Deos nods his head in agreement with Lupic. "We should be off, my friends." He turns to Debra, "Thank you for your delightful hospitality, dear lady. May the blessings of the gods be upon you." At that, he returns to the wagon, eager to head out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu12-29-05, 08:23 PM
"Indeed we should." Semabin then turns to Debra and says "May the winds spread the stories of your hospitality and of your splendid meals."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar12-29-05, 08:46 PM
At Kyle's request, she sends for a small basket of rolls, really just enough for a snack on the way. "Here you are. Have a safe journey and stop by on your way back. You will know the turn to Apple Glade by a large old oak on the east side of the road. Take the path east and its another 10 miles or so."
The party sets off, full from an excellent noon meal. They pass a small wood to the north east of the road. The road grows steadily more hilly and the surroundings more wooded. The sun is nearly to the horizon when the party spots the large oak that Debra spoke of. A dirt trail continues past the oak to the north east, just barely wide enough for the party's cart. The winding trail will not slow down their overland travel, but if they have to run for it, they may have to abandon the cart as the path is winding and trees grow up near the trail on both sides.
A small wood sign is planted on the side of the path. Its old and the painted message is almost completely worn out. The group can only decipher a few bits of it.
Ap..e Gla..0 m..es
B..are of t..te..ap.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool12-29-05, 10:03 PM
Deos squints at the sign and sighs. "Keep your eyes peeled everyone, we might be in for some trouble."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu12-29-05, 10:07 PM
"Nah, I don't think so. The sign's so old, whatever that dangre might have been, it should be gone by now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza12-29-05, 11:23 PM
Feeling a little apprehensive after seeing the sign, and with the country ride feel of the venture seeming to have gone from the air, Kyle seeks solace in the rolls provided by Debra, absentmindedly chewing while he watches the trees for any sign of ambush.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool12-30-05, 05:04 PM
"Nah, I don't think so. The sign's so old, whatever that dangre might have been, it should be gone by now.
"Perhaps you are right, good Semabin. At any rate, given what we are suspecting Klosterman of, caution would still serve us best." Deos urges the group to continue forward, and he carefully examines their surroundings as they progress along.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar12-31-05, 10:19 PM
The group makes another mile or two before the sun completes it's descent. The group guesses it is another 8 miles to Apple Glade. Do they press on or make camp? If making camp, is the group looking for anything in particular for a campsite?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-01-06, 12:17 AM
"How are we placed for light sources? Not that I need one, I can see quite well in the dark, all those carrots I eat" the dwarf says with a grin "Perhaps if we set up a couple of lanterns on the wagon we could push on to Apple Glade?" Kyle suggests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-02-06, 04:05 AM
"How are we placed for light sources? Not that I need one, I can see quite well in the dark, all those carrots I eat" the dwarf says with a grin "Perhaps if we set up a couple of lanterns on the wagon we could push on to Apple Glade?" Kyle suggests.
"Light, dark, I see anyway. How many can go in dark besides you and me?" Replies Lupic.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-03-06, 04:51 AM
OOC: Any input from the those not blessed with Darkvision?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-03-06, 04:27 PM
While Semabin isn't quite sure about Kyle's ability to see in the dark, he thinks pressing on in the dark is exciting!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-03-06, 05:22 PM
"Well, if we are going to press on ahead in the dark, I'm going to get a little rest in the back of the wagon. I'd recommend that we light a few torches and hand them out to those who can't see in the dark."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-04-06, 12:53 AM
Deos retires to the wagon, while Semabin and Fenwick light (let me know if either of you would rather not light torches and I will edit accordingly). Semabin impatiently leads the way, peering into the darkness passed where his torch shines. Fenwick is right behind him while Lupic brings up the rear (again, let me know if you'd like it different).
A half hour passed after the sun has set, trees closing in around the narrow path.
Fenwick:
Thanks to his low-light vision, Fenwick notices a tree branch move and for just a moment sees a shadowy form disappear into the night around 20 paces away to the right side of the road.
DM notes to self:
Char: Listen: Spot:
Semabin -1 -1
Fenwick +4 +0
Lupic +0 +0
Kyle +3 +3
Deos +4 +5
OOC: Is Findlefarb still with us? He hasn't been seen since 12-24. If he does not post by tomorrow (Wednesday) night, assume reveals the information in the first SBLOCK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-04-06, 11:27 AM
Kyle sits in the back of the wagon, his eyes staring into the darkness trying to detect any sign of ambush, his ears straining to hear any noise over the creak of the wagon and the jingling of the tack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-05-06, 12:42 AM
Lupic will simply ride along and wait for something to happen. He considers himself generally capable of dealing with whatever will happen. That fine line between bravery and stupidity and all that.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-05-06, 06:52 PM
Fenwick points into the darkness. "A shape moved over there." No one else sees what he is pointing at. "It looked like it moved away."
Do you continue on, investigate where Fenwick is pointing, or something else?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-05-06, 09:02 PM
Deos scans the darkness, trying to see any moving shapes. Not seeing anything, he says, "We should investigate." More quietly, he whispers to his companions, "It might be bandits, be careful."
Having said that, Deos moves his hands over his forearms and intones, in auran, "Shohoneth halthey."
Then he loads his crossbow.
OOC: Deos casts Mage Armor, and then loads his crossbow, keeping an eye on the spot that Fenwick pointed to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-05-06, 10:25 PM
Semabin looks where Fenwick pointed. Not seeing anything (presumably), he says "Might just be an animal startled by our approach, but I'll take a look regardless."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-06-06, 02:26 PM
"Does this mean I get to hit someone?" Lupic asks eagerly.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-06-06, 03:55 PM
Tying the cart horses quickly to a tree, Lupic and Semabin lead the rest into the trees to the right of the road (where Fenwick pointed).
No one sees or hears anything (low rolls) until a giant spider web flies from the darkness 10 paces ahead, but unfolds too quickly just as a breeze picks up and falls short of entangling Lupic.
The enemy wastes no time mourning it's failed attempt to ensnare Lupic and throws another tangled mess at Deos, entangling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) and anchoring the poor man in place. Chittering, the man-sized, bipedal spider-like creature runs deeper into the forest.
Initiative:
Enemy (18)
Semabin (16)
Lupick (9)
Fenwick (4)
Deos (1)
Kyle (1)
OOC Notes:
Touch attack on first web missed.
enemy, Semabin, Fenwick, Lupic, Deos, Kyle (1d20+3=18, 1d20+3=16, 1d20+2=4, 1d20+2=9, 1d20+0=1, 1d20-1=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329208)
Touch attack on second web hit. Escape Artist or Strength check to escape.
Enemy has full concealment at the moment to those without darkvision, but the character know the direction so a torch bearer can move toward it and bring it back into everyone's view.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-06-06, 04:48 PM
If the enemy is close enough to get to and attack, I will. If not I will assist in getting Deos out of the web.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-06-06, 07:21 PM
Deos, thiniking that they might find a bandit, is totally unprepared for the spider. "What the ..." He says, right before becoming ensnared in the sticky mass of web.
He is frozen for a moment in horror, and then begins wracking his brain to try and figure out just what that thing was as he attempts to slip out of the web.
OOC: Escape Artist +0, if you please. Also, Knowledge Arcana +11 or Knowledge History +4, in an attempt to figure out what the beast was. Ettercap, or just monstrous spider? Notable weaknesses? Notable Defenses?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-06-06, 07:38 PM
Lupic steps toward Deos and the webs and easily (1d20+7=18, 1d3+5=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329351) tear the webs free from Deos. Deos is unentangled by his turn.
OOC: Lupic is not close enough to attack since his speed is reduced by armor. Does he wish to attack or grapple? Deos does not recall anything regarding this type of creature, his studies focusing in other areas. Spider's are Knowledge (nature) and Ettercaps are aberrations, which is Knowledge (dungeoneering). The last seems inappropriate so I'd say it also falls under nature as well. And feel free to make any rolls on invisible castle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-06-06, 07:47 PM
Semabin puts his torch in the off-hand, draws his first scimitar and follows the creature.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-06-06, 08:25 PM
If the creature comes close Lupic will move to grapple. (as a rule his attacks are always going to start with instigating a grapple, then using the armor spikes to do damage).
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-06-06, 09:27 PM
"Good work my large friend!" Deos says. He scans the darkness for the creature, and, if he can see it, takes a shot with his crossbow before giving chase with the rest of his companions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-06-06, 10:13 PM
Kyle pulls his skillet from his backpack and cautiously moves after the others "My god" he says as he catches a look at the monstrosity with his darkvision "That thing would go well in a stew, a couple of hours on slow boil to tenderise and I believe you would have an incredible dish"
OOC:Apologies, just realised I don't have any spells selected. I'll add them to the PC sheet but won't use anything in this encounter bar healing if necessary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-07-06, 12:21 AM
Round 1:
Semabin rushes forward drawing his weapon. (If he prefers to charge he can attack the enemy this round)
Lupic pulls the webs from Deos.
Fenwick(NPCed) begins singing an inspiring song about removing creepy-crawlies from under teh bed. Inspire Courage for +1 to attack and damage.
Deos sees the beast, now illuminated by Semabin's torch. He fires his crossbow(1d20=14, 1d8=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329558), but misses due to concern avoiding Semabin.
Kyle draws his skillet and moves forward
Beginning of Round 2:
The creature attacks (1d20+5=24, 1d8+2=4, 1d20+3=4, 1d3+1=4, 1d20+3=6, 1d3+1=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329566) Semabin, sinking it's teeth into the warrior while it's claws find only the air. Semabin hit for 4 damage. He feels poison burn in the wound, but his body fights (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329569) off the effects.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Shouldn't Lupic be next to Deos? I did just remove his webs.
Buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-07-06, 12:38 AM
Deos sees the shadowy form of the creature. When Semabin's torch reveals it, his shock at its appearance makes his shot go wide. Losing only the briefest of moments, Deos chants out "Shey thohulayem!" And a brilliant blue arrow of force streaks out from his hand and crashes into the creatures chitinous hide.
Damage (1d4+1=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329575)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-07-06, 06:44 PM
OOC: Deos fired his crossbow and then moved forward 30 feet. Lupic had to move to get to Deos to remove the webs so was not able to move closer to the enemy last round. I should have put a map up right away. I'll do that next time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-07-06, 08:05 PM
"Eeew. Anyone ever told you how ugly you are?!" Semabin shouts as he sees the creature in its "full glory"
He attempts to tumble around the creature so it is between himself and his companions, and slashes at the creature afterwards.
Move 15 feet (2 squares diagonally) to get to the opposite side of the creature; tumble attempt to avoid AOO, then attack.
Tumble, Attack, Damage if hit. (1d20+4=10, 1d20+4=20, 1d6+1=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330119) - Failure on tumble, so he provokes AoO.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-08-06, 07:00 AM
Round 2 continues
Semabin (16) - 4 damage
Lupic (9)
Fenwick (4)
Deos (1)
Kyle (1)
Semabin whirls around the enemy, deftly dodging the fangs of the beast (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330598), and slashing at its back.
Fenwick, seeing the situation is nearly under control, continues his song and remains where he is.
Lupic charges to tackle (1d20+9=24, 1d3+5=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330604) the enemy and succeeds in pulling the opponent into his grasp. (1d20+11=29, 1d20+5=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330610)
Deos casts his spell, eliciting louder and more frantic chittering from the monstrosity.
Kyle moves up near the fight, skillet in hand.
Round 3 begins
Enemy (18) - 15 damage
The creature makes a desparate (1d20+1=14, 1d8+2=9, 1d20-1=15, 1d3+1=2, 1d20-1=0, 1d3+1=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330615) at the strong half-orc holding him. Though impeeded by Lupic's grapple, the charge left him just open enough to feel the rake of one claw (2 damage).
OOC: Knight, you forgot the +1/+1 from Fenwick's song. I also forgot to include it in Lupic's rolls, but it is included in the damage tally.
Is Lupic dealing lethal or non-lethal damage?

