[slingergame] PerrySimm says, "Log on."
Horst says, "Which should give +1d4 to lots of skill checks. So if you miss a check by 1-4 points, bother me and I'll try harder"
DM says, "Okay"
DM exclaims, "Hello, fantasy kids!"
Horst says, "Hi uncle dm"
DM says, "You are standing outside the mighty doors of the Kingdom of Burning Rocks. In the distance, you can see Byhr and Bloodfang trudging towards you, while there are also some people coming over from Lon Grongsson's tents."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Uh oh."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "We can totally give the shit back now if they want it."
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Hey, cool, everyone we wanted to talk to!"
[slingergame] DM says, "Bloodfang arrives first, by far, and just jumps around you yapping happily."
[slingergame] Horst says, "okay everyone lie on their faces and let Stabby say everything. It's working really well for us."
Quarion scratches Bloodfang behind the ears. 'Good dog.'
DM says, "Bloodfang licks Quarion's hand."
Shaborys waves at Byhr, pointedly ignoring Grongsson's folk.
DM says, "Next comes Byhr, who looks down at you with a big grin."
DM exclaims, "You did it!"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "He speaks common?!?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Would anyone mind if I paused the log for a sec to swap accounts, so Jacq can use Perry?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Sure"
[slingergame] DM says, "Grr, those Clubfloyd jerks"
[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "OBVIOUSLY Quarion keeps translating."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Just let me cast a Comprehend Languages spell"
Luthian stays close to the group, though not we're-bestestest-friends-now-uncomfortably so. He gazes about with curious wonder.
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "But we ARE bestest friends? Aren't we? Guys? Where'd you go?"
DM says, "Well, I'm gonna go inside the city, now that I can return. Hope you guys do allright on your quest-thing."
Quarion says, "Thanks, Byhr."
Shaborys says, "Thanks!"
DM says, "And just as he has left, Lon Grongsson and his guards arrived."
DM says, "Aha, I see you have managed to allow us access to the city again. Excellent. I won't even charge you for the equipment you stole.""
Shaborys rolls her eyes.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "He's going to have a nasty shock when he realizes the ban's still on."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "We'd better run before he catches on."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I thought the city was still closed off to everyone else?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "What was I saying?"
[slingergame] DM says, "He doesn't know that, obvs."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Oh, right, on the other channel."
[slingergame] Vraklul nods.
[slingergame] Quarion says, "So let's just get the hell out of here before Lon Grongson catches on to the truth."
Vraklul says, "Thanks, man. You're a pal."
DM says, "He and his pals begin marching towards the gate. When he isn't looking, Henimore gives you a friendly wave."
Vraklul waves and grins to Henimore too, as they head off.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "The DM loves playing Cupid ;)"
Vraklul exclaims, "Alright! Let's go find this tomb!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion plays Bastafore theme!
DM says, "One sec, I'm having technical difficulties"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion pauses Bastafore theme!
[Crows-Nest] DM exclaims, "Ok, continue theme music!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion unpauses the theme music.
Horst exclaims, "We head out!"
DM says, "Okay, you start to make your way into the mountains, the way the Queen's Advisor indicated. There is an old, barely visible opath. It has none of the magical lanterns, however, and you have some trouble not losing it."
Horst says, "Vraklul, maybe you could ask your feathered friends for help again"
DM says, "No, it's fine."
[slingergame] Horst asks, "Can I assume we got a long rest in there?"
Horst says, "Good job, Fang"
DM says, "After two days of travel, the travel ends at a foreboding tunnel entrance, that bears no markings, but is clearly man(?)-made."
Vraklul says, "If you think we need it, but it'll take me a few minutes to get the magic going. So maybe let's save it for after we get lost."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Yes, you all are all rested up and had a few campfire talks that brought you closer as people, and, may I say, friends?"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I'll take that as meaning *two* long rests. Welcome back, hit dice!"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yep."
Horst says, "Hunh, a tunnel."
[slingergame] Vraklul updates his character sheet: hit dice restored, rages restored, friendship +2. Got it.
Horst asks, "Is it human-sized or dwarf-sized or giant-sized or something else?"
Vraklul asks, "Any lakes nearby?"
DM says, "You could drive two carriages into it without any trouble."
DM says (to Vraklul), "No"
Vraklul says, "I don't think we're at the tomb yet, but this tunnel is probably a part of the path there."
[Crows-Nest] (from Quarion) Vraklul says, 'It's the tunnel of Love'
Vraklul asks, "Do the humans hall all the lights and things they need to see?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Er, 'have', not 'hall'.)"
Vraklul exclaims, "OK, then let's go!"
Vraklul heads into the tunnel.
[slingergame] DM says, "ha ha"
Shaborys follows closely behind.
Quarion follows after Shaborys.
Horst brings up the rear as usual
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "So where does that leave Luthian?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Possibly stumbling blindly in the dark."
DM says, "You head into the foreboding tunnel. You walk for five minutes or so. The walls are smooth, but there is the occasional debris in the path. It is kind of uncomfortably echoey in here. After five minutes, you think you see a little prick of light ahead."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "But probably in front of Horst."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Hey, guys, I think I see a halfling paladin."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "haha, aw"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion exclaims, "That little prick overtoke us!"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "he he"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "(overtook, sorry)"
DM says, "And as you come closer, you see what you have probably expected all along : The whole length of the tunnel has collapsed before you. There is no getting through here."
Shaborys says, "Welp."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian sadfaces about not having darkvision. Bah. XD
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul asks, "But where did the light come from?"
Luthian blinks. Well, drat.
Horst searches around for an alternate way
DM says, "That little light you saw is a very small lantern at the foot of the collapse that seems to stand on a note of some sort."
Quarion exclaims, "Goshdarn it!"
Shaborys reads the note?
Quarion asks, "What does it say?"
Vraklul tries moving a few rocks out of the way. Maybe the cave-in isn't that bad?
DM asks (of quarion), "So you grab it?"
Quarion asks, "The note?"
Shaborys did.
DM says, "Oh wait, Stabby does. Stabby makes a WIS saving throw."
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 1 = 19
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Wise, she is."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Read the note, she shall."
DM says (to Shaborys), "For a second you hear a voice in your mind "Kill them all ... Kill them a- Oh, dangit" then it's gone."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Whew."
DM says, "And the note reads BETTER LUCK NEXT IN THE MOUNTAINS SUCKERS""
DM says, "-Guthras"
Quarion exclaims, "Curses!"
Shaborys swears.
Quarion exclaims, "Those dwarves!"
Vraklul asks, "Did they know we were coming?"
