[slingergame] Bert says, "Log on."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(AFK a few.)"
[slingergame] Quarion the Green can wait. His time will come.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Back.)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(here!)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "yay"
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "The team has been... assembled!"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "So did anyone catch the game last ni - oh, yay!"
[slingergame] DM asks, "So, any pertinent questions or anything?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So as I recall, we were in the middle of a downlock?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "With two daggers and some magic between us."
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "I have a cunning plan!"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I have one of Shaborys' daggers!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "I have my winning personality!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I think we'd might be better off with your cunning plan.)"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Yes, so either you'll turn into Bastafore's first sandwich or you manage to escape this death trap. It's a win-win!"
[slingergame] DM says, "You also have dead guard (1)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, right. I forgot about the walls."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Wait, we're carrying a dead guard with us?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "We already searched the guard, right?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I was, yeah."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I have a solution for the walls! At least, I think so."
[slingergame] DM says, "You were about to do that before the break. Let's roll initiative"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I mean, the dude deserves to have his remains returned to someone who can properly care for them, right?"
Shaborys clears the initiative.
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Right!"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 1 = 17
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 2 = 22
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 4 = 11
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14 + 4 = 18
[slingergame] DM says, "Just so we have an order for you guys to go in"
Vraklul registers Vraklul at init 22.

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 2 = 15
Quarion registers Quarion at init 17.
Rashawndra registers Rashawndra at init 18.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Accidentally typed 'init ass 17'"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "hee"
[slingergame] DM says, "Also, the guard's name, which I totally didn't have to look up, was Dhievreyx"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Sigh."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "How do I remove myself?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Init remove, I think"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I believe that's our first challenge this week."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "But you have to clear the whole number? It doesn't work for just a person?"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "I guess so?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah."
Shaborys removes Shaborys/Rashawndra from the initiative list.
Shaborys registers Shaborys at init 18.
Rashawndra registers Rashawndra at init 15.
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "There; thanks."
Quarion displays the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
DM advances the initiative: VRAKLUL(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(This is a flaw, but I believe a moderate improvement over the old system, wherein you couldn't *have* two people at the same number.)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(If we could add removing a person/id from the list, that'd be great)"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "How far apart are the walls?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "The ones that are closing."
[slingergame] DM says (to rashawndra), "You can if only one person is registered"
[slingergame] DM says (to vraklul), "Let's say 25 feet"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wait, it claims you can 'init remove orc'."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "But anyway."
Vraklul plants himself next to one of the moving walls and uses all of his strength to try to force it back (or at least keep it from moving).
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Onward!"
DM says, "Roll STR"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 4 = 14
DM says, "Vraklul strains against one of the walls, and it seems to slow down a bit, but still keeps coming."
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) SHABORYS(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
Vraklul exclaims, "I can't hold them back completely! We need to disable them somehow!"
Shaborys asks, "What does the ceiling look like?"
Vraklul asks, "Maybe with magic?!?"
Rashawndra asks, "Didn't I hear you guys talking about an immovable rod?"
Quarion exclaims, "Yeah, I've got one!"
DM says (to shaborys), "It's a normal stone ceiling, no lamps or anything. It's a good thing you all have darkvision"
Rashawndra exclaims, "Sweet!"
Shaborys asks, "Can I do an investigation on the walls?"
Shaborys asks, "Or is that just pointless?"
DM says, "Sure"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 6 = 7
Shaborys hahahahahha.
DM says, "It's a wall ... made of ... Stone (?)"
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) QUARION(17) Rashawndra(15)
Shaborys looks meaningfully at Quarion.
Quarion exclaims, "I've got two plans, I just need to figure out which one to try first!"
Shaborys says, "Try the one that is going to work!"
Vraklul exclaims, "The one that'll stop the walls!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "I can help with the second plan!"
Quarion exclaims, "OK!"
Quarion focuses... and focuses... and tries to sense the magic in the walls... how to stop the walls...
Quarion casts Dispel Magic!
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a successful check, the spell ends."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Make a DC14 check then"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Can I use the wand?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Sure"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 7 = 11
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Can I use inspiration?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Sure sure"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 + 7 = 9
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "And it's gone."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Aw."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "boo"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "But Rush said to use the one that would *work*!"
DM exclaims, "The grinding in the walls stop!"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Oh."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "Never mind!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Wait, maybe I misread that."
Vraklul strains. "I think I've got this one!"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "That was me :D We don't look anythign alike."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "But it was DC 14..."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "You add the d20 when you roll inspiration, right?"
[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "Isn't inspiration something you add to your roll? Is it really a rereoll?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "I was convinced it was a reroll?"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "It gives you advantage, Ithought."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Inspiration is a bit like Advantage, IIRC."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "So yes."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims (at Shaborys), "Sorry, sorry!"
DM exclaims, "Disregard last comment!"
DM says, "The walls still grind."
Quarion exclaims, "I'm trying!"
Quarion exclaims, "The magic is strong!"
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) RASHAWNDRA(15)
Vraklul's foot slips back a few inches. "No! I was wrong! I don't got this one!"
Rashawndra attempts to snag the immovable rod from Quarion's backpack.
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "If that works, I activate it, held against the walls."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Are you jamming it into the corner, to brace the moving wall against one of the fixed walls?"
Rashawndra exclaims, "Quarion! You have too many pockets in here! Which one has the rod!"
[slingergame] DM says, "I assume Quarion's backpack is well ordered so you find it immediately"
Quarion exclaims (at Rashawndra), "Down in the back!"
Quarion exclaims, "That's it!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "Ha!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I bet he has it strapped to the outside, on its own special velcro loop."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "hehe"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "It works by just putting it somewhere and activating it, right?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I am also making the assumption that in this world, the elves have already invented velcro.)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yep"
[slingergame] DM says, "ha ha"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "(to Rush's question)"
[slingergame] DM says, "it's canon now*"
[slingergame] DM says, "(*not really)"
Rashawndra slaps the rod against a moving wall and activates it!
[slingergame] Quarion says, "actually velcro is based on a specific plant, so..."
DM says, "The pinned wall gives an almost annoyed grinding sound but stops moving! The other however, though Vrak pushes against it most valiantly, keeps coming."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I can only cast Dispel Magic two more times."
DM says, "The invisible loudspeaker crackles again : Sorry, this prison riot is stressful! I meant BREAKOUT IN MAX! CAUTERIZE! Not Outbreak!""
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Here's hoping the far wall can only go so far, to meet in the middle"
DM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
DM advances the initiative: VRAKLUL(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
Hunter disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
Rashawndra exclaims, "Vrak! You can borrow my luckstone if you want!"
Vraklul yells, "RARRR!" ragefully, and jams the dagger Shaborys gave him -- his only weapon! -- between the wall and the floor.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does that help with ability checks?"
Rashawndra says, "It's, uh, somewhere in the third pocket? Next to the dried flowers and a couple pretty rocks."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It does."
Shaborys says, "If you break my dagger, you are buying me a new one!"
[slingergame] DM says, "I'd say it stops the wall for a round"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "And if so, do I have time to grab it during my action?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of DM), "No ability check?"
Vraklul exclaims (at Shaborys), "OK! As soon as I find some money!"
Rashawndra says, "Of course, it's *also* a pretty rock."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, sorry, I was a step behind. STR check to wedge the dagger and stop the wall (for a turn)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(If there's no ability check, can I undo my rage?)"
Rashawndra says, "So I guess just take them all."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, OK."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Actually, doesn't the luckstone need to be attuned?"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 4 = 8
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 4 = 7
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, bah."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(That was my STR roll with advantage from rage.)"
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "TPK imminent!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Ah, it does. Sorry."
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "If anyone wants to do me 1hp of damage, to keep me enraged, feel free!"
Vraklul advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) SHABORYS(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
Rashawndra says, "Wait, does it only work for me now? I forget what the guy said who sold it to me."
DM says, "The wall grinds away towards you, while the other wall sounds almost annoyed while grinding against the rod"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Gladly :D Can I just slap you or something?"
Vraklul is too enraged to think clearly about pretty rocks, magical or otherwise.
Rashawndra exclaims, "Never mind!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do we have anything that might get us through the wall where the door is?"
[slingergame] DM says, "You can make a grapple attack :-)"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Like, is it an illusion, or a wall of force, or...?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "That would be an Arcana roll"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Also, come to think of it, I might want a reminder of the situation... we were headed down a hall toward a door at the end, right?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "And then walls magically appeared in front of and behind us, blocking the door and the hall we just came from?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I feel like we were teleported or something."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes. It was a hallway, and when you entered, walls appeared at both ends"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "And then the *side* walls were the ones that started moving, right?"
