Adam has connected.

Brian:

alright, that's two out of two.

Brian:

Just a moment and I should be ready. Do you guys have a memory of where we left off?

Jaden:

Best I can remember we were leaving the castle

Adam:

Emita whispered in my ear

Jaden:

Ah yes, that was it

Brian:

Cool, then that means you guys remember things to a good level of detail.

Brian:

I assume nobody does anything unusuall before heading out onto the open road

Jaden:

I'd ask if I could get a weapon or something

Brian:

They ask what kind of weapon you want

Jaden:

Short Bow

Brian:

You have it. They even throw in some arrows.

Jaden:

Great

Adam:

a quiver too?

Brian:

Yes. Also, everybody has a horse at this point, as well as a pack with rations for 4 days, and 10 gp to buy more supplies as needed. It's over a week before you manage to arrive at Glenswood

Jaden:

Do you care about arrow counts, or is that irrelevant?

Adam:

can I have sold the gear I picked up?

Brian:

In order, it won't count unless you start to burn a ton, and did you write down what you picked up?

Adam:

I did

Adam:

3 Battle Axes 9 pts Chain Mai

Brian:

Both are in poor condition, and the axes sell for 3gp each, whereas the chain is some 4gp per point

Brian:

Any other stuff y'all're up to?

Adam:

spending my gold...

Adam is disconnected.

Jaden:

Since I'd rather pay attention to how many arrows I use than not and start to use too many

Brian:

You have 20 then

Jaden:

That works

Jaden:

Other than that, I suppose I'll just be focusing on riding my horse, as I'm not good at it, and trying to study the arrows in hopes of bottomless pocketing some later on

Brian:

hmm, wise...

Jaden:

If that doesn't work, I always have whittling to fall back on

Brian:

If you whittle wood into a goose feather you should get a new career

Jaden:

Ah, but you see, that's what trapping and tracking skills are for

Jaden:

Mm, I had a question about experience as well, did I get anything from the previous sessions, I believe you mentioned something once, but I forgot to mark it down

Brian:

you got 20

Adam has connected.

Jaden:

Alright, thanks

Brian:

he lives!

Brian:

alright, what you buyin boy?

Adam2 has connected.

Brian:

alright, what you buyin boy?

Adam2:

is there any disadvantage to wearing two partial sets of armor?

Adam is disconnected.

Brian:

nope

Adam2:

cool

Brian:

but it can't add up to wearing more than 100% of a suit, obviously

Adam2 is disconnected.

Brian:

Jesus christ...

Jaden:

And there he goes again

Jaden:

I think

Brian:

this might be a rough day

Jaden:

Cerim has had trouble sleeping the past few nights and is dozing on and off during the day

Jaden:

While we're travelling

Jaden:

Easy explanation

Brian:

mid conversation though?

Jaden:

He's had a lot of trouble sleeping

Brian:

I should just do everything in solos, and patch events together.

Adam has connected.

Jaden:

I mean, I don't mind

Adam:

okay, I think I fixed it

Adam:

now where's my toekn?

Adam:

thank you

Brian:

np

Adam:

2 points of plate, I will buy

Brian:

Alright, any other pre-roadtrip antics?

Jaden:

No I think I'm good on antics for now

Adam:

wait, can I trade in my points of banded for a discount?

Brian:

your banded points are worth half price

Brian:

the guard keeps them in good condition

Adam:

so plate is 20-6=14gp

Adam:

55/14=

Brian:

that said, to wear the two points of plate, you need to take off two points of banded to fit it...

Brian:

but you do get a point of speed back from that

Brian:

I don't understand what that 55/14 is...

Adam is disconnected.

Adam2 has connected.

Adam2:

wait, plate mail is 2 more points than banded

Adam2:

how do I factor in the AC bonus?

Brian:

So 100% of a suit of plate is 8 points, 100% of a suit of banded (which you have now) is 6 points. 2 points of plate would be 25% of your body, so you would need to take 25% of your banded off.

Brian:

that ends up rounding up to 2 points of banded for two points of plate. Which does save you a point of speed, but doesn't help with WAC

Adam2:

What about 3 points of plate?

Adam2:

I might have the cash for that

* Brian rolls: 3/8 => 3 / 8 = 0.375

* Brian rolls: 2/6 => 2 / 6 = 0.3333333333333333333333333333333333

Brian:

you would still just need to take off three points of banded. You could trade 3 banded for 4 plate though

Adam2:

that would be 80-18gp

* Adam2 rolls: 80-18 => 80 - 18 = 62

* Adam2 rolls: 62-55 => 62 - 55 = 7

Adam2:

need 7 more gp for that

Jaden:

I'd give you the 7 extra if you asked me

Jaden:

Or if I were standing around and saw the exchange

Brian:

Do you make a show of being poor in front of Artyom long enough that he gets the hint?

Adam2:

No, I'd do it in front of Ephnyr

Adam2:

He'd love to be my sugar daddy

Adam2:

He's the one who probably took me to the smith, after all.

Sir Ephnyr:

See, if you were my squire we would have you fitted in proper elven full plate the moment you proved yourself worthy with a sword...

Sir Ephnyr:

But here, *turns to smith and throws down 7gp*. I'll cover the rest.