Quarion exclaims, "They deliberately caved in this tunnel!"
Horst says, "They knew someone eventually might be coming"
Vraklul asks, "How hard can it be to shift this stuff?"
Shaborys pulls out a crowbar.
DM says (to Vraklul), "Not hard, if you had a whole crew and a week or two."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion pulls out a chocolate granola bar and chomps into it.
Shaborys oh. Puts away the crowbar.
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Next five sessions: digging out the tunnel."
Horst says, "At least we'll be out in the fresh air"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Which means that *we* ought to be able to manage it in 3-4 days, tops!"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion tries to move some rocks with the granola bar, before abandoning this task as hopeless. LOL
Vraklul asks, "Did they set up the lantern and the note *before* demolishing the tunnel?"
Vraklul says, "Pretty lucky for them that it didn't get covered in debris in the process."
Quarion says, "I'd say after."
Quarion asks, "Makes more sense, right?"
Shaborys asks, "Wouldn't they have demolished it from the other side of the rockfall, though?"
Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "But then wouldn't they still be on this side?"
Quarion asks (of Vraklul), "Ahha. But maybe they took the lake route?"
Vraklul looks around suspiciously for dwarves and/or dwarf-shaped hiding places.
DM says, "The area around the lantern is suspiciously debris-free."
Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "Isn't the whole point of the cave-in to make it harder for *us* than it was for them?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of DM), "Suspicious in the sense of, say, a temporary protective spell around it, sorta thing?"
Quarion says, "Don't ask me, my Wis mod is negative."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yep"
Horst is going to try something.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Aha."
Horst tries to, like, DIS-believe in the cave-in,
Horst says, "I'll be touching the rocks and stuff, checking for realism, too"
DM says, "Those are some real rocks."
Horst says, "Well this is not an illusion."
Luthian continues to keep an eye out for possible threats and whatnot.
DM says, "Good idea though, have some inspiration"
Horst says, "When we catch up to them we can interrogate them about it."
Horst feels Inspired.
Shaborys takes a handful of small rocks and pockets them.
Vraklul says, "Well, I guess we have at least two options."
Vraklul says, "Try to force our way through, or go back and try to go around."
Vraklul asks, "Anyone have any third ideas?"
[slingergame] Quarion says (to Horst), "Welcome to the club of the Inspired. I still have Wisdom from way back when I went first, recklessly, and nearly died."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "uh, Inspiration, not Wisdom"
[slingergame] DM says, "Not my fault if you don't use it"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "haha"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I keep forgetting to use mine, too."
Horst says, "I could cast an Augury"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Note to self: use inspiration."
Horst says, "Ask my god if going through the mountains is a good idea."
Vraklul says, "Alright."
Quarion asks, "What's the name of your god, alreayd?"
Horst says, "Ilmater, the god of constant sorrow"
[Crows-Nest] (from Quarion) Ilmater says in a hollow voice, 'Fool.'
[slingergame] DM says, "I was just looking it up"
Horst asks, "Dear Lord, we plan to cross the mountains. Will this bring weal or woe?"
[slingergame] Horst says, "Welcome to the really fun part of DMing: predicting the future"
DM says, "For a second, you see the transparent form of Ilmater, and he says : "Weal - but not if you go on foot." Then he disappears."
Quarion asks, "So?"
Horst relays the message. Or maybe the god like possesses him and he tells everyone and they tell him.
DM says, "The former. Let's not get crazy here."
Horst says, "I'm not sure what it means. We can't fly."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "We've still got the ponies, right?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yep."
Horst asks, "Perhaps there's a river or a lake?"
Vraklul asks, "Does riding ponies count as being on foot?"
Horst says, "Gods sometimes speak in mysterious ways, alas."
Vraklul asks, "Are hooves feet?"
Horst says, "Let's head up there and see what presents itself."
Quarion says, "This is another of those diabolical riddles. I bet Ilmater has thought of all the loopholes."
[slingergame] Horst says, "Oh maybe our pals with the blimp are back"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "THat'd be handy."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "They went off to Wolfwater Magic Academy."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I guess we could Siri them."
Vraklul says, "Well, at least let's get back out of the tunnel and see what kind of options we can spot outside."
Quarion agrees wholeheartedly.
DM says, "Okay, you move back outside. If you want to take a gander at your options towards the Mountain Lake, that's a survival check"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 0 = 3
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "What mod for Survival?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "WIS"
Vraklul says, "So, I think one option is that we could try to find an animal and dissect it."
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 1 = 4
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 - 1 = 3
[slingergame] DM says, "City slickers"
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 4 = 16
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 2 = 12
DM says, "Well, there is a second path that leads up towards the lake, but it leads straight up into the mountains, and if the lake is where you presume it is, the last leg of the route would be up a few hundred meters up a sheer cliff"
Shaborys says, "Good thing y'all have those potions of climbing."
DM says, "Also, way past the snow line"
Quarion says, "We can spiderclimb, but it'll use up tons of magic."
Horst says, "And we'd be leaving the ponies behind."
Shaborys says, "Oh. True."
Vraklul asks, "Does *that* count as being on foot?"
Vraklul asks, "What if we walk on our hands?"
Quarion says (to Horst), "Your god's augury has only made our problems more ridiculous."
Vraklul says, "Alright, if we don't want to do this on foot, I think we need some kind of vehicle."
Vraklul says, "Or at least, *something* to ride."
Vraklul says, "Probably not something that walks."
Horst asks, "Can't anyone here summon giant eagles or something?"
Vraklul says, "So the ponies probably around enough. A wagon might qualify, but I don't see how we'd get a wagon up there."
Quarion says, "I was about to bop the next person who mentioned the poneys with my quarterstaff, so okay"
Quarion bops Vraklul!
Quarion says, "Timing."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "s/around/aren't/"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ah, finally they turn on each other"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I don't know what's up with my random word replacement today."
Vraklul says, "So, yeah, giant eagles would be good. Or maybe if we can ride some kind of fishing through the lake."
[slingergame] DM says, "Don't wrangle about it"
Vraklul asks, "Or a boat! Hey, anyone have a boat?"
Quarion has a boot.
Horst says, "We need to climb up to the lake, I think is the problem"
Vraklul asks, "Or split the difference between eagles and a boat. What about a *flying* boat?"
[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "But how do you get the boat up the mountain, Werner HErzog?"
Horst searches around for another path.
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15
DM says (to Horst), "Nope"
[Crows-Nest] Horst asks, "Hey did we end up with a Bag of Holding?"
[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "N...No?"
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "oh darn"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What direction did we travel from the giant city?"