[slingergame] DM says, "correct"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So assuming we're still in the same place -- which is by no means certain -- then if we can get through the wall in front of us, we should still be able to reach that door."
DM says (to shaborys), "If you want to hurt Vrak, you can, but that'll be your tirn"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "I'm thinking! I dont' suppose I can investigate again, since I failed it last time. Maybe I'm looking at the other wall this time?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Though she would gladly hurt Vrak if it'll help ;)"
[slingergame] DM asks, "The moving wall, or the end walls?"
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "I feel like a tirn is a tiny lizard that lives in rocky areas and spits tiny balls of acid."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Did you investigate the moving wall or the one that appeared out of nowhere?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "That would have made Trinity a lot harder."
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Ha"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "They were pretty far apart, so let's say I tried-- wait the moving walls aren't the ones that appeared?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Correct."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I assume he means acid, the drug"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "That would have made Trinity exactly the same."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok, let's say I tried the moving walls last time, and now the appearing walls."
[Crows-Nest] DM exclaims, "Ok!"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9 + 6 = 15
DM says, "You examine the wall that appeared, and when you touch it, the hair (fur?) on your arm stands on edge. The stone work is too smooth, to regular- this is definetely some sort of magic wall."
Quarion asks (of Shaborys), "Found anything?"
Shaborys says, "Quarion! Focus on this wall!"
Quarion exclaims, "Okay!"
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) QUARION(17) Rashawndra(15)
Quarion faces the wall Shaborys pointed out, and slams down his quarterstaff on the ground...
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 7 = 13
[slingergame] Quarion says, "so. close."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "We seriously need some better dice."
[slingergame] DM says, "For sure"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think the DM swapped our d20's for some that have 1-10 printed on them twice."
Hunter arrives at home.
[slingergame] DM says, "I wanted the next encounter to be the TPK! Aw."
(From Quarion) ... but the magic still resists, although Quarion feels that he almost managed this time.
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) RASHAWNDRA(15)
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "You don't have the power to cast it as a higher level spell slot, right?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Nope."
Rashawndra asks (of Vrak), "You really need someone to hit you?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "And I can only use it one more time (one slot left)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "So you'd better have a plan B."
Vraklul exclaims, "It would help if you punched me!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You could teach me how to cast it real quick."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ha ha."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "You forget that I devised Dispel Magic from studying your Counterspells."
[slingergame] DM says, "Lifelong learning! Even if it's only 2 more minutes."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Basically, if you do me 1HP of damage, then I'll keep my rage going."
Rashawndra dashes over to Vraklul, then hesitates. "Um... I don't really, arr..."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Arr, me hearties"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I don't suppose I can deliberately do exactly 1 hp of damage with, like shocking grasp or something?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "The pain will keep me sharply focused and allow me to continue applying my strength most effectively."
Vraklul exclaims, "PUNCH ME!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "I'm trying!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Too many muscles"
[slingergame] DM says, "Hm, why not"
[slingergame] DM says, "I'll allow it"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Woo."
Rashawndra tries slapping Vraklul, which does exactly nothing.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yay. Technically I can't do unarmed damage, so I would have needed to stab you very gently or something, haha."
Rashawndra sighs.
Rashawndra says, "Oh, fine."
Rashawndra pokes Vraklul in the arms, shocking him for 1 HP of damage.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "*ding*"
Vraklul's eyes light up with electric fire. "YES!"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Vrak likes that ;)"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "he he"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says (to Rashawndra), "Well, you certainly know how to push his buttons"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Yeah, I think we all just learned something about Vraklul today, including me."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, ""Hey, Hennimore, do you know Shocking Grasp? Oh, no reason""
Rashawndra advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
DM asks, "Hey, is it getting crowded in here or what?"
DM advances the initiative: VRAKLUL(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
Vraklul focuses his attention on the point where there used to be a door. Maybe that wall is an illusion. Maybe it's a real wall. But even real walls can be smashed.
Vraklul pictures the door in his mind, squares up his shoulder, and charges at it with full force!
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 4 = 16
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 4 = 9
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I have a nagging feeling this is DC 17."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul asks, "Oh, is this straight STR or can it be Athletics?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Because if it's Athletics, then I get proficiency and can call that 16 a 19."
[slingergame] DM says, "Athletcis would work"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Then I rolled a 19."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "whee"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "VRAKLUL SMASH."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "We have a Vrak."
DM says, "Vraklul runs against the wall and unfortunately bounces off (rather comically)"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "nooooo"
Vraklul exclaims, "GRARR!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do I hurt my shoulder at all?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Say, maybe one HP's worth?)"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Sure!"
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) SHABORYS(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Feel the rrrrrrage"
Shaborys sighs and looks around.
Vraklul exclaims (at Wall), "You are my nemesis! I will END YOU!"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "One sec."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Looking through all my stuff to see if I've got ANYTHING useful."
[slingergame] (from Quarion) Shaborys says, 'Oooo, a potion of Plot Armor.'
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "I've got a hammer?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You can hammer in the morning."
[slingergame] Roger says, "never got a Rod, h"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "At what level do you start to get teleportation magic?"
Shaborys shrugs, swings her hammer as hard as she can at the still-moving wall, which isn't very hard.
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 - 1 = 19
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Ha ha ha"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Hm."
[slingergame] DM says, "More like Smashy, am I rite"
DM says, "shaborys smashes her hammer at the still moving wall and a large bit of brick falls out. It reveals a sort of giant rolling mechanism that moves the wall forward."
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims (at Vraklul), "Teleport is a level 7 spell!"
Shaborys finds some anger within her, given that her idea is fucking freedom.
Shaborys s/idea/ideal/
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Q), "So that means... character level 13?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "roughly"
Shaborys says, "Hey, look at that!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "Ooooh, neat!"
Quarion exclaims, "Yes! We're saved!"
DM says, "(it's still rolling though, and the hole is about the size of a monitor"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is this a mechanism that can be smashed with bare hands, or one that would mangle any fist that attempted to punch it?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I assume you mean 'monitor lizard'."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "You have my permission to stick a dagger in there. I also happen to have a crowbar, though."
[slingergame] DM says, "It's a gargantuan roll, think like a newspaper printing machine"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Which I would not cry over."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "or a piton."
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Does your crowbar give you joy?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think the dagger I was trying to wedge under the wall is still on the flloor, since I failed to wedge it in, but a crowbar seems like a better choice."
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) QUARION(17) Rashawndra(15)
Quarion exclaims, "I'm trying one last time!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "Go for it!"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 7 = 17
[slingergame] Roger says, "more like a mammoth rollr"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Feel free to rifle through my bag for the crowbar then."
Quarion exclaims, "WALL! YOU SHALL NOT CRUSH US!"
Quarion exclaims, "WE WILL BE FREE!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Like a wheely mammoth?"
Quarion dispels the magic wall.
DM says, "The wall flickers and disappears in a *poof* of magic! It reveals an iron gate, that you came in through."
Shaborys oh.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I cannot remember the name of the arrow-catching monk that rode the wheely mammoth, but I *think* it started with a K...)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Isn't it amazing how it worked on the third time? Especially given that this was my last available slot for that spell"
[slingergame] DM asks (of vraklul), "Hm?"
DM advances the initiative: Vraklul(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) RASHAWNDRA(15)
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Tomb of Horrors, IIRC."
Rashawndra shoots the rolls with a ray of frost, hoping to at least slow the thing down, if not disable it.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I believe the character in question was played by lps."
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 + 7 = 15
[slingergame] DM says, "I've never played that"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Rosie!"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Rosie!"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Rosebud?"
[slingergame] Alex says (to Quarion), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Rosebud is a sled. See: Morgiabud."
DM says, "The roll audibly slows down, and the walls progess is somewhat slowed"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I don't remember riding the wheely mammoth, but it totally sounds like something I would do."
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Morgiabud?"
[slingergame] Alex says (to Shaborys), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Morgiabud is the Zork Zero equivalent of Charles Foster Kane's sled, Rosebud."
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Bud jokes will cease!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(want me to roll for damage?)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "This was a another D&D game we played on the MUD. There was a trap that was basically a huge statue of a woolly mammoth that moved on giant rollers and would flatten anyone in its path."
[slingergame] DM says, "I'll give it the same rate of slowing as Vrak pushing it"
Quarion says, "The way out lies ahead, my friends."
DM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
DM advances the initiative: VRAKLUL(22) Shaborys(18) Quarion(17) Rashawndra(15)
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So was Quarion casting the spell at the wall we had *thought* had the door we were originally headed toward?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yes"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Except somehow -- perhaps due to some confusing magics -- it turned out to be the wall that had the corridor we just came from?"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I thought 'came from' meant 'came from originally'"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Or am I confused?"