buzzard01-09-06, 02:27 PM
OOC: Knight, you forgot the +1/+1 from Fenwick's song. I also forgot to include it in Lupic's rolls, but it is included in the damage tally.
Is Lupic dealing lethal or non-lethal damage?
Well this is some kind of monstrosity that he's never seen before, so unless instructed otherwise, he's trying to kill it. Plus it did just draw blood, so it has it comming.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-10-06, 07:05 PM
Semabin strikes at the creature again, and, if the creature is still alive, looks to securely plant the torch so he has his hand free for his second scimitar (Semabin might also simply drop the torch if he thinks it is not a bad idea (Wis 8), and draw his second scimitar right away).
Attack roll; damage if hit. Includes song bonus (1d20+5=14, 1d6+2=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=332503)
I'm assuming a move action to plant the torch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-10-06, 09:21 PM
Seeing that Lupic has the creature in its grasp, he moves forward while reloading his crossbow and watching the creature intently. "Fascinating ... " he mutters.
OOC: Deos is reloading his crossbow and moving up 30 ft. He'll keep his crossbow ready in case the creature breaks free.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-11-06, 04:45 AM
Round 3 continued:
Semabin slices into the creature's carapice, eliciting a strange sounding shriek. However, the shriek is not a death rattle so he drops the torch and draws his second scimitar.
Lupic grips the creature in his powerful arms, bearhugging it into the spikes on his armor.grapple to damage (1d20+11=31, 1d20+5=6, 1d6+6=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=332826). The creature goes limp.
End combat
After getting a good look at the nasty creature, Fenwick recalls, "I think I may have heard of these. An ettercap I think it is called."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-11-06, 08:38 AM
"Well it's a deadercap now" Kyle quips, overjoyed that his first real adventure has been a success. Turning to Fenwick he asks "These things don't hapen to hunt in packs do they?" he then starts eyeing the surrounding scrub and trees looking for any more enemies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-11-06, 01:34 PM
"Well, I don't really know. I don't think so. Best to stay alert though."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-11-06, 02:11 PM
"Well, I don't really know. I don't think so. Best to stay alert though."
"Yes, nasty thing. It make me look pretty, and that take a lot of ugly. "
Responds Lupic as he finds some leaves to wipe the gore from his armor spikes.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-11-06, 03:39 PM
Deos lets his gaze linger on the ettercap, his mind racing in an attempt to memorize every detail. Finally, he shakes his head, "We had best decide whether we want to camp for the evening or continue onward."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-11-06, 03:47 PM
As the adrenalin rush of combat fades from your bodies, you note that weariness is beginning to set in after a long day on the road. (Continuing on risks nonlethal damage) You estimate it is another 3-4 hours to Apple Glade.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-11-06, 04:38 PM
Semabin pokes the creature with a scimitar to make sure the creature is actually dead, the puts away the scimitars and retrieves the torch. "Too bad, I had hoped I'd get some practice. Addercap? Strange, it doesn't look like either adder or cap..."
OOC: Secondary poison save for Semabin?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-11-06, 05:04 PM
The poison in Semabin's shoulder continues to burn, but the young man is healthy as a horse. He continues to fight it off.
OOC: Thanks. I thought that if you succeeded on the first save that you did not have for the secondary damage, but I was mistaken. secondary save (1d20+5=21, 2d6=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=333086)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-12-06, 09:35 AM
"So if we're staying here who wants to try some Ettercap stew?" Kyle asks of his companions "I'm sure I can find some edible bits, someone start a fire and the others strike camp while I see what I can do with this" with that Kyle bends down next to the still warm body "Anyone got a knife I can borrow I seem t have left mine behind, oh and we'll need some water and if any of you have any woodlore about you why don't you see if you can dig up some herbs"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-12-06, 02:08 PM
OOC: You are currently ~60 ft from the road. The cart is still on the road. Do you wish to make camp on the road or a little off it, or leave the cart on the road and stay where you are? The cart can't go too far off the road. Are you dragging the ettercap back to the cart?

I'd say we camp off the road. It would be impolite to dig a firepit in a road.

Semabin looks at Kyle in disbelief. "You want to eat that... ugly thing?! I don't think it is really edible. Besides, its bite burned a bit, and I'm not eating anything that burns me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-13-06, 02:32 AM
"Geoth says that everything is edible if prepared the correct way" Kyle replies to Semabin "I'm quite the talented chef you know, I won't kill you, that I swear"

The group camps near the road, but a little off to the side, building a fire. Kyle tugs and drags the ettercap's body over near the fire. The body is close to six feet high and weighs nearly 200 pounds. He is red faced, his great lungs working like a bellows, and an ache has developed in his lower back, but at last the task is done, and the real work begins. With such large prey, he is able to select (1d20+5=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334749) only the best bits and in no time has a brackish stew. It smells surprisingly good though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-14-06, 06:16 AM
"Come on, come on, sit down and eat" Kyle says as he pulls some simple tin plates from beneath the seat of the cart. "We should set a watch tonight in case any more of those creatures come around"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-15-06, 07:00 PM
Deos hesitantly sits and accepts his meal from Kyle. He delays only a moment, though, before hungrily digging in.

The meal is thick and pungent, but an enjoyable flavor for those who are not too picky. The night passes without incident and the party is back on the road shortly after sunrise. They pass a bend in the path just before mid-day the woods end abruptly in cleared fields and a small town nestled between the ridges of two hills. Farther past the town are the apple orchards that give the town it's name.
The largest structure, on the north side of the town, stands a cider house. A small spring flows down from this building through the center of the town.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-16-06, 08:17 AM
"Well I think we should do a quick reconnoiter of the town eh?' Kyle asks as he drops off the back of the wagon and heads towards the cider house licking his lips.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-17-06, 06:20 PM
In response to Kyle's suggestion, Deos nods. "Indeed. Though we should leave at least one rough and tough looking person to watch over the wagon and our supplies. Any volunteers? Would the rest of you like to go and take a look around, and then meet back here in an hour? If so, I'd recommend everyone at least goes in pairs. I'll stick close to the priest of Geoth, if everyone is agreeable."
Assuming everyone is, Deos will trot off and catch up with Kyle.

