[slingergame] Bert says, "Log on."

[slingergame] DM says, ""hello, fantasy kids"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ahoy, Captain DM."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Hello"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Previously on Knights of Bastafore, our heroes had come face to face with a wild cliffhanger!"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Are we all here?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Also, AAAAH | Recapped 10 of 666 lines from rooms/dtt (06d19 to 03m35 ago)."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Rush is 11 hours idle."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "So no"

[slingergame] DM says, "He said he might be late"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok!"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Latte? I didn't order that!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Give me time to clean my desk"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I thought it was the 27th when he was supposed to be late."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(It being a Sunday.)"

Rashawndra says, "I'm here."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "yay"

[slingergame] DM says, "Woo"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Sorry; was finishing breakfast ;-)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Any lingering questions etc."

[slingergame] DM says, "The most important meal of the day"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I don't quite remember the cliffhanger."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Where are we at the moment, terrain-wise?"

[slingergame] Vraklul (to Rush) | DM says, "And that night, you all have the same dream ..."

[slingergame] Vraklul | DM says, "The unicorn gets up, bloodied, knees buckling. Dead beasts, black as night, surround it. It holds up its head, proud, unbeaten. But there are more howls in the forest, more sounds of feet and claws."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Oh, got it."

[slingergame] Vraklul | DM says, "Slowly, it limps away, blood trickling from its torn flank."

[slingergame] DM says, "Your're still in the forest."

[slingergame] DM says, "And just woke up after that cliffhanger."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Heehee 'Your're'"

Vraklul says, "I just had another one of those unicorn dreams."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Are you making fun of accent? :-)"

Rashawndra says, "Did you guys... oh. Yeah."

Shaborys nods.

Rashawndra asks (of terrain), "We need to get there quickly, OK?"

Vraklul asks, "Does anyone have any better ideas for finding it than 'walk in a direction and hope'?"

Vraklul looks at the heartstone.

Quarion has arrived.

DM says, "it gives no indication of activity. It looks like a regular old, vaguely heart-shaped stone."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I was in the wrong room lol"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "wondering why nobody was saying anything"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Ha"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "snrk"

Rashawndra, brightly, says, "Well, let's go rescue us a unicorn!"

Vraklul exclaims, "OK!"

Rashawndra packs up and striked out in the same direction they were going.

Vraklul follows Rush!

Quarion says, "We must harness the power of the heartstone! Wait, where are you going? *rushes after Vrak and Rush*"

DM says, "So you all walk for a while, and after another hour or so the forest gives a way to lush meadows, with mountains in the distance."

Quarion says, "Meadows. Mysterious."

DM says, "And as you move towards the mountain, you notice, far in the disant, a glorious white city, in the side of the mountain, that seems to guard all the land around you. And after you've walked for another hour or so, you find a small tunnel in the mountain before you."

Vraklul says, "Oh, hey, a cave."

Quarion exclaims, "This must be the place!"

Vraklul asks, "Think it's the cave of the heart?"

Shaborys asks, "Maybe?"

Shaborys says, "Only one way to find out."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I assume there are no signs!"

Vraklul exclaims, "Right!"

Vraklul goes inside, holding the heartstone aloft!

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Also, I didn't mean the exclamation mark here."

DM says, "(Something like this https://www.webwhiteboard.com/board/57pbfgv5)"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "'This way to the Cave of the Heart! Admission 5 gold. No refunds! Must be taller than this sign.'"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Rush will have to polymorph herself again."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "haha"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra exclaims, "Ha!"

DM says, "As you draw nearer to the tunnel, you notice that it must go straigh through the mountain, because you can see a faint circle of light at the other end, but between you and it the tunnel is dark. Neither your darkvision nor any magic light can penetrate it."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Um."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "haha, whoever is doing that"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra asks, "?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Rush), "The whiteboard."

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Haha"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Oh, ha."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Someone saw joker at an impressionable age."

Vraklul is undaunted, and still goes inside.

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Hee."

Rashawndra asks, "We were wondering earlier if there was a city we could get anti-hag stuff from. Do you suppose we should stop by?"

Vraklul says, "Oh. Um."

DM says (to Vraklul), "As you step inside, you notice that the heartstone seems to wait for something? A command, or a word maybe? Also, the footing here is uneven, and stuff constantly crunches under your boots."

Vraklul asks (of Heartstone), "Which way to the unicorn?"

Quarion asks (of Rashawndra), "Maybe we should cast protective spells before going in?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Can they still see Vraklul now that he's stepped into the darkness?"

DM says, "the heartstone begins to glow, very faintly, barely enough to help you make out your immediate surroundings. You notice that the ground here is covered in a thick layer of ... bones. Bones of all shapes and sizes. Some sickeningly white and fresh, some yellow and brittle."

Vraklul says, "Huh, I guess we're not the first ones to try this."

[slingergame] DM says, "As soon as the heartstone begins to emit a little light, they can barely make you out."

Vraklul exclaims, "On the other hand, those other ones might have been bad guys trying to hurt the unicorn. But we're good guys trying to help it, so maybe whatever killed those bones won't hurt us!"

Quarion exclaims, "Vrak, bones can't die!"

Vraklul turns back to the mouth where the others are. "Do you think we should go to he city first, or...?"

Rashawndra says, "I could go either way."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Do you want to attract animated skeletons? Because that's how you attract animated skeletons."

[slingergame] DM | See, long ago there was a unicorn here, but nobody has really seen it for ages. And it's glen is beyond the court of the king of twilight. And they do not allow anyone past. And the only other way to the unicorn's glen is supposedly this cave."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, I was just thinking about that."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So the city might be said court."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And they might not want us here."

[Crows-Nest] DM says (to rush), "We know that about Rush. Please focus on the plot."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Hee."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says (to DM), "Ha, but also, that's not true! That was just Vrak."

Quarion exclaims, "This is the best way, Vrak. The court of the whatsits will try to oppose our noble actions!"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Between him, me, and Stabby, we're both, one, and neither."