[slingergame] DM says, "What Rush said"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I.e., the one we're trying to get to in order to escape?"
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "yes!"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "The way out lies ahead"
Vraklul tries to force the iron gate open!
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Bend bars/lift gates!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Yes! Which, uh, doesn't exactly exist in 5e. Athletics again, or straight STR, or is the gate maybe conveniently unlocked?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, I'm trying to find the rules, one sec"
[slingergame] DM says, "Because my notes say page ??? (intelligible)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ha ha."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yay"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It's almost like you expected me to try this."
[slingergame] DM says, "Indeed"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Also, I missed a golden opportunity to say 'WE SHALL PASS!'"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "(sniff)"
[Setting the zoned flag.]
[slingergame] DM says, "Aha, okay, it's a straight STR check, but two of you can try together"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Woo! Who wants to help?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I assume we can fudge init for this?)"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "And what effect does helping have?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I have a +0 for my str."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "+1 for me."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I have a -1"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Damn 'masculine men' steretotype"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(and that's only because of my luckstone)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Anyway, here's my normal roll:"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 17 | 17 + 4 = 21
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 4 = 24
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "THERE'S MY 20-SIDER!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Yay!"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I don't think Vrak needs help."
Rashawndra says, "Hey, Vrak, do you want me to... oh. OK, never mind."
DM exclaims, "Vrak crushes through the gate like a raging half-orc through an iron gate!"
Shaborys cheers!
Vraklul exclaims, "THIS WAY!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Do I need to go back for the dagger, or can I pretend I still have it on hand?)"
DM exclaims, "You are victorious against the wall of DooM!"
[slingergame] DM says, "You have it on hand, sure"
Rashawndra follows everyone else out, snagging the rod on the way!
Vraklul charges heedlessly up the corridor!
DM says, "As soon as the last one is out, of course the wall crash together behind you. Now that you can focus on it, you realize the corridor is full of noise, and smoke. All or most of the cells are open, and there are bodies lying on the floor, cells are on fire, and there are people fighting, wounded on the floor."
DM says, "It's not a straight corridor, but imagine more like a grid-like constructions, with paths between the cells."
Shaborys yikes.
Vraklul leaps over the corpses in their path, ignoring the smoke and the flames, as he zig-zags back the way he thinks they probably originally came from.
Rashawndra tries a Persuasion check to stop the fighting!
Rashawndra exclaims, "Hey! Cut it out! Look around you; is this what you want? Is this going to help you get out of here any faster? Let's work together!"
DM says (to rashawndra), "You can make a check to stop maybe one fight."
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 + 8 = 10
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Ha."
Quarion exclaims, "Rush! No! Bad idea!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Are there guards in the fight too, or just prisoner-on-prisoner?"
DM exclaims, "Two humans thugs turn on Rush. "Oh yeah, pretty lady? This is exactly what we want! Fronk, get her!"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh no!"
Shaborys turns around and throws her dagger at Fronk.
[slingergame] DM says (to vraklul), "You see one or two guards on the floor, but not in the fights."
Fronk says, ""Ouch!""
DM exclaims, "Thug 1 tries to grab Rush!"
Shaborys says, "Touch her, and I will end you."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Do they look dead or alive? (Should I do a Medicine roll?)"
Rashawndra . o O ( Awww. )
Quarion hits thug 1 with a quarterstaff to the groin!
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Are we doing init?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm not sure if Vraklul even realizes what's going on behind him yet."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think not."
Thug1 looks at Shaborys, "Hey I was just jok" and then gets hit in the groin and keels over.
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "If anyone hits me, they get cold damage, since my Armor of Agathys is still up and running, I believe."
[slingergame] DM exclaims (at vraklul), "One of them is dead, but the other might just be alive!"
Quarion exclaims (at Thug1), "Count yourself lucky not to be on fire right now!"
DM says, "Since he's still yelping when the prisoners kick him."
Vraklul scoops up the living guard over his *other* shoulder (the one that doesn't have Dh* on it)!
Vraklul exclaims, "C'mon, don't waste your time on these bozos! Let's get out of here!"
Quarion exclaims, "Vrak's right!"
Quarion says, "His tactics, for once, are sound."
Quarion pulls Rush along and runs
DM says (to vraklul), "You can't get the guard, because some thugs are still on him."
Rashawndra scootches around the fighting, looking for knocked-unconcious people to cast cure wounds on.
Shaborys pulls her dagger out of Fronk's shoulder and shoves him backwards with a menacing glare. Then she follows the others.
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Rush stop scooching"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "please."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I mean, along the way out."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "ah, okay"
DM says, "So if you want to get the guard, you have to deal with about 4 thugs who keep kicking him."
Quarion exclaims (at Vrak&friends), "We'll need to get you guys your weapons back, then we'll think about escaping this island!"
DM says, "We're not doing init, since these guys have a CR of like 1/2)"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "OK!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Can I deal with them by hunkering down and running straight into them, like a wrecking ball?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Or, better yet, a bowling ball?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I came in like a wrecking baaaaaaaaaal"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Sure!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "OK! Do I need to roll for it?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Make an attack roll"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Assuming STR, proficiency:"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14 + 7 = 21
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra asks, "Would a giant golden wheely calf of gold be a wrecking baal?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "hehe"
[slingergame] DM says, "Great! Feel free to narrate it"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "I'm pretty sure Moses was the one wrecking Baal in that story."
Vraklul crashes into the clump of thugs, sending them flying in all directions like bowling pins. One of the manages to roll heels-over-head straight back into his cell.
Vraklul exclaims (at Guard), "Come with us if you want to live!"
Rashawndra casts cure wounds on the guard.
Guard? says, "Thanks, man! Wait, aren't you those Wives of Wabberjack they're looking for?"
Quarion exclaims, "Knights of Varg Gijak, actually! We're not popular with criminals!"
Vraklul exclaims, "Right, that's us! It's OK, we're the good guys!"
Guard says, "You better get out of here. There's a storage room near here, I have the key!"
Vraklul asks, "Are there weapons in there?"
Vraklul looks at his puny dagger.
Shaborys glaaaares.
Guard says, "Um, not really, but maybe you can improvise something?"
Rashawndra asks, "Does the storage room have an exit?"
Vraklul exclaims, "OK! Lead the way!"
Guard says, "(to Rashwandra) Thanks for healing me!"
Guard says, "(to Rashwandra) I've never been magically healed before. I have to tell my wife about it."
Rashawndra grins at her. "No problem!"
[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "he used to be sterile; she's in for a big surprise"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "haha"
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Oh, wait, he was already established as a guy. s/her/him, then."
DM says, "The guard (a half-orc, by the way) leads the way down one corridor, past a destroyed guard station. Around the next corner is another gate, which is covered by a bunch of lizardfolk. Instead of going there, he unlocks an inconspicous side door."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Lizardfolk wearing blue jumpsuits, I assume."
DM says, "You are in a storage room, which brooms, buckets, and other stuff you need in a prison but don't want prisoners to have in their cells."
[slingergame] Roger says, "They're sleestaks"
[slingergame] DM says, "Correct"
[slingergame] DM says, "Here's how I thought this may go: You want weapons? Great! Tell me what you'd expect to find their and how to turn it into one."
Vraklul breaks the head off of a broom, then spins it around in his hands. A suitable quarterstaff?
DM exclaims (at vraklul), "Sure!"
Vraklul asks, "Hey, anyone have a bit of twine?"
Shaborys says, "Yes."
Vraklul tightly binds the dagger Shaborys lent him to one end of the broom stick. Spear!
Guard still breathes hard. "Man, what a mess. Did you really steal Old Man Burton's dog?"
Rashawndra (afk a sec moving laundry)
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "(except here)"
Vraklul says, "Yup, we rescued Burton's dog after his people attacked us."
DM says, "(also afk for a second)"
Vraklul says, "Ol' Bloodfang's a good pup. He didn't deserve the way they were treating him."
Guard says, "Yeah, way I've heard it they used to throw him in the dog-fighting pit. He would never fight any of the other dogs, but apparently his attempts at escape where hilarious to some."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If we want ranged weapons, someone can probably make a sling and find something to use as ammo for it."
Quarion says, "That's terrible. Well, at least he has a good home now."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yeah, I'm thinking what might be in such a closet."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I don't suppose there would be a sledgehammer big enough to double as a warhammer."
Guard says, "I've heard the pits draw far less people than they used to."
[slingergame] DM says, "Nah."
Quarion says, "If anyone wants to borrow my quarterstaff, they can."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "There might be netting."
Quarion says, "Reality's my true weapon, after all."