Cerim Potter:

That's very generous of you, Sir Ephnyr.

Cerim Potter:

*grits teeth*

Sir Ephnyr:

You owe me.

Cerim Potter:

gods...

Brian:

he grins, and talks to the smith's apprentice about the damage his own armor has taken

Brian:

alright, any OTHER other antics?

Jaden:

If we're on the road Artyom would consider asking "Are we there yet?" a few times, but keep it to himself

Jaden:

Other than that no antics

Brian:

Well Ephnyr actually talks to you the day after you leave, while still on the ride.

Sir Ephnyr:

Riding a horse isn't that tricky you know.

Sir Ephnyr:

The more you relax in the saddle, the harder it is to fall out

Artyom Cooper:

I'll take your advice

Artyom Cooper:

Because it's been terribly uncomfortable so far

Sir Ephnyr:

Alright, you do want to keep the crown jewels a little loose from the steed. That's no good for you either.

Jaden:

I tentatively relax into the saddle, then tense up again as I start to feel the swaying of the horse

Artyom Cooper:

I'll ease into it

Sir Ephnyr:

Not a knight I can tell.

Sir Ephnyr:

If it doesn't get me too wrapped up in politics, can I ask where you're from?

Artyom Cooper:

Tinsboro

Sir Ephnyr:

And what did you do there?

Artyom Cooper:

I made barrels

Adam2 is disconnected.

Artyom Cooper:

And butter churns, and other things of the sort

Artyom Cooper:

I'm a cooper

Sir Vilrays:

How did you know you gained the favor of our lord?

Artyom Cooper:

Hm? The favor of who?

Jaden:

I'm still mostly focusing on trying to ride the horse

Sir Vilrays:

Correlon Lorathien. You were sent to us straight from the high priestess, so you must be very blessed...

Artyom Cooper:

Oh, I'm a rather skilled scout

Artyom Cooper:

And a half decent shot with a bow

Sir Vilrays:

Is Tinsboro in the south?

Artyom Cooper:

South of the capital, yes

Brian:

Sir Ephnyr apparently finds that quite funny.

Sir Ephnyr:

I had assumed that the Order would have known more about the wonder boy that I did, to be honest.

Sir Vilrays:

Our order works on trust, rather than information. It keeps us all safer.

Sir Ephnyr:

Well I hope you serve us well, Artyom of Tinsboro. I have no idea what information my man-at-arms will have for us there.

Adam has connected.

Artyom Cooper:

I'll try my best

Brian:

Ok, anything else before we get to Glenswood?

Adam:

I'm good

Jaden:

I'm fine

Jaden:

Other than being bad at riding horses

Brian:

alright, so you arrive in town.

Sir Ephnyr:

Alright, time to hunt for my man. I know the inn he was staying at before, so I suggest we start there.

Artyom Cooper:

What does he look like?

Artyom Cooper:

I can keep an eye out as we walk along the streets, it's still a chance we may run into him just walking along

Sir Ephnyr:

Blonde human, kind of on the shorter side, but strong.

Cerim Potter:

What kind of town is Glenswood?

Sir Ephnyr:

Dressed like a commoner, but had a greatsword. That was unusual.

Sir Ephnyr:

What do you mean?

Cerim Potter:

What sort of industry is here? Racial makeup?

Artyom Cooper:

Prosperity might be a good thing to throw in

Sir Ephnyr:

Umm, I don't really know. Were you briefed Artyom?

Sir Ephnyr:

I only spent a day here.

Artyom Cooper:

I was not

Cerim Potter:

A blind op. This should be fun.

Sir Vilrays:

Our mission is to gather information.

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

And our lord is never blind.

Artyom Cooper:

I think he meant

Artyom Cooper:

Oh nevermind

Sir Ephnyr:

Well, I can ask for Garen on my own while you get a lay of the land, if you would like.

Artyom Cooper:

I do happen to have the need to stretch my legs

Artyom Cooper:

I think that would be a great idea

Sir Vilrays:

I would like to stay with you, sir Ephnyr. You never know what danger we might come across...

Sir Ephnyr:

As you wish

Brian:

He leads his horse off from the main group, and that knight follows.

Cerim Potter: (( Who's in charge now? ))

Brian:

great question

Brian:

you guys never stopped and organized a chain of command

Cerim Potter: (( are the faceless mooks knights? ))

Brian:

yup

Brian:

Order of Blood knights

Cerim Potter: (( Knights outrank me. ))

Jaden:

Artyom just dismounts and starts striding towards the city

Artyom Cooper:

Can you take care of my horse for me? Thanks

Jaden:

He waves casually without looking back

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

You got it.

Cerim Potter: (( I'll trot alongside him ))

Artyom Cooper:

You know there's a point for me going into the city alone

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

*to the others* Let's find a stable then visit the temple.

Cerim Potter:

I'm not a mind reader.

Artyom Cooper:

I look like a commoner, because I am one, so I won't attract attention

Artyom Cooper:

Now someone in armor such as yours comes in, riding a horse

Cerim Potter:

I understand.

Artyom Cooper:

That's sure to turn some eyes

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

*not hearing you guys* Let's all meet up at the temple of Correlon Lorethian, you hear!?!?

Cerim Potter:

*back to them* Wait for me!

