[sblock=Adventure Rules]I am borrowing most of these from Sunshadow21, who I believe borrowed them in turn from Perrinmiller.

* I will use group initiatives, rolling them myself. So in combat you must post your actions within 48-72 hours of the players turn coming up. Unless stated by a character that their actions are to follow another character, they will be resolved in posted order. After that time, if there was no communication with the DM, I will NPC the MIA player and move on.

* Dice rollers can be Invisible Castle or the EnWorld on-line dice roller for the players. I will using my own methods for rolling in order to keep secret rolls properly secret.

* Any absences for longer than 2-3 days should be communicated to the DM. If you do not post for a week or more without having informed the DM, he reserves the right to remove you from the adventure giving you your share of the XP and treasure earned as well as time XP and gp to the date of your last post. I will be less strict about this rule surrounding the Christmas Holiday due to the fact that it is one of those times of the year when people travel a lot. But informing me of absences would still be preferred.

* There may be a short intermission during the course of the adventure during which time, if your character has enough Experience Points to level, they may do so. This will give them the opportunity to have a better chance at survival during the tougher stages of the adventure. Leveling prior to this short intermission will not be permitted.

* All characters need an appropriate character picture. Also a mini-stat spoiler block that includes a link to your character sheet will be required in every IC post during a fight.[/sblock]

replying to Davian and Maui the guardsman says "No Sir, little Davian here is what we call a Halfling, that means he isn't a human, nor is he a child. He is a full grown member of his race. And he appears to be fully cognizant of how naive you happen to be. That said we have business to attend to here, so if you all are ready I suggest you get a move on. The Tombs that the undead are popping out of should be easy enough to find. Sealing them on the other hand might prove more troublesome."

GM: Due to jkason being unable to access the internet until the 9th, I will be having him stay in the background until he gets back. If combat breaks out between now and then I will NPC him along just to keep the flow of the adventure moving.

Fulgrim looks at the others finishing the last of his drink and then looks at the others as he stands. "Sounds like its time ta get ta work." Fulgrim says, pushing his chair back to the table. "Whelp Ni, ye just might get to meet some of these undead yer curious about!"

Arianna (Mermaid Synthesist 1/Cleric of Tanager 1)

"Well, if we are going out after them immediately, I need to change into my battle dress. This will only take a minute or two." After removing her holy symbol from around her neck and laying it on the table, she stands and draws her cloak over her shoulders, closing it. Lifting the hood over her head and then down over her face, she starts singing and swaying under the cloak while using her arms to billow it from within. The singing gets louder as the cloak rises a bit. The contents seem to be growing taller.

Abruptly, the singing stops. Blue clawed hands part the cloak back over the shoulders of a blue scaled lizardfolk looking demon. Pulling the hood back, the mermaid can just be made out inside the features of the body armor demon skin.

Picking up the backpack off the back of her chair, she slings it onto her back. Likewise with the speargun. Picking up the holy symbol of Tanager, she returns it to its place around her neck. Stepping over to her old table she retrieves her longspear from under it. Turning back, "I am ready now."

Maui listens to the guardsman carefully trying his best to understand.

"I know he is a Half Lean... "

Unwilling to seems ignorant he decides to fall silent. He broods waiting for the group to depart every now and again looking at Davian out of the corner of his eye.

When Arianna takes her second form he whistles in amazement and begins a slow clap.

"Maui has been trying to learn to take te Skin of the Beast for many years. I feel te Beast bubbling beneath but there it stays. Most axceptional!"

 

[DalkonCledwin]

GM: I am going to let you guys decide how you want to approach locating and sealing the tombs. I will tell you the results of what actions you take, but I want you to pretty much guide the attempts yourselves.

 

[Qik]

Ni finishes whatever number ale he was working on and bounds out of his seat excitedly, nodding his head in affirmation of Fulgrim. "Aye, looks to be so, seems so, might come true..."

Whatever continuation of that sentence is cut short as Ni witnesses Arianna's transformation. The gnome's eyes widen for a moment, his face one of intense preoccupation, and then he bursts into an uncannily huge grin. "A Levicol! A life-bonded! My my my my my my, merwoman, but aren't you a wondrous sort! And you're coming with us!" Overcome with excitement, the gnome rushes over to Arianna, leaps into the air, and seizes her in a huge embrace.

OOC: Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. So basically, we're off to see one of these tombs now?

 

[IronWolf]

OOC: Looks like we need to locate them first. Fulgrim would step up, but it seems uncharacteristic of Fulgrim to have a meaningful idea for locating them.

 

[Satin Knights]

Arianna (Mermaid Synthesist 1/Cleric of Tanager 1)

Yes, Ni, I am coming with you. I will do the fighting and the healing. The rage of Tanager's storms shall strike down these undead for good."

"So Guardsman, where are the tombs that the undead are coming from?"

"And what parts of the city are they wandering around in or towards?"

Looking to the other little one, "Don't worry Davian, we will get you some tools. The forest walker doesn't realize that little hands are much better at dealing with delicate traps. And there are many traps in cities and dungeon crypts. Why, in my last hunt, we had the same trap go off twice!"

 

[Qik]

OOC: What kind of malicious GM sets a trap that goes off twice!?

Ni releases Arianna from his gnome-sized bear hug and smiles his huge smile at her. "I am glad to hear it, mersister. Now, if you will excuse me, I shall prepare my own companion."

Ni walks over to the bar and whispers in Grog's ear for a moment. Grumbling, the half-orc disappears momentarily, returning with a grimy table cloth. Approaching an empty table, Ni unfolds the cloth and covers the table completely, and then begins to pace around the covered table this way and that, mumbling to himself incoherently and occasionally poking the table. After about a minute he stops, grasps the table cloth firmly, and yanks it, shouting, "VOILA!"

In place of the table sits...well, it's hard to know what to call it. The creature seems to be a cross between an elephant and a feline, and is the size of a large dog. Ni's usually-impossibly-large smile increases to epic proportions. "Lumoi'es! Glad to see you could make it in your entirety this time." With that, the gnome hops onto the back of the creature and begins to make his way towards the door; meanwhile, Grog tries to decide how upset he should be over his transmuted table.
