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
|
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!
|
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+2 => 4 + 2 = 6
Torg: (( I punch her in the face. ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 10 + 10 = 20
* Boretos rolls: 1d3+7 => 3 + 7 = 10
Keenan:
|
do i know thier relation at all?
|
|
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 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
Keenan:
|
I stand over her, take total defence
positon, and ask
|
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
|
|
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
|
Keenan:
|
I knock a bit harder
|
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.
|
|
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:
|
We head to the lake
|
DM:
|
immediately? It's almost midnight...
|
DM:
|
also, you have recruited a few more
followers from in town over the last couple days
|
Boretos:
|
Well, we'll stay the night through and
head over tomorrow.
|
Boretos:
|
Keeping a full watch.
|
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:
|
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?
|
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.
|
DM:
|
soon people begin to retreat. You
can't be sure it's clear, but it sure is quiet...
|
Grike:
|
Alright I proceed cautiously
|
* 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
|
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 13 + 6 = 19
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
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
* 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:
|
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
|

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 rolls: 1d20+1 => 4 + 1 = 5
* Grike rolls: d20-1 => 19 - 1 = 18
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? ))
Thad: (( does he have further interest in me? ))
|
Orcish Warrior:
|
What's your name?
|
Boretos:
|
dare you to say Torg.
|
|
Thad:
|
Isn't it obvious? I'm Torg the rebel!
|
Thad: (( heaaavy sarcasm ))
|
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? ))
Thad: (( initiative? ))
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 17
* Grike rolls: d20+3 => 13 + 3 = 16
Thad: (( I didn't know that! ))
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 4 + 2 = 6
Thad: (( withdraw ))
|
Orcish Warrior:
|
Intruder! Get him!
|
Boretos:
|
I kinda have line of sight.
|
Thad falls back while Torg moves in.
|
Orcish Warrior 2:
|
Halt!
|
|
Old half-orc 18:
|
What the?
|
Thad: (( a distraction would be ideal ))
Boretos:
|
can I intimidate as part of a run?
|
Boretos:
|
how about general screaming?
|
DM:
|
a charge yes, but a run no
|
DM:
|
and Grike, measure that out. If you
click down your mousewheel you can do multi part moves
|
Thad: (( my turn is over ))
|
Orcish Warrior:
|
It's Torg!
|
Thad: (( he doesn't see me right? ))
Thad: (( yeah, I'm around the corner from him ))
Thad: (( and can I ready another move for when he
rounds the corner? ))
Thad: (( that then ))
Torg: (( Torg unleashes a mighty roar ))
|
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.
|
Torg: (( hmmm.... ))
Torg: (( Upon seeing Thad, I stop withdrawing. ))
DM:
|
the warriors both charge you
|
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 2 + 2 = 4
|
Orcish Warrior 2:
|
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
|
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
|
Torg:
|
The one who swung.
|
Thad: (( that was forty around the building too ))
* Grike rolls: d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
Thad: (( move silently ))
|
Torg:
|
Cease your foolish attack!
|
Thad: (( then 16 ))
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
* Grike rolls: d20+10 => 3 + 10 = 13
DM:
|
ok, amazingly this guy gets to try
counter trip...
|
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 8
* Grike rolls: d20+10 => 17 + 10 = 27
DM:
|
you have improved trip anyway
|
Thad: (( right ))
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 13
Thad: (( nope ))
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!
|
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 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
|
* 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:
|
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 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? ))
* 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.
|
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. ))
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:
|
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:
|
then it's their turn?
|
|
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 rolls: 1d10 => 5
* DM rolls: 1d10 => 2

DM:

|
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
|
Torg: (( guess. ))
Thad: (( I was also attacked for the crime of
being sassy ))
DM:
|
alright, skiping to next morning...
|
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:
|
Adam and Matt, do you have any
particular plans? At this point you guys are leading the plot
|
Boretos:
|
I'm willing to head back to camp and
check on things.
|
Torg and Thad return to their island base.
DM:
|
you arrive late in the evening to
discover your raft has been smashed.
|
Boretos:
|
intelligent smashing?
|
Boretos:
|
or animal smashing?
|
DM:
|
Clear signs of tools.
|
|
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 ))
* 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? ))
|
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 ))
* 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:
|
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.
|
Torg: (( did they ever patch up the big hole in
the prison? ))
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:
|
someone shouts that it's Torg at this
point
|
Torg: (( how's the wall? ))
It's fixed.
Torg: (( aw ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+3 => 20 + 3 = 23