Jaden:

Artyom gives him a thumbs up from the distance

Brian:

alright, which side of the party split do we handle first?

* Adam rolls: 1d100 => 20

* Jaden rolls: 1d100 => 99

Cerim Potter: (( his ))

Brian:

I'll tell you now that unless Cerim wants to do something very strange, Artyom's is more interesting, and the only one that might involve secret info.

Brian:

Ehh, screw it, Cerim will find out soon enough

Brian:

As you come into town, you notice the streets nearly empty.

Brian:

Only a few folks walk around, and they seem more quiet than you would expect

Jaden:

I look up at the sun, trying to figure out what time it is

Brian:

It's late morning.

Jaden:

Not directly at the sun, mind you

Jaden:

I'm going to stop the first person I see that doesn't seem too agitated and try to ask them what's going on

elf noble 14:

You haven't seen?

Artyom Cooper:

I haven't

Artyom Cooper:

What's happening?

elf noble 14:

The moon of our lord shone blood red a few nights ago, and cast her beam directly on the church of Nerul.

elf noble 14:

Then someone saw a shadow come into town and fly right through the walls to get in.

elf noble 14:

There's been an angry mob trapping in the congregation ever since.

Artyom Cooper:

I see, that's very worrying indeed

elf noble 14:

You don't think Corellon Lorethian is really angry, do you?

Artyom Cooper:

I do not

Artyom Cooper:

Where is his temple in this town? I wish to speak to some of the people there

elf noble 14:

I'll take you

Artyom Cooper:

Please, show the way

Brian:

the temple door is closed, and nobody responds when your new friend knocks.

Artyom Cooper:

Is there anything more you might know that's happened in this town recently?

Artyom Cooper:

Anything strange or out of place?

elf noble 14:

Please tell me you heard about the dead rising...

Artyom Cooper:

I have. That is a great trouble indeed, however, surely it isn't so close to this town, is it?

elf noble 14:

There was a pair of men who claimed it happened in Ensiph.

elf noble 14:

And that a hand grabbed a boy when he was in the graveyard.

elf noble 14:

I still don't belive it though...

Artyom Cooper:

I'm not sure if I can believe it myself, but with such strange times...

Artyom Cooper:

Do you know where these two men are now?

elf noble 14:

I have no idea.

elf noble 14:

I've been trying to stay away from this uglyness.

Artyom Cooper:

I can imagine you would be

Artyom Cooper:

Anyway, you've done me a great service, take a gold for your trouble

elf noble 14:

*chuckles* Buddy, you look like you could use it more than me.

elf noble 14:

If you're gonna go confront the angry mob though, I'm happy to hold on to your gold for when you get mugged.

Artyom Cooper:

That may well be, but I sill think it was worth something to me, so please, take it. I'll take my chances with the mob though

Brian:

He rolls his eyes and takes your coin

Jaden:

I'm going to remember this location and wander off to wherever there seems to be a drinking establishment, namely an inn or tavern

Brian:

roll a 1d3

* Jaden rolls: 1d3 => 1

Brian:

You find a lodge that seems mostly occupied by hunters. It's amost deserted

Jaden:

I'm going to go ask the bartender for a drink and information about the town, and about how much that'd all cost

Shaggy bartender:

Look, it kind of late for a chat.

Shaggy bartender:

It's 5 copper or two pinches of salt for an ale.

Artyom Cooper:

In that case could you at least point me towards someone who might have such information?

Shaggy bartender:

They always like to chat at the Boar's Bastard...

Artyom Cooper:

Thanks

Jaden:

With that, I slide out of the door to go search for the Boar's Bastard

Brian:

it takes you a while, but you get there. This place, however, only has a single customer inside.

Artyom Cooper:

Hello, do you know anything about what's going on in the town recently?

Villager:

Not from here?

Artyom Cooper:

No, just got here and I've heard some worrying things

Artyom Cooper:

I figured I should try to find out more

Villager:

The church has been doing some crazy shit and the temple wants to kick them out.

Villager:

They've been laying the damn church under seige for some reason.

Jaden:

I see, so that's what the mob's about

Jaden:

I mean

Villager:

What brings you to town, stranger?

Artyom Cooper:

I'm here to conduct some business

Artyom Cooper:

Luckily I found a group to travel with to make my way here

Artyom Cooper:

What reason does the temple have to attempt to drive out the church?

Artyom Cooper:

I've heard of the strange lights from the moon and the shadow from someone else

Artyom Cooper:

Is there anything more?

Villager:

Well, you know that the churches don't get along too well.

Villager:

And Correllon Lorethien obviously is concerned for the safety of the village.

Artyom Cooper:

Concerned for the safety of the village how? Because of the recent reports of living dead?

Villager:

Yes.

Artyom Cooper:

So that's how it is

Brian:

You sense that he's hiding something

Artyom Cooper:

There's nothing more?

Jaden:

Artyom takes the moment to look him directly in the eye as he asks this

Villager:

No, of course not.

Villager:

I'm not one of those crazy Torgists or Nerulite extremists.

Villager:

Do you see me down in that mob?

Artyom Cooper:

No of course not, that's why I'm talking to you

Artyom Cooper:

You seem to be one of the few who's actually keeping themselves together around this time

Villager:

Thanks

Artyom Cooper:

Is there really nothing else you can tell me?