Deos and Kyle set of to the cider house. While walking through town, Deos and Kyle attract a fair amount of stares, especially Kyle. The men at the cider house ask what merchant company you are from. They offer tastings to merchants, but not to anyone who would be buying for personal use only. The smallest quantity they sell is a 5 gallon barrel (for 8 silver pieces) of cider or a 1 gallon cask of hard cider (for 3 silver pieces). The cider house is built over the spot where an underground stream becomes an above ground stream. The water is extremely pure so the manager tells you and it takes the best water to make the best ciders. (DM license, this is probably not true)
Semabin and Fenwick take a tour of the the town. They also attract some stares. It seems that strangers are noticable since Apple Glade is not really on the way to anywhere. There is a small inn, where traders spend the night when picking up shipments of cider, a small blacksmith shop, for providing horse shoes to traders picking up shipments of cider, and small homes, for housing those who work in the fields or orchard or cutting timber. Not much else to speak of.
OOC: Are the characters asking any specific questions or seeking out any particular types of people?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-18-06, 08:23 AM
Kyle addresses the apparent leader of the cidermen "Why no merchant company my friend, we are not currently enaged in any mercantile exploits" he says a tear seeping from the corner of his eye as he takes a deep breath and smells the pungent odour of brewing cider "We have a much grander sheme a foot my friend" he continues with a satisfied grin "We're on a mission for God, a holy pilgrimage of sorts. I'm a priest of Geoth, now how would you like me to bless your brewery eh? Give it Geoth's blessing for that little bit of added goodness? eh, what do you say my man? I'll do the blessing, I'll need a jug of ale to splash around as I bless of course, and you keep my friend here company" as he finishes Kyle digs into his robes and flourishes his God's holy symbol, a large pendant of a frothing mug on a chain of gold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-18-06, 02:13 PM
"We would appreciate the blessing. Do you have a cask of ale? If not, you'll have to give it a go without."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-19-06, 09:22 AM
"I haven't got any ale I'm afraid my good man but, how about I buy a sample from you?" the dwarf says in a rush, his florid jowls bouncing with each word "The blessing won't be complete without the cider. And I've heard such good things about your brewing prowess. Why, your ale is the talk of the land. Look" the fat dwarf says as he digs into a belt pouch and holds out his pudgy hand, in which is nestled 4 gold coins (covered in flour and spices) "How about it eh?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-20-06, 03:02 PM
"Well, by all means." He presents you with a cask of hard cider, taking a gold piece and returning your change.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-20-06, 03:49 PM
Deos watches the proceedings with a bemused grin on his face. While the priest of Geoth goes about blessing the Ciderworks, Deos steps over to quietly speak to the man Kyle purchased the cider from. "A blessing from a priest of Geoth, a fine thing to be sure. But we do have other business in town. We are looking for an able caravan guard mentioned to us by the proprietor of an inn up the way. Klosterman was the name she mentioned I believe, Karl Klosterman. She said he was quite the local hero. Have you heard of him, or know where we may find him?" Deos carefully guages the man's response.
OOC: Sense Motive +3. I'd inlcude bluff, but Deos isn't lying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-20-06, 04:34 PM
"Yes, I've heard of him. And what would be your business with him?"
Deos believes that he has heard of Klosterman, but that he is not overly eager to talk about him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-20-06, 05:07 PM
"Yes, I've heard of him. And what would be your business with him?"
Deos believes that he has heard of Klosterman, but that he is not overly eager to talk about him.
"Is he as good as we've heard?" Deos asks, and interested look on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-22-06, 03:50 PM
"Oh yes, he's quite good. The best woodsman I ever met. He's been very successful down in the City from what I've heard."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-23-06, 08:28 AM
Kyle walks around the site of the ciderhouse muttering prayers to Geoth and sprinkling equal portions of cider into his mouth and onto the fittings, furnishing and footprint of the building. As he walks he nods and smiles at the other cidermen in greeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-23-06, 04:14 PM
"Oh yes, he's quite good. The best woodsman I ever met. He's been very successful down in the City from what I've heard."
"Excellent! Well, we'd like to discuss some business with him then. Is he in town?" Deos asks while watching the priest of Geoth bless the cider house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-23-06, 04:33 PM
The workers in the cider house return Kyle's smile. A few shake their heads and chuckle quietly. The cider is quite good and also somewhat potent. Kyle begins to feel an accustomed warmth seep through his body.
To Deos, the manager replies, "Well, no, as a matter of fact he is not. What do you wish to hire him for? I'll let him know if I see him."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-24-06, 10:31 AM
Kyle pauses in his ministrations and scans the village trying to see what his other companions are doing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-24-06, 07:31 PM
To Deos, the manager replies, "Well, no, as a matter of fact he is not. What do you wish to hire him for? I'll let him know if I see him."
"Well, our business is our own, as I'm sure you'll understand." Deos grins at the manager. "I believe that we'll likely be staying at your inn here in town for the evening. I'm not sure if we'll be here longer than a day, so hopefully we can meet with him."
Deos hands two gold pieces over to the manager and says, "I thank you for your offer of assistance."
OOC: If Deos needs to use Bluff or Diplomacy, is bonus to both is +0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-25-06, 07:18 PM
Making the two coins disappear, he replies to Deos, "I'll let him know that you stopped by. Um, if I see him."
Scanning the town, Kyle sees a tiny Lupic in the distance, looking bored. Not a single person has tried to give him trouble. Kyle can not see the others.
Semabin: Semabin makes his rounds around the villiage, talking to various people and asking about Karl Klosterman. It appears Klosterman was in town recently, but is not there at the moment. After about half an hour, Semabin notices that he has seen the same man in a brown tunic and dark green cloak several times. The man is now walking away from Semabin, though there is nothing supscious about the manner of his walk.
OOC: What are Deos's and Kyle's next steps?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-25-06, 09:00 PM
Deos makes his way over to the priest of Geoth and asks, "Well Kyle, shall we head back and speak to our companions?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-26-06, 01:02 AM
"Yes friend Deos we should, I have a hankering to provide the cook at the Inn with some of Geoth's money" he says with a grin "It's well past eating time and this fine cider has given me an appetite, well has increased my appetite" with a wave and a nod of appreciation at the cidermen Kyle ambles towards the Inn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-26-06, 04:14 PM
Deos chuckles and wanders over to the Inn. If he can, he tries to get a seat where he can watch the wagon for the arrival of his companions. If not, he'll relax outside the Inn and watch the wagon and town until his companions arrive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-27-06, 08:26 PM
Deos and Kyle meet back up with Lupic and head for the inn. The inn is small, but the large stableyard for keeping wagons and carts reveals that peddlars and merchants make up the bulk of those who frequent the inn. However, there is only one other wagon in the yard today. A stable hand assures them he will take good care of their horses.
Inside, Deos, Kyle, and Lupic find a few patrons eating lunch while taking a midday break from their various chores. The innkeeper, a wide man (though nothing like Kyle) in an apron, welcome's them from behind the bar saying, "Hello! Come in, have a seat. What will it be today gentle- cough, ah, men?" That last stutter being caused by his catching sight of Lupic as he ducks his head to avoid the low handing decorations over the door.
OOC: I'm assuming there was a plan to meet at the inn and that you went ahead and grabbed Lupic. Let me know if that's not ok.
KO, are you still with us?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-27-06, 08:52 PM
OOC: What are Fenwick and Semabin doing?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-27-06, 10:39 PM
(Sorry about that. I'd say Semabin and Fenwick would try to get some local news and gossip before meeting with the others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-27-06, 11:11 PM
OOC: Note a few posts back the spoiler block for Semabin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-27-06, 11:38 PM
Semabin shortly considers talking to the man, but then convinces himself that it must be coincidence. He continues with his plan, but not without taking another look at the man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-28-06, 12:17 AM
Kyle waddles straight up to the fat barkeep digging into his pocket as he goes "Good day, good day" he says effervescently, extending his chubby hand in greeting "By Geoth's Belly I'm starving sir, and I'm quite excited to be in this fine establishment. Here, here" he says as he opens his other hand showing 6 gold coins sitting upon the podgy flesh "Here's a gift from Geoth's purse, and all in exchange for some food and wine for myself, and my friends" the fat dwarf says heartily "It is good to see someone who so proudly shows Geoth's boon" he continues with a smile, looking down at the man's belly and patting his own.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-28-06, 03:47 PM
He pats his own stomach, "Well, I eat my own cooking." Eyeing the coins, the innkeeper says, "You and your friends have better have a healthy appetite." He brings out the inns best wine and a couple trays heaped full of various meats, vegitables, and potato dishes, along with three empty plates. "Enjoy," he says with a smile.
Fenwick and Semabin meet the rest of the party at the inn. Everyone seems to have heard about the same thing, that Karl Klosterman was in town recently, but is no longer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-29-06, 02:23 AM
Kyle looks down at the food, crosses his chest with his fingers and then clutches at his holy symbol "May Geoth bless this food and drink; That we his humble servants eat; Thank you your eminence for the fodder; And, pardon me for the bother." Kyle intones in a deep, booming voice before lifting his eyes and turning to his comrades "Two, Four, Six, Eight, Bog in, Don't wait" he says as he grabs a plate and starts heaping the first course on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-29-06, 04:29 PM
Lupic will join in eating, but carefully to make sure the large man doesn't eat any of his extremities in the frenzy.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-30-06, 07:21 PM
Deos digs in heartily, and between thoughtful mouthfuls of food, he ponders to the group, "It seems to me that we are left with a few possibilities. Either Klosterman is really not in town, or he is, and the people around here are unwilling to say. If he is out of town and is who we are looking for, then obviously we know where he's gone to. In which case we should hurry back to escort our client. Either way, we should ask around a bit more and see if we can find out just where Klosterman has gone."
Deos motions the innkeeper over and asks, "This is truly magnificent food, my good man. At any rate, as you may have heard we are looking for a local man by the name of Karl Klosterman. We've heard that he's quite the skilled caravan guard. Sadly, it would seem that he left town just recently. Do you have any idea of where he might have gone? Or do you know of anyone who might know?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-31-06, 08:19 AM
"Yes, fantastic food good man, where did you do your training? Not in the Halls of Geoth perhaps?" Kyle says to the innkeeper in an attempt to grease his tongue with flattery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-31-06, 10:18 PM
Semabin eats with great appetite and joy, showing only a little more restraint than Kyle, ignoring food he knows being hot (as in pepper). After that ettercap stew, he wants to eat something real now. "I gwss whh" he starts, only to find his mouth full, so he swallows his food first. "What did I want to say? Oh, yeah, I guess we should.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-01-06, 10:43 PM
The innkeeper basks in the glow of everyone's complements.
Not in the Halls of Geoth perhaps?
"No, but I am a devotee none the less."
Do you have any idea of where he might have gone? Or do you know of anyone who might know?
"Well, I saw him two days ago. That's great that you are looking to hire him. He's been a little down on his luck lately." He pauses to gage your reaction.
Just as he pauses, two men walk in the door. One Semabin notices as the one who he kept seeing in town. They take up a seat on the other side of the room. The innkeeper bustles over welcoming them in and calling them by name, though only Kyle catches that their names are Jim and Bert. He retrieves a couple of mugs of ale and drops them back off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu02-02-06, 10:07 PM
"A small town, Apple Glade. That has to be the nth time I've seen that man today." Semabin grins. In a way, this reminds him of Baras, the town the Zephyr lived in when he left. Shortly he wondered if the Zephyr had already swapped places with another tribe, or if they still lived there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-04-06, 09:25 AM
"Well it's either Jim or Bert that you're seeing" Kyle says through mouthfuls of food "Or at least that's what the innkeep called them."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool02-04-06, 06:37 PM
"A small town, Apple Glade. That has to be the nth time I've seen that man today." Semabin grins.
"Hmm," Deos frowns. "That's not an uncommon occurance in a small town, but given what we've been asking around about, we might do well to speak to them. Do any of you wish to do the honors?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-04-06, 10:57 PM
You notice as you sit discussing what to do next that the two men - Jim and Bert - appear to be trying not to look at anything in particular, but their gaze continues to find it's way back to your table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-06-06, 07:28 AM
Kyle turns and notices the two men looking at the party "Ahhh I see you like the look of our spread?" he bellows to the men, indicating the feast laid on the table before the party "Geoth loves to provide so please come and join us with Geoth's blessing" the fat dwarf beckons the two men over with a subtle wink at Deos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-07-06, 09:54 PM
The two men look at eachother, clearly unsure what to do next. After a second passes, one of them stands and walks over to your table, the other quickly following. "Well, we, ah, certainly couldn't turn down such a gracious invitation. I am Jim and this is my friend Bert. I see that you are from out of town. Where do you hail from?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-08-06, 09:46 AM
Kyle beckons to the innkeeper "Two more plates for our new friends" he says as his fat 'cousin' appears from behind the bar "Well most recently we've come from Orussus, you ever visited the place? You should if you can, make an effort to get out there. If you do be sure to visit the kitches of Geoth, some of the finest food you'll ever taste" Looking up as the innkeeper arrives with the empty plates the fat priest continues "Not as good as the food here but a little more variety. You really must give me the recipie for this" he says to the innkeep as he starts to ladle food onto first Jim's and then Bert's plates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-09-06, 03:30 PM
"Yeah, we've been there a time or two. What's the news in Orussus?" The two dig in to the meal before them, taking a moment to chew while awaiting Kyle's response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-10-06, 08:08 AM
Kyle warms into one of his favourite topics other than food, gossip "Well. Where to start? The Widow Brakus is pregnant, now that caused quite a stir that did. Father Kelith has been missing from his parish for almost two weeks. Some say he has gone mad while others suggest he has run off with Goodwife Flet who, as you might have realised, is also missing. Klosterman is said to have turned traitor and assisted bandits in ransacking his charge. A mysterious stranger in scarlet was seen loitering around Lady Helios's mansion and, apparently, there's someone stealing money from the Wishing Well." he looks prepared to say more but stops to take a bite of food and slurp down a drink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-11-06, 06:16 AM
You (all) notice Jim's eyes tighten at the mention of Klosterman. Bert's breath catches in his throat at the same. An awkward silence falls while Kyle takes a bite. After a moment passes, Jim asks, "What was ... that about Mr, ah, Mr. Klosterman?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-15-06, 04:23 PM
*bump*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu02-15-06, 07:45 PM
"Jealous loud-mouth gossip from the street. You know the type. Ne'er-do-wells who think they're tougher than Grendath, faster than Phyrah, and more honorable that Klosterman. And of course, they know exactly what the Orussus City Council should do, but the council is keeping them down." Semabin downs his drink, trying to give the indication that he doesn't believe anything that Kyle just relayed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-16-06, 11:43 PM
Bert says, "Well, you can bet on that. I-".
A muffled stamp is heard from under the table and Jim interrupts Bert, "That's right. I know him and he would never roll over on a commission. You're a good man to not believe those rumors."