Rashawndra nods.

Rashawndra exclaims, "OK, through the cave, then!"

Quarion exclaims, "Protective spells!"

Rashawndra says, "And yeah, protective spells sounds good."

Quarion glows with the power of Mage Armoooooor!

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Anime-style"

Rashawndra's skin shines with frost for a few seconds, ending with her horns.

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "(I watched some Jojo while in Poland. It was quite something)"

Vraklul considers casting Speak With Animals, but decides that's probably not all that protective.

Vraklul asks, "Alright, are we all ready?"

DM says, "You all cast your protective spells. Still, the cave mouth looms."

Shaborys nods.

Quarion says, "Knights! Ready steady..."

Vraklul leads on!

Shaborys takes up the rear.

Rashawndra follows.

Quarion follows, with as much style as possible

DM says, "And so you move into the cave. Vrak is the only one who can see anything, and barely at that. Also, your footing is very unsteady. Bones keep crushing underfoot, and it's kind of hard to keep your balance."

Vraklul tests the way forward with the heart, moving it from side to side every so often, to see how it reacts to one direction or another.

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Our marching order is both, same, other, neither."

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Oh, it's just one straight tunnel."

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "A 'straight' tunnel?"

Rashawndra keeps an arm on Vrak's elbow to steady herself.

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Ha."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Yeah, OK, whatever you say."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I stand by my plan."

Quarion says, ""They do not come in anger, but in despair..." I don't have a clue if that's going to help us now. *thoughtful while walking*"

DM says, "And so you slowly, unsteadily, move forward, with everyone here and there loosing their footing when some old bone cracks underneath, and soon enough you are surrounded by darkness. There is only the faint light of the tunnel entrance behind you, and the light at the other end, small, flickering, somehwere ahead. And Vrak, illuminated by the heartstone, nothing more than the faintest of shadows."

Vraklul asks (of Heartstone), "Can you produce any more light than that?"

DM says, "There is no reaction from the stone at all."

Vraklul shrugs and continues on.

Quarion grumbles 'Be the light', they said, 'be the light'...

Vraklul tries to Be The Light!

Vraklul says, "Oh, yeah. I just remembered something."

Quarion asks, "What?"

Vraklul says, "The quickling said we would need to 'give something' to get through."

Vraklul asks, "I wonder if we're supposed to be giving it now?"

Quarion says, "I hope we don't have to give our bones."

Vraklul thinks about his cloak, and pricks his finger every morning like he does when he feeds it, then lets the blood drop onto the heartstone.

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I meant, 'like he does every morning when he feeds it'."

DM says, "There is now a drop of blood on your heartstone."

Vraklul exclaims, "OK, Heartstone, you keep leading the way!"

Vraklul continues forth, as he's been doing!

DM says, "Suddenly, there is a strong gush of winds from up the tunnel, where you've been going. The heartstone flickers, goes out. The darkness is almost absolute, pressing on you."

Vraklul exclaims, "Hey, something is happening! That's gotta be a good sign!"

Shaborys yipes.

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Can we still see the light at (what we've been assuming is) the end of the tunnel?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, but it seems far away and very dim."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Have we been walking long enough that it should have been getting bigger? And has it?"

DM says, "It takes you a moment to realize that there is actually a voice in the wind, because it's just more than a whisper and it says..."

(From DM) Cave of the Heart says, "give us a piece of your heart, wanderers."

Shaborys hm.

Vraklul asks (of Voice), "What does that mean?"

Quarion exclaims, "Oh, no! This explains the name of the Cave!"

Quarion asks, "Is this the end???"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Vraklul), "It's actually hard to tell... How long have you been moving? How big should it be?"

Shaborys asks, "Maybe it's whatever we care about the most?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ah, yes, one of *those* tunnels."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims (at Shaborys), "But if we all turned over each other, then there wouldn't be any of us left!"

(From DM) Cave of the Heart says, "No trinkets. Give us your secrets, give us your pain."

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys was thinking gold, but sure, that's a sweet sentiment :D

Vraklul exclaims, "Oh!"

Shaborys oh. Um.

Quarion asks, "If it's just that, why all the bones?"

Quarion asks, "Did only the heartless venture here?"

Vraklul tries to remember if he has any secrets.

Rashawndra whispers, "I'm in love with Shaborys, but she can't love me back that way."

(From DM) Cave of the Heart says, "Some did not dig deep enough within themselves."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That is far, far shorter than I expected Rush's confession to be."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Ha!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I think the Cave was answering me"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "But the timing made it chime with Rush's confession"

DM says (to Rush), "Yeah, sorry about that. Same question, though."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Also my TAB autocomplete completes Rush's name wrong and I can't for the life of me find out why"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says (to DM), "I said it kind of quietly, but I am imagining the acoustics of the place oddly amplifying it."

Vraklul says, "I guess... I *do* feel kinda guilty about one thing. When I think about how Astaforth is trying to destroy the world, and I worry about little bit about it..."

Vraklul says, "...I'm usually only *really* worrying about the people I know. People back at home, or the other Knights, or people that we've saved."

Vraklul says, "And not... all the thousands of other people in the world who might die too."

Vraklul asks (of Voice), "Is that the kinda thing you want?"

DM says, "There is a certain air of ...waiting, but no answer per se."

[slingergame] Shaborys struggles for some bit of backstory/feelings to share.

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Heh."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I gave Vrak a pretty happy childhood."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Shabby had a shitty childhood she wants to forget, but I haven't delved into exactly what that is."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Other than when her special place was Davina's home."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I guess he *did* miss out on ever knowing any of his grandparents. But I don't think that scarred him too heavily."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Feel free to make something up right now :-)"

Vraklul looks around hopefully at the others.

[slingergame] DM says, "Only here."

Shaborys says, "Does. Does it have to be out loud? Can you see into my heart? (OOC: I promise to show *something* concrete.)"