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "(back)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(A net is usable as a weapon to tangle people up.)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I have Web prepared :-)"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "They let you in with the quarterstaff??"
Shaborys grabs some netting,and looks for some sort of projectile type item.
[slingergame] DM | Quarion hands over quarterstaff and wand.
DM asks (of shaborys), "You find some netting. What would you use for a projectile?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Damn"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I dunno. Are there like, bars of soap? Haha, I have no idea. Thunk."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Shall I say that I kicked the Thug 1 earlier"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "RETCON'd"
[slingergame] DM says, "maybe it's really hard prison soap"
Vraklul snaps the head off of another brook and hands the stick to Quarion. "Here you go. You look better with a staff in your hand."
Quarion says, "Thanks."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Copper coins?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I don't know of SHaborys could part with those, though."
Shaborys grabs a bunch of tiny rockhard soaps-- NO, vrak. NO.
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Man, I really wished I hadn't forgotten that I didn't have a staff when I was RPing"
Shaborys makes a sling out of a stretchy rag and a piece of a broom handle.
DM says (to shaborys), "Cool"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I know rags aren't stretchy."
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "But like.. for the sake of the game?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I'll allow it"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Cool"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I always assumed that slings were the twirly slings."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(in D&D)"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "What about the guard's knickers? Aren't they elastic?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Shaborys), "Remember, a sling is different from a slingshot."
[slingergame] DM says, "Oh hm"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "What Rush said."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oh."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That is to say: the rag without the broom will work even better."
[slingergame] DM says, "But I mean, a rag would work better as a twirly sling"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Exactly."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(In real life, you can do more damage with the twirly kind anyway.)"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Outside of like.. that one religious myth, I'm mostly unaware of slings."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Great for, say, critting a giant soldier right between the eyes.)"
[slingergame] DM says, "Aw"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Anyway. I've got soaps and a rag. Onward."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I've heard that in the right hands, they can do as much damage as some guns."
[slingergame] DM asks (of rush), "How are you doing, weapons-wise?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I'm fine; I don't use weaponss."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "She seemed to do fine against me without one."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I looked at my character sheet and was surprised to see 'quarterstaff' listed."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(when I gave it up at the dor)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "door"
Guard says, "Okay, you guys seem all done. You want to rest for a bit before moving on?"
Vraklul says (to Guard), "Alright, I think we're set."
Vraklul asks (of Guard), "Do you want to come with us, or stay here where you've got a locked door?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Has it been longer than an hour, for Armor of Agathys?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "When did you cast it?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "When we left the cell with Q's dad."
[slingergame] DM says (to rashawndra), "Let's say it's been about an hour."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It's been a couple of weeks since then, I think."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "That doesn't help ;-) Is the spell still active or no?"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "it is!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Yay!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "In that case, let's go!"
Quarion exclaims, "Knights!"
Guard says, "My plan was to open that second door for you, maybe relieve you of Dh* there, and wait till thiss whole thing blows over. No offense, but running around prison with the guys everyone wants to kill? Seems dangerous."
Quarion says (to Guard), "I understand."
Shaborys nods.
Vraklul says, "Sounds good."
Guard says, "That door will lead you via secret tunnel straight to the guard hall at low max. From there on, you should be safe."
Vraklul exclaims, "To the door!"
Quarion exclaims, "Onward!"
Rashawndra asks, "Who's Lomax?"
Guard opens a small door that's half hidden behind a shelf. It leads into a very small, wood panelled tannel. You all have to get on all fours to go through it.
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Dig Jinns, but that's not important right now."
DM says, "one sec"
[slingergame] (from Shaborys) Shaborys says, "I have to crawl? Like a f*ck*ng dog?"
DM says, "As he closes the door behind you, he whispers "Good luck!""
Vraklul will go first to face anything dangerous, unless someone else wants to scout ahead.
Shaborys makes sure everyone is in, and takes up the rear.
Quarion goes right behind Vrak.
Rashawndra takes slot 3.
Quarion wants to be able to react quickly in case of danger.
DM says, "The tunnel is kind of dusty, but otherwise safe. You crawl for 20 feet or so and arrive at another small door."
Vraklul opens the door.
Quarion readies frost in one fist, just in case.
DM says, "You arrive in a small guard room. The weapon and armor racks are empty, and there's just one (human) guy, peering out another door, into the prison. As he sees you enter, he gives a start and slams the (other) door shut."
Vraklul asks, "Hey. How's it look out there?"
Guard says, "(in a whisper) Man, you must be those Knives of Varo Jack, whoever that is.""
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Did we ever get the name of that other guard?"
Vraklul says, "Yup, that's us. Varg Gijak. Old dwarven kingdom. It's a long story."
[slingergame] DM says (to vraklul), "Nope."
DM says, "How did you get here? I assumed, if anything, you had run into the lizards."
Quarion says, "Another guard helped us."
Quarion says, "We rescued him from some nasty guys."
Guard says, "We're all here to help you. The hallways seems pretty clear. Let me check real quick."
Vraklul says, "They were jerks. But pretty weak jerks."
(From DM) The guard opens the door and peers into the hallway. "Okay, looks good.
Rashawndra gets directions before she goes.
Guard says, "Just take this one to the left, and you should arrive in at the gate in a minute or two."
Quarion says, "Thank you."
Rashawndra exclaims, "Thanks!"
Vraklul claps the guard on the back. "We owe you guys."
Guard says, "Yes,yes, go!"
Vraklul goes!
Rashawndra stands on her tiptoes and kisses the guard on the cheek before heading out behind the others.
opens the door
Guard opens the door.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "The guard fumbled his door opening because of the kiss?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Indeddc"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I'm still reeling from it, apparently."
Vraklul goes through the door!
[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Ha"
DM says, "You all move into a long, quiet and empty hallway."
DM says, "The doors clicks shut behind you and locks."
Rashawndra casts Detect Thoughts.
Guard NOW! GET THEM!
Vraklul keeps up a quick pace, not being nearly as catious as he probably should be.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Er, cautious."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Although I guess 'catious' seems like it should be an appropriate synonym."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I think we may have been betrayed."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Curses."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "That's cool. I have a spear now."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Did I get DT off in time?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "It's a two-handed weapon!"
DM says, "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FTASJ14jCf5W_33yFpeIA7nXItI8NRX88GnJpsvTwhU/edit?usp=sharing"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Clearly the silence is due to everyone reeling from the sudden betrayal."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "A map!"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Or maybe the guard's friends all betrayed *him*, and we're just standing around in the hallway alone."
DM says, "Where it says "door", is where you came through, so positions yourself around there."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "He said to go left, yeah?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks (of DM), "Did I get Detect Thoughts off in time?"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Let's say you did!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Woo!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I was using it for:"
[slingergame] Rashawndra | You can also use this spell to detect the presence of
[slingergame] Rashawndra | thinking creatures you cant see. W hen you cast the
[slingergame] Rashawndra | spell or as your action during the duration, you can
[slingergame] Rashawndra | search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The spell can
[slingergame] Rashawndra | penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches o f any

[slingergame] Rashawndra | you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as
[slingergame] Rashawndra | described above, even if you cant see it, but it must still
[slingergame] Rashawndra | be within range.
DM asks (of rashawndra), "You sense the thoughts of the Guard = Man, I didn't believe that worked! How the hell did they get in the secret tunnel? I'm sure the LIzard King will take care of them. What am I gonna with all that gold?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Can Detect Thoughts cross a wall of text? LOL"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Provided the text is less than 30 lines thick."
DM exclaims, "That tiefling was really cute though! What a shame!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Hee"
DM says, "And let's roll init"
Shaborys clears the initiative.
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 4 = 8
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 4 = 20
Shaborys registers Shaborys at init 20.
[Crows-Nest] (from Vraklul) Rashawndra says, "I guess I'm not the only one who likes Shaborys..."
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 2 = 5
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 1 = 8
Vraklul registers Vraklul at init 5.
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "So, nobody else within 30 feet?"
Quarion registers Quarion at init 8.
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 + 2 = 4
Rashawndra registers Rashawndra at init 4.
Rashawndra signals the others that this is a trap!
[slingergame] DM says, "Nope"
Quarion exclaims, "A trap? Curses!"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "hehehehe"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "sigh"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Meanwhile, some distance away in an unknown direction, Shaborys sword is screaming to itself."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 11 | 11 + 1 = 12
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "The dagger, which I still have on me."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "The one we're not using."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh! Right."
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Darn, with all that, however did we ever manage to fall into this trap?"
[Crows-Nest] DM exclaims, "The danger is not within 30 feet!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Ah."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "That makes sense."
DM registers Lizardfolk = at init 1.
DM registers LizardfolkSh = at init 6.
DM registers Lizardking = at init 12.