). In my table top adventures, I don't like to force the action, instead letting the players feel their way through things and just trying to make the world react when they poke it. Since this is my first play-by-post game, I'm still feeling out how it works. It seems like my style can cause things to drag in play-by-post. Would you prefer a more active style with fewer coversations? Or are you enjoying things as they stand? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

"Welll I don't know if you'd say it was gossip, it's from some pretty reliable sources after all" the fat dwarf priest says "Now I don't believe some of the other things they say about this Klosterman, dabbling in black arts, sacrificing children, consorting with demons and devils but the story of him turning bandit has the ring of truth about it. Mind you, I don't know the man and as long as he doesn't rob me who am I to say what he should or shouldn't do. More food?" he asks the two men.

I'm happy with the role playing but I'm not sure if we might not have lost a couple of players. I feel like Kyle has been hogging the spotlight a little so delayed responding to Jim to give the others an opportunity to comment.

Jim and Bert accept Kyle's offer of more food, but leave it untouched as they watch for Kyle's response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-18-06, 10:37 PM
"Well, like I said I don't know this man and have only heard the rumours. I'd be happy to be set straight by someone who did know the man, perhaps he does have integrity, perhaps not?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-19-06, 11:54 PM
Bert again opens his mouth to speak, but a subtle (or not so subtle) elbow from Jim quiets him. "Is that why you are in Apple Glade? Looking for Klosterman?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-20-06, 09:28 AM
"I came to test the cider that I had heard so much about, and I must say it lives up to its reputation. Why do you ask? Does Klosterman reside in Apple Glade? If so then you might be able to explain away his actions and I can return to Orussus and set these rumour mongers to rights"

"Well... no, he doesn't live here. This guy's (gesturing to Semabin) has the right of it though. I've worked with him in the past and he is a good an honorable man."
Kyle and Semabin both get the feeling that he is leaving something out.

Seems like the fair and honourable thing to do if he is as upstanding a citizen as you suggest" as Kyle speaks he ladles food onto the plates of the two townsmen all the time casually watching their body language and smiling and nodding in an amicable and friendly manner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-23-06, 07:13 PM
Bert says, somewhat softly, "So you are looking for him."
At the same time, Jim talks over him and says, "Well, I don't know where the rumors started. Ehm, and I certainly don't know where Klosterman is."
With that, he drags Bert to his feet and says stiffly, "We'll need to be going now."
OOC: At this point, they are standing up but have not yet left the inn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu02-23-06, 07:28 PM
"I'd have loved to talk with Klosterman at some point, and since we were here anyway... but since he isn't here, I guess I'm out of luck."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-26-06, 01:06 AM
"Um, yep, guess so. Bye," as they walk off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-26-06, 01:14 AM
As the men leaves Kyle reaches for their plates and removes the freshly ladled food "Well no skin off my nose whether I find him or not, I was just going to do the bloke a favour and help clear his name. Say, why don't you let him know about this rumour doing the rounds" the fat dwarf priest calls out "that way I can get on with doing something important instead of trying to be helpful to a total stranger"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-27-06, 09:12 PM
The two men continue out the door.
OOC: What's next?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-28-06, 08:53 AM
Kyle leans across the table and whispers to his companions "OK, who wants to follow them? They may very well know where Klosterman is and go and warn him that people are sniffing around" the dwarf takes a long pull from his ale and then continues "Unfortunately sneaking and hiding is not my area of expertise so I'd best stay here and finish this off" the last said with a sweep of his hand over the food and drink still resting on the table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Best I not go, me kind of easy to remember and see" responds Lupic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-02-06, 04:18 AM
"I'm not exactly adept at skulking in the shadows," Deos says, "But we should make haste with whatever we plan to do. We'll need to leave town today or tomorrow if we are going to make it to the ransom location in time."
Deos glances at Fenwick and Semabin. "Do either of you feel up to the task of following these men?" His eyes scan over his companions before landing on the hulking form of Lupic, "Or should we try more ... immediate methods of persuasion?"

"Huh? I guess I could follow them, but probably not unnoticed... Fenwick?"
(That would be alot easier if he was still with us...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-02-06, 08:26 PM
Fenwick responds, "Well, I might fair a bit better than some of you, but I'm not the greatest sneak in the world either. I can give it a try, but if they spotted me I might be in a heap of trouble."
OOC: Fenwick is not actually trained in Hide or Move Silently or Spot. He gets a few bonuses for being small, but is not particularly adept at stealth. Too bad this group couldn't pair up with the Dance of Souls crowd.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-02-06, 11:12 PM
"Aren't you small folks all good at that sort of thing? At least that's what I heard...?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-02-06, 11:37 PM
"Better than most big people, but only a little and now's no time to discuss it. Should we follow by stealth or use *gulp* more expedient means?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-03-06, 02:51 AM
"Well, at the risk of making ourselves unwelcome in this town, I think that a more expedient means is preferrable, given that that is where the talent of our group lies. Besides, I'll take the safety of a child over the friendship of a town any day." With that, Deos gets to his feet with an uncharacteristicly grim expression. "If we are agreed, then I suggest that Lupic do the honors."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-03-06, 03:25 AM
The party steps outside and sees Burt and Jim 80 feet down the street. They are walking quickly, but not running.
OOC: So is everyone running out to catch up and Lupic will charge and knock one of them out without saying a word? Are you going to threaten them first? Everyone hangs back except for Lupic? Go ahead and roll initiative with your next post.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-03-06, 07:08 AM
Kyle grabs what food he can and stuffs it in his backpack, picks up a half empty bottle of wine, drops another gold coin on the table and nods a hearty farewell to the Innkeeper "Geoth's blessing upon your house good sir. A fine table you set. I'll be back sometime" with that he casually saunters out the door, following slowly in his friends wake.

Unless someone suggests otherwise, the Lupic trigger has been pulled and he's going to get one of them, without and prior steps. If instructed, he will attempt to intimidate instead.
I don't recall the rolling mechanism again, so if you could take care of that I'd appreciate it.

Initiatives:
Initiative: Semabin, Fenwick, Deos, Kyle, Lupic (1d20+3=14, 1d20+2=6, 1d20+0=10, 1d20-1=7, 1d20+2=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=379207)
Semabin: 14
Deos: 10
Kyle: 7
Fenwick: 6
Lupic: 3
Jim and Bert do not appear to have noticed you step out of the inn.
OOC: I am officially confused on how armor spikes work in a grapple. The armor spikes description says they deal "extra piercing damage" in a grapple. So does the 1d6 replace the 1d3 a normal person does or is it 1d3 non-lethal and 1d6 lethal piercing? If no one knows, I'll go with replaces. Second question, can you make a non-lethal grapple while in spiked armor? I'll say yes (with 1d3 base damage) if no one knows. I also noticed there was no healing performed at the end of the ettercap combat, but Kyle had plenty of spells so I will assume everyone is fully healed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-06-06, 10:40 AM
As Kyle steps out onto the porch he notices that Lupic is looking riled up "Information Lupic, not blood - OK? he calls as quielty as he can, trying not to alert the two men to the parties presence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Kyle steps out onto the porch he notices that Lupic is looking riled up "Information Lupic, not blood - OK? he calls as quielty as he can, trying not to alert the two men to the parties presence.
"Urr, yes, me not kill, just make agreeable" responds Lupic quietly before he rushes one of them into a grapple.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-07-06, 01:29 AM
Upon exiting, Jim and Bert began walking down the main town road. The party hustles after them and manages to close nearly half the distance when Jim happens to glance back. He slightly stumbles and bumps into Bert causing them to react slowly to the situation. Unfortunatly, Lupic catches a loose cobblestone just as he is getting ready to sprint in for the tackle.
OOC: Initiative 7 for Jim and 5 for Bert. Above is just IC explaination for initiatives. Semabin, Deos, and Kyle notice that Lupic is not going to have time to close before Jim and Bert get to act. Actions?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-07-06, 08:43 AM
Knowing that he stands no chance of catching the two men, and not forgetting the fact that running is undignified for a priest of Geoth, Kyle calls out to the men as they turn "I apologise for following you but it seems that my hulking brute of a friend over here" he waves a hand at Lupic "Wants to have a chat, I told him he had ample opportunity over lunch but, well, you know barbarians" he finishes with a smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard03-07-06, 02:01 PM
"I think you lie to me little man. I don't like when I am lied to. You want to talk again or do I have to not talk with you? People not like it when I stop talking. "
We'll try that as an intimidate check.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-09-06, 02:37 AM
Jim and Bert pause for a moment at Kyle's words, but at Lupic's words, they decide their best chance is to high tail it out of here. They are clearly intimidated, but probably not reacting quite the way Lupic had hoped (failed intimidate roll).
Lupic, Kyle, and Fenwick are quickly left behind assuming that you chase after them.
OOC: Basically, everyone delayed until Lupic's turn and so we are back to the top of the initiative order. Jim and Bert are 50 ft away and about to take off running, but since they paused that will not happen until their initiative since they paused to hear what the party was saying. You can run at times x4 speed for # of rounds equal to constitution. Semabin and Deos have a chance to close or cast a spell before Jim and Bert move. What do they do?