Artyom Cooper:

I really thought it couldn't be as simple as you described it

Villager:

I don't know nothing more, I swear.

Artyom Cooper:

Then is there anything else you know about the two sides in general?

Artyom Cooper:

I know the churches are usually at each other's throats, however I didn't think they'd go this far

Artyom Cooper:

Something must have riled them up more than usual

Villager:

Well, that's what red moons and tales of the living dead will do.

Villager:

People have been stirring up trouble all over the place. There's even stories of shadows of evil and hunters dissapearing.

Artyom Cooper:

Do you think these could be more than stories?

Villager:

I...I don't know. What do you think?

Artyom Cooper:

I'm not sure, it seems impossible

Artyom Cooper:

However, we live in strange times

Villager:

Not as strange as before the king came.

Villager:

I was barely old enough to remember the Goblin wars, but damn were they freaky.

Artyom Cooper:

Is there anything happening now that was similar to what happened during those wars?

Villager:

Not at all.

Villager:

Nobody is turning into big green monsters

Artyom Cooper:

I'd say people rising from the dead is about as freaky as big green monsters

Villager:

We've never seen it happen, you know.

Artyom Cooper:

Ah, but I've never seen anyone turn into a big green monster

* Adam rolls: 1d20+2-4 => 7 + 2 - 4 = 5

* Brian rolls: 1d20+1 => 4 + 1 = 5

Brian:

roll off

* Brian rolls: 1d20 => 13

* Adam rolls: 1d20 => 4

Jaden:

me as well?

Villager:

But there was proof of that... no, you're right.

Villager:

I'm no priest, this isn't my place to decide

Brian:

no, not you

Jaden:

okay

Artyom Cooper:

Well, since you've told me all you can, I'll be going now

Artyom Cooper:

Still wish I could find out more though

Jaden:

I slowly exit, not too slowly as to be suspicious, but slowly enough to give him time to say something if he wishes

Brian:

You have never seen a man so focused on a nearly-cold pork pot pie in your life

Jaden:

With that, I head back to the place with all the hunters

Brian:

There were like two guys in there before, and now there's literally nobody but the shaggy bartender

Artyom Cooper:

Have any of your usual patrons gone missing?

Shaggy bartender:

Who wants to know?

Artyom Cooper:

Someone who hunts himself and is concerned of any possible dangers in the woods

Shaggy bartender:

You don't look tough enough to be a hunter...

Artyom Cooper:

I've got the bow, don't I?

Artyom Cooper:

And to be fair, I tend to set traps more than hunt, but both require a long time spent in the woods

Shaggy bartender:

Yeah, we lost two in a hunting trip. I don't know what happened to them though, if that's what your after.

Artyom Cooper:

That's a shame, do you know if there's anyone who I can ask who would know?

Shaggy bartender:

No, I don't

Shaggy bartender:

Now if you don't mind, I need to close up shop.

Artyom Cooper:

Okay, I'll be going then

Artyom Cooper:

Have a good day

Brian:

he doesn't even grunt

Jaden:

With that, I'm going to go and meet up with Cerim and the others

Jaden:

At the temple

Brian:

nobody at the temple.

Artyom Cooper:

Huh

Jaden:

In that case I'll knock

Jaden:

Shake the door a bit

Jaden:

If the knock doesnt work

Brian:

it opens, and a man clearly marked as a preist stands before you.

Brian:

He just stares at you, as though you are about to tell him the meaning of life.

Artyom Cooper:

May I come in?

Father Austliem:

Come

Artyom Cooper:

I wanted to ask you about the church with the mob around it

Artyom Cooper:

Is it true that the moon shone blood red upon it a few nights ago?

Father Austliem:

It is. I've been praying on what to do about it for two days.

Artyom Cooper:

I see

Artyom Cooper:

Then are the other rumors true as well?

Artyom Cooper:

The living dead, the shadows?

Father Austliem:

Our lord has told me so. And he has told me it is time to act.

Artyom Cooper:

And you believe the church of Nerul is responsible?

Father Austliem:

Our lord has told me so.

Artyom Cooper:

So, that's why the mob is surrounding them, thank you

Artyom Cooper:

There should be some others arriving soon, if they haven't already been here

Artyom Cooper:

Have you seen a couple of knights?

Father Austliem:

Not since before I locked myself away.

Father Austliem:

But enough talking. I must go to the church and do the lord's work.

Artyom Cooper:

Do what you must then

Brian:

he leaves

Jaden:

I'm assuming he locks up the temple while he's gone?

Brian:

no, actually

Jaden:

I'm going to take a look around

Brian:

alright then, I'm going to pause your side here.

Brian:

you can spectate, or I can trust you not to meta

Brian:

your call

Cerim Potter: (( ready and waiting ))

Jaden:

I'm going to go do something else, I can always scroll through, but I'm good enough at not writing down information I haven't found myself

Jaden:

I'll check every once in a while to see what's going on, but other than that I'll probably just be typing what information I've uncovered so far

Brian:

kk

Brian:

so on to Cerim's story...

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

Open this door or we will break it down!

Cerim Potter:

Did you tell them who you are?