DM displays the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
DM advances the initiative: SHABORYS(20) Lizardking =(12) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
DM exclaims, "Stabby! The hallway is empty!"
Rashawndra whispers "There's a Lizard King to watch out for, but nobody within 30 feet. Yet.
Shaborys creeps down the hallway to the right of the map, with her dagger out, looking in both rooms over that way.
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Are the blocks 5 feet wide or 10?"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "5?"
DM says, "In the top room, you see two lizardfolk, and one especially large lizards, seeming waiting to attack"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Always 5"
[slingergame] Rashawndra nods.
DM says, "In the lower room, there are also two Lizardfolk"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "One sec. I guess I use my bonus dash, too."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Do the gaps have doors in them that are open, or are there no doors at all?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "The rooms are cells, and the cell doors are open"
Shaborys handsignals to the others that there are baddies in these rooms.
Quarion nods.
[slingergame] DM asks, "By creep did you mean "use Stealth to not get noticed"?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do you still have enough action left to attack?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "If I must, yes."
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 10 = 30
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "That's my stealth."
DM exclaims, "Even you others don't see her!"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I can attack, but I'm not sure I want to, until y'all are closer, because then it's me and them."
[Crows-Nest] DM exclaims, "She's so stealthy, the shadows hide inside Shaborys!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Good point. Ready an attack?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(E.g., 'as soon as the fighting starts, sling a soap at X'?)"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I'll use my action to switch to the sling, since I said I had the dagger out, and I burned my bonus action alrady."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Or carry both, or something, if I can only pull it out."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Alternatively, dash was my action, and my bonus was quick hands or whatever it's called. But either way, that's all I can do."
[Crows-Nest] DM says (to You), "are now a Slinger"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I have a cunning plan already."
Shaborys motions to get your tails over here.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "It has to do with the geometry of the map."
Rashawndra mouths back "I'm the only one with a tail!"
Shaborys is kind of racist, it's fine.
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "I also have a plan. It has to do with the sharp end of my spear."
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) LIZARDKING =(12) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oh, I didn't realize he was so high on the init. Damnit."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Anyway."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "It's 'hit someone'. That's my plan. There are further details, like 'that someone ought to be an enemy', but that's the core of it."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "That's OK, he doesn't know we're here yet."
DM says something in draconic and readies his trident. (As Stabby can see)
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) QUARION(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "It's a good plan. I've used it before. Sometimes repeatedly in the same battle. It usually works, eventually."
[slingergame] DM says, "Plan A : Attack Plan B = Bonus Attack"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Hehe"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Rush), "Except for when the guard yelled out that we're here, earlier?"
Rashawndra whispers to Vraklul "Haste?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "They're presumably waiting for us to wander into their trap."
Quarion runs forth until he can see the Lizard king and his henchlizards! 'You guys shouldn't really huddle together like that in small cells. It's a bad strategy against a wizard... LIKE ME'
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I think that got retconned because of my Detect Thoughts?"
Quarion ensnares them in a WEB!
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hmm, I'm going to wait until we see what the lizards are doing before I answer Rush."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "ou conjure a mass of thick, sticky webbing at a point of your choice within range. The webs fill a 20- foot cube from that point for the duration. The webs are difficult terrain and lightly obscure their area. If the webs aren't anchored between two solid masses (such as walls or trees) or layered across a floor, wall, or ceiling, the conjured web collapses on itself, and the spell ends at the start of your next turn. Webs layered over a flat surface have a depth of 5 feet."
[slingergame] DM says, "Spiderelf, Spiderelf"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Sure, please mask the Web on the Map"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Can you get that far in one turn?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oh, just barely, I think."
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) Quarion(8) LIZARDFOLKSH =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I literally filled the cell with web"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If he was between Rush and me, yes."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Each creature that starts its turn in the webs or that enters them during its turn must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained as long as it remains in the webs or until it breaks free."
Shaborys slinger @emit Quarion has learned Sneak Attack!
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oops."
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "You have critically fumbled!"
DM asks, "Suddenly, at the other end of the corridor, a ... dinosaur appears out of thin air?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Wooot."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Ah. I have a guess as to what 'Sh' might stand for now."
Shaborys . o O ( What the f*ck is that thing? )
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Sh...it."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9 + 1 = 10
DM registers = Allosaurus at init 10.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do I want to run up and start attacking, or wait for Rush to haste me, mostly giving up my turn?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Can we disbelieve? How do illusions work in 5e?"
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) = Allosaurus(10) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) VRAKLUL(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think the former might be more appropriate to be honest."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "You can move through an ally's square, right?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says (to rashawndra), "I think that depends on the spell"
[slingergame] DM says (to vraklul), "Yes"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I just have to see you to cast it."
Vraklul exclaims (at Rush), "If you can catch me!"
Rashawndra says, "I just have to... well, good luck."
Vraklul rages as a bonus action, then runs into the face of danger. At the crossroads, he sees that one room is already well in hand by QUarion, so he goes for the other one.
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I think we determined last time that twinning haste on V and S works pretty well, since they can both use it for attacks, right?"
Vraklul recklessly attacks the first lizardfolk he sees!
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Tactically sound, yeah"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14 + 7 = 21
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 7 = 27

Vraklul rolls 1 8-sided die: 5 | 5
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That's a 20."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "With the crit?"
[slingergame] DM asks, "So 22 all in all?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I have Savage Attack (extra die on crit) and Great Weapon Fighting (reroll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for two-handed attacks)."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "22 in all."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "No."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "20 in all."
DM exclaims, "That is one dead lizard!"
Vraklul exclaims, "Guys, don't worry! They're wimps!"
Vraklul advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) = Allosaurus(10) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) RASHAWNDRA(4) Lizardfolk =(1)

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, dang, I should have had a second attack. Or well, I missed it. My fault."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "OK!"

DM says, "hits"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "10 damage."
DM exclaims, "Ok. Rush!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Why a 6-sided die now instead of an 8?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra does the Haste thing.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Uh, because I am dumb and a bit sick and not thinking straight."
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "reroll it!"
Vraklul rolls 1 8-sided die: 4 | 4 + 6 = 10
[slingergame] DM says, "ha ha ha"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ha"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hee."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "perfect."
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Well, you told him to re-roll it!"
DM says, "From the western end of the hallway, two lizardfolk appear - one from the southern, the other from the northern cell"
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Hold on!"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "The northern cell needs to make a DEx 14 save"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Not from the webbed room."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Q), "I don't think they've started their turn yet."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Oh, at the end f the round?"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Yeah, western end!"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Ah."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Got it."
[slingergame] DM says, "Plus, two others step out of the cell, shoot with what looks like a guard crossbow, and move back it."
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "First ranged attack on Rush!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "This is the rooms by the allosaur, right?"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 4 = 5
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Not that I can see this, from where I'm standing.)"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Second ranged attack on Quarion!"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9 + 4 = 13
Quarion says, "Nope."
[slingergame] DM says (to vraklul), "Yes"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "As bad as my AC is, that still misses."
Quarion says, "(Mage armor: on!)"
DM exclaims, "The lizardfolk in the webbed room trie to escape!"
[slingergame] DM says, "I assume the saving throw is against Quarions Spell DC thing"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yep! 14."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "(dex)"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It has advantage."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 11 | 11 + 4 = 15
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Because I am reckless."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Does 17 hit?"
Vraklul hastily sidesteps the attack, as it just whiffs past ruffling his sleeve.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(It would have, if not for RUsh!)"
DM says, "And lastly, the lizardfolk in front of Vrak also attacks him"
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Yay!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And also has advantage."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 4 = 7

DM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

Vraklul casually ducks under the blow, lazily watching it swing past over his head.
Shaborys steps in front of the cell door, takes aim at the lizard king with her sling (twice because haste), and then moves past the door to stand on the other side.
DM says, "(afk real quickly)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Advantage for all attacks against me until my next turn."
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 7 = 20

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "I presume both hit?"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Figured it was easier to just get them out of the way."
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "You presume correctly!"
Shaborys rolls 1 4-sided die: 1 | 1 + 4 = 5

DM says, "The lizardking too, is restrained."
Quarion exclaims, "Ha!"
DM says, "but he too, has a ranged attack, and he can see both Vrak and Quarion"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Wait, did Shaborys take her extra attack?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I did!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "OK, awesome."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Carry on ;-)"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Since DM was afk, I rolled both at once to wait for results."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Right."
DM says, "And since that wizardling webbed him, he is gonna attack him, with a thrown (makeshift prison) trident"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 5 = 10
DM says, "*thunk*"
Quarion raises an eyebrow. 'Is that the best you can do?'
Lizardking curses in Draconic.