"Wait! We are simply here to get the little girl Klosterman kidnapped back. Without bloodshed, if possible."
OOC: Sadly, in Deos' case, he does very little. There's no reason to apply lethal force (we don't know just how they are involved), and Deos didn't memorize Charm Person today...
Diplomacy +0 maybe?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-09-06, 11:22 AM
Kyle waddles along behind the rest of the group as they follow the two men down the road "Nothing to see here" he says to the crowds of villagers that start to gather and watch the bizarre procession "Just a simple misunderstanding. I'm sure there won't be any real trouble, they're all sensible lads"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-09-06, 03:00 PM
The two continue running without even a start at Deos's words, giving the impression that this newest bit of news may not have been entirely unknown to them.
Fortunately for the party, there is actually little commotion. It is long enough since lunch that most the villiagers have returned to the fields. There are a few faces in windows and a couple doors open to see what the yelling is about, but not the great crowds one might expect in a larger town.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-09-06, 09:46 PM

Semabin will try to catch them, and grapple one of them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-09-06, 10:09 PM
Semabin immediately charges forward and tries to tackle Jim.
touch attack, opposed grapple (1d20+4=13, 1d20+3=14, 1d20+1=21) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=383867)
He is unable to get a good hold on Jim. He tries to grab again (attack of opportunity) as Jim flees, but is unable to catch him.
touch attack, opposed grapple (1d20+4=5, 1d20+3=19, 1d20+1=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=383868)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-10-06, 05:17 AM
Deos will simply try to keep pace, and see if he can discover where they are running to. (assuming they are not just running off in a blind panic). Seeing Semabin's approach, and if the opportunity presents itself, he will try to grab ahold of one of them, as he's never tried grappling someone before (melee touch +0, grapple +0). If he is allowed any attacks of opportunity, he will make them as unarmed trip attempts (melee touch +0, +0 strength modifier).

[SBLOCK]
IcyCool12-29-05, 07:25 PM
Deos nods his head in agreement with Lupic. "We should be off, my friends." He turns to Debra, "Thank you for your delightful hospitality, dear lady. May the blessings of the gods be upon you." At that, he returns to the wagon, eager to head out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu12-29-05, 08:23 PM
"Indeed we should." Semabin then turns to Debra and says "May the winds spread the stories of your hospitality and of your splendid meals."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar12-29-05, 08:46 PM
At Kyle's request, she sends for a small basket of rolls, really just enough for a snack on the way. "Here you are. Have a safe journey and stop by on your way back. You will know the turn to Apple Glade by a large old oak on the east side of the road. Take the path east and its another 10 miles or so."
The party sets off, full from an excellent noon meal. They pass a small wood to the north east of the road. The road grows steadily more hilly and the surroundings more wooded. The sun is nearly to the horizon when the party spots the large oak that Debra spoke of. A dirt trail continues past the oak to the north east, just barely wide enough for the party's cart. The winding trail will not slow down their overland travel, but if they have to run for it, they may have to abandon the cart as the path is winding and trees grow up near the trail on both sides.
A small wood sign is planted on the side of the path. Its old and the painted message is almost completely worn out. The group can only decipher a few bits of it.
Ap..e Gla..0 m..es
B..are of t..te..ap.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool12-29-05, 10:03 PM
Deos squints at the sign and sighs. "Keep your eyes peeled everyone, we might be in for some trouble."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu12-29-05, 10:07 PM
"Nah, I don't think so. The sign's so old, whatever that dangre might have been, it should be gone by now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza12-29-05, 11:23 PM
Feeling a little apprehensive after seeing the sign, and with the country ride feel of the venture seeming to have gone from the air, Kyle seeks solace in the rolls provided by Debra, absentmindedly chewing while he watches the trees for any sign of ambush.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool12-30-05, 05:04 PM
"Nah, I don't think so. The sign's so old, whatever that dangre might have been, it should be gone by now.
"Perhaps you are right, good Semabin. At any rate, given what we are suspecting Klosterman of, caution would still serve us best." Deos urges the group to continue forward, and he carefully examines their surroundings as they progress along.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar12-31-05, 10:19 PM
The group makes another mile or two before the sun completes it's descent. The group guesses it is another 8 miles to Apple Glade. Do they press on or make camp? If making camp, is the group looking for anything in particular for a campsite?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-01-06, 12:17 AM
"How are we placed for light sources? Not that I need one, I can see quite well in the dark, all those carrots I eat" the dwarf says with a grin "Perhaps if we set up a couple of lanterns on the wagon we could push on to Apple Glade?" Kyle suggests.

While Semabin isn't quite sure about Kyle's ability to see in the dark, he thinks pressing on in the dark is exciting!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-03-06, 05:22 PM
"Well, if we are going to press on ahead in the dark, I'm going to get a little rest in the back of the wagon. I'd recommend that we light a few torches and hand them out to those who can't see in the dark."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-04-06, 12:53 AM
Deos retires to the wagon, while Semabin and Fenwick light (let me know if either of you would rather not light torches and I will edit accordingly). Semabin impatiently leads the way, peering into the darkness passed where his torch shines. Fenwick is right behind him while Lupic brings up the rear (again, let me know if you'd like it different).
A half hour passed after the sun has set, trees closing in around the narrow path.
Fenwick:
Thanks to his low-light vision, Fenwick notices a tree branch move and for just a moment sees a shadowy form disappear into the night around 20 paces away to the right side of the road.
DM notes to self:
Char: Listen: Spot:
Semabin -1 -1
Fenwick +4 +0
Lupic +0 +0
Kyle +3 +3

OOC: Is Findlefarb still with us? He hasn't been seen since 12-24. If he does not post by tomorrow (Wednesday) night, assume reveals the information in the first SBLOCK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-04-06, 11:27 AM
Kyle sits in the back of the wagon, his eyes staring into the darkness trying to detect any sign of ambush, his ears straining to hear any noise over the creak of the wagon and the jingling of the tack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-05-06, 12:42 AM
Lupic will simply ride along and wait for something to happen. He considers himself generally capable of dealing with whatever will happen. That fine line between bravery and stupidity and all that.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-05-06, 06:52 PM
Fenwick points into the darkness. "A shape moved over there." No one else sees what he is pointing at. "It looked like it moved away."
Do you continue on, investigate where Fenwick is pointing, or something else?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-05-06, 09:02 PM
Deos scans the darkness, trying to see any moving shapes. Not seeing anything, he says, "We should investigate." More quietly, he whispers to his companions, "It might be bandits, be careful."
Having said that, Deos moves his hands over his forearms and intones, in auran, "Shohoneth halthey."
Then he loads his crossbow.
OOC: Deos casts Mage Armor, and then loads his crossbow, keeping an eye on the spot that Fenwick pointed to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-05-06, 10:25 PM
Semabin looks where Fenwick pointed. Not seeing anything (presumably), he says "Might just be an animal startled by our approach, but I'll take a look regardless."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-06-06, 02:26 PM
"Does this mean I get to hit someone?" Lupic asks eagerly.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-06-06, 03:55 PM
Tying the cart horses quickly to a tree, Lupic and Semabin lead the rest into the trees to the right of the road (where Fenwick pointed).
No one sees or hears anything (low rolls) until a giant spider web flies from the darkness 10 paces ahead, but unfolds too quickly just as a breeze picks up and falls short of entangling Lupic.
The enemy wastes no time mourning it's failed attempt to ensnare Lupic and throws another tangled mess at Deos, entangling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) and anchoring the poor man in place. Chittering, the man-sized, bipedal spider-like creature runs deeper into the forest.
Initiative:
Enemy (18)
Semabin (16)
Lupick (9)
Fenwick (4)
Deos (1)
Kyle (1)
OOC Notes:
Touch attack on first web missed.
enemy, Semabin, Fenwick, Lupic, Deos, Kyle (1d20+3=18, 1d20+3=16, 1d20+2=4, 1d20+2=9, 1d20+0=1, 1d20-1=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329208)
Touch attack on second web hit. Escape Artist or Strength check to escape.
Enemy has full concealment at the moment to those without darkvision, but the character know the direction so a torch bearer can move toward it and bring it back into everyone's view.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-06-06, 04:48 PM
If the enemy is close enough to get to and attack, I will. If not I will assist in getting Deos out of the web.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-06-06, 07:21 PM
Deos, thiniking that they might find a bandit, is totally unprepared for the spider. "What the ..." He says, right before becoming ensnared in the sticky mass of web.
He is frozen for a moment in horror, and then begins wracking his brain to try and figure out just what that thing was as he attempts to slip out of the web.
OOC: Escape Artist +0, if you please. Also, Knowledge Arcana +11 or Knowledge History +4, in an attempt to figure out what the beast was. Ettercap, or just monstrous spider? Notable weaknesses? Notable Defenses?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-06-06, 07:38 PM
Lupic steps toward Deos and the webs and easily (1d20+7=18, 1d3+5=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329351) tear the webs free from Deos. Deos is unentangled by his turn.
OOC: Lupic is not close enough to attack since his speed is reduced by armor. Does he wish to attack or grapple? Deos does not recall anything regarding this type of creature, his studies focusing in other areas. Spider's are Knowledge (nature) and Ettercaps are aberrations, which is Knowledge (dungeoneering). The last seems inappropriate so I'd say it also falls under nature as well. And feel free to make any rolls on invisible castle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-06-06, 07:47 PM
Semabin puts his torch in the off-hand, draws his first scimitar and follows the creature.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard01-06-06, 08:25 PM
If the creature comes close Lupic will move to grapple. (as a rule his attacks are always going to start with instigating a grapple, then using the armor spikes to do damage).
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-06-06, 09:27 PM
"Good work my large friend!" Deos says. He scans the darkness for the creature, and, if he can see it, takes a shot with his crossbow before giving chase with the rest of his companions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-06-06, 10:13 PM
Kyle pulls his skillet from his backpack and cautiously moves after the others "My god" he says as he catches a look at the monstrosity with his darkvision "That thing would go well in a stew, a couple of hours on slow boil to tenderise and I believe you would have an incredible dish"
OOC:Apologies, just realised I don't have any spells selected. I'll add them to the PC sheet but won't use anything in this encounter bar healing if necessary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-07-06, 12:21 AM
Round 1:
Semabin rushes forward drawing his weapon. (If he prefers to charge he can attack the enemy this round)
Lupic pulls the webs from Deos.
Fenwick(NPCed) begins singing an inspiring song about removing creepy-crawlies from under teh bed. Inspire Courage for +1 to attack and damage.
Deos sees the beast, now illuminated by Semabin's torch. He fires his crossbow(1d20=14, 1d8=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329558), but misses due to concern avoiding Semabin.
Kyle draws his skillet and moves forward
Beginning of Round 2:
The creature attacks (1d20+5=24, 1d8+2=4, 1d20+3=4, 1d3+1=4, 1d20+3=6, 1d3+1=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329566) Semabin, sinking it's teeth into the warrior while it's claws find only the air. Semabin hit for 4 damage. He feels poison burn in the wound, but his body fights (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=329569) off the effects.