Vraklul asks, "Do you want us to cover our ears?"

Shaborys says, "Maybe? I'm not sure I have words to say what I need to say."

(From DM) Cave of the Heart says, "Speak, or join those failed."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Ouch, time to roll a new character"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "sorry, was that too soon? It's too soon"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "And don't forget to roll a few extra time on the Secrets And Traumas table this time."

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "haha. Fine, I'm thinking."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "What about you?"

[slingergame] Quarion says (to Vraklul), "I have a few ideas."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Let's see what the others come up with"

Rashawndra puts her hand on Shaborys's shoulder. "It's OK. We're all here, and it's just words."

[slingergame] DM says, "Maybe go first while Thinky stabs? Er, the other way round."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm still not sure if they accepted Vrak's, or If I'll need to think of something better..."

[slingergame] DM says, "*Steeples fingers*"

Vraklul lights his pipe while the others are thinking.

Quarion looks rather sombre.

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Your match doesn't light"

Vraklul frowns.

Vraklul asks, "Anyone have a light?"

Quarion tries to light a magical spark with prestidigitation.

DM says, "Nothing that produces any sort of light seems to work in here."

Vraklul says, "Huh."

Quarion snaps his fingers, pointlessly.

Vraklul says, "Oh well."

[slingergame] DM asks (of Quarion), "Maybe you should go first while Shaborys thinks?"

[slingergame] Quarion says (to DM), "OK."

Quarion says, "You know, I was very alone once. Like that night in the Forest, abandoned, lost. Angry."

Quarion says, "When you're a kid, monsters hide in every shadow. That night, I lashed out at the darkness. At everything."

Quarion says, "And not everything wanted to hurt me. I killed innocent creatures. I didn't see the difference. I was angry, and everything was evil to me."

Quarion says, "I've always borne that rage in me since. Fire calls to me. I defend people by killing or hurting others."

Quarion says, "Even if it's magic, even if it's not my fists that dealt the blows, it's still my anger that lies beneath."

Quarion says, "That angers which has driven my battle against evil forces. And sometimes, I dream of a future where that anger is gone."

Quarion says, "A future where I could stop fighting, just relax, just be content with the good that I've found."

Quarion says, "But I'm not so sure I'll be able to stop fighting. I feel like my end will be in battle, against impossible odds, ripping reality apart in my rage."

Quarion says, "Which is sad because I feel like that anger shouldn't define me. It doesn't."

Quarion says, "I should be able to fight when needed, and find better ways otherwise."

Quarion says, "But I don't have that wisdom. Vrak has it. I don't."

Quarion is silent.

[slingergame] DM says (to Quarion), "Wow."

Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Hey... I wasn't born knowing how to control my rage. It look a lot of work, and I needed a lot of help."

[slingergame] DM says, "Have some inspiration for that."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Aw"

Vraklul says, "After we're out of here, if you want, I can try to teach you some of the things I've learned."

Quarion asks (of Vraklul), "Thank you. You're a great friend, you know that?"

Vraklul shrugs and grins, but doesn't say anything.

[slingergame] DM says, "Nobody can see him grin, though."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "hehe"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Aw."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Please, guys, don't leave Quarion alone in the dark. Pass the Cave's test!"

Shaborys says, defiantly. "Fine. You want to know my deep dark secret? It wasn't an accident. And I don't feel guilty or sad about it. Just angry that it didn't happen sooner. And I would do it again, and again, and again, if it would help." She says something in infernal, that sounds a bit like "fuck him and fuck you", as her voice gets louder and more steady, until she's shouting into the void.

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Aww."

[slingergame] DM says, "Also wow."

[slingergame] Shaborys points to 'unfortunate death' on her character sheet

[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "Please also have some inspiration."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Aw"

DM says, "The wind that's rushing through the tunnel dies down, and just as it fades you hear (or think you hear?) ..."

(From DM) Cave of the Heart says, "Proceed."

Shaborys says, "We will."

Shaborys hmpf.

Vraklul says, "Thanks."

Vraklul makes sure everyone is together, then proceeds.

Quarion says, "*deep breath* Onward."

DM says, "The heartstone flickers back on, and Vrak takes a step, and tumbles out of the tunnel. (The rest about the same). Bright sunlight bites into your eyes and you find yourself in the most beautiful forest you have ever seen."

Vraklul exclaims, "I think we made it!"

Vraklul asks, "Is this the unicorn's glen?"

DM says, "Green grass tickles your ankles. Healthy, strong reen trees grow all around, building a thick canopy that lets in bright, summery light. And yet, something is wrong here. It takes you a moment to realize. There are no birds, or other voices."

Quarion says, "Strange."

Vraklul looks for signs of anything having passed by here. E.g., a unicorn? Or beasts hunting it?

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 0 = 1

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I... OK.)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Oh."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "If we were doing critical fails in this game, the sunlight would have LITERALLY bitten into his eyes"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hee."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Haha"

DM says, "Not at first, but as you move deeper into the forest, you find a badger that has been slain by ... something. And from there you can sort of follow the trail. There is a dead fox next, signs of a struggle. A few hundred feet down you find three black, doglike creatures that have lie dead in some underbrush."

DM says, "(-have)"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Fortunately, 'a trail of bloody carcasses' is easy enough to follow even with a 1!"

Vraklul says, "I don't like this looks of this."

[slingergame] DM says, "heh"

Vraklul says, "This isn't just the work of an animal killing for food. This is vicious."

Vraklul says, "Let's go. We need to find where this leads."

DM says, "You follow this trace further and hear some noises further ahead, like some animals running through the forest."

DM says, "(Perception, everyone!)"

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 0 = 6

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 19 | 19 + 6 = 25

Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 - 1 = 15

DM says, "Okay, that's enough - Shaborys, you feel that's whatever is moving through the forest there has noticed you as well."

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 3 = 9

Shaborys says, "They know we're here."

Vraklul asks, "If they know we're here, then we don't need to be quiet, right?"