Shaborys shouts, "Watch out!"
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) = Allosaurus(10) QUARION(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do we want to attack the allosaurus, or just kill the lizardfolk and then try to tame it?"
Quarion exclaims, "Watch out, Rush!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(The latter option may involved being bitten by an allosaurus slightly more than the former option.)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Well, it appeared out of thin air, so it's either an illusion or a summoned creature."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh yeah, summoned things vanish after a bit."
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Can I roll something to figure out if this is magic?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Arcana, one presumes."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Because I don't want to waste magic on attacking something that's not real, and I don't have any level 3 slots left."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Investigation, I believe.."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "At least for minor illusion."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "(Which I know b/c I have it)"
[slingergame] DM says, "Arcana works"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Even if it's an illusion, it might still be able to attack you."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I have Investigation as a skill at +6? As opposed to Arcana at +3"
[slingergame] DM says, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
[slingergame] DM says, "Okay fine, roll Investigation"
Quarion is suspicious and takes a look at this so-called dinosaur.
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 6 = 19
DM says (to quarion), "Aha, this is clearly a use of Conjure Animal. Therefore, not an illusion."
Quarion exclaims, "Guys! It's real! Rush, run!"
Quarion exclaims, "I repeat: not an illusion!"
[Crows-Nest] DM exclaims, "Run, Rush! Rush!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "I could tell that from its breath!"
DM asks (of quarion), "Do you move or is that your turn?"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "If she runs, it gets an AoO!"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Oh."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "can't you use disengage as an action? Unless Rush wanted to do something else."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I've just decided there is a bard group in Wolfwater called Allosaur Love Bite. Thanks, Vrak."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "True."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yeah, it's either disengage or just attack it, and I think it might be better to attack."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "If she stands there, I'll try to take it out with sneak attack,too."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "You're welcome!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Shaborys), "Good point."

Rashawndra calls to Quarion, "If this is a summoned creature, do you have any idea how strong it might be?"
DM exclaims, "A lizard folk steps out of the lower room to the west. he points at the hallway and mubles something! The room between the cells fills with fog! Then he disappears into his cell again!"
Rashawndra counterspell!

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Hey!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "meta gaming"
[slingergame] DM says, "Let's not get to meta here ... right"

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 11 | 11 + 7 = 18
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 7 = 23

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "This game has a lot of stuff you need to tkae care of."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Yeah."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I can't attack and retreat, right?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "I'll do better on my next turn!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(said like that, it seems obvious ;-)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "You can attack and run away, but you won't get the advantage of using a retreat-y style action."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "If they fail, full damage and they're pushed away, otherwise half damage"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Since they're all within 15 feet of Quarion."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Anything within 15 ft that's not an ally"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yep."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Nice."
[slingergame] DM says, "Very nice"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 1 = 8
[slingergame] DM asks, "How far are they pushed?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Hopefully that doesn't de-web them?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "10ft."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "That's sort of an odd spell effect combination."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I think it says that anything restrained stays in place."
[slingergame] DM says (to rashawndra), "It does, but since they start their turn in the ... oh?`"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 1 = 19
[slingergame] Vraklul says, ";That's inanimate objects."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Ah."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think the lizardfolk are pushed as normal, but if that still leaves them in the web, then they still have to do the 'start their turn in the web' saves."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "But still, the web's not destroyed, then, since it's moored in place"
[slingergame] DM says (to rashawndra), "It does, but since they start their turn in the web again, they have to do another Dex save :-)"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 1 = 17
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(If it pushed them out of the web, they would probably be free.)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "yeah"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 1 = 19
DM says, "The webbed guys are some tough lizards"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9 + 1 = 10
DM exclaims, "Lizardfolk are flying everywhere!"
DM says, "Well, the king and one other"
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) = Allosaurus(10) Quarion(8) LIZARDFOLKSH =(6) Vraklul(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Oh, shouldn't the lizardfolk in the south cell be gone now?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Since I introduced him to the Stab-o-matic?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes"
DM exclaims, "The shaman pops out, and casts a spell at Vrak!"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul pencils that into his character sheet. It is now officially named 'Stab-o-Matic'.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Bring it, shamo."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Sigh, out of l3 slots for counterspell."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Well, now I'm worried."
DM says, "Actually, vines grow on the ground around all of you. Everyone needs to make a STR save or be restrained"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14 + 1 = 15
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Shit."
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 4 = 16
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 4 = 16
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Versus?"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 - 1 = 17
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 1 = 14
DM says, "The DC is .......... 12"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "HA ha."
Quarion says, "That shaman's magic is just a sham."
Shaborys kicks the vines away.
[slingergame] DM notes down "create tougher encounters."
Rashawndra says, "Hey, I'm still smarting from that Allosaur bite."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "How about the lich king? Is he entangled?"
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "He's no lich!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Ha ha"
DM says, "It's still difficult terrain. And, instead of popping back in the cell, he runs down the hallway (away from you)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Er, lizard king, sorry."
[slingergame] DM exclaims (at vraklul), "Spoilers!"
[slingergame] DM says, "(and no)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Speaking of creating tougher encounters..."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of DM), "Is the shaman now off the map to the west?"
[slingergame] DM exclaims (at vraklul), "Yes!"
DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) = Allosaurus(10) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) VRAKLUL(5) Rashawndra(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
Vraklul jabs the not-undead-spellcast royal with his spear! (Recklessly.)
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 11 | 11 + 7 = 18
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 7 = 23
Vraklul rolls 1 8-sided die: 3 | 3 + 6 = 9
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Hit?)"
[slingergame] DM says, "yes"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Alive?)"
[slingergame] DM says, "yes"
Vraklul does it again!
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 7 = 17
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 7 = 27
Vraklul rolls 3 8-sided dice: 4 4 5 | 13 + 6 = 19
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Crit! Alive?)"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Still alive!"
Vraklul does it AGAIN!
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 7 = 19
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15 + 7 = 22
Vraklul rolls 1 8-sided die: 5 | 5 + 6 = 11
DM says, "*Still* alive"
Vraklul gives the lizard king a *very* annoyed look.
[slingergame] DM says, "That was triumph. I'm making a note here : huge success."
Vraklul advances the initiative: Shaborys(20) Lizardking =(12) = Allosaurus(10) Quarion(8) LizardfolkSh =(6) Vraklul(5) RASHAWNDRA(4) Lizardfolk =(1)
[slingergame] (from Quarion) LizardKing says, 'I've still got 1 HP!'
Rashawndra slips behind the lizard king and kicks him in the leg, Inflicting another green Wound.
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 7 = 20
Rashawndra rolls 3 10-sided dice: 5 10 4 | 19
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "He does what he can because he must. For the good of all of them (except the ones who are dead)."
DM says, "The Lizard King turns out while a green wound eat his leg. As he crumples against the wall. He stares at Rash. "You? Why would he send ... you? I don't understand. How are you so young?" And then he dies."
DM exclaims, "You are victorious!"
Shaborys yiss.
DM says, "(The webbed lizardfolk give up)"
Shaborys shakes her tail in victory.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I assume the ones in the hallway and in the far cells do too?"
Vraklul says, "Alright, guys. Everyone back to your cells if you know what's good for you."
[slingergame] DM says, "You see them run down the hallway (the ones in the far cells), the ones in the hallway give up, too."
Rashawndra says, "He? Who would send me? What the..."
Rashawndra asks, "Anyone else here know what he's talking about?"
Vraklul locks up anyone who actually listens to him instead of just running away.
Quarion frowns. 'That's odd. I have no idea who he would be talking about.'
Rashawndra interrogates the webbed lizard folk.
Shaborys hm.
DM says, "The thunderwaved ones in the hallway and the webbed folks give up."
Shaborys loots the dead lizardfolk.
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "And the shaman is still running and the archers give up?"
DM says, "You get some prison jumpsuits, guard crossbows, heavy improvised clubs and some nice shivs."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims (at Shaborys), "That one has a lovely blue jumpsuit she's not using anymore!"
[slingergame] DM says, "The shaman and the archers ran away."
[slingergame] Rashawndra nods.
[Crows-Nest] Roger asks, "y'all have Speak With Dead yet?"
Vraklul compares the club to his spear.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Nope."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "We barely have Speak With Dog."
DM says, "The loudspeaker crackles, and you hear a familiar voice."
Rashawndra tries Persuasion to get the prisoners to tell her what they know about what the Lizard King was on about.
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 8 = 21
Vraklul tucks the two-by-four/greatclub into his backpack. It might come in handy.
DM says, "TO ANYONE IN THE PRISON! This is Captain Esteban! Fun's over! Everyone back to your cells! We are going in, and we have orders to put everyone who resists down for good. So don't make us do that.""