IcyCool01-07-06, 12:38 AM
Deos sees the shadowy form of the creature. When Semabin's torch reveals it, his shock at its appearance makes his shot go wide. Losing only the briefest of moments, Deos chants out "Shey thohulayem!" And a brilliant blue arrow of force streaks out from his hand and crashes into the creatures chitinous hide.

OOC: Deos fired his crossbow and then moved forward 30 feet. Lupic had to move to get to Deos to remove the webs so was not able to move closer to the enemy last round. I should have put a map up right away. I'll do that next time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-07-06, 08:05 PM
"Eeew. Anyone ever told you how ugly you are?!" Semabin shouts as he sees the creature in its "full glory"
He attempts to tumble around the creature so it is between himself and his companions, and slashes at the creature afterwards.
Move 15 feet (2 squares diagonally) to get to the opposite side of the creature; tumble attempt to avoid AOO, then attack.
Tumble, Attack, Damage if hit. (1d20+4=10, 1d20+4=20, 1d6+1=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330119) - Failure on tumble, so he provokes AoO.

Round 2 continues
Semabin (16) - 4 damage
Lupic (9)
Fenwick (4)
Deos (1)
Kyle (1)
Semabin whirls around the enemy, deftly dodging the fangs of the beast (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330598), and slashing at its back.
Fenwick, seeing the situation is nearly under control, continues his song and remains where he is.
Lupic charges to tackle (1d20+9=24, 1d3+5=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330604) the enemy and succeeds in pulling the opponent into his grasp. (1d20+11=29, 1d20+5=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330610)
Deos casts his spell, eliciting louder and more frantic chittering from the monstrosity.
Kyle moves up near the fight, skillet in hand.
Round 3 begins
Enemy (18) - 15 damage
The creature makes a desparate (1d20+1=14, 1d8+2=9, 1d20-1=15, 1d3+1=2, 1d20-1=0, 1d3+1=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=330615) at the strong half-orc holding him. Though impeeded by Lupic's grapple, the charge left him just open enough to feel the rake of one claw (2 damage).
OOC: Knight, you forgot the +1/+1 from Fenwick's song. I also forgot to include it in Lupic's rolls, but it is included in the damage tally.
Is Lupic dealing lethal or non-lethal damage?

Is Lupic dealing lethal or non-lethal damage?
Well this is some kind of monstrosity that he's never seen before, so unless instructed otherwise, he's trying to kill it. Plus it did just draw blood, so it has it comming.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-10-06, 07:05 PM
Semabin strikes at the creature again, and, if the creature is still alive, looks to securely plant the torch so he has his hand free for his second scimitar (Semabin might also simply drop the torch if he thinks it is not a bad idea (Wis 8), and draw his second scimitar right away).
Attack roll; damage if hit. Includes song bonus (1d20+5=14, 1d6+2=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=332503)
I'm assuming a move action to plant the torch.

Seeing that Lupic has the creature in its grasp, he moves forward while reloading his crossbow and watching the creature intently. "Fascinating ... " he mutters.

Round 3 continued:
Semabin slices into the creature's carapice, eliciting a strange sounding shriek. However, the shriek is not a death rattle so he drops the torch and draws his second scimitar.
Lupic grips the creature in his powerful arms, bearhugging it into the spikes on his armor.grapple to damage (1d20+11=31, 1d20+5=6, 1d6+6=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=332826). The creature goes limp.
End combat
After getting a good look at the nasty creature, Fenwick recalls, "I think I may have heard of these. An ettercap I think it is called."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-11-06, 08:38 AM
"Well it's a deadercap now" Kyle quips, overjoyed that his first real adventure has been a success. Turning to Fenwick he asks "These things don't hapen to hunt in packs do they?" he then starts eyeing the surrounding scrub and trees looking for any more enemies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-11-06, 01:34 PM
"Well, I don't really know. I don't think so. Best to stay alert though."

"Well, I don't really know. I don't think so. Best to stay alert though."
"Yes, nasty thing. It make me look pretty, and that take a lot of ugly. "
Responds Lupic as he finds some leaves to wipe the gore from his armor spikes.

IcyCool01-11-06, 03:39 PM
Deos lets his gaze linger on the ettercap, his mind racing in an attempt to memorize every detail. Finally, he shakes his head, "We had best decide whether we want to camp for the evening or continue onward."

SlagMortar01-11-06, 03:47 PM
As the adrenalin rush of combat fades from your bodies, you note that weariness is beginning to set in after a long day on the road. (Continuing on risks nonlethal damage) You estimate it is another 3-4 hours to Apple Glade.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-11-06, 04:38 PM
Semabin pokes the creature with a scimitar to make sure the creature is actually dead, the puts away the scimitars and retrieves the torch. "Too bad, I had hoped I'd get some practice. Addercap? Strange, it doesn't look like either adder or cap..."
OOC: Secondary poison save for Semabin?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-11-06, 05:04 PM
The poison in Semabin's shoulder continues to burn, but the young man is healthy as a horse. He continues to fight it off.
OOC: Thanks. I thought that if you succeeded on the first save that you did not have for the secondary damage, but I was mistaken. secondary save (1d20+5=21, 2d6=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=333086)

D20Dazza01-12-06, 09:35 AM
"So if we're staying here who wants to try some Ettercap stew?" Kyle asks of his companions "I'm sure I can find some edible bits, someone start a fire and the others strike camp while I see what I can do with this" with that Kyle bends down next to the still warm body "Anyone got a knife I can borrow I seem t have left mine behind, oh and we'll need some water and if any of you have any woodlore about you why don't you see if you can dig up some herbs"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd say we camp off the road. It would be impolite to dig a firepit in a road.

Semabin looks at Kyle in disbelief. "You want to eat that... ugly thing?! I don't think it is really edible. Besides, its bite burned a bit, and I'm not eating anything that burns me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-13-06, 02:32 AM

The group camps near the road, but a little off to the side, building a fire. Kyle tugs and drags the ettercap's body over near the fire. The body is close to six feet high and weighs nearly 200 pounds. He is red faced, his great lungs working like a bellows, and an ache has developed in his lower back, but at last the task is done, and the real work begins. With such large prey, he is able to select (1d20+5=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334749) only the best bits and in no time has a brackish stew. It smells surprisingly good though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-14-06, 06:16 AM
"Come on, come on, sit down and eat" Kyle says as he pulls some simple tin plates from beneath the seat of the cart. "We should set a watch tonight in case any more of those creatures come around"

Deos hesitantly sits and accepts his meal from Kyle. He delays only a moment, though, before hungrily digging in.

The meal is thick and pungent, but an enjoyable flavor for those who are not too picky. The night passes without incident and the party is back on the road shortly after sunrise. They pass a bend in the path just before mid-day the woods end abruptly in cleared fields and a small town nestled between the ridges of two hills. Farther past the town are the apple orchards that give the town it's name.
The largest structure, on the north side of the town, stands a cider house. A small spring flows down from this building through the center of the town.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-16-06, 08:17 AM
"Well I think we should do a quick reconnoiter of the town eh?' Kyle asks as he drops off the back of the wagon and heads towards the cider house licking his lips.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-17-06, 06:20 PM
In response to Kyle's suggestion, Deos nods. "Indeed. Though we should leave at least one rough and tough looking person to watch over the wagon and our supplies. Any volunteers? Would the rest of you like to go and take a look around, and then meet back here in an hour? If so, I'd recommend everyone at least goes in pairs. I'll stick close to the priest of Geoth, if everyone is agreeable."
Assuming everyone is, Deos will trot off and catch up with Kyle.