Brian:

After a few more pounds, there is no response.

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

Yes.

Knight of the Order of Blood 3:

They might not have heard you.

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

Open this door in the name of the order of blood!

Cerim Potter:

Looks like it's not working

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

Who's got a ram?

Brian:

a few peasants present heavy objects, and soon a metal pole that they had for some reason is selected.

Cerim Potter:

An axe might also do well.

Knight of the Order of Blood 2:

*thinks for a second* Who's got an axe?

Brian:

As it turns out, many citizens of Glennswood carry axes.

Cerim Potter:

That should make things easier.

Brian:

the knight offers you the first axe passed to him.

Brian:

and politely offers you the privilaged spot at hacking the door down while he gets started from a side angle

Cerim Potter: (( I do my best to break down this blasphemous door. ))

Brian:

roll str

* Adam rolls: 1d20+2 => 11 + 2 = 13

Brian:

alright, roll a couple more times

* Adam rolls: 1d20+2 => 15 + 2 = 17

* Adam rolls: 1d20+2 => 6 + 2 = 8

Brian:

alright, the door starts to splinter, and behind it you see a dense mob of worshippers trying to keep the door shut

Brian:

you also hear a cry from behind you.

shadow beast:

DEFILER!!!!

Brian:

all combatants start at init 5 base

Cerim Potter:

What is this??

Brian:

nobody seems to have an answer, but all the locals back off.

Cerim Potter: (( anybody have an int or wis bonus? ))

Brian:

the knights all have 1

Brian:

so I guess they swing first

Brian:

They each drop axes, draw swords, and swing twice

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 1 + 6 = 7

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 17 + 6 = 23

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 1 + 6 = 7

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 15 + 6 = 21

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 9 + 6 = 15

Brian:

the strikes that hit pass right through.

Brian:

roll speed

* Brian rolls: 1d20+2 => 15 + 2 = 17

* Adam rolls: 1d10-3 => 10 - 3 = 7

Brian:

alright, then it goes first

Brian:

it changes, becoming less shadowy, then takes a strike straight at you

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 12 + 6 = 18

Brian:

hit?

Cerim Potter: (( yes ))

* Brian rolls: 1d20+4 => 7 + 4 = 11

Brian:

no wound :(

Cerim Potter: (( soz ))

Brian:

but it has enough init to swing again!

* Brian rolls: 1d20+6 => 2 + 6 = 8

Brian:

aww

Brian:

your turn...

Cerim Potter: (( init is 10+ spd? ))

Brian:

yes

Cerim Potter: (( Draw shield (2) + Use Shield (2) + Draw Dagger (2) = 6 ))

Cerim Potter: (( end turn ))

Brian:

huh

Brian:

the people inside the church collectively strike at you twice with candlesticks

* Brian rolls: 1d20-5 => 6 - 5 = 1

* Brian rolls: 1d20-5 => 9 - 5 = 4

Brian:

no hits

Brian:

do you beat init 4?

Cerim Potter: (( in the next round? ))

Brian:

yes

Brian:

rounds up

Cerim Potter: (( yes ))

Brian:

then your turn

Cerim Potter: (( gotta go eat dinner. sorry ))

Cerim Potter: (( be back in a few ))

Brian:

ok then, I guess we go back to Artyom

Jaden:

Hm

Jaden:

Oh

Jaden:

Alright

Jaden:

I'm rummaging

Jaden:

Looking for anything of interest

Brian:

You find a good deal of religous items, but nothing of particular note. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?

Jaden:

Not really, not unless something blatantly yelled at me

Brian:

these items seem to be of a strong silent type.

Jaden:

I'm going to take one more check but this time I'm going to cast a slight bit of mana

Jaden:

1 should be enough

Brian:

You find out that one of the charms laying on the shelf is actually enchanted

Jaden:

All of them frauds

Jaden:

Ugh

Jaden:

Alright

Jaden:

With that I'm going to go outside and wait for the others

Brian:

your elven ears hear commotion going on down near the church of Nerul.

Brian:

More than before.

Jaden:

Since things are picking up, I suppose I'll head down there and see what's going on

Jaden:

Though I am going to be a bit on my toes after that warning about the mob stealing my gold

Brian:

as you approach, you see that a flat out pitched battle is going on . The order of blood is bursting in the front door and fighting some creature, and skeletons are rising from the graveyard out back.

Brian:

and this is where we need to wait for Adam to return

Jaden:

I'm going to be heading towards the graveyard

Jaden:

When things do pick back up

Jaden:

For the record, that is the most adorable name I've seen for a skeleton mook

Brian:

not the stiffist competition, but hey

Jaden:

I've seen Mr. and Mrs. Bones with all the child Boneses so yes, there is a good bit of competition

Jaden:

What'd my init be at?

Jaden:

Just for whenever we would start up

Brian:

5 base

Jaden:

So 8 with my wisdom

Brian:

so you actually win init this round

Brian:

you start the round once Adam returns!

Jaden:

I'm stuck on a team with a bunch of not very wise or smart people

Jaden:

Great

Brian:

you didn't get that hint from before?

Jaden:

Oh, I had hopes for Cerim

Jaden:

Not so much anymore

Jaden:

Maybe he was a smart knight or something

Jaden:

Nothing against dumb knights

Brian:

any idea how much later you can go? This battle looks like it might take a while.