Vraklul exclaims, "Hey! Whatever's out there, come out where we can see you!"

DM exclaims (at Vraklul), "What answers you and everyone is a long, drawn-out intimidating baying!"

Rashawndra asks, "And unicorn! Maybe come here for a last stand?"

Vraklul runs toward the braying!

DM exclaims, "How intimidating? Roll a DC(13) WIS save and find out!"

[slingergame] DM says, "(Everyone, that is)."

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 1 = 8

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 3 = 15

Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 19 | 19 + 2 = 21

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Thank you WIS save proficiency"

[slingergame] DM exclaims (at Vraklul), "You are frightened and do not want to move towards that baying!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Nooooo!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Surely I'm not wise enough to recognize the danger!"

DM says, "Also, there is a square here. Place yourselves and roll INI. Or roll INI and then place yourselves. It's only important these two things be done by the end: placing yourself, and rolling INI."

DM says, "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z8OmBO1uzwtkek7HnpWKvCX9AeMaE0D8uBXfJ4vETVA/edit?usp=sharing"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I guess Lesser Restoration doesn't cover 'fright'?"

Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 17 | 17 + 1 = 18

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It covers paralysis."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the box the clearing where we were standing?"

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 4 = 14

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "And the senile horror's aide."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Also man. 1/12."

[slingergame] DM asks, "No? Are they frozen?"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yeah, if you scroll, they don't move"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Shaborys), "Oho."

[slingergame] DM says, "Hm, can't find how to switch it off"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "There, fixed."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So in this map, I assume the red squares are the enemies?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I hovered over the line between 2 and 3, grabbed, and dragged it up."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra asks, "And the brown squares are trees?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "indeed it is so"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Okay! The both seem unhappy about this development!"

[slingergame] DM says, "(also, weirdly, the forest does not catch on fire as you'd expect it to)"

[slingergame] DM says, "(one sec)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Sorry, rat fight."

DM says, "Quarion! The big, burly dog that is not the yh that you just burned disappears from sight and then appears right next to you (it attacks from invisbility, so it has adv)"

DM says, "Wait! Sorry, the sm1 does that"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 5 = 15

Quarion exclaims, "Hellhound! You cannot defeat me so easily!"

Quarion deflects attack with magical shield!

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So it turned invisible, ran to Quarion, bit him, and then (as a result of attacking) turned visible again?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Correct"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Also I cast Shield"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Stabby! Same thing, only for you!"

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Also, it takes cold damage from AofA. Hang on; looking up the amount."

DM says, "You are also prone."

[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "Important: Do you tell it "Hey, cool off?"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "15 > 13 She's still prone?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(There are now two sm3's and sm4's on the map.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "OK: 10 pts cold."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Oops. I think the second SM4 was SM5. Thanks."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "So I'm prone but not badly prone or something?"

DM says, "No, sorry, you are not prone."

Rashawndra gets knocked down, but she gets up again.

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Never gonna keep her down."

Rashawndra exclaims (at dog), "You're never going to keep me down!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If they missed, do I need to do a -- I guess not."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "'sma' makes me think of IKEA"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Ok, so standing up is.. half my movement? And I still get an action or no? Does standing up provoke AoO?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It makes me think it's Scottish and small."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "haha, more appropriate"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I don't know about AoO's, but I don't *think* it affects your action."

DM says, "The main dog, the one Quarion burned, let's out a terrifying howl. Not quite as terrifying as the baying of the other dog thing, but still pretty bad. (DC11 WIS, everyone)"

Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 2 = 8

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 3 = 9

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(And yes on the half your movement.)"

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 1 = 5

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "What are the effects of the fright?"

DM says, "You (Q&R&V) are now frightened of the sma. It looks like mastiff, and since it is dark, you decide to call it Shadow Mastiff."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Disadvantage on ability checks and attacks while it's in line of sight; can't move toward it."

[slingergame] DM says, "Boom! Flawless exposition."

DM advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) SHABORYS(15) Vraklul(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

Shaborys pulls out a dagger and stabs at sm3.

Shaborys oops

Shaborys meant her sword

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Okay!"

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 7 = 13

DM exclaims, "Hit!"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Them being frightened shouldn't affect sneak attack from standing next to it?"

[slingergame] DM says, "I don't see why it would"

Shaborys rolls 5 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 5 3 | 20 + 4 = 24

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "And we're not frightened of those things, anyway."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "But you're in line of sight of sma"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "True."

DM says, "You've killed the poor doggie. I mean the terrible shadow beast. Anyhoo."

Shaborys yiss.

Shaborys disengages and moves into its spot

Shaborys advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) VRAKLUL(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

Vraklul doesn't understand what's gripped him, to make him so frightened of the beasts to the north, but he can still help his friends by fighting off the creatures attacking them!

Vraklul rages, then moves to recklessly attack sm2!

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(This gets an AoO from sm5.)"

[slingergame] DM asks, "With disadv, IIRC?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yup, since I'm raging, and Totem Eagle."

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 + 5 = 13

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 5 = 17

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Miss!"

DM says, "*snap snap* *growl*"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "If you moved to K14, would that give you a normal attack against sm4?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Since you can't see yh from there?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I fear both sma and yh."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Oh, ha."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Anyway, reckless gives advantage, which should cancel the disadvantage."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "What are the rules for diagonal line of sight?"

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 8 = 9

[slingergame] DM says, "See, if you behaved in Barbarian school, you got thrown into the dog pit."

[slingergame] DM says, "But don't you mean misbehaved? No I don't."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Clearly I needed more time in the dog pit!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Like, can I see sma at O13?"

Vraklul advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) Vraklul(10) YH(8) Rashawndra(4)

[slingergame] DM says (to rush), "Hmmmm... that's a good question."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'd go with a line drawn from the center of her square to the center of its square."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks (of Vrak), "Do you not get multiple attacks?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Or have you not raged?"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh! Right!"