[slingergame] DM says, "North-ish"
Shaborys pipes up, "I liked the idea of contacting Miss Maelstrom.
Quarion says, "Yeah, that could be good."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "(What was the name of the city, for that matter?"
Vraklul asks, "Alright! Hey, Siri?"
[slingergame] DM says, "The City of Burning Rocks"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "We never asked."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "oops"
[slingergame] Horst says, "Funkytown"
[slingergame] DM says, "or Funkytown, to giant hipsters"
DM says, "Siri appears from around a rock."
Quarion jumps!
DM says, "PLEASE RECORD RECIPIENT"
Vraklul says, "Maelis Maelstrom."
DM says, "MAMA MALEFOE not found"
Vraklul says, "Maelis Maelstrom."
DM says, "MAELIS MAELSTROM found"
DM says, "RECORD MESSAGE"
Vraklul gives a thumbs up!
Vraklul exclaims (at Siri), "Trying to reach sealed tomb. Need to fly up mountain. Can you help? Two days north of City of Burning Rocks. Answer with 'Siri'. Thanks!"
DM says, "MESSAE RECORDED AS Trying to reach sealed tomb. Need to fly up mountain. Can you help? Two days north of City of Burning Rocks. Answer with 'Siri'. Thanks!" *DING*"
DM says, "Siri scuttles away behind a nearby rock."
Vraklul says, "That's one danged helpful little construct."
Horst says, "We could camp inside the tunnel, I guess."
Quarion says, "Thank Norin Goblinsfoe for small blessings."
DM asks, "So, I assume you camp?"
Quarion exclaims, "Let's eat a bite!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "While we're waiting, I'm going to try out my other magic spell. 'Beast Sense'."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Oooooo"
[slingergame] DM says, "oooh"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Which lets me touch a willing beast, then see/hear/etc. through its senses for ten minutes."
Luthian grabs a bite to eat, and a quick couple of minutes of shut-eye, and posts up for watchkeeping.
[slingergame] Horst says, "Neat"
[slingergame] DM asks, "And you touch Horst?"
[slingergame] Horst says, "Now we'll know why Fang is always licking himself"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ten minute ritual casting time. Then I'll look around for a convenient and appropriate animal."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "I said an *appropriate* animal."
[slingergame] DM says, "well, there's Bloodfang or the ponies"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "If I don't see any handy birds or squirrels or anything who are willing to let me touch them, yeah, I'll practice on Bloodfang."
[slingergame] DM says, "Man, everything is grey. But the smells! Man, the smells! It's awesome! Even the rocks smell AWESOME! No wonder Bloodfang is always running around, everything smells so INTERESTING"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do I notice any smells in particular? Like any trails or anything?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Well, it looks like 4 or 5 people went into the tunnel before you, and they had something with them. Something ... big ... and crawly ... that smells, really, really bad"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Interesting. I'll relay that to the party once I finish eavesdropping on Bloodfang."
[slingergame] DM says, "But then Bloodfang runs off and jumps around Luthian."
[slingergame] DM says, "(Who is trying to sleep)"
DM says, "So passes some time, until a few hours later, Siri comes back."
Quarion yawns. 'At last!'
DM says, "*DING* THIS MESSAGE IS FOR Goddammit I said Vraklul you stupid"
[Setting the zoned flag.]
DM says, "*DING* MESSAGE READS Will be happy to. Will take us around two days to reach you, please devise method of signalling us Love Maelis"
Shaborys cheers.
Vraklul exclaims, "Hey, fantastic!"
Luthian grins, and thumbs-up. "Awesome."
Quarion says, "I'll use a flaming sphere as a signal."
Vraklul says, "Great idea! Just don't hit them with it."
Quarion says, "Relax, it's a controllable spell."
DM says, "So, we'll cut to two days later, unless you want to do anything"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Cutting sounds good."
Quarion daydreams.
Quarion draws H's in the dust.
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I'm all for it"
DM says, "Two days later, in the morning, you see a shape on the horizon, that turns into a blimp-shape by noon, that's sort of zig-zagging around the sky"
Vraklul looks Siri over to see if the mages decided to hack anything extra onto her while she was in Wolfwater.
Quarion readies his quarterstaff, doing that cool spinning wrist movement.
DM says (to Vraklul), "Nope"
Quarion says, "Okay, guys, I'm casting a Silent Image. Safer that way."
Quarion rubs some fleece together.
(From Quarion) A big floating arrow appear 60 feet overhead! It points in the direction of our heroes' camp.
DM says, "Awesome"
DM says, "A few second later, you see the propellors on the ship come on, and about half an hour later it sort of hovers over you."
DM says, "HELLO!" shouts Maelis. "We'll throw you a rope!""
Quarion exclaims, "OKAY!"
DM says, "Maelis throws down a rope, which you tie up somewhere, and she abseils down it most elegantly."
DM says (to marc), "For you: Maelis is a Tiefling in her 40s with a really cool coat"
Shaborys greets Maelis in infernal.
Quarion exclaims, "Glad to see you again, Miss Maelstrom!"
Luthian offers a polite nod to Maelis.
DM says, "A second rope comes down, and Kazehaya sort of abseils down, but gets his foot stuck a few feet down and dangles head down from it."
Vraklul exclaims, "Thanks for helping us out!"
Quarion exclaims, "I hope the trip went well!"
Shaborys chuckles and rescues the kid.
DM says, "Maelis grins broady and ruffles Shaborys' hair. "Hello you brave adventurers you!""
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oh, a few feet down, not a few feet from the ground. Well, I can climb."
DM says, "Kazehaya dust himself off. He wears an adorable little double-breasted jacket now. "Thanks, miss. I had everything under control."
Shaborys says, "Of course you did."
DM says (to marc), "Kazehaya is a young asian kid who is also some sort of boy genius."
DM says, "Maelis pokes Luthian in the ribs. "Hello there, master assassin""
Luthian nods. "Greetings." He offers a polite smile.
Shaborys looks embarassed at the ruffling, but smiles happily.
DM says, "Kazehaya claps his hands behind his back. "Well, I've been informed you require the Skyshark's services.""
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Skyshark TM David Welbourn 2017"
Vraklul explains the situation.
Quarion mimes behind Vraklul's back.
DM says, "aha, well, this does not seem like a matter that really concerns me, but I think we" - "Of course we'll help" says Maelis, who surpresses a chuckle at Quarion's antics."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "We Horntown folk are famous for our mimes."
DM exclaims, "Well, climb aboard!"
Vraklul exclaims, "Thanks!"
Quarion exclaims, "Thank you!"
Shaborys says, "Thanks!"
Vraklul climbs up.
