?
DM: that was unique to the situation. Your unique situation was being blind.
Grike: Fair enough. So do I have blindsight now or something?
Grike: That'd be pretty cool
DM: no, just vision
Boretos: not even lowlight vision, human scum.
DM: see you guys
Boretos: later!
DM is disconnected.
Grike: Kiss my shiny bonus feat!
Boretos: good session.
Boretos: I kinda don't want to level
Grike: No? Why not?
Boretos: The higher level we get, the worse our progression is.
Grike: But the cooler stuff we have
Boretos: Just remember: every time we level up, the spells we face are going to get even worse.
Boretos: disproportionally so.
Grike: Yeah but I don't think Odran levels because he just got to three so we're still ahead. I plan to have dimensional door if I get far enough so I can teleport next to any caster
Boretos: how are you going to get dimensional door?
Grike: Prestige into Horizon Walker if Brian lets us get far enough
Boretos: I don't think this campaign will go on long enough to prestige.
Grike: Probably not but a plan is a plan
Boretos: for sure.
Grike: Tripping is satisfactorily OP for me anyways
Boretos: Yeah. I had fun abusing that mechanic.
Grike: I was hoping that Brian would give me my choice of physical attribute like he did you. I was going to pick size
Boretos: That's only a temporary buff anyway. I wouldn't have been able to carry you.
Grike: Yeah, I was just looking for the boost to tripping
Boretos: I think getting some rest would have been more beneficial.
Boretos: Hopefully we can sleep safely.
Grike: Probably. I'm a sucker for the wow factor. We should probably go off in another direction from the lake
Boretos: Oh yeah.
Grike: Regardless, it's way past my bed time. I'll talk to you later
Boretos: Alright. have a good night.
Grike is disconnected.