Vraklul backs up the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) VRAKLUL(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 19 | 19 + 8 = 27

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(That's also against sm2.)"

Vraklul rolls 1 12-sided die: 2 | 2 + 7 = 9

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Reroll!"

Vraklul rolls 1 12-sided die: 9 | 9 + 7 = 16

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Assuming 27 hits, that's 16 damage.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Noted."

Vraklul advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) Vraklul(10) YH(8) Rashawndra(4)

DM says, "The yeth hound moves closer and then let's out its terrifying baying again. Everyone who resisted it before can shrug it off. Everyone else roll a DC13 WIS save"

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 + 1 = 9

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But of course not."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You could try inspiration."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "If it was worth it."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I didn't get any Inspiration."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Oh, and you used yours from last time."

Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 2 = 18

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Remind me that a special thing happens on your next turn"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Right, I used it to resist the spiders."

DM advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) Vraklul(10) yh(8) RASHAWNDRA(4)

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at DM), "OK! I'm sure that will necessarily be a good thing for me!"

[slingergame] DM says, "hee"

Rashawndra panics, and tries to polymorph yh and sma into clams!

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wis(15)"

[slingergame] DM says, "I think I will just use the real names of the monsters in the future, as I find this a) always looks silly b) makes fight feel a bit to mechanical for my tastes"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 1 = 19

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "That makes sense."

DM exclaims, "The yeth hound is unaffacted!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I agree"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 1 = 7

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And if you don't want us to know IC, we can keep that knowledge separate."

DM exclaims, "The Shadow Mastiff alpha clams up!"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Oh no, a power vacuum"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I assume that does not stop the fright?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "That would be hilarious."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "(Ilac.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Actually, the theory of a single alpha in wolf packs has been disproven for a while, and actually the one who wrote the theory is working hard to disprove it and ... nevermindf"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Hee"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "yeah, it's a sad tale"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "(Not you, DM)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "For my movement, does it look like these guys can climb trees?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I guess I could roll something."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Rolling Nature!"

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 2 = 7

[slingergame] DM says (to rashawndra), "I'd say no, because the effect is from the howl. And Vrak and Q being afraid of a clam is just hilarious."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yes. Yes it is."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "And I!"

[slingergame] DM googles "can dogs climb trees".

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I think that's a 'no'."

[slingergame] Quarion says (to DM), "I succeeded at my second roll"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Quarion), "Where you frightened the first time?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "yes"

[slingergame] DM says, "Ah. Good on you then. :-)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It's the alpha that's been transformed."

[slingergame] DM | The breeds of dogs known to climb trees include the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard, Tree Walker Coonhound, Jack Russell Terrier, New Guinea Singing Dog and the Raccoon Dog

[slingergame] DM says, "I'd say Rush has a clear sense of "Maybe ???""

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Hey, I won a free dog walk on this site"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Congrats! Maybe another site will give you a free dog."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Actually:"

Rashawndra exclaims, "Quarion! If you teleport us out of here, maybe we can land in a tree? I'm not sure if they can climb or not!"

Rashawndra advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

DM advances the initiative: SM/QUARION(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) Vraklul(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

DM says, "Q-Man"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Vrak will take thunder damage if he's within 10ft of us"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I'm sure he's OK with that ;-)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Vrak probably won't -- exactly."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What about Shaborys?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Or can you bring them both with you?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "nah"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Rush and I will go to N12"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "and then teleport."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "wait no"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "But AoO?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I'll get an AoO if I do that."

[Crows-Nest] DM says (to Quarion), "You'll get an AoO from the Shadow Mastiff .. timing"

Quarion exclaims (at Rashawndra), "No time to teleport! Stand your ground, I'm going to try and kill them all with fire!"

Rashawndra stays frosty.

Quarion goes all fiery!

Quarion rolls 8 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 1 3 5 3 1 | 20

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Allies protected!"

DM asks, "Whence do you place it?"

Quarion exclaims, "In such a manner as to engulph all the Shadow Mastiffs!"

Quarion exclaims, "Soon they shall be Shadow Stiffs!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What's the radius?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "20ft"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Then just north of Rush should get everything."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But you run the risk of curing the clam."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Maybe just place it as an outline on the map (the point of origin is an intersection point between squares)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, I forgot the intersection bit."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Never mind."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "It's hard to draw a circle on the map"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Between M11 and N12? How does that do for you?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "http://i.stack.imgur.com/AoXda.gif"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I don't know if I can realistically avoid the clam (and in-game, I'm not sure if I would have noticed the polymorphing in the heat of battle)"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I think you pick an origin and then go 4 squares in every direction"

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Oh, neat"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Google image searched 'fireball area of effect on a grid'.)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Drew a fireball that burns all except the clam"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "and sm1"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "darn sm1"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think you shortchanged yourself slightly on the width, but not in a way that would affect anything except trees."

[slingergame] DM asks, "I think you overwrote the yh. I think he was there?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "He was next to the clam"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Ok!"

[slingergame] DM says, "So, now everyone but the clam rolls a DEX14"

[slingergame] DM says, "(right?)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "sm1 is also spared"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Excluding PC's that he sculpted it around?"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 2 = 3

[slingergame] Quarion says, "yep"

DM exclaims, "Shadow Mastiff No.2 is burned to ash!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Also, uh, I think Shaborys is fire colored."

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 2 = 20

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Damn straight"

[slingergame] Rashawndra sighs dreamily.

DM exclaims, "Shadow Mastiff No.4 avoids a bit of the fiery ball of fire!"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 11 | 11 + 5 = 16

DM says, "As does Sm5"

DM exclaims, "And now it's their turn!"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "I wonder if Google Sheets supports some kind of 'lay down an outline of this shape onto the current sheet based on this location' feature."

[slingergame] DM asks, "Can the clam roll anything?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is he at the top of a hill?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If so, he probably can roll."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "PHB doesn't mention any extra rolls for polymorph."

