Lamentation of Lolth - OoC VIII

[Wilphe]

Well I have read from the point in Chapter VI where Majin suggested I start, right through to the current point

The only question I have to ask is:

What happenened between Dunstand opening the Tomb and the end of the battle where several people got sucked into the book?

He has a theory, but it might not fit the facts.

 

[Mimic]

Left over wands - Mimic - Which were the wands that you ended up identifying from the lot you had? I can't quite remember and can't find it in my notes at the moment. I'll get the rest of those ID'ed for you in this run.

Unfortunately I don't have that information and it seems we lost it in the great database disaster as well as the items pulled from the room behind the sarcophagus of which all I remember is a magical half-spear of some sort (although I think I remember some magical jars or gourds of some type)

Unfortunately I don't have that information and it seems we lost it in the great database disaster as well as the items pulled from the room behind the sarcophagus of which all I remember is a magical half-spear of some sort (although I think I remember some magical jars or gourds of some type)

Isn't there was a shield too?

For what happen after the sarcophagus, in brief:

We loot a treasure room where we found potions and the spear, we then continue to explore and fall on a trap where skeleton attacked us. (In an OOC, the captor of Chastety soul trigger that trap). We then found a mechanical beholder. Not wanting to play with it, we removed the wand that was placed in his eyes. After that, we got out of that place, having foudn no clues. We ocntinue further in teh swamp up to the great statue that has fallen. We inspect the head of the statue (which contain many rooms) where we found a big insect and after that, the hag and her pet, a golem made of vegetales (don'T remember which kind exactly). Anyway, we destoyed both but the book power was triggered at that moment.

I don,t remember where we have found the book.

Yes, the database crash lost quite a lot of story that Wilphe would have find interesting to fill in the gaps of what's been happening. Velmont summarized it for the most part. There was also this interlude that I wrote pertaining to Chastity & another of their lost companions Andreas, just to give an idea of what's going on behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure there was another part to this, but I no longer have it saved, which is ashame as I quite liked how it turned out, but here is this part for what it's worth, (Just for flavor):

~
Tears streamed down her face as she was forced to watch the scene unfold. Those she loved but was denied their names, cut down right before her eyes. You are the cause of this... Blood sprayed and flesh parted as grinning, exploding skulls ripped their bodies to shreds. A man in priestly vestments knelt by one of his fallen companions in an attempt to heal them, but was stabbed from behind with a scimitar. She watched in horror as the blade penetrated the priest’s back and exited through his chest. Your fault… Her mouth worked in a silent scream as her body was wracked with unbearable pain. The cruel, cacophonous laughter continued to echo through her mind, in gleeful, orgasmic pleasure. Suffer… it intoned.

Sweet lady, blessed twilight to my wretched day,
Send me your enemies and your critics.
Send me the blind and the uninitiated,
And I will show them the enlightenment
That comes from agony.
In your name, I am strong.

That cursed chant, he thought, sick of the twisted prayer he had heard repeated for hours upon hours. Andreas coughed up blood as his body was jarred with multiple scourge lashes. The blood ran down his chin and onto his tattered and ripped robes, already stained black with his life fluids. He fought not to scream as unseen images and designs were roughly etched into his skin with sharp needles. Soaked with poison to intensify the pain, was what they had whispered… Every time he was at the brink of death, he was brought back, so they could begin the process anew. His eyes stared, fixed straight ahead. Cold they were, after suffering this endless torture for so long. He would not give in. He would not relent. He would be strong. As another barrage of scourge tendrils ripped into his body a smile began to creep onto his face…

What happenened between Dunstand opening the Tomb and the end of the battle where several people got sucked into the book?

He has a theory, but it might not fit the facts.

Here is the readers digest version of what I remember...

We found a secret room behind the tomb filled with various items (some magical items,) not finding anything else we leave and get assulted by skeletons which were vaporised quite nicely by Verbatim's character. we continue looking around and found a mechanical beholder. Broddy wanted to take it with them but was outvoted. Instead we stripped what we could and left.


Having found nothing we decided to go find the hag and teach her that it was impolite to lie to us and the rest you know.

 

[Velmont]

Anotehr note, Broddy is our only caster, but Sielwoodan, with his Sorcerer level, can manipulate wands. We have many of them, so he could become the poor arcane caster of teh group if we gives him a few wands.

 

[Majin]

Also, any of you that mentioned you'd like to enchant your own armor instead of taking up magic items are free to do so if they have the funds and can find someone to do so.

 

[kirinke]

I think that Teleri is fine right now. I'd like to upgrade her chainshirt to +1. Like Calenthang, she's probably not going to want to give it up. And I'd also like to trade the shield for a shortsword of some sort possibly masterwork or magical if we can afford it.

 

[hippocrachus]

I don't see why Teleri wouldn't want to give up her armor for a better suit if it comes along. Somebody ought to make use of it that can.
I also remember offering you the +1 Shortsword Calenthang is carrying. He isn't going to put it to use, and I think you should, having Two Weapon Fighting and all...

 

[kirinke]

That'll work. If we can I'd really like some elvish chainmail. That's automatically masterwork and we can enchant it later.