Shaborys climbs.
Horst says, "Good call, my Lord"
DM says, "Hey, Vraklul" says Kazehays. "I bet you're not strong enough to carry me up!""
Vraklul asks (of Kazehays), "What do you want to bet?"
Quarion asks, "Wait, he's going to climb back down again?"
DM asks, "How about ... one silver piece?"
Vraklul exclaims, "You're on!"
DM says, "If you have that much."
Vraklul slides back down the rope to collect a passenger.
DM says, "You climb up with him no problem, and he seems to be very smug about something as he hands you a silver piece."
[slingergame] Horst says, "Good news: he's strong enough to carry him half the way"
[slingergame] DM says, "Ha ha"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ha."
[slingergame] Horst says, "Then he turns on the immovable rod"
DM says, "So, the interior of the Skyshark is basically a long hallway that connects the bridge section in the front to a sort of storage space in the back. From the hallway are a door on each side that lead to cabins."
Vraklul flips the coin, then pockets it.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I was kinda expecting something like that, to be honest."
DM says, "It's kind of cramped with the lot of you in it."
DM says, "Kazehaya stand on a footstool and grabs the wheel as soon as you all are on board."
[slingergame] Horst says, "hey this is how we started this whole thing"
Shaborys steps on someone's foot.
DM asks, "What do you do with Bloodfang and the ponies?"
Vraklul says, "Hey, this is pretty neat from up here."
Quarion carries Bloodfang over his shoulder?
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Shall I make a DEX check?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "They're mountain ponies. I think they ought to be OK to graze for a bit on their own."
Horst asks, "We can't haul them up?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But if the party disagrees, I don't mind going back and explaining things to them first."
DM says (to horst), "No room"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "So, DM, do I do a DEX check for carrying Bloodfang?"
[slingergame] DM says, "No, it's fine"
Horst says, "Well alright I guess they can free range"
Vraklul asks, "Do you guys want me to go explains things to them, or do you think they'll be fine on their own for the time being?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Join us next week on the spin-off Ponies and Pterodactyls"
Shaborys says, "I'm sure they're fine."
DM says, "So you pull up the ropes and shut the hatch"
DM says, "At first, looking out through the windows is kind of nauseating, but you get used to it pretty quickly."
Quarion exclaims, "Hey, ho, let's go!"
DM says, "Kazehaya throws a few switches and you heard the low sound of the propellors staring up."
DM exclaims, "Kaze says: "Time to go up!"
DM says, "And, slowly but steadily the Skyshark rises."
Shaborys tries to hide her excitement.
[slingergame] Quarion makes a mental note to compose a Skyshark theme.
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "Skyshark's theme song is just like The Love Boat, but it's The Sky Shark"
DM says, "Bloodfang whines and whines and finally hides behind Quarion's legs."
DM says, "So..." Maelis said. "Has anyone asked after us?""
[slingergame] Horst asks, "I don't think so?"
Shaborys asks, "No, Ma'am. Um. Should they have?"
Vraklul says, "I don't think we've talked to anyone who even knows we know you..."
[slingergame] Horst says, "We can gossip about Grongsson though"
Horst says, "We met some jerk trader guy named Grongsson"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Let the Skyshark / When it crumbles / We will stand tall / Face it all together / Let the skyshark / When it crumbles / We will stand tall / Face it all together at Skyshark"
Quarion says, "And a cool gnome named Goblinsfoe in Myrehall. He made Siri."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "haha Skyfall"
DM says, "oh, no, nothing. Just, uh, if anyone asks, could you pretend you don't know us? That would help us out a lot."
Quarion says, "No problem, ma'am."
DM exclaims, "That Siri is super-nifty thing!"
Horst asks, "Wait who are you again?"
Shaborys nods.
DM exclaims, "And please don't all ma'am me! I feel older than I look!"
Shaborys says, "Sorry, Ma'am. Um. Sorry."
DM says, "Kazehaya pipes up ""
DM says, "Kazehaya pipes up "Continue to call me my Lord or sir!""
Quarion says, "It has literally been a life-saver."
Shaborys says, "Yes, Mi'Lord."
Vraklul says, "Right on, m'Lord."
Quarion disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
Quarion arrives at home.
DM says, "Kazehaya beams proudly. "Say what you will about the lower classes, they're not hopeless.""
Vraklul says, "Siri was made by Norin Goblinsfoe -- he seems like a pretty clever guy."
DM asks, "Maelis nods. "Oh, isn't he head of the MIMI?"
Quarion says, "Yes, he is."
Horst says, "What's left of it, yes"
Vraklul says, "Yup, that's the guy. We helped him clean up after what happened there."
DM says, "The ship rises along the side of the mountain, and Kaze looks out to spot any hints of a lake. The Skyshark creaks around you."
Quarion says, "We did a little rescuing, and defeated some Mad Bard guy."
DM says, "Ah, what I heard of him sounded right enough."
DM says, "Oh, wow, Duell Dannerham? I've heard of him. We worked for some crime lord in Wolfwater a few years back."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Er *HE* not *WE*"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "hahah"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Uh huh."
Horst says, "We got to meet the Everburning King! He's kind of intense."
Quarion says, "Shabby did the talking."
Quarion says, "We just fell on our faces, mostly."
DM says, "Kaze taps some intstrument on the console and frowns. "She doesn't like the cold" he murmurs to himself."
DM asks, "Maelis looks impressed. "Wow, the everburning King? Is his hair really on fire?"
Quarion says, "Yeah, it's quite a sight."
Shaborys nods!
Horst says, "His hair IS fire! And his eyeballs too! And probably other parts of his body."
DM exclaims, "You babies get around! Soon you'll be real adventurers!"
Vraklul exclaims, "His hair *is* fire!"
Vraklul exclaims, "Thanks!"
Shaborys aw shucks.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So what level is 'real'? 5?"
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "On a 1-20 scale of Being Real Adventurers, it feels like we've recently reached 4"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "If I get anywhere near level 20, I'll be a god."
Vraklul asks, "Hey, after this, is there anything we can do to help you guys out?"
DM says, "There is a *crunch* sound from the propeller and Kazehaya throws some switches quickly. "Okay, we're drifting from here." Outside the window, the cliff walls grows closer, and he pulls on the wheel hard."
Vraklul asks, "To pay back the favor?"
DM says, "She smiles warmly. "Maybe some time. We are planning an expedition to cross the Desert of Silence, but that's in the far future. For now the Skyshark needs a few more -""
Horst asks, "We've got a magical Sky Anchor thing we could use, if that would help?"