Jaden:

I can go for very late

Jaden:

The only issue for me was how early things are placed

Jaden:

And that was fine

Jaden:

I have no more work to do today

Brian:

Cool. I already asked for a vacation day tomorrow which I might not actually have anything to do with it, so I can go till I drop.

Jaden:

Awesome, it's only 4:30 about now, so I might take a quick break for lunch in an hour or two

Jaden:

But other than that I'm the same way

Cerim Potter: (( sorry about htat ))

Brian:

no your not

Jaden:

No problem, I've got time

Brian:

you wanted to put that food in yoru mouth hole

Cerim Potter: (( I didn't want to disappoint my mother ))

Brian:

I bet you don't even have a mother.

Cerim Potter: (( Use Shield (2) + Attack (3) = 5 ))

Cerim Potter:

Begone foul beast!

Brian:

Jaden:

Just 10

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 4 + 9 = 13

Brian:

Jaden:

And about 40 of the possible 45 movement I had

Jaden:

And lastly, it's time to get things fired up

Jaden:

with summoning 10 arcane magic

Jaden:

Arcana

and the villagers run away

Cerim Potter: (( nope ))

Brian:

alright, then Artyom's turn

Jaden:

Time to go to work

Jaden:

Do any of the skeletons have metal?

Brian:

none. They have only the clothing they were buried in.

Jaden:

Ah, shame

Jaden:

Then I'm going to summon 10 more arcana 2 times

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 17 + 9 = 26

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 17 + 9 = 26

And then end my turn

alright, anyone beat a 4?

wait, nvm. Priest goes at 7

Cerim Potter: (( I do ))

Jaden:

I think Cerim has 8

Cerim Potter: (( I am 8 ))

Brian:

OHH SNAP

Cerim Potter: (( and the mob is still mobbing? ))

Brian:

They are mostly standing back, and you hear screams around the corner as if there is a full on rout, outside, and inside they seem to be fighting for their lives.

Cerim Potter: (( Could I hear the Artyom's shout about the dead rising? ))

Brian:

roll wisdom+disc

* Adam rolls: 1d20+2 => 14 + 2 = 16

Brian:

Cerim Potter: (( I'm gonna move ))

Brian:

k

Cerim Potter: (( I can't move ))

Brian:

?

Cerim Potter: (( my mouse won't let me drag and drop ))

Cerim Potter: (( cuz it's broke ))

Brian:

then point with space where you are going

Cerim Potter: (( and use shield ))

Brian:

turn?

Cerim Potter: (( si ))

Brian:

the priest casts divine shield on Artyom, and ends turn. He seems to be starting a new prayer of his own

Jaden:

Ha, he thinks I need a divine shield

Brian:

the knights return to hacking at the door

* Brian rolls: 1d20+2 => 10 + 2 = 12

* Brian rolls: 1d20+2 => 11 + 2 = 13

the undead rush further

Jaden:

Nope but they gotta hit a 33

Brian:

ohh, yeah...

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 7 - 1 = 6

Jaden:

Abjuration

Brian:

alright then, that's that

Brian:

at end of round, commoners run, and more undead arise

Jaden:

Well, time to perfect what I couldn't do earlier

Brian:

priest actually goes before you

Jaden:

Oh?

Jaden:

Dang

Brian:

he steps into the graveyard, and casts hallow on it

Father Austliem:

Your powers cannot overthrow the lord, Parson!

Brian:

ok, now your turn

Jaden:

I need mana to make a tentacle have range, correct?

Brian:

yes

Jaden:

Alright

Jaden:

5 mana for the first one

Brian:

effectively you make a swarm of them

Jaden:

So, how exactly does it work in this case, I summon a tentacle which can reach 5ft times the mana?

Jaden:

Well, a swarm

Brian:

you make a field the size of the radious, crawling with them

Brian:

actually, nvm

Brian:

it can reach, that's what it says in the description

Jaden:

Alright, I'm going to take a stroll into the graveyard then

Brian:

that provokes...

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 12 - 1 = 11

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 7 - 1 = 6

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 15 - 1 = 14

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 20 - 1 = 19

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 16 - 1 = 15

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 13 - 1 = 12

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 18 - 1 = 17

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 4 - 1 = 3

Jaden:

Not seeing any 33s

Brian:

the strikes bounce of the now visible magical field around you.

Jaden:

I'll now try to summon 10 mana

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 16 + 9 = 25

Jaden:

And 10 conjuration

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 20 + 9 = 29

Jaden:

And now I'll dip into one to summon a tentacle

Jaden:

Oh yeah, on that second summon

Jaden:

The conjuration one

Jaden:

I'm converting all my arcana to conjuration

Jaden:

So it's a 40 conjuration 10 mana tentacle

Brian:

alright, in one square next to you is a conjuration that can attack any creature in 50ft on your turn for absurd amounts of wounding

Jaden:

160 strength, 25 dex, 50 ft reach

Cerim Potter: (( Balanced. ))

Jaden:

Let's pick the skeleton furthest away

Jaden:

Actually wait

Brian:

roll to hit. That might fail still

Jaden:

No, I'm done

Jaden:

I'm out of init, it relies on my init, right?