Quarion exclaims, "Hooray!"
Vraklul exclaims, "Yeah, go Captain!"
DM asks (of rashawndra), "Do you speak Draconian?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "No, just common, infernal, and Giant."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Rush's too nice to be draconian, let along speak it"
Rashawndra asks, "Anyone else here speak draconian?"
Shaborys shakes her head.
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "The king obviously spoke common."
Quarion shakes his head as well.
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Does Detect Thoughts translate?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I think so."
Vraklul says, "I speak Goblin."
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "it does!"
[Crows-Nest] (from Vraklul) Wanda's ears perk up.
[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "OK, if we have no language in common (ha ha) I will cast another Detect Thoughts!"
[slingergame] DM asks, "On who?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I mean whom"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Well, I'll check the surface thoughts of everyone in turn, and then focus in more on whoever seems to know the most."
[slingergame] DM says, ""They have killed the king! They must come from a fearsome swamp!" "Ugh, that web got everywhere!" "Haha, these losers think I don't speak common!" "I totally could have taken that orc""
[slingergame] DM says, "(only in the room)"
Shaborys hides one or two of the nicest shivs on her being.
Shaborys passes up the crossbows. Too tough to reload.
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks (of third_guy), "Hey, what was the deal with what your king said when he died?"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "I presume we're going to get out of here safely?"
Shaborys grabs one for now, to discard.
Rashawndra asks (of third_guy), "Hey, what was the deal with what your king said when he died?"
Third guy says something in Draconian.
Rashawndra listens to what he was thinking.
DM asks, "Man, she totally looks like a blue cat! I wonder what the king meant when he said that stuff? Maybe she looks a bit like the Queen of Rags?"
Rashawndra says, "I know you speak common. Ask your friends what they thought the king meant."
Lizardfolk says something to the others in Draconians and then looks at you.
DM exclaims, "They said you can go to hell!"
Rashawndra's eyes start to glow, and electricity sparks between her horns. (minor illusion)
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "If that doesn't get anywhere, you might also ask who the Queen of Rags is. It'll tip your hand, but..."
Rashawndra reads the thoughts of the friends, too.
DM says, "(they do come from a fearsome swamp!)*(I wish I spoke Common like Ruzgh)*(Oh shit, better make up something about the Queen real quick, I don't want to get in trouble with Old Man Burton)*(That elf is really cute)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "the third was the same guy I've been talking to?"
[slingergame] DM says, "yeah"
Rashawndra asks, "Someone put out a hit on us. What can you tell me about that?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(to same guy)"
DM says, "You mean here, in the prison, just now? I guess the old man wants you dead."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "And is he thinking more detail?"
Rashawndra asks, "Burton, you mean?"
Rashawndra asks, "Where is he? How do you get in touch with him, or he you?"
[slingergame] DM says, "he is thinking : Burton is probably covering his tracks pretty well. No way they're gonna nail this on him."
DM says, "(suddenly fearful) I didn't say Burton. You said Burton. ALl I know is that Mr. Burton is a well respected trader of this city."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion exclaims, "!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion exclaims, "Here!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion exclaims, "In Wolfwater!"
Rashawndra says, "The 'old man', then."
DM says, "Listen, I'm just a small time mook. But even the king doesn't, er didn't get in contact with him directly. It's all done through middle men."
Rashawndra asks, "Like who?"
DM says, "The only one I know is a guy called the Lover."
DM says, "He is a big number in the underworld."
Shaborys stands menacingly behind Rush, holding the crossbow up, inspecting it, not *intentionally* aiming it at reticent lizardfolk's head.
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Surface thoughts to see if he's lying and/or also knows someone else."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Also to get an impression of this Lover guy."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I'm sure he's absolutely Lover-ly."
[slingergame] DM says, "He's not lying, but he really knows very little. He has seen this Lover guy on occasion. He seems to be some sort of ... winged humanoid? it isn't really clear."
Rashawndra asks, "And where might we find this Lover?"
[slingergame] DM says, "And he is thinking of a woman, a tiefling? Clad in dirty rags, who talks very little but sees a lot."
DM says, "Go to the Grumpy Gnome in the slums. That's where we always met him."
[slingergame] DM says, "(true)"
Rashawndra asks, "What if I wanted to find another tiefling?"
DM asks, "Like, for sex?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "We're thinking of starting a band, you see."
Rashawndra can't help laughing.
Shaborys aims the crossbow a little more true.
Quarion merely raises an eyebrow.
Rashawndra exclaims, "Ha! No, I'm good. I mean, I'm not all... never mind! No, for information!"
DM says, "(does she mean the queen? She does mean the queen? She tricked me somehow! That blue bitch!)"
DM says, "I, you mean any Tiefling? There are a lot of you living in the city."
Rashawndra, able to tell that the spell's about to run out, just probes his mind for information about the tiefling/queen of rags.
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Which is contested Int, I think."
[slingergame] DM says, "Wisdom"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 1 = 13
[slingergame] DM asks, "What's my DC?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion exclaims, "It's a battle of the wits!"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I can't tell. Is it my Wis? My spell bonus?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Your spell save"
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "My spell bonus is +7. Is that the same as the save?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "No."
[slingergame] DM says, "Not really. It should be somewhere on your sheet."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "15, it says."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Top of page three.)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Aha! Yeah, 15."
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "So Rush succeeds!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And the lizardmook realizes that she's got his skull cracked open and is reading him like a book."
DM says, "(The queen of rags is most direct link to Old Man Burton most people in the Underworld know, and she only appears if Old Man Burtons affairs are directly affected. She is mysterious, rarely speaks, but sees a lot, seems to be a powerful spellcaster, and seems to know basically everybody)"
DM says, "(She is a bit of boogeyman in the criminal underworld)"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "One of those NPCs we won't be fighting until level 8, I reckon."
Rashawndra asks, "Right, the queen of rags. How do you find her? Where is she?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(this is where a contested int could end the spell, if he wants to resist, I think.)"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "It wants to do so!"
DM rolls ??? (1d20-2) + 4dF: +1 0 0 +1 | Good (3)
Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15 + 2 = 17
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 - 2 = 18
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Hey, no fudging your rolls."
[slingergame] DM says, "Wow"
DM says, "The spell suddenly ends."
DM says, "And he glowers at you and Shaborys in turn."
Shaborys growls quietly, "I suggest you answer her."
Rashawndra grins at the guy and her eyes flash. "Thanks! You've been super helpful. I'll be sure to let Burton know.
Quarion says, "Time to explain this mayhem to our friend Esteban."
Rashawndra says, "I mean, unless you want to answer that last question."
DM says, "A group of city guard round the corner of the hallway, crossbows and halberds at the ready."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "oof. I was *about* to kill one of the lizardfolk. Guess not :)"
Vraklul looks up from where he's been sitting on the floor, cross-legged, meditating with his eyes shut. "Are we all set here?"
Lizardfolk says, "Oh don't worry. You don't find her. She will find you."
Shaborys drops the crossbow.
Rashawndra says, "That makes things convenient, then."
DM exclaims, "YOU! IN THE CIVILIAN CLOTHING! PRISONERS! EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND!"
Rashawndra exclaims, "Hey, guys! Good to see you!"
Rashawndra says, "You have a traitor in the closet."
Rashawndra sits down wearily.
DM says, "OF COURSE I CAN SEE IT'S TWO TIEFLINGS, AN ORC AND AN ELF. Oh."
Quarion complies with orders.
DM says, "The lower their weapons. Esteban appears from the back of the group, weaponless as usual."
Esteban says, "Phew, you folks are okay."
Quarion says, "Thankfully so."
Vraklul asks, "Hey, Esteban, how's it hanging?"
DM says, "(The guards arrest the lizards) and move on.)."
Rashawndra says, "Yup! The guard in the closet sent us into an ambush, you should probably know."
Vraklul says, "There are more of their cronies down that way, including a shaman. Keep an eye out."
esteban says, "It's not hanging so well, my friend. We had to ferry the city guard over here in fishing boats and clear up the warden's mess. And the worst thing is, someone already confessed to the crime."
Rashawndra says, "The guard in the *other* closet that we healed was probably OK, though."
Vraklul asks, "Oh yeah? Who?"
esteban calls two of his people over to deal with Traitor_Guard.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Rush), "I assume you're also describing them, so he knows which one is which?"
Esteban says, "Let's go outside and meet him."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I wouldn't put it past Traitor_Guard to try to fake them out.)"
Vraklul says, "Sounds good."
Quarion says, "Very well, captain, lead the way."
Vraklul gets up off the floor where he was sitting.