[slingergame] DM says, "Yep, it's screwed."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at DM), "On the plus side, half of us can't get close enough to hurt it!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yeah, it has to get damaged, or do clam things."

DM exclaims, "Mastiff No1. bites at Quarion for burning all his friends!"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 5 = 17

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Or wait an hour, or hope you get distracted."

Quarion pulls up a shield of magical energy! BONG!

DM exclaims, "SM4 bites at Vrak!"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 5 = 21

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It hits!"

DM exclaims, "But fails!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Actually -- not that it matters much -- was that a save or a straight check?)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wow."

DM advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) SMA(17) Shaborys(15) Vraklul(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

[slingergame] DM says, "Save"

DM advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) SHABORYS(15) Vraklul(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Does that mean its howl expires?"

Shaborys slides in next to Rush, and stabs at doggie #5.

[slingergame] DM says, "no, but you can roll a save on your turn"

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 19 | 19 + 7 = 26

[slingergame] Rashawndra nods.

DM exclaims, "Hit!"

Shaborys rolls 5 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 5 4 | 18 + 4 = 22

Shaborys then disengages and slides back to where she was.

Rashawndra says (to Shaborys), "Man, you are amazing."

DM exclaims, "it's still alive!"

Shaborys grins.

Shaborys advances the initiative: sm/Quarion(18) sma(17) Shaborys(15) VRAKLUL(10) yh(8) Rashawndra(4)

DM exclaims, "Vrak!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Should I roll saves against anything?"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Also, I heard something special was supposed to happen on my turn!"

[slingergame] DM | &{template:default} {{name=**Yeth Hound**: *Baleful Baying*}} {{Desc.=The yeth hound bays magically. Every enemy within 300 feet of the hound that can hear it must succeed on a ***DC 13 Wisdom saving throw*** or be frightened until the end of the hound�s next turn or until the hound is incapacitated. A frightened target that starts its turn within 30 feet of the hound must use all its movement on that turn to get as far from the hound as possible, must finish the move before taking an action, and must take the most direct route, even if hazards lie that way. A target that successfully saves is immune to the baying of all yeth hounds for the next 24 hours.

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Whoops, did not mean to post all of that. So yeah, you use your movement to get as far away as possible!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh no!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra is glad she didn't cast 'haste' on Vrak ;-)

[slingergame] DM says, "he he"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at Rush), "I was just thinking the same!"

Vraklul nearly trips over himself getting out of reach of the yeth hound!

Vraklul exclaims, "Somebody kill that thing!"

DM says, "And you can roll a DC11 Wis save to no longer be frightened of the yeth hound"

DM says, "Er the Alpha, sorry"

Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 0 = 12

DM says, "Woo! Babysteps."

[Crows-Nest] (from Shaborys) Vraklul says, "It's just a clam!"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "Yay!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You realize it's just a clam."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Whoops, timing ;-)"

Vraklul, once he's a safe (he hopes) distance, turns around and throws a javelin at the yeth hound!

[slingergame] DM says, "If you're nervous, just imagine everyone in the audience as clams"

DM exclaims, "7 piercing damage!"

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9 + 3 = 12

Rashawndra maintains her concentration!

[slingergame] DM says, "Hm. So you would take extra damage if you are frightened. I guess technical you are frightened, but I'm not sure if the implication here is supposed to be "frightened by him":"

[slingergame] DM says, "But I'll say so. But, you get to make a WIS1 save against the howl."

[slingergame] DM says, "11, that is."

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 17 | 17 + 3 = 20

Rashawndra shakes off the effects of the howl, remembering that she turned it into a clam.

DM says, "You are no longer frightened of the clam."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "That would be enough to fell a Shadow Mastiff."

[slingergame] DM says, "So, the alpha was only somewhat wounded, so this leaves him at ... -45"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "he is dusted"

Vraklul exclaims, "We got 'em!"

Vraklul asks, "So were these the things chasing the unicorn?"

Vraklul asks, "Where's the unicorn now?"

DM says, "As if in anwer, a vision. More intense than the ones you had before : You see, just in a flash, an image. The korred you, fought before, his hair-rope around the unicorn, surrounded by more monsters. And then another flash, this one is like ... an emotion, but as a message."

[slingergame] DM says, "So, like, you have an intense rush of the emotion, but it passes quickly, if that makes sense."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It does."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Any particular emotion, or just the abstract concept of emotionality?"

DM says, "*PANIC* - and other flash *FEAR* and other flash, more direct at y'all this time *HOPE?*"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is there a direction associated with this vision?"

Rashawndra exclaims, "We're coming!"

Quarion exclaims, "The Knights are on their way!"

Rashawndra asks, "Anyone wounded?"

Rashawndra says, "Er, besides me."

Vraklul shrugs. "Yeah, but not enough to worry about."

Quarion says, "I didn't lose a single drop of blood. But I'm a little low on magic. Too many fireballs."

Shaborys says, "Just a little. I'll be fine."

[slingergame] DM says, "No."

Rashawndra cures her wounds.

Rashawndra rolls 1 8-sided die: 7 | 7 + 4 = 11

Rashawndra tries tracking.

Rashawndra rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 + 6 = 8

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(survival)"

Rashawndra says, "Going in a random direction usually works, but let's try this way."

Vraklul collects his javelins while Rush scouts.

Rashawndra heads out, trying to track and also feel where the message came from.

DM asks, "So you run in that direction for ... how long exactly?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "You tell us!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Does it seem like it's working?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "78 minutes, 14.92 seconds."

[slingergame] DM says, "You run through the forest."

[slingergame] DM says, "But after, say, 2 minutes, you have not found the unicorn (which was in some sort of clearing)"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "We have not found the unicorn? Darn it!"

Vraklul says, "Wait, I have another idea."

Rashawndra thinks. Were there any landmarks in the background of the vision?

Vraklul stops running and climbs a tree to get a better look around.