Brian:

it gets one attack on your turn every round, starting with the current round

Brian:

so you get one attack this round

Jaden:

Oh, alright

Jaden:

Let's go for it

Jaden:

Hit is using dex

Jaden:

So

Jaden:

+2

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 2 => 15 + 2 = 17

Brian:

hit

Jaden:

To wound

Jaden:

Which is...

Jaden:

+70?

Jaden:

Somewhere around that?

Brian:

the odds are less than 1/1000 of you not auto-killing

Brian:

yes, exactly +70

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 70 => 20 + 70 = 90

Jaden:

Crit

* Jaden rolls: 1d6 - 1 => 5 - 1 = 4

Brian:

really?

Jaden:

94 damage

Cerim Potter: (( brilliant ))

Brian:

minus WAC of 10

Brian:

84 damage

Cerim Potter: (( the power of the tentacle is unmatched ))

Brian:

which is enough to wipe all scores to 0

Brian:

do we need to roll this every time?

Jaden:

And to end it

Artyom Cooper:

Fear me!

Jaden:

Time to frighten some skeletons back into their graves

Brian:

Cerim, your turn?

Cerim Potter: (( move + use shield ))

Cerim Potter: (( would I be seeing the tentacle? ))

Brian:

not this round

Cerim Potter: (( turn ))

* Brian rolls: 1d20+2 => 14 + 2 = 16

* Brian rolls: 1d20+2 => 7 + 2 = 9

Jaden:

I guess I did draw all the aggro

Brian:

yup

Jaden:

New dedicated tank

Brian:

also...

* Brian rolls: 1d20+60 => 17 + 60 = 77

* Brian rolls: 1d20+4 => 20 + 4 = 24

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 5 - 1 = 4

Brian:

ok, anyhow...

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 18 - 1 = 17

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 2 - 1 = 1

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 14 - 1 = 13

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 2 - 1 = 1

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 11 - 1 = 10

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 16 - 1 = 15

* Brian rolls: 1d20-1 => 20 - 1 = 19

* Brian rolls: 1d601 => 389

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 1 - 1 = 0

Brian:

no hits today...

Jaden:

He had a chance

Jaden:

There was an explosion upwards

Brian:

Just realized that there is no time limit on the tentacle, which will need to be corrected.

Brian:

but I will figure that out as we go. Top of the ruond

Jaden:

I believe it's you Cerim

Jaden:

I'm at 9

Brian:

Cerim wins

Brian:

and more undead are pouring out

Cerim Potter: (( move + use shield ))

Cerim Potter: (( turn ))

Brian:

arty?

Jaden:

Tentacle will try to hit the furthest away skeleton again

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 2 => 8 + 2 = 10

Jaden:

Does a 10 hit?

Brian:

yes

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 70 => 8 + 70 = 78

Jaden:

Does a 78 kill?

Brian:

what do you think?

Jaden:

You're right

Brian:

You don't have to rub it in that I gave you super powers

Jaden:

As for me

Jaden:

I'm going to start building up some lightning magic

Jaden:

10 points

Jaden:

2 sets

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 12 + 9 = 21

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 7 + 9 = 16

Jaden:

And then I'm going to tap the shoulder of the skeleton standing next to me and tell him to go away

Jaden:

While also letting that lightning run through him

Brian:

roll to hit

Jaden:

Dex?

Brian:

yup

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 2 => 19 + 2 = 21

Brian:

hit

Jaden:

Wound

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 22 => 12 + 22 = 34

Brian:

that ISNT an auto kill

* Jaden rolls: 1d4 => 2

Brian:

wait no, it is

Jaden:

Init's up to 12 and I end my turn

Brian:

priest runs over and works on healing people

Brian:

the undead swarm you

* Brian rolls: 16d20s20 => 2

Jaden:

Glad I didn;t use my other plan and bomb the area with a magic blast

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 4 - 1 = 3

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 6 - 1 = 5

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 6 - 1 = 5

Brian:

uhh ohh, that's 29

* Brian rolls: 1d6-1 => 2 - 1 = 1

Brian:

AWWW

Brian:

ok, top of round

Jaden:

Oh wait that's me

Jaden:

I need line of sight to use a longer range magic, don't I?

Brian:

yes

Jaden:

And that is probably blocked by these large amounts of skeletons

Brian:

rib cages are see-through

Jaden:

Can I see this skeleton here?

Brian:

yeah

Jaden:

Hm

Brian:

also, each round roll 1d6. On a 1 the tentacle wears off

Jaden:

If I attempted to shoot him with magic would it possibly hit another skeleton?

Jaden:

Alright

Jaden:

Before or after it acts?

Jaden:

And for previous rounds?