DM says, "There is a horrible scraping sounds as the edge of the Shark skitters over the edge of the cliff wall, and then you can see the lake beneath you. It's in a basin, and the water is clear."
Shaborys cringes.
Vraklul asks, "Is it supposed to make that noise?"
DM says, "Bloodfang lies down, resolved to his fate."
DM says, "Kazehaya sighs with relief. "Well, that would've been close if I didn't know what I was doing."
Shaborys whew.
Quarion says, "Thank heaven for that."
DM says, "The Skyshark drifts over the lake."
DM asks, "So, what are you looking for up here?"
Horst says, "We were going to go through a tunnel under this mountain"
Horst says, "So I'm expecting to see the other end of that tunnel over here somewhere"
Horst says, "And then a road or a path or something to... something"
Vraklul says, "...to an entrance to a sealed tomb."
DM says, "So, if you all want to look for the tunnel entrance, that's a perception check"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 2 = 22
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 0 = 12
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 9 | 9 + 5 = 14
Quarion searches for the tunnel entrance with eagle eyes!
DM says, "You all stand close to the window for a few minutes, scanning the lake shore. Quarion is about to look away when he spots what clearly is a tunnel entrance - underwater."
Vraklul says, "There are supposed to be two ways in. One through a tunnel, and one deep under the lake. We're hoping we can find the tunnel one."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Uh, then tunnel was the collapsed one"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Oh, OK. I thought that was a tunnel leading to the tunnel. Which, yes, in retrospect does sound kinda silly as I actually say it."
Quarion looks at his vial of water-breathing potion, pensively.
DM says, "The tunnel entrance is round, and around 2 meters in diamter. It's hard to spot among the rocks."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So we've got one potion of water breathing between us?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I think so, yes."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Indeed."
DM says, "It's around 10 meter below the surface."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "That's tough."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "How deep under water is the tunnel entrance?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Meters! Peregrine and Roger now what I'm talking about."
DM says, "32 feet"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "indeed"
Vraklul says, "That's not too bad."
Vraklul says, "I think I could easily hold my breath long enough to get *into* the tunnel."
Vraklul says, "But the tricky part might be finding a place to start breathing again inside."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What are the rules for holding your breath while swimming?"
DM says, "It's CON MOD minutes, I believe"
[slingergame] Horst says, "Hey we still have all that breathing apparatus right"
Horst says (to Vraklul), "So this might be a stupid question..."
Vraklul says, "I could swim down for a minute or so, and if I don't find anything, come on back."
Horst asks, "But can you talk to fish?"
[slingergame] DM says, "That'S a filter"
[slingergame] Horst says, "We're on a ship full of mechanical geniuses! They can figure something out."
Vraklul says, "Sure! Well. I mean, I need to breathe to talk."
[slingergame] DM says, "Maybe the fish speak thieves cant"
Vraklul says, "But aside from not being able to talk under water, I bet I could."
Horst says, "Maybe the fish could speak in air? I mean between breaks."
Vraklul says, "Maybe! I'll get into the critter-chat mode before I go down, just in case."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "Apologies for not being so talkative. RL issues."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So, my plan if everyone is up for it:"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I take off my armor and backpack and other water-unfriendly gear, cast Speak With Animals as a ritual, then dive off the ship into the water."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ah, the scene in the show for the lady fans"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Check out the tunnel and see if I can spot a source of air within a minute or so. Then come back."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Anyone think that's a bad idea?"
[slingergame] Shaborys shrugs.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If anyone else has a high enough CON score, they can come along too."
[slingergame] Horst says, "It... it might be kind of cold."
[slingergame] Horst says, "At least let me rub you up with lard first"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Of course."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Ah, another scene in the show for the lady fans"
[slingergame] Horst says, "We could tie a rope to you. If you want."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Slinger), "I'm guessing that I can probably keep Spidersbane strapped to my back without a problem, right?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Horst), "Sure, sounds good."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, but you'll have disadvantage underwater with it"
[slingergame] DM says, "Your javelins would be fine"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "OK, I'll take them, then."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I'm getting a strong Beowulf vibe here."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Code: One short tug on the rope = I'm fine. Three short tugs: help, get me out of here."
[slingergame] Horst exclaims, "okay!"
[slingergame] DM drifting belly up on the lake : I'm done for.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And if you don't get any short tugs for a minute or so, I'm probably in trouble maybe."
[slingergame] Horst says, "67 tugs, feeling not too bad"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "I believe you misspelled 'catching some sun and sipping a mai tai'."
[slingergame] Horst says, "whew I was concerned we might not get a chance to split the party today"
Vraklul exclaims, "Alright everyone, see you in a few!"
Quarion exclaims, "Good luck!"
Vraklul dives off the side of the ship!
DM says, "SPLASH! The water is oh so very, very cold"
[Crows-Nest] (from Quarion) The lady fans swoon!
Vraklul . o O ( Good thing I'm all greased up! )
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "Why'd we tie the rope around his neck again"
DM says, "You instantly go numb all over, but after you swam for a few meters, it's not *too* bad."
DM says, "Give me an Atheltics check to dive down there"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 6 = 24
[slingergame] Horst says, "dang"
[slingergame] Horst says, "dude has webbed toes"
DM says, "Vraklul disappears into the lightless depths. He finds the tunnel entrance easy enough. Only a few meters in, it ends at some stairs, and there's air above it."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "The question is, can I do that again when I'm trying to get back *out*?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Every time"
Vraklul surfaces and checks if the air seems pretty breathable.
DM says (to Vraklul), "Yeah, seems fine."
Vraklul gives a short tug.
DM says, "It leads into a small hallway, with some sort of room at the end."
DM says, "But you are literally at the end of your rope."
DM says, "You up in the Shark watch the lake intently (small tug), and you *think* you see something move deep in the lake."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "How much of the room can I see without untying it?"
DM says, "It seems to be some sort of chapel, or small temple. You see a lush carpet, a bit of an altar, an a stained glass window."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "No other visible exits?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Not from where you are standing"
Vraklul checks the Flaws section of his character sheet. Well, this room seems pretty safe. Untie the rope, another quick tug, then into the room for a more thorough search.
DM says, "oh boy"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "If he lives, he's going to deserve Inspiration."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "First, I'll look for exits. Then I'll check out the altar and the window."
DM says, "Okay, Quarion, I mean Vraklul, you go into the room. It's a small, and sort of roundish. There is an altar, with a stained glass window above it. The window depicts a dwarven woman of some sort. Before the altar stands a chest."
DM says, "As soon as you step onto the carpet..."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 + 5 = 13
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "For all that is holy, don't touch the ches--. Oh."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ha ha."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "You think I even need to go that far to get myself into trouble?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of DM), "So should I be comparing that number to my current AC?"