Deos and Kyle set of to the cider house. While walking through town, Deos and Kyle attract a fair amount of stares, especially Kyle. The men at the cider house ask what merchant company you are from. They offer tastings to merchants, but not to anyone who would be buying for personal use only. The smallest quantity they sell is a 5 gallon barrel (for 8 silver pieces) of cider or a 1 gallon cask of hard cider (for 3 silver pieces). The cider house is built over the spot where an underground stream becomes an above ground stream. The water is extremely pure so the manager tells you and it takes the best water to make the best ciders. (DM license, this is probably not true)
Semabin and Fenwick take a tour of the the town. They also attract some stares. It seems that strangers are noticable since Apple Glade is not really on the way to anywhere. There is a small inn, where traders spend the night when picking up shipments of cider, a small blacksmith shop, for providing horse shoes to traders picking up shipments of cider, and small homes, for housing those who work in the fields or orchard or cutting timber. Not much else to speak of.
OOC: Are the characters asking any specific questions or seeking out any particular types of people?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-18-06, 08:23 AM
Kyle addresses the apparent leader of the cidermen "Why no merchant company my friend, we are not currently enaged in any mercantile exploits" he says a tear seeping from the corner of his eye as he takes a deep breath and smells the pungent odour of brewing cider "We have a much grander sheme a foot my friend" he continues with a satisfied grin "We're on a mission for God, a holy pilgrimage of sorts. I'm a priest of Geoth, now how would you like me to bless your brewery eh? Give it Geoth's blessing for that little bit of added goodness? eh, what do you say my man? I'll do the blessing, I'll need a jug of ale to splash around as I bless of course, and you keep my friend here company" as he finishes Kyle digs into his robes and flourishes his God's holy symbol, a large pendant of a frothing mug on a chain of gold.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-18-06, 02:13 PM
"We would appreciate the blessing. Do you have a cask of ale? If not, you'll have to give it a go without."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-19-06, 09:22 AM
"I haven't got any ale I'm afraid my good man but, how about I buy a sample from you?" the dwarf says in a rush, his florid jowls bouncing with each word "The blessing won't be complete without the cider. And I've heard such good things about your brewing prowess. Why, your ale is the talk of the land. Look" the fat dwarf says as he digs into a belt pouch and holds out his pudgy hand, in which is nestled 4 gold coins (covered in flour and spices) "How about it eh?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-20-06, 03:02 PM
"Well, by all means." He presents you with a cask of hard cider, taking a gold piece and returning your change.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-20-06, 03:49 PM
Deos watches the proceedings with a bemused grin on his face. While the priest of Geoth goes about blessing the Ciderworks, Deos steps over to quietly speak to the man Kyle purchased the cider from. "A blessing from a priest of Geoth, a fine thing to be sure. But we do have other business in town. We are looking for an able caravan guard mentioned to us by the proprietor of an inn up the way. Klosterman was the name she mentioned I believe, Karl Klosterman. She said he was quite the local hero. Have you heard of him, or know where we may find him?" Deos carefully guages the man's response.
OOC: Sense Motive +3. I'd inlcude bluff, but Deos isn't lying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-20-06, 04:34 PM
"Yes, I've heard of him. And what would be your business with him?"
Deos believes that he has heard of Klosterman, but that he is not overly eager to talk about him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-20-06, 05:07 PM
"Yes, I've heard of him. And what would be your business with him?"
Deos believes that he has heard of Klosterman, but that he is not overly eager to talk about him.
"Is he as good as we've heard?" Deos asks, and interested look on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-22-06, 03:50 PM
"Oh yes, he's quite good. The best woodsman I ever met. He's been very successful down in the City from what I've heard."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-23-06, 08:28 AM
Kyle walks around the site of the ciderhouse muttering prayers to Geoth and sprinkling equal portions of cider into his mouth and onto the fittings, furnishing and footprint of the building. As he walks he nods and smiles at the other cidermen in greeting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-23-06, 04:14 PM
"Oh yes, he's quite good. The best woodsman I ever met. He's been very successful down in the City from what I've heard."
"Excellent! Well, we'd like to discuss some business with him then. Is he in town?" Deos asks while watching the priest of Geoth bless the cider house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-23-06, 04:33 PM
The workers in the cider house return Kyle's smile. A few shake their heads and chuckle quietly. The cider is quite good and also somewhat potent. Kyle begins to feel an accustomed warmth seep through his body.
To Deos, the manager replies, "Well, no, as a matter of fact he is not. What do you wish to hire him for? I'll let him know if I see him."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-24-06, 10:31 AM
Kyle pauses in his ministrations and scans the village trying to see what his other companions are doing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-24-06, 07:31 PM
To Deos, the manager replies, "Well, no, as a matter of fact he is not. What do you wish to hire him for? I'll let him know if I see him."
"Well, our business is our own, as I'm sure you'll understand." Deos grins at the manager. "I believe that we'll likely be staying at your inn here in town for the evening. I'm not sure if we'll be here longer than a day, so hopefully we can meet with him."
Deos hands two gold pieces over to the manager and says, "I thank you for your offer of assistance."
OOC: If Deos needs to use Bluff or Diplomacy, is bonus to both is +0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-25-06, 07:18 PM
Making the two coins disappear, he replies to Deos, "I'll let him know that you stopped by. Um, if I see him."
Scanning the town, Kyle sees a tiny Lupic in the distance, looking bored. Not a single person has tried to give him trouble. Kyle can not see the others.
Semabin: Semabin makes his rounds around the villiage, talking to various people and asking about Karl Klosterman. It appears Klosterman was in town recently, but is not there at the moment. After about half an hour, Semabin notices that he has seen the same man in a brown tunic and dark green cloak several times. The man is now walking away from Semabin, though there is nothing supscious about the manner of his walk.
OOC: What are Deos's and Kyle's next steps?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-25-06, 09:00 PM
Deos makes his way over to the priest of Geoth and asks, "Well Kyle, shall we head back and speak to our companions?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-26-06, 01:02 AM
"Yes friend Deos we should, I have a hankering to provide the cook at the Inn with some of Geoth's money" he says with a grin "It's well past eating time and this fine cider has given me an appetite, well has increased my appetite" with a wave and a nod of appreciation at the cidermen Kyle ambles towards the Inn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-26-06, 04:14 PM
Deos chuckles and wanders over to the Inn. If he can, he tries to get a seat where he can watch the wagon for the arrival of his companions. If not, he'll relax outside the Inn and watch the wagon and town until his companions arrive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar01-27-06, 08:26 PM
Deos and Kyle meet back up with Lupic and head for the inn. The inn is small, but the large stableyard for keeping wagons and carts reveals that peddlars and merchants make up the bulk of those who frequent the inn. However, there is only one other wagon in the yard today. A stable hand assures them he will take good care of their horses.
Inside, Deos, Kyle, and Lupic find a few patrons eating lunch while taking a midday break from their various chores. The innkeeper, a wide man (though nothing like Kyle) in an apron, welcome's them from behind the bar saying, "Hello! Come in, have a seat. What will it be today gentle- cough, ah, men?" That last stutter being caused by his catching sight of Lupic as he ducks his head to avoid the low handing decorations over the door.
OOC: I'm assuming there was a plan to meet at the inn and that you went ahead and grabbed Lupic. Let me know if that's not ok.
KO, are you still with us?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Note a few posts back the spoiler block for Semabin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Semabin shortly considers talking to the man, but then convinces himself that it must be coincidence. He continues with his plan, but not without taking another look at the man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-28-06, 12:17 AM
Kyle waddles straight up to the fat barkeep digging into his pocket as he goes "Good day, good day" he says effervescently, extending his chubby hand in greeting "By Geoth's Belly I'm starving sir, and I'm quite excited to be in this fine establishment. Here, here" he says as he opens his other hand showing 6 gold coins sitting upon the podgy flesh "Here's a gift from Geoth's purse, and all in exchange for some food and wine for myself, and my friends" the fat dwarf says heartily "It is good to see someone who so proudly shows Geoth's boon" he continues with a smile, looking down at the man's belly and patting his own.

SlagMortar01-28-06, 03:47 PM
He pats his own stomach, "Well, I eat my own cooking." Eyeing the coins, the innkeeper says, "You and your friends have better have a healthy appetite." He brings out the inns best wine and a couple trays heaped full of various meats, vegitables, and potato dishes, along with three empty plates. "Enjoy," he says with a smile.
Fenwick and Semabin meet the rest of the party at the inn. Everyone seems to have heard about the same thing, that Karl Klosterman was in town recently, but is no longer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-29-06, 02:23 AM
Kyle looks down at the food, crosses his chest with his fingers and then clutches at his holy symbol "May Geoth bless this food and drink; That we his humble servants eat; Thank you your eminence for the fodder; And, pardon me for the bother." Kyle intones in a deep, booming voice before lifting his eyes and turning to his comrades "Two, Four, Six, Eight, Bog in, Don't wait" he says as he grabs a plate and starts heaping the first course on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lupic will join in eating, but carefully to make sure the large man doesn't eat any of his extremities in the frenzy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool01-30-06, 07:21 PM
Deos digs in heartily, and between thoughtful mouthfuls of food, he ponders to the group, "It seems to me that we are left with a few possibilities. Either Klosterman is really not in town, or he is, and the people around here are unwilling to say. If he is out of town and is who we are looking for, then obviously we know where he's gone to. In which case we should hurry back to escort our client. Either way, we should ask around a bit more and see if we can find out just where Klosterman has gone."
Deos motions the innkeeper over and asks, "This is truly magnificent food, my good man. At any rate, as you may have heard we are looking for a local man by the name of Karl Klosterman. We've heard that he's quite the skilled caravan guard. Sadly, it would seem that he left town just recently. Do you have any idea of where he might have gone? Or do you know of anyone who might know?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza01-31-06, 08:19 AM
"Yes, fantastic food good man, where did you do your training? Not in the Halls of Geoth perhaps?" Kyle says to the innkeeper in an attempt to grease his tongue with flattery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu01-31-06, 10:18 PM
Semabin eats with great appetite and joy, showing only a little more restraint than Kyle, ignoring food he knows being hot (as in pepper). After that ettercap stew, he wants to eat something real now. "I gwss whh" he starts, only to find his mouth full, so he swallows his food first. "What did I want to say? Oh, yeah, I guess we should.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-01-06, 10:43 PM
The innkeeper basks in the glow of everyone's complements.
Not in the Halls of Geoth perhaps?
"No, but I am a devotee none the less."
Do you have any idea of where he might have gone? Or do you know of anyone who might know?
"Well, I saw him two days ago. That's great that you are looking to hire him. He's been a little down on his luck lately." He pauses to gage your reaction.
Just as he pauses, two men walk in the door. One Semabin notices as the one who he kept seeing in town. They take up a seat on the other side of the room. The innkeeper bustles over welcoming them in and calling them by name, though only Kyle catches that their names are Jim and Bert. He retrieves a couple of mugs of ale and drops them back off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu02-02-06, 10:07 PM
"A small town, Apple Glade. That has to be the nth time I've seen that man today." Semabin grins. In a way, this reminds him of Baras, the town the Zephyr lived in when he left. Shortly he wondered if the Zephyr had already swapped places with another tribe, or if they still lived there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-04-06, 09:25 AM
"Well it's either Jim or Bert that you're seeing" Kyle says through mouthfuls of food "Or at least that's what the innkeep called them."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool02-04-06, 06:37 PM
"A small town, Apple Glade. That has to be the nth time I've seen that man today." Semabin grins.
"Hmm," Deos frowns. "That's not an uncommon occurance in a small town, but given what we've been asking around about, we might do well to speak to them. Do any of you wish to do the honors?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-04-06, 10:57 PM
You notice as you sit discussing what to do next that the two men - Jim and Bert - appear to be trying not to look at anything in particular, but their gaze continues to find it's way back to your table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-06-06, 07:28 AM
Kyle turns and notices the two men looking at the party "Ahhh I see you like the look of our spread?" he bellows to the men, indicating the feast laid on the table before the party "Geoth loves to provide so please come and join us with Geoth's blessing" the fat dwarf beckons the two men over with a subtle wink at Deos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-07-06, 09:54 PM
The two men look at eachother, clearly unsure what to do next. After a second passes, one of them stands and walks over to your table, the other quickly following. "Well, we, ah, certainly couldn't turn down such a gracious invitation. I am Jim and this is my friend Bert. I see that you are from out of town. Where do you hail from?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-08-06, 09:46 AM
Kyle beckons to the innkeeper "Two more plates for our new friends" he says as his fat 'cousin' appears from behind the bar "Well most recently we've come from Orussus, you ever visited the place? You should if you can, make an effort to get out there. If you do be sure to visit the kitches of Geoth, some of the finest food you'll ever taste" Looking up as the innkeeper arrives with the empty plates the fat priest continues "Not as good as the food here but a little more variety. You really must give me the recipie for this" he says to the innkeep as he starts to ladle food onto first Jim's and then Bert's plates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-09-06, 03:30 PM
"Yeah, we've been there a time or two. What's the news in Orussus?" The two dig in to the meal before them, taking a moment to chew while awaiting Kyle's response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-10-06, 08:08 AM
Kyle warms into one of his favourite topics other than food, gossip "Well. Where to start? The Widow Brakus is pregnant, now that caused quite a stir that did. Father Kelith has been missing from his parish for almost two weeks. Some say he has gone mad while others suggest he has run off with Goodwife Flet who, as you might have realised, is also missing. Klosterman is said to have turned traitor and assisted bandits in ransacking his charge. A mysterious stranger in scarlet was seen loitering around Lady Helios's mansion and, apparently, there's someone stealing money from the Wishing Well." he looks prepared to say more but stops to take a bite of food and slurp down a drink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-11-06, 06:16 AM
You (all) notice Jim's eyes tighten at the mention of Klosterman. Bert's breath catches in his throat at the same. An awkward silence falls while Kyle takes a bite. After a moment passes, Jim asks, "What was ... that about Mr, ah, Mr. Klosterman?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-15-06, 04:23 PM
*bump*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu02-15-06, 07:45 PM
"Jealous loud-mouth gossip from the street. You know the type. Ne'er-do-wells who think they're tougher than Grendath, faster than Phyrah, and more honorable that Klosterman. And of course, they know exactly what the Orussus City Council should do, but the council is keeping them down." Semabin downs his drink, trying to give the indication that he doesn't believe anything that Kyle just relayed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-16-06, 11:43 PM
Bert says, "Well, you can bet on that. I-".
A muffled stamp is heard from under the table and Jim interrupts Bert, "That's right. I know him and he would never roll over on a commission. You're a good man to not believe those rumors."