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

Thad: (( turn ))
Torg: (( I'm gonna bull rush Tamourne. ))
DM:
|

|
|
Torg:
|

|
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 2 + 4 = 6
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 17 + 2 = 19
* 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:
|
ico channels positive
|
* DM rolls: 3d6 => 9
Keenan:
|
i channel necromancy
|
* Keenan rolls: 2d6 => 7
Keenan:
|
i quick channel frost
|
* Keenan rolls: d6-1 => 1 - 1 = 0
Keenan:
|
i cast judgement 4, law 4, necromancy 4
|
Keenan:
|
then go in for the touch attck
|
Keenan:
|
it automatically hits due to judgemtn
|
* 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:
|
Your drinks wear off. Torg now has a
-1 to all physicals, while Thad has +1
|
Thad: (( boo yah! ))
Torg: (( just 1? ))
DM:
|
your other effects remain in play
|
Torg: (( modifier or raw score? ))
DM:
|
err modifier. -2 in score
|
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
))
Torg: (( Can I talk while stunned? ))
Thad: (( can't take actions ))
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
Thad: (( that was the touch attack for a trip ))
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 6
* Grike rolls: d20+8 => 9 + 8 = 17
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 9
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? ))
* 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:
|
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
|
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.
Thad moves forward after the sound of Odran's crawling.
Thad: (( is there a nonlethal equivalent of a
coup de grace? ))
Keenan:
|
but thats when helpless, not prone
|
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
|
* Grike rolls: 2d4+7 => 4 + 7 = 11
Keenan:
|
so roll your miss chance
|
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
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? ))
|
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?
|
* Keenan rolls: d20-1 => 11 - 1 = 10
* 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? ))
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
Thad: (( can't win them all ))
Keenan:
|
crawl silently again
|
* Keenan rolls: d20-1 => 3 - 1 = 2
* 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.
|
|
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? ))
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? ))
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
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
Thad: (( You're guaranteed knocked out ))
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
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
* 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:
|

|
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.
|
Torg rushes across the central plaza for the trough.
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
|
* Grike rolls: d20+10 => 20 + 10 = 30
Grike:
|

|
The guard tries to grab Thad.
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 1 + 1 = 2
* Grike rolls: 1d20+5 => 2 + 5 = 7
* DM rolls: 2d6 => 6
DM:
|

|
|
Torg:
|

|
Torg: (( yea ))
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 14
Torg: (( no AoO? ))
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+9 => 18 + 9 = 27
DM:
|

|
Torg: (( naw, it's cool, I just dodge him. ))
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 13 + 1 = 14
* DM rolls: 1d20+3 => 7 + 3 = 10
Torg: (( Torg tumbles into the water. ))
Torg: (( and swallows a mouthful ))
|
Thad:
|
It doesn't have to be this way
|
DM:
|
meanwhile the half-orc takles the human
|
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 10 + 1 = 11
* DM rolls: 1d3+1 => 2 + 1 = 3
* DM rolls: 1d20+1 => 8 + 1 = 9
* DM rolls: 1d20 => 6
Torg: (( Woo! Half orc buddies! ))
* Grike rolls: d2 => 1
|
Thad:
|
tumble over the human to escape
|
Grike:
|
Or actually move through Oreuth and
tumble past
|
|
Oreuth:
|
Not going anywhere without you
|
Thad and Oreuth start to flee while everyone is distracted.
DM:
|
that's all from you two?
|
Torg: (( not yet ))
Torg: (( any effects from the water take hold
yet? ))
|
Torg:
|
OPEN YOUR MOUTH, THAD
|
|
Thad:
|
Ahhhhh
|
Torg: (( Torg takes a big mouthful of water but
doesn't swallow. ))
Torg: (( and then hops out. ))
Grike:
|
Can I have moved here instead?
|
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 ))
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
|
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+2 => 16 + 2 = 18
Torg: (( HA ))
Several half-orcs are brawling with the remaining guards now.
DM:
|

|
Torg: (( not yet. waiting on you guys. ))
Keenan:
|
god, the loyals have been rolling like
shit
|
DM:
|

|
Keenan:
|

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 rolls: 1d20+4 => 20 + 4 = 24
* DM rolls: 1d20+4 => 17 + 4 = 21
* DM rolls: 2d8+4 => 15 + 4 = 19

* Grike rolls: d20+7 => 16 + 7 = 23
* Grike rolls: d20+8 => 9 + 8 = 17

|
* 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? ))
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.))
Grike:

Sweetness. Any effects?
|
* Boretos rolls: 1d4+5 => 3 + 5 = 8

|
Keenan:

above him
|
Keenan:
|
cause i imagine thats possible
|
Keenan:
|
since hes on the gorund
|
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
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:
|
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 rolls: 1d20+2 => 8 + 2 = 10
* 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.
|
Keenan:
|
whats going on with Ico, is he running
away form the fight?
|
|
Joeseph Tamourne:
|
YOU WILL NOT DESTORY MY VILLAGE!
|
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 rolls: d2 => 2
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+10 => 17 + 10 = 27
* Boretos rolls: 1d12+9 => 3 + 9 = 12
* Grike rolls: d20+4 => 8 + 4 = 12
Grike:
|
That beats touch prone AC right?
|
* DM rolls: 1d20+2 => 14 + 2 = 16
* Grike rolls: d20+5 => 12 + 5 = 17
* Grike rolls: 2d4+1 => 8 + 1 = 9
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
|
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
Torg: (( min damage ftw ))
Grike:
|
Now I leap on your back and we flee?
|
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:
|
bending over to have a guy jump on you
provokes too
|
Torg takes 5ft step.
Torg: (( how about now? ))
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
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 rolls: 1d20+1 => 5 + 1 = 6
* Boretos rolls: 1d20+6 => 11 + 6 = 17
DM:
|
and at this point by law of large
numbers you escape after all.
|
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
|
|
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:
|
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
|
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:
|
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
|
DM:
|
just +1 to all physicals
|
Boretos:
|
modifiers, that is.
|
Keenan is disconnected.
Grike:
|
Temporary or permanent?
|
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
|
Boretos:
|
not even lowlight vision, human scum.
|
DM is disconnected.
Grike:
|
Kiss my shiny bonus feat!
|
Boretos:
|
I kinda don't want to level
|
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
|
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
|
Grike:
|
Regardless, it's way past my bed time.
I'll talk to you later
|
Boretos:
|
Alright. have a good night.
|
Grike is disconnected.