DM says, "A few things happen at once. The carpet tries to wrap itself around you, but fails. The chest suddenly opens a terrible maw and tentacles and moves towards you. A stone wall comes down where you entered. And the ceiling rumbles."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Because that's a 15."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the end of the rope on the other side of the wall?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Well sh*t."
[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Yes."
[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "Also yes."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Excellent."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I think maybe I should roll initiative?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I think that would be good, yes."
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14 + 2 = 16
Vraklul clears the initiative.
Vraklul registers himself at init 16.
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 2 = 8
DM registers carpet = at init 8.
DM removes carpet = from the initiative list.
DM registers carpet at init 8.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion twiddles his thumbs. 'Wonder what's taking Vraklul so long?'
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does the carpet cover the entire floor, or is there a space to stand that's not actively trying to kill me?"
[slingergame] Horst says, "If something tries to grapple you, don't forget you're covered in lard"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 1 = 19
DM registers mimic at init 19.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ha ha ha."
[slingergame] DM says, "snrk"
[slingergame] DM says, "Okay, let me think for a minute"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 5 = 6
[slingergame] Vraklul scrolls back to check if he said he was bringing the javelins *instead of* the axe or *in addition to*.
DM says, "Okay, the mimic misses you"
[slingergame] DM says, "I've read it as "In addition too""
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Good, good."
DM advances the initiative: MIMIC(19) Vraklul(16) carpet(8)
DM advances the initiative: mimic(19) VRAKLUL(16) carpet(8)
Vraklul RAGES! Then he steps carefully off of the carpet before taking a swing at it.
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 6 = 11
DM says, "Nope"
Vraklul . o O ( Maybe I could hit it better if I were still standing on it. )
DM advances the initiative: mimic(19) Vraklul(16) CARPET(8)
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 5 = 9
DM says, "haha"
DM says, "Man, these monsters are really terrible"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hey, c'mon, man."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm not that bad."
DM says, "Okay, up in the Shark, that shadow you saw form into some sort of monstrosity, you only see flippers and a long neck for a moment. It bites through the rope, shakes it in its maw for a second and dives down again."
Horst says, "Hunh."
Shaborys asks, "Um. guys?"
Shaborys asks, "Is that one of those guardians we were warned about?"
Quarion says, "I think so."
Quarion says, "I also think Vraklul's in some deep, deep shit."
Shaborys says, "Yeah.."
[slingergame] (from Shaborys) Shaborys says, "Oh well."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "At least ten meters deep."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "hah"
[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Giving them some time to save you from the death trap that was meant for all of you, hope that's okay."
Horst says, "He'd probably come to rescue me if I were down there, so..."
Horst dives in.
(From Horst) Splash
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "I dunno, I was kinda looking forward to not having to split all this XP."
Shaborys says, "I guess we'd better get our tails down there."
DM says, "(Maelis and Kazehaya need to stay up in the Shark, of course)"
DM says, "Okay, I assume you all dive in? We'll say you arrive in the hallway after this round"
Shaborys shimmies as far down the rope as she can and then holds her breath and dives in.
DM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
DM advances the initiative: MIMIC(19) Vraklul(16) carpet(8)
[slingergame] Horst asks, "Oh, there's not a stone wall between us and him?"
[slingergame] DM says, "There is"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I think the wall is between the hallway and the altar room."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 5 = 10
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Aw, poor mimic."
Quarion closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, twirls his quarterstaff nervously, and jumps into the cold, cold water.
DM says, "Pseudops flail around you harmlessly"
[slingergame] Horst says, "But there's some air between the water and the wall? That's convenient."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, the room is at the end of a small hallway, and what the wall that came down did is lock up Vraklul in the small room."
DM advances the initiative: mimic(19) VRAKLUL(16) carpet(8)
Vraklul takes another swing at the carpet, this time remembering that he has Inspiration to spend for Advantage!
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 6 = 10
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 6 = 9
DM says, "Oh, that rumbling you heard is the ceiling slowly coming down on you."
DM says, "Man"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, for the love of all that's unholy..."
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 5 = 15
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That's a hit."
[slingergame] DM says, "You are being smothered by a rug."
[slingergame] DM says, "You are grappled until your turn, where you can try to escape."
DM advances the initiative: mimic(19) Vraklul(16) CARPET(8)
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, if it's a grapple, I get to oppose the check."
DM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So I would roll Athletics."
[slingergame] DM says, "OH, immediately? Cool."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, it's not a hit roll, so my Athletics roll replaces my AC."
[slingergame] DM says, "Sure, roll it. (DC 13)"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does the lard give me Advantage?"
[slingergame] DM says, "haha. sure."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "DC? I thought it was just an opposed roll -- i.e., my check vs. their check (the 15 they rolled)."
[slingergame] Alex says (to Vraklul), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that dc is a unix-based calculator."
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 + 6 = 18
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 6 = 19
DM says, "You are unrugged."
[slingergame] Horst says, "the greased half-orc slips away"
Vraklul exclaims (at Carpet), "Hey, get off!"
[slingergame] DM says, "This says "Escape DC""
DM says, "Okay, you all dove and enter the hallway Vraklul arrived in."
Shaborys swims down into the tunnel, and is relieved to discover breathable air. She takes a deep breath before inspecting the wall.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, I think that's for *after* I'm already grappled."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Unless I'm wrong -- I'm going by the PHB rules. Monster rules might be different."
DM says, "At the end of the hallway is a stone wall, and the floor of the latter half of the hallway has opened up like a trap door. You can see some water a few feet below it, and something is swimming in it."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "In which case, whoops, sorry."
Quarion emerges from the water, into the tunnel. 'Woo.'
[slingergame] DM says, "Well this says "The creature is grappled""
Shaborys erm, inspects the wall from a distance.
[slingergame] Horst says, "Yeah I think the monster grapplin rules are different than the usual grapplin rules"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh."
[slingergame] Horst says, "anyway let's run with it"
[slingergame] DM says, "Allright, so next turn we'll play it the other way."
Shaborys asks, "Can I shoot an arrow at the thing swimming?"
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 12 | 12 - 1 = 11
Horst registers Horst at init 11.
DM says, "Okay, all the newcomers roll INI and add yourselves"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 4 = 8
Shaborys registers herself at init 7.
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 5 = 23
Quarion registers himself at init 23.
DM advances the initiative: QUARION(23) mimic(19) Vraklul(16) Horst(11) carpet(8) Shaborys(7)
Quarion asks, "Okay, shall I break down that wall?"