Brian:

after, and forget prev rounds

Jaden:

Okay

Brian:

and yes, there is a chance it goes off early

Jaden:

I'm going to play it safe then

Jaden:

As for the tentacle

Jaden:

He's going to go for the furthest one again

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 2 => 9 + 2 = 11

Brian:

hit

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 70 => 1 + 70 = 71

* Jaden rolls: 1d6 - 1 => 3 - 1 = 2

* Jaden rolls: 1d6 => 3

Jaden:

Tentacle is still here

Jaden:

As for me

Jaden:

I'm going to go for some lightning again

Jaden:

2 times for 10

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 18 + 9 = 27

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 3 + 9 = 12

Jaden:

And then touch the skeleton that moved into the spot behind me where I just killed another one

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 2 => 11 + 2 = 13

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 22 => 15 + 22 = 37

Brian:

Jaden:

Yep

Brian:

Cerim Potter: (( yay ))

Cerim Potter: (( done ))

* Brian rolls: 18d20s20 => 0

Brian:

Brian:

Jaden:

No problem

Jaden:

You done crawling?

Jaden:

I can't tell if you moved or not

Cerim Potter: (( all done ))

Jaden:

2 more tries for 10 conjuration

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 4 + 9 = 13

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 5 + 9 = 14

Jaden:

And now I'm at 5

Jaden:

So 3 uses, dipping into 1 init

Brian:

Jaden:

Oh wait

Jaden:

No I need mana for each first

Jaden:

So another summoning

Jaden:

Of mana 10

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 3 + 9 = 12

Jaden:

And up one init

Jaden:

It still takes me several rounds to prepare

Jaden:

Should be one more round

Jaden:

Then only after that can I summon

Jaden:

Turn

Brian:

skellys now?

Brian:

I've lost track

Jaden:

Mhm

Jaden:

Unless knights, villagers or priest have something

Brian:

Cerim?

Brian:

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 3 => 8 + 3 = 11

Cerim Potter: (( I'm just crawlling ))

Cerim Potter: (( go ahead ))

Jaden:

You may crawl though

Jaden:

I'm going to do 3 mana for 10

Jaden:

3 times 10 mana each that is

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 3 + 9 = 12

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 18 + 9 = 27

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 19 + 9 = 28

Jaden:

And now I place one trap card facedown and end my turn

* Brian rolls: 18d720s720 => 0

Brian:

ok, back to top

Jaden:

14

Jaden:

Oh, I'll be using that trap card now

Jaden:

And by using I mean using 8 init to do 4 summons of tentacles

Jaden:

Each using 15 conjuration and 10 mana

Jaden:

So only 60 strength each

Brian:

"only"

Jaden:

I'm going to end my turn there

Jaden:

My newly created four tentacles however

Jaden:

They're going to burst through the ground striking each skeleton that was on top of them

It'll give me time to figure out what I'm summoning next

Cerim Potter: (( turn ))

* Adam rolls: 1d20+1 => 5 + 1 = 6

* Adam rolls: 1d20+1 => 2 + 1 = 3

Jaden:

I'm giong to summon 10 x more nature

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 7 + 9 = 16

Jaden:

And now let's start

Jaden:

We're moving dirt downwards

Jaden:

Tell me if this'll work or not

Jaden:

5x5 areas of dirt I'm moving up or down can be connected to each other, right?

Brian:

yes

Jaden:

So I can take the 15 x 25 foot area in front of me and move it all down at once

Brian:

yes, but it would cost 2 init per square, and take a minute to complets

Jaden:

Ah, I see

Jaden:

That's 28 init alltogether

Jaden:

So, can I do it if I dip for it?

Jaden:

Next turn that would be

Brian:

No, I would still require you to do them as seperate actions, so you would have to spread it out over a few turns

Brian:

and even then it's 10 turns before the effect finishes

Jaden:

Ah, alright

Jaden:

Then let's start throwing dirt instead

Jaden:

Right in front of me

Cerim Potter: (( use the drawing tools pls ))

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 1 => 5 + 1 = 6

Brian:

it's not AoE

Cerim Potter: (( oh ))

Jaden:

No hit

Jaden:

So do it again

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 1 => 13 + 1 = 14

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 6 => 1 + 6 = 7

Cerim Potter: (( can't you just firebomb these mamma jammas? ))

Jaden:

I'd hit me

Cerim Potter:

would you?

Jaden:

Yes

Jaden:

It specifically says any creature in range

Jaden:

Which means me

Cerim Potter: (( doesn't it have to hit HAC? ))

Jaden:

You're right

Jaden:

I'm an idiot

Jaden:

I can't hit me if my HACs too high to hit

Cerim Potter: (( yep ))

Jaden:

Well, I'll hang on to the rest of this earth for sometime later then

Brian:

Cool

Brian:

about to suggest that since the dirt-flinging is an entirely different order of magnitude in damage

Jaden:

Yeah

Jaden:

Now

Jaden:

I'll use my last 5 init to summon 10 x lighting and save 1

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 18 + 9 = 27

Jaden:

Turn

* Brian rolls: 45d720s720 => 0

Brian:

Jaden:

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 10 => 12 + 10 = 22

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 10 => 5 + 10 = 15

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 10 => 17 + 10 = 27

Jaden:

1 for 6x mana

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 9 => 4 + 9 = 13

Jaden:

End

Jaden:

Wait

Jaden:

Jaden:

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 1 => 11 + 1 = 12

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 1 => 2 + 1 = 3

Jaden:

1 hit

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 20 => 19 + 20 = 39

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 1 => 12 + 1 = 13

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 1 => 11 + 1 = 12

Jaden:

and two more

* Jaden rolls: 1d20 + 20 => 14 + 20 = 34
