Curiouser and curiouser.
Hey, people!
I have two keys. One in my pocket that I knew about and one that just fell out of my backpack. I have no idea how the second one got there.

I fear we are being set-up by "the man" (or the cult or whatever).

[OOC: Confused? So am I. Refer back to Lidda's posting at the bottom of page one. I hope she was serious and I'm not screwing up the plot ]

Naull, have you posted you stats on the other iconics thread? Are you a sorcerer or a wizard?

Oh, BTW, I think PC is DMing tonight, so updates may have to wait a bit.

DOH!
Ok, never mind all that yammering I did above. I thought she had stolen a key from one of the people who got turned away, and then slipped it in pack so she wouldn't get caught with it. But your way makes a lot more sense.
What do you want, I'm a sorceror--I leave subtlty and intelligence to the rogues and wizards.

I agree with Eberk. I was certain this missing key matter was a fluke of coincidence, so I sat and said nothing... Now I'm getting a bit impatient.

Meta: Nope, Hennet, you got it right. Lidda nicked that key off of one of the poor unfortunates waiting outside, and hid it in your backpack. But you found it, at least! By the way, starting tomorrow I'm going to speed things up a bit. I'll fast forward you through uninteresting, mundane details.. going fast enough to keep interest, but slow enough for you to make decisions. Sorry about any pacing issues so far, it's been a busy week and I've never done this before.

{The camera shifts. Outside, a gnome continuously kicks a tree, illusory keys spinning around him. "I KNOW I had it!" he squeaks.)

And inside, all fifteen keys - nonmagical, Naull, although it is clear that the iron door has been magically strengthened - fir into the locks and are turned. And with a grinding screech, the iron door begins to sink. You pluck your keys out in time, and watch the door sink out of sight.

I would suggest everyone make peace with whatever entity they might worship, because IT'S ICONIC FIGHTIN' TIME!

OK, everyone, let's look alive!
I want this clean, precise, and by the numbers...

I want some eyes up front - Lidda, Kerwyn - take the point!

We need some muscle to back them up in a hurry if we meet with some unfriendlies in this dank soulless place, so Ma'Varketh and Regdar, get right behind them and make sure they don't get hit!

Tordek, you're with me right behind them.

The rest of you non-combat types behind with eyes and ears peeled.
Any ranged weapons or spells at the ready would be appreciated.

Jozan, you bring up the rear - we need someone who can get our people patched up if they take one for the team.

Let's stay frosty, people!

We're going in...

OOC: Then it's good you interpreted it this way, Hennet!

To Eberk, while the locks are opened (slightly upset): I'm NOT a burglar! Turning around to spin the key, before the dwarf can answer.

Sensing the growing impatience around him, Kerwyn makes the first step inwards...

Finally... Now let's see what awaits us!

[/OOC]

OOC: Kazak she's a Iconic Wizard, Regdar doesn't know about stats. Regdar still needs to post equipment for Regdar

PC any way you want to do this, if Regdar is not on-line, Regdar just kills everything in site, looking for opportunities to cleave when available. If the opponent has a low AC, Regdar will go for power attacks converting 2 points. If Regdar ever flanks always power attack with a 2 switch.
/OOC

Poor Nebin. Bah lets get on with this.

Right! I believe Alhandra covered everything. Eyes open, be READY and ALERT. Check those corners...

OOC: I'll be unable to post for most of today through sunday. Please assume these for me- Mage Armor on me (I've only got 12 hp), followed by Magic Missile. In the event of a big baddie I cast summon monster II.

thanks!

OOC: I keep my eyes open, If there is a battle that looks pretty strong, I will hit one of our lighter armored spell casters with a Barkskin. But if the battle doesn't look too powerful I won't waste the spell. Perae (the bear) will protect me and my freinds from most anything, save aberations and other unnatural looking horrors. /OOC

*Vadania looks to Perae, looks to her humanoid companions, smiles, and stands ready.*

Guys after all this prep were going to feel silly if nothings in there.

I cast Mage Armor, too. That gives me an AC 16, 14 when flat-footed.

Sword and shield in hand, Ma'varkith takes her place in the party's marching order.

She chuckles to herself, face turning red. Attempting to regain control of herself, she fails.

"Is this gonna be a stand-up fight, or another kobold hunt?"

OOC: I probably won't be posting this weekend, either. General strategy is to use my superior speed (40 base movement, higher if I need it by manifesting "Burst") to maneuver into flanking positions in support of the rogues and Regdar.

Kerwyns general battle strategie will be to move forward and to the side of opponents or even behind them (using Tumble if necessary) to give Regdar room to engage them. He usually carries a throwing dagger, ready to hit any surprised opponents with a nasty sneak attack if his reflexes allow this, otherwise (or afterwards) he will draw his rapier and move into flanking position (if possible and not too dangerous), focusing on sneak attacks (of course). He will be wary of undead opponents and leave those to the ones better suited for this task (clerics, paladin and fighters). After a fight, when a throwing dagger was used, he will retrieve and clean it.

Enough preparation! Into the darkness...

Kerwyn points into the corridor/room and carefully moves forward.

"Being prepared is NEVER silly, Vadania!

It's what keeps us alive, and I'd venture to guess that your bear friend there is "prepared" as well.
He uses his senses on alert and steel for battle if he recognizes danger near.... should we do any different?

Now, if anyone is burning non-replaceable or non-persistent spells now, that's not what I intended by saying "prepare any spells".

Now if only we could catch sight of a friendly little 3-legged cat around here, this show could get on the road..."

*Alhandra wonders if this is the speeded up part of the adventure...*

Alhandra, bears don't use steel. Bah it seems our paladin friend has been getting confused as of late, too much Jozan saying he's "Laying on Hands," and "I'll show you wood," confusing her perception of reality going on it seems.

Suddenly and inexplicably, Jozan finds himself pressed into the corner behind a huge black bear.

"By Pelor's Searing Scalp! Onward into the darkness, against the unknown, throught the door to destiny, etc. and the sooner the better! This bear is sniffing at me in a very suspicious manner.

"I doubt that trailing large pets is in my contract. In fact I am sure it is NOT. I hope this bear knows just when and where to properly releive itself, Vadania. I would hate to have my ability to, say, blast undead creatures into unholy dust compromised by having bear ca-ca on my boots!"

"Careful there Reg lad, or Vadania will set the bear on ye. And we'd hate to have to start stiching ye legs back on."