[slingergame] DM says, "One was a half orc and the other human, so it's not that hard."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, I am just suggesting that we assume Rush told them that fact :)"
DM says, "You make your way outside, back to the frontof the prison. City guard and prison guard have prisoners on the ground and try to sort them out. Smoke rises from parts of the prison. A group of city guard in heavy armor run in just as you leave. You make your way to a corner, where a bored looking prisoners stand."
Rashawndra describes the guards.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Bored looking? Oh."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "It can only be..."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the place where our weapons were stashed nearby?"
Esteban says, "He is in here for life, and he confessed he wanted to kill you. Didn't you, Driso?"
[slingergame] DM says (to vraklul), "Yes"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "oh, nevermind."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I was thinking Horst confessed."
Driso says, "Yes, it was me. I did it because I'm an agent of the blackness, I guess? Blackness will rule or whatever."
Vraklul asks, "Right. Who told you to say that?"
Driso says, "(totally bored tone) It is the true. I did it because I hate you all with all my heart."
[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I have one more detect thoughts slot, if we think it'll help?"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Detect Thoughts is not admissable evidence!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "hehe"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But the dude already confessed, so we don't need admissable evidence."
Esteban says, "Hmpf, takes this scum away."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "We just need a lead that we can use to go beat up more bad guys with."
Esteban says, "Old Man Burton usually covers his tracks pretty well. I've been trying to pin something on him for years."
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "But we have my father's business to handle first!"
Esteban says, "Worst thing is he always used the law against us, or evades us through some loophole."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Taking down the mob takes time."
Vraklul says, "I guess maybe some people can't be easily handled through Lawful means."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Q), "One combat round at a time."
Esteban says, "I won't give him the satisfaction of taking him down in some unlawful way. it would be easy to hire some travelling adventurers to attack his villas, fight through 3 floors of increasing difficult enemies and finally fight the old man himself."
Rashawndra asks, "What kind of evidence would we need?"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Ha ha ha"
Vraklul asks, "Indeed. Do you happen to have the addresses of those villas, by any chance?"
[slingergame] Shaborys tries to catch up from the last five minutes.
Vraklul says, "So we can, uh, collect legal evidence against him."
Esteban says, "We would need a confession that is given willfully. Maybe from some of his high lieutnants, who know of enough of his machinations?"
Rashawndra asks, "There's a couple people we've heard of. A Queen of Rags, and a guy known as 'Lover'--know anything about them?"
esteban stares at Vraklul. "Listen to me well, Vraklul Wellington. Anyone who attacks Burton in an Unlawful way will be hunted the same way we hunt any other criminal."
Vraklul makes a mental note: keep kidnapping his lieutenants until we find one willing to confess.
Vraklul frowns but says nothing.
Rashawndra asks, "So, perhaps a lieutenant who's working for him under duress?"
Esteban says, "The Queen? I always thought she is a boogeyman, to keep the mooks in line. The Lover operates some bar in the slums. He is some sort of low-level scum. Nobody really important.""
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Vraklul wants to ask Esteban about the city's laws about self-defense. But I am restraining him, because that seems like a potentially bad idea."
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Have we seen Driso before?"
Rashawndra says, "Well, she's definitely used as a boogeyman, but I think she might be real, too."
Esteban shrugs. "If you find out anything, let me know."
Rashawndra nods.
[slingergame] DM says, "No"
Quarion says, "Anyhow, this visit has given me the insight I was looking for. Thanks, Captain."
Esteban says, "And now excuse me, I have a prison riot to clear up."
Rashawndra says, "Let us know if we can help. We're so sorry about everything."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "So, in-game, Quarion will be already impatient to prep the journey south."
Vraklul says, "Sorry about all this -- we'll be going out of town for a little bit, so hopefully anyone else trying to kill us won't be doing it in the city for a while."
(From DM) He waves to one of the fishing boats. "Perthes! Take these guys back to the city."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "yay"
Vraklul collects his gear first.
Esteban says, "Hey, it's not you doiung the killing. I don't blame you for oppossing a vile criminal."
Shaborys retrieves her dagger from the stab-o-matic (using another dagger to cut it free), and then collects her other weapons.
Quarion does what he does.
DM says, "You collect all your gear and leave the prison behind. (And make your way back to the mansion?)"
Vraklul is deeply disappointed, but tries (with no success whatsoever) to hide it.
Quarion says, "Back to the mansion. We have to start preparing for our quest."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Mansion sounds good to me."
DM says, "That night, you all have the same dream."
Vraklul says (to Quarion), "This is your mission -- I think you should take the lead on this one."
Quarion says (to Vraklul), "Thank you."
Quarion uses Prestidigitation to make his robes billow heroically.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(OK, we will listen to the dream now.)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "We are all ears."
DM says, "In the forest the uincorn runs, strong and steady. It runs as it has run for ten thousand days or more. But something else runs in the forest. Black dogs sniff the air and the forest falls quiet. The unicorn runs, but it has begun to grow tired."
[slingergame] Shaborys adds "bunch o' shivs" to her character sheet, for later surprise use.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "Some of us even more than others?"
DM says, "TO BE CONTINUED"
[slingergame] Shaborys drools a little in her sleep. Unicorn.
[slingergame] DM says, "hehe"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yay"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "A) Yay I have Ocrsbane back."
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "But B) My new class feature, that I hadn't really gotten a chance to use before, really helped with Stab-O-Matic!"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Get your own dagger."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "You can have one of my shivs :D"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Heh. So, this coming Sunday, we'll finally set forth on a brand new adventure, deep south into the heart of darkness."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I was happy that Haste worked so well, too."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh yeah, we should look at the schedule..."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So next weekend, we're playing on Sunday (feb 3), and the weekend after that, on Saturday (Feb 9)..."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yes. And then maybe not the following weekend, and definitely not the following Saturday (but I could probably do Sunday), and probably not the following week (March)."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "We're still waiting on ggg's con plans to decide the weekend after that (Feb 16/17), and there's no ggg for either Saturday or Sunday for the following two weekends (Feb 23/24 and March 2/3)?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I could do the 24th, I think, yes."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Oh, Sunday Feb 24 is a possibility?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "It works for me. What about everyone else?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "It works for me too"
[slingergame] DM says, "(Sorry, was afk)"
DM says, "EPILOGUE: Someone else in the mansion dreams of being hunted. Bloodfang wakes with a growl from dreams of evil dogs, of fear and no escape. He looks around the quiet room, jumps on the bed, where Quarions sleeps, in his own dreams. This place smeells safe and warm. He lies down, rolls up in a ball and sleeps, content."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "awwwww"
[slingergame] Shaborys aw, puppy.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Next week, Quarion will have to decide whether or not we're taking him along."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of DM), "How is Sunday, Feb 24 for you?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Tough choices."
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Sunday the 24th is OK for me, but again I could be a bit late."
[slingergame] DM says, "Can't do."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Aw."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Let me think about the 17th. Maybe I'll just get a Saturday pass."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Darn."
[slingergame] Quarion says (to Shaborys), "17th? Intriguing."
[slingergame] DM says, "It's the thing that would usually be on the 3rd."
Roger disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "How do March 9 and March 16 look? Is it too soon to tell?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Tangentially, if we time this right, we might be looking at a revival of CC in April/June?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I'm definitely ok with the 9th, but the 16th depends on whether I'm flying to SF that day (getting more and more unlikely though)"
[slingergame] DM says, "Let's pencil in the 9th then"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Sounds good."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Con season. Bleh. Sorry."
[slingergame] DM says, "(We're talking about March 9th, right?)"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "It all happens at once."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "yeah"
[slingergame] (from DM) We'll just kill Stabby.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Aw, no."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "hey, Quarion will not let that happen"
[slingergame] DM says, "I'm just kidding. I'm happy we manage to play as often as we do."
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "We've got the pearl thingies!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "It seems like it's probably too early to start guessing about when CCC will return."
[slingergame] Quarion says (to Vraklul), "Fair enough."
[slingergame] DM says, "I assume the Forest adventure will be ... a few sessions."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Not least because we can't even predict when we'll be *playing*, much less how long it'll take us to succeed at our quest.)"
[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Heh"
[slingergame] DM says, "Also, I keep adding stuff"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "E.g., a unicorn."
[slingergame] DM says, "The unicorn is one of the oldest idea of the campaign"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "just like Blade Runner Director's Cut"
[slingergame] DM says, "So, unless there's something else, I'm heading to bed"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Thanks for indulging me, kids!"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "You're welcome! We couldn't have done it without you!"
[slingergame] DM says, "haha, if only that were true"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Thanks for the game :-)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Well, we couldn't have done *this* without you. The rest of us don't even know the unicorn's name."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Sweet dreams! (with... unicorns!)"