DM says, "Make an Athletics check to see how fast you do that"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "If this is anything like the last tree we climbed, then see you in a coupld of sessions!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Spin-off-time!"

DM says (to Vraklul), "You can spot some sort of clearing to the west. But you can't tell if there is anyone in it."

[slingergame] DM says, "Maybe half a mile away"

Vraklul exclaims, "I see a clearing! We should try for that!"

Vraklul climbs back down and points out the direction. "About ten minutes that way."

Quarion exclaims, "No time to waste!"

Rashawndra heads out.

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(afk briefly)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Then later, we find out what these CON rolls *really* meant.)"

DM says, "You hear a commotion on the clearing before you can make it out through the trees. A pained whinnying (sp?) and the excited barks of more of those mastiffs."

Vraklul rages as he approaches!

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(back)"

DM says, "As you reach the edge of the clearing, you can see the unicorn, white, proud, but bloodied. The korred has one of his hair-ropes around its neck and tries to pull it down. Three mastiffs bark around it."

Quarion is a green flash.

Rashawndra casts Haste on Vrak and Shaborys!

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I smell an init roll."

DM says, "Everyone expect Vrak make a DC18 INT check"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "This effect may be different from an attack."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Since it involved a save, not an attack roll."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Can I cast cantrips while grappled?"

DM says, "It also throws a (rather large) rock at Vraklul"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Yup."

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 9 = 14

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 9 = 10

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "So it tries again!"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 9 = 19

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 9 = 25

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It does!"

DM rolls 4 8-sided dice: 5 3 1 6 | 15 + 6 = 21

DM exclaims, "Bludgeoning!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Also, were you rolling with disadvantage or advantage?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Disadvantage"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Because you get advantage for my having just attacked recklessly."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Which I guess changes nothing about the result!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Ok (doesn't really change anything though)"

DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(23) ???(22) Vraklul(18) Rashawndra(10) Unicorn(9) Korred(7) MASTIFFS(5) Quarion(3)

DM exclaims, "Man, still me? Okay!"

DM says, "The dogs dash to catch up, but can't attack this round."

Shaborys says, "Bad doggy. Go away."

DM advances the initiative: Shaborys(23) ???(22) Vraklul(18) Rashawndra(10) Unicorn(9) Korred(7) Mastiffs(5) QUARION(3)

DM says, "Q-Man"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Well, can I still wave my hands about?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Grappled means he can't move?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, nothing more"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "OK"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "He can move in the sense of using his hands and ducking and stuff."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I have a fourth level slot."

[slingergame] DM says, "Ooooh."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But not move in the sense of walking or running or climbing or stuff."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Excellent."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "There are several options: megafireball, banishing the unicorn temporarily to protect it from the korred..."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Banishing?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Or even levitation."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Would banishing the korred work better? Or would it get a save or something?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Well, it depends on whether I can quickly find something that a unicorn/korred hates"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does the korred hate us?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Otherwise, a megafireball on the korred and his minions (while avoiding the unicorn) could work wonders."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "If his hair is magical, I could try dispelling it, but that's riskier."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh!"

[slingergame] DM says, "You are not items! You are creatures."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "The hair is no doubt distasteful to the unicorn."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "At this particular moment, extemely so."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "It's a bit of a streth."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "*stretch, even"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, 75 feet. I counted."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I am technically in possession of korred hair... or rather, it is in possession of me."

[slingergame] (from Quarion) Keanu says, 'Take the hostage out of the equation!'

[slingergame] Quarion says, "The problem however..."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "...is that the unicorn makes a CHA save. And the charisma of a unicorn..."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "...must be a wonder to behold."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Ehh, megafireball it is."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "But you can choose to fail a save, right?"

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "What's the word of God on this?"

[slingergame] DM asks, ".Quarion If you go with fireball, maybe use the border function ... oh. Hmmm, I'd say so?"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "But would the unicorn understand that it should?"

[slingergame] DM | No rule lets you opt to fail a save. As DM, I might allow it, assuming you aren't incapacitated or dominated."

[slingergame] DM says, "Well, you don't know IC if it does or not, so I'm not gonna comment."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "OK"

Quarion points a finger at the korred.

Quarion says, "MEGAFIREBAAAAAAALL"

Quarion rolls 9 6-sided dice: 2 6 4 3 2 3 1 5 6 | 32

(From DM) Koored says, "Cuuuurse you, Quaron!""

Quarion exclaims, "It's Quarion, you fiend! Quarion with an I!"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Yeah, who do you hit with this?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm just impressed it knew his name at all."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Just the korred."

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 2 = 15

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "This no doubt provokes one or more attacks of opportunity, which are at disadvantage."

(From DM) Korred says, "So you think you are the only one who can hit people really hard?"

DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15 + 9 = 24

[slingergame] Quarion says, "*piano chords*"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Vraklul), "How much HP do you have left?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yes, I am grappled, but still casting that old magic"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "This feels like a conversation I have a lot with the DM, except suddenly turned the other way around."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at DM), "Five!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "No, I wondered if the korred had to maintain it on its turn."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Ha! This is the first time I've taken damage this session"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Hm, yes. Since you movement speed is 0."

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 7 = 8

Shaborys oh no.

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Inspiration?"

[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "hasted?"

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Hasted, yes"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Or not."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "And yeah, sure. Why not. I'd like to hit twice if possible. Inspiration to re-roll."

Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 19 | 19 + 7 = 26

DM says, "(typing)"

DM says, ""The rope untangles from Quarion and from the Unicorn. The korred stumbles backward. "Haha, you have not seen the last of me- " But as he begins to merge with the ground, the unicorn turns around and with an angry growl skewers him through with its horn."

Shaborys cheers!

Quarion exclaims, "YES!"

Vraklul says (to Korpse), "Yeah, I'm *not* the only one who can hit hard. My friends can, too."

DM says, "The dogs begin to yowl and back away."

Shaborys says, "That's right. Get out of here, you mangy mutts."

Quarion dusts himself and gets back up.