Shaborys says, "Please."
Quarion flits through the pages of his waterproof spellbook.
Quarion says, "Oh, darn it, I'll just go back to basics."
Quarion points his quarterstaff at the wall. 'This is time for one of my trademark spells... the Magic Missile!'
DM exclaims, "Magic Missile away!"
(From Quarion) Three missiles of bright blue magical radiance burst into existence, and crash against the wall of stone!
Quarion rolls 1 4-sided die: 2 | 2 + 1 = 3
Quarion rolls 1 4-sided die: 4 | 4 + 1 = 5
Quarion rolls 1 4-sided die: 2 | 2 + 1 = 3
DM says, "Quarion blasts some good chized chunks out of the walls, but it retains its integrity for now."
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(23) MIMIC(19) Vraklul(16) Horst(11) carpet(8) Shaborys(7)
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 5 = 15
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hit."
Quarion says, "Well, I am a wee bit miffed."
DM rolls 1 8-sided die: 7 | 7 + 3 = 10
DM says, "Bludgeoning"
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(23) mimic(19) VRAKLUL(16) Horst(11) carpet(8) Shaborys(7)
Vraklul decides that this rug is apparently too hard to hit. Let's go for the hungry chest. RECKLESSLY.
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 11 | 11 + 6 = 17
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 6 = 9
DM says, "That hits"
Vraklul rolls 1 12-sided die: 9 | 9 + 6 = 15
Vraklul exclaims, "*That's* more like it!"
[slingergame] DM says, "Aw yeah, he's back."
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(23) mimic(19) Vraklul(16) HORST(11) carpet(8) Shaborys(7)
Vraklul hacks into the wooden side of the chest. Blood and wood chips fly everywhere.
Horst grabs onto the chunked-up wall and tries to deadlift it.
DM says, "Awesome"
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 + 2 = 10
DM says, "Aw"
Horst says, "Hrrrrnnnngggggg"
DM says, "You manage to lift it a few feet"
DM says, "Maybe lift with your knees, not your back next time"
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(23) mimic(19) Vraklul(16) Horst(11) CARPET(8) Shaborys(7)
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 5 = 12
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Sadly, it has Advantage."
DM says, "Vraklul is just too slip -oh"
DM rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 5 = 18
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Because I was Reckless."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Unless the grease still applies."
DM says, "You are grappled (I think)"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Then Advantage and Disadvantage would cancel out?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Hm, okay"
[slingergame] DM says, "but now it's all soaked up in the carpet"
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(23) mimic(19) Vraklul(16) Horst(11) carpet(8) SHABORYS(7)
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Yeah? Woot!"
Shaborys shoots at the thing swimming below us.
Vraklul exclaims, "I should get Horst to lard me up before EVERY battle!"
DM says, "The carpet slides of Vraklul's well-oiled, muscular body"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 6 = 12
DM exclaims, "That hits!"
Shaborys rolls 1 6-sided die: 5 | 5 + 4 = 9
Quarion asks, "Wait, there was something swimming below us? We're not in the water anymore?"
DM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
DM advances the initiative: QUARION(23) mimic(19) Vraklul(16) Horst(11) carpet(8) Shaborys(7)
Shaborys says, "There's a pit before the wall."
Shaborys says, "The floor opened up."
Quarion says, "OK."
DM says, "Yeah, the hallway before the wall has opened up."
Quarion thinks for a moment. 'Is that thing actively attacking us? Or was Shabby just preemptively strking it?
Shaborys says, "Pre-emptively."
Quarion says, "OK."
Shaborys says, "I don't imagine it's friendly."
Quarion says, "I think the priority is the wall."
Shaborys says, "I can't do anything to the wall!"
Quarion says, "Magic Missile isn't strong enough. Fire won't do much."
Quarion asks, "What would Brunhilda do?"
Horst exclaims, "Just help me damnit!"
Quarion says, "Yeah, but I'm not that strong!:"
Quarion says, "I don't think I can lift it even if you help me..."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What spells do you have?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Anything potentially relevant?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Maybe any buffs?"
Quarion says, "I've got Shatter, and I can protect up to 3 people from its effects."
[slingergame] Horst says, "Spot me, bro"
[slingergame] DM says, "Elfbro doesn't even lift, bro"
Quarion says, "It works within a 10 foot radius, and produces thunder damage."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "There you go."
Quarion says, "I'm just scared that Vraklul might get hurt."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Don't you have Thunderwave?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Thunderwave's basically a weaker version of Shatter."
[slingergame] DM says, "ah"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "and since it's level 1 instead of level 2, sculpt spells only allows me to protect 2 people instead of 3"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "You don't even have any reason to believe that I'm within 10 feet of the wall in question."
[slingergame] DM says, "If you throw it into the room you'd only need to protect Horst and Vraklul"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "So the corridor's longer than 10 feet?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "How big is the opened-up bit?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "But I think sculpt spells doesn't allow me to shield people I can't see."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "So unless Vrak is visible through the hole in the wall, he's pretty much exposed."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And so are the carpet and the mimic."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So don't worry about it."
[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "There are some spots you can look through"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I meant in the floor."
[slingergame] DM says, "Also, Vraklul CON save is pretty good"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "OK, I'm doing it:"
[slingergame] DM says, "Oh, about 15 feet"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Full width of the corridor by 15 feet?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do I roll a CON save now?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(What's the DC?)"
[slingergame] Alex says (to Vraklul), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that dc is a unix-based calculator."
Quarion raises his quarterstaff in true wizard style. 'Stand back!'
(From Quarion) He tosses a chip of mica into the air!
[slingergame] DM says, "15 feet long, about 3 feet wide"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "But is that the full width? Or can we walk around it?"
(From Quarion) And a sudden loud ringing noise, painfully intense, erupts from a point centered on the wall.
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, you can (there is a small bit on the edge that Horst walked across)"
DM says, "Chunks of wall fly everywhere! Good thing Horst is protected."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "The 1?"
DM says, "BOOM! Quarion blasts the wall away! And you see the room in which Quarion is fighting a chest monster and dances around a rug. Both rug and mimic don't seem to happy about the damage. Also, the ceiling of that room is coming down."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "The rug"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I'm not fighting a chest monster! Vrak is."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I assume you mean *I'm* fighting them, not Quarion."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "And do I need to roll a CON save?"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Gasp! My twin brother! *faints�"

DM says, "it may be a mimic, but the pain is real"
Vraklul exclaims, "There's plenty of angry treasure chest and rug monster to go around!"
Horst sees the greasy half-orc axing a toothy chest and that's too weird.
Horst shoots the watery thing with some magic.