DM says, "*ANGER* flashes through all of you."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "And the slimes?"

DM says, "The slimes slither away but there is a flock of birds that appears of out nowhere and swoops, picks them up and flies away."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Delicious slimes."

DM says, "The unicorn pants heavily and lies on its side."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Like oyster, minus the shell"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Are the dogs completely gone, or just watching from the edge of the clearing?"

Vraklul says (to Unicorn), "You and me both, buddy."

Rashawndra runs over to the unicorn and tries to heal it.

Shaborys puts her bow away and slowly approaches Vrak and the unicorn, keeping her distance with her hands out to indicate she's harmless.

Vraklul sits down next to the unicorn. (But not touching it.)

[slingergame] DM says, "The dogs have run away, never to be seen or heard from again in this story."

Quarion kneels next to Vraklul and Rashanwdra.

[slingergame] DM asks, "Or are they ...?"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "dun dun DUN"

DM says, "*GRATITUDE*"

Rashawndra rolls 1 8-sided die: 4 | 4 + 4 = 8

Vraklul, since all the hostiles are gone, decides to actually lie down. He could use a rest.

Shaborys assumes the haste has been dropped if Rush is casting heal. She slumps to the ground near the others.

[slingergame] DM asks, "Who is hurt =?"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I'm down 20 points."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I only took 10 damage."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I'm fine, I still have *multple* HP!"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Normally I'd dodge to halve that, but both attacks made me prone, so it didn't seem reasonable."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(But, seriously: I'm very hurt, and would very much appreciate a short rest so I could spend some hit dice.)"

DM says, "The unicorn moves its head to Vrak and gently touches him on the forehead with its horn."

DM rolls 2 8-sided dice: 8 3 | 11 + 2 = 13

DM says, "Same with Shaborys."

DM rolls 2 8-sided dice: 3 4 | 7 + 2 = 9

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Healing?"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Unicorn Healing!"

Shaborys reaches out ot pat the unicorn. "Thank you."

DM says, "It tickles a little, and you immediately feel better."

Vraklul says, "Oh. Oh, wow. Thank you."

[slingergame] DM says, "It also neutralizes all poisons and diseases, so Vrak finally loses that embarassing rash."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "snrk."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hee."

Quarion says, "It's been a wild ride."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Did my healing the unicorn help? Can it heal itself?"

Vraklul says, "Yeah. Let's sleep it off."

(From DM) *HOPE*

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, it seems better."

(From DM) *TIRED. SLEEPY.*

Vraklul says, "Yeah. I agree."

Shaborys nods.

Rashawndra asks (of Unicorn), "I still have some magic left. Can I heal you some more?"

DM says, "And it flashes two images at you before you all go to sleep:"

DM says, "The forest of pain, mostly devoid of any sort of guard or enemy."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the Forest of Pain where we left M'Arce?"

DM says, "The second one is a stone circle right in the middle of it, just like the one you came here through."

[slingergame] DM says, "yes"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says (to Vrak), "No, it's a forest where all the trees are made of bread."

Vraklul says, "...oh. *That* must be the circle we were supposed to be finding."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "honh honh"

DM says, "But then it lies down to sleep, and you all cuddle up to it, and go to sleep as well."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "aww"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "That sounds delicious!"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Aw!"

DM says, "*TO BE CONTINUED*"

Quarion says, "zzzz"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra exclaims, "Yaay!"

Quarion says, "[SNORES IN ELVISH]"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Wheee"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I wonder if this means no more random unicorn dreams, or if it just means that our random unicorn dreams will be happier ones in the future."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Man, that combat was awesome!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Also, yay.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims (at DM), "Oh, good!"

[slingergame] DM says, "(I thought. What did you think?)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I know you've been worried about it."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "It was fun!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It felt tense."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "It was thrilling. Vrak nearly died!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "And the stakes were palpable"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It was fantastic as soon as Vrak was allowed to run up to the bad guy and hit it with his axe!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, I've been reading a bit about how to make combat more interesting."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I took damage! That rarely happens :D And Quarion mostly did not. Which also rarely happens ;)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Shaborys), "Ha ha."

[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "he he he"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "hehe"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It's interesting for me to try to avoid taking damage so I don't drop concentration."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "And both combats this time I was surrounded by enemies I couldn't get away from."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Mmm, yes."

[slingergame] DM says, "It's good when enemies have more attacks than "HIT WITH CLUB" but also a lot more stuff to track."

[slingergame] DM says, "e.g. I only now realized the Mastiffs all had damage restistance"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "And I usually make a point to wade in and attack, and in both of these combats, I was unable to actually approach the main bad guy."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "So we both had our tactics challenged."

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Yeah, I was hoping the Yeth's fear attack would work on a few of you"

[slingergame] DM says, "He had some fierce damage when he attacked someone frightened"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Interesting -- but at the same time, it must be difficult for him to do so, since they immediate flee if he approaches."

[slingergame] DM says, "And now for everyone's favorite part : Checking the schedule."

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, it kind of works if he acts before them or corners them."

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "We're scheduled for Sunday, the 27th, I believe?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "October 27 is what everyone *claimed* they could do."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "I always make good on my claims, good sir!"

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Oh oh."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "*Sunday*, not Saturday."

[slingergame] DM says, "Oh, I thought you were going to say you couldn't make it after all"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh, no, I fully plan to be here!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Also, as I mentioned earlier: I *think* Europe ends DST on the 27th, right?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "The end of an error/era"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Which, if I did my math right, means that 2pm MUDtime will be 7pm for you instead of 8pm?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Which might help those of you who want to sleep at some point before Monday.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "May be."

[slingergame] DM says, "oh, you are right"

[slingergame] DM says, "It turns out I have that whole week off, *except* Monday."

[slingergame] DM says, "but it should be allright"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Did we talk about doing something in the meantime?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm out next weekend."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I am, as well."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And the schedule shows Peregrine as being gone too."

[slingergame] DM says, "Me too."