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Can I shoot the carpet without hitting Vraklul?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Sure"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "The unseen monstrosity is mainly unhappy about not getting to roll initiative. Why should a carpet get to roll and not him?"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 6 = 9

Quarion takes out the rod of immovability!
[slingergame] DM exclaims (at Quarion), "Yay!"
Quarion exclaims, "I'm going to stop that pesky ceiling!"
Quarion asks, "Can I run around the hole and rush into the room?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "I.e., by going in on my own without waiting for the rest of the party, I saved the rest of them from falling into a trap!"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "I did the exactly right thing!"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Yay"
Guenni hollers, "night everyone."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "And I would've gotten away with it to, if it weren't for you kids and your meddling orc"
DM says (to Quarion), "Sure"
DM says, "You'd take a AoO from the carpet, but that's happy with snuggling Vraklul"
Quarion dashes around the hole, runs into the room, and jumps towards the ceiling, rod in hand. He pushes the button just as the rod is closest to the ceiling.
DM asks, "So you rush in and place the immovable rod?"
DM says, "SLINK! The ceiling gives a protesting grinding sound"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, but you were grappled."
DM says, "You escape, yay."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is there anything about grappling that keeps me from making AoO's?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Well, you were rolled up in a carpet (and also blinded)"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I thought it just kept me from getting away."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So, more than just grappled."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yep"
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "But now you are free again!"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "But now I'm free! Do I still get a turn?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Time to cut a rug, my friends"
Quarion asks, "Hey guys. Will hitting the rug hurt Vrak now, or is he truly free?"
Quarion says, "I saw him flinch when Shabby shot the rug."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Joke's on the rug: I may be grappled, and I may be taking damage, but I have *always* been *truly* free. And no magic rug can take that away from me."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Still, killing it will hurt you because it really tied the room together."

Horst says, "And by 'step in' I mean yell from across the room"
Vraklul exclaims (at Horst), "How can it be dead? IT WAS NEVER ALIVE!"
Horst says, "It wasn't bad; it was just woven that way."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yay"
DM exclaims, "You have solved the death trap! Hooray!"
DM says, "also, I meant to wrap it up 40 minutes ago, so ..."
Vraklul exclaims, "Man. That was close. I could hardly breathe. At one point, I even passed out in there!"
[slingergame] DM says, "That was a fun combat."
Quarion asks, "Uh, that was me. Sorry, Vrak?"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It was!"
Vraklul says, "Oh."
Quarion says, "I really thought Sleep'd work on a rug."
Vraklul asks, "Were you the one who kept poking me with sharp things while I was inside there, too?"
Shaborys looks away.
Quarion exclaims, "That was her!"
Vraklul says, "Ah."
Shaborys asks, "Let's not get wrapped up in who did what, ok?"
Vraklul asks, "Well, uh. Thanks everybody for... helping out?"
Quarion says, "Also, Horst nearly maced you, too, but he missed."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Unintentional wrapped up joke there."
DM says, "Hey, Luthian didn't hurt you"
Quarion asks, "Wait! He didn't roll init?"
Quarion asks, "Did he just stay behind on the Skyshark and drink cocktails?"
Horst says, "Also the ceiling might crush us at any time so maybe we could move along out of here"
DM says, "He disconnected. Again. To be honest, I'm a little miffled by that. I think this is the third time or so this happened."
Quarion says, "Real life can be a bummer."
Vraklul asks (of Horst), "Do you see any other way out of here?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Quarion, how is your init modifier +5? It says +1 on your sheet (DEX)."
Shaborys scouts out the room.
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "It's my wizard spellcasting mod (INT) from level 4?"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Oh dear, did I mess up something?"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Ohhhh. Is that a thing?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "It is."
DM says, "Yeah, but he never talks to me about it, and it's sort of bad because like, combat is scaled to have 5 guys, not 4."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "No idea. I've never played a Wizard."
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "You get to use Int instead of Dex for initiative? Huh."
[slingergame] DM says, "Hm."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Well, INT is what makes spells work."
[slingergame] Horst says, "inIt and INT are not the same thing, alas"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I was just curious, b/c damnit, I'm the dexterious one."
[slingergame] Horst says, "Also I know it's getting late for some people so don't let me keep y'all"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Well, if you want, next time I'll roll 1d20+4 instead."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "It doesn't matter that much to me."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "(the INIT thing)"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I'm more concerned with getting my attacks right."
[slingergame] DM says, "I'm pretty sure you use DEX, as everyone does"
[slingergame] DM says, "So that should be 1d20+1"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "OK, from now on I'll use DEX, like everyone, until further notice from the DM."
[slingergame] Quarion makes a note.
Horst asks, "Is there a big sack of treasure in this room?"
[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "Good catch"
DM says, "Alas, no."
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "So that was cool. We didn't really say goodbye to the crew in the blimp. I presume they're not waiting for us to return?"
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "The dog is aboard!!"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oh!"
[slingergame] Horst says, "Also this is sort of cheese but we should probably say one of us grabbed all the rest of Vrak's stuff and brought it down here"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "They'd hardly steal him."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And so is a bunch of our stuff, I assume."
[slingergame] Horst says, "They won't leave with our dog"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Anything not waterproof.)"
[slingergame] DM says, "I'm sure they'll wait. "Oh, okay, they'll find their way out. Bye bye!""
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok."
[slingergame] Horst says, "They got a big over-under gambling pool as to how many of us will die down here"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, we'll assume you have all your adventuring equipment."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Sorry about the INIT mistake."
[slingergame] DM says, "No worries"
Horst asks (of Vraklul), "Do you need any healing or will you take care of yourself?"
Vraklul says, "It would be appreciated, thank you."
DM says, "We'll just pick it up here in 2 weeks. Please take note of your current HP etc."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm down 28 HP."
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "I lost a little HP to the mimic, but I don't know how much!"
[slingergame] Horst asks, "wait are we seriously a go on Dec 27th?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Horst), "Not that I've heard."
Horst rolls 2 8-sided dice: 2 3 | 5 + 6 = 11
Horst says, "Vraklul gets 11 hp back"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "The wiki says the next two games are Dec 16 and Jan 6."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "ah 5 HP"
Vraklul exclaims, "Thanks!"
[slingergame] Horst says, "wait, I can't math"
[slingergame] Horst says, "failed an INT check of my own"
[slingergame] Horst exclaims, "okay so good!"
[slingergame] Horst says, "nice work everyone"
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Yay still being alive!"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Woo!"
[slingergame] Horst says, "glad we didn't just leave you down here, Vraklul"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, that was fun"