OOC: The DM credits thread got me thinking about pace (and not just because this adventure has one of the lower posting rates
). In my table top adventures, I don't like to force the action, instead letting the players feel their way through things and just trying to make the world react when they poke it. Since this is my first play-by-post game, I'm still feeling out how it works. It seems like my style can cause things to drag in play-by-post. Would you prefer a more active style with fewer coversations? Or are you enjoying things as they stand?

"Welll I don't know if you'd say it was gossip, it's from some pretty reliable sources after all" the fat dwarf priest says "Now I don't believe some of the other things they say about this Klosterman, dabbling in black arts, sacrificing children, consorting with demons and devils but the story of him turning bandit has the ring of truth about it. Mind you, I don't know the man and as long as he doesn't rob me who am I to say what he should or shouldn't do. More food?" he asks the two men.

Jim and Bert accept Kyle's offer of more food, but leave it untouched as they watch for Kyle's response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-18-06, 10:37 PM
"Well, like I said I don't know this man and have only heard the rumours. I'd be happy to be set straight by someone who did know the man, perhaps he does have integrity, perhaps not?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-19-06, 11:54 PM
Bert again opens his mouth to speak, but a subtle (or not so subtle) elbow from Jim quiets him. "Is that why you are in Apple Glade? Looking for Klosterman?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-20-06, 09:28 AM
"I came to test the cider that I had heard so much about, and I must say it lives up to its reputation. Why do you ask? Does Klosterman reside in Apple Glade? If so then you might be able to explain away his actions and I can return to Orussus and set these rumour mongers to rights"

Deos is enjoying listening to Kyle and Semabin verbally fence with these two individuals. He will quietly smile and listen intently.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-21-06, 05:20 PM
"Well... no, he doesn't live here. This guy's (gesturing to Semabin) has the right of it though. I've worked with him in the past and he is a good an honorable man."
Kyle and Semabin both get the feeling that he is leaving something out.
OOC: Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if it changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-23-06, 11:38 AM
"Well I wonder why these rumours have started? I'll have to find ths Klosterman and let him know what people are saying about him. Help him clear his name. Seems like the fair and honourable thing to do if he is as upstanding a citizen as you suggest" as Kyle speaks he ladles food onto the plates of the two townsmen all the time casually watching their body language and smiling and nodding in an amicable and friendly manner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-23-06, 07:13 PM
Bert says, somewhat softly, "So you are looking for him."
At the same time, Jim talks over him and says, "Well, I don't know where the rumors started. Ehm, and I certainly don't know where Klosterman is."
With that, he drags Bert to his feet and says stiffly, "We'll need to be going now."
OOC: At this point, they are standing up but have not yet left the inn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu02-23-06, 07:28 PM
"I'd have loved to talk with Klosterman at some point, and since we were here anyway... but since he isn't here, I guess I'm out of luck."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar02-26-06, 01:06 AM
"Um, yep, guess so. Bye," as they walk off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-26-06, 01:14 AM
As the men leaves Kyle reaches for their plates and removes the freshly ladled food "Well no skin off my nose whether I find him or not, I was just going to do the bloke a favour and help clear his name. Say, why don't you let him know about this rumour doing the rounds" the fat dwarf priest calls out "that way I can get on with doing something important instead of trying to be helpful to a total stranger"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two men continue out the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza02-28-06, 08:53 AM
Kyle leans across the table and whispers to his companions "OK, who wants to follow them? They may very well know where Klosterman is and go and warn him that people are sniffing around" the dwarf takes a long pull from his ale and then continues "Unfortunately sneaking and hiding is not my area of expertise so I'd best stay here and finish this off" the last said with a sweep of his hand over the food and drink still resting on the table.

"I'm not exactly adept at skulking in the shadows," Deos says, "But we should make haste with whatever we plan to do. We'll need to leave town today or tomorrow if we are going to make it to the ransom location in time."
Deos glances at Fenwick and Semabin. "Do either of you feel up to the task of following these men?" His eyes scan over his companions before landing on the hulking form of Lupic, "Or should we try more ... immediate methods of persuasion?"

(That would be alot easier if he was still with us...)

Fenwick responds, "Well, I might fair a bit better than some of you, but I'm not the greatest sneak in the world either. I can give it a try, but if they spotted me I might be in a heap of trouble."
OOC: Fenwick is not actually trained in Hide or Move Silently or Spot. He gets a few bonuses for being small, but is not particularly adept at stealth. Too bad this group couldn't pair up with the Dance of Souls crowd.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aren't you small folks all good at that sort of thing? At least that's what I heard...?"

"Well, at the risk of making ourselves unwelcome in this town, I think that a more expedient means is preferrable, given that that is where the talent of our group lies. Besides, I'll take the safety of a child over the friendship of a town any day." With that, Deos gets to his feet with an uncharacteristicly grim expression. "If we are agreed, then I suggest that Lupic do the honors."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-03-06, 03:25 AM
The party steps outside and sees Burt and Jim 80 feet down the street. They are walking quickly, but not running.

Kyle grabs what food he can and stuffs it in his backpack, picks up a half empty bottle of wine, drops another gold coin on the table and nods a hearty farewell to the Innkeeper "Geoth's blessing upon your house good sir. A fine table you set. I'll be back sometime" with that he casually saunters out the door, following slowly in his friends wake.

Unless someone suggests otherwise, the Lupic trigger has been pulled and he's going to get one of them, without and prior steps. If instructed, he will attempt to intimidate instead.

Semabin: 14
Deos: 10
Kyle: 7
Fenwick: 6
Lupic: 3
Jim and Bert do not appear to have noticed you step out of the inn.
OOC: I am officially confused on how armor spikes work in a grapple. The armor spikes description says they deal "extra piercing damage" in a grapple. So does the 1d6 replace the 1d3 a normal person does or is it 1d3 non-lethal and 1d6 lethal piercing? If no one knows, I'll go with replaces. Second question, can you make a non-lethal grapple while in spiked armor? I'll say yes (with 1d3 base damage) if no one knows. I also noticed there was no healing performed at the end of the ettercap combat, but Kyle had plenty of spells so I will assume everyone is fully healed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-06-06, 10:40 AM
As Kyle steps out onto the porch he notices that Lupic is looking riled up "Information Lupic, not blood - OK? he calls as quielty as he can, trying not to alert the two men to the parties presence.

"Urr, yes, me not kill, just make agreeable" responds Lupic quietly before he rushes one of them into a grapple.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-07-06, 01:29 AM
Upon exiting, Jim and Bert began walking down the main town road. The party hustles after them and manages to close nearly half the distance when Jim happens to glance back. He slightly stumbles and bumps into Bert causing them to react slowly to the situation. Unfortunatly, Lupic catches a loose cobblestone just as he is getting ready to sprint in for the tackle.
OOC: Initiative 7 for Jim and 5 for Bert. Above is just IC explaination for initiatives. Semabin, Deos, and Kyle notice that Lupic is not going to have time to close before Jim and Bert get to act. Actions?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-07-06, 08:43 AM
Knowing that he stands no chance of catching the two men, and not forgetting the fact that running is undignified for a priest of Geoth, Kyle calls out to the men as they turn "I apologise for following you but it seems that my hulking brute of a friend over here" he waves a hand at Lupic "Wants to have a chat, I told him he had ample opportunity over lunch but, well, you know barbarians" he finishes with a smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard03-07-06, 02:01 PM
"I think you lie to me little man. I don't like when I am lied to. You want to talk again or do I have to not talk with you? People not like it when I stop talking. "
We'll try that as an intimidate check.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-09-06, 02:37 AM
Jim and Bert pause for a moment at Kyle's words, but at Lupic's words, they decide their best chance is to high tail it out of here. They are clearly intimidated, but probably not reacting quite the way Lupic had hoped (failed intimidate roll).
Lupic, Kyle, and Fenwick are quickly left behind assuming that you chase after them.
OOC: Basically, everyone delayed until Lupic's turn and so we are back to the top of the initiative order. Jim and Bert are 50 ft away and about to take off running, but since they paused that will not happen until their initiative since they paused to hear what the party was saying. You can run at times x4 speed for # of rounds equal to constitution. Semabin and Deos have a chance to close or cast a spell before Jim and Bert move. What do they do?

"Wait! We are simply here to get the little girl Klosterman kidnapped back. Without bloodshed, if possible."
OOC: Sadly, in Deos' case, he does very little. There's no reason to apply lethal force (we don't know just how they are involved), and Deos didn't memorize Charm Person today...
Diplomacy +0 maybe?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-09-06, 11:22 AM
Kyle waddles along behind the rest of the group as they follow the two men down the road "Nothing to see here" he says to the crowds of villagers that start to gather and watch the bizarre procession "Just a simple misunderstanding. I'm sure there won't be any real trouble, they're all sensible lads"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-09-06, 03:00 PM
The two continue running without even a start at Deos's words, giving the impression that this newest bit of news may not have been entirely unknown to them.
Fortunately for the party, there is actually little commotion. It is long enough since lunch that most the villiagers have returned to the fields. There are a few faces in windows and a couple doors open to see what the yelling is about, but not the great crowds one might expect in a larger town.

Semabin immediately charges forward and tries to tackle Jim.

He is unable to get a good hold on Jim. He tries to grab again (attack of opportunity) as Jim flees, but is unable to catch him.

IcyCool03-10-06, 05:17 AM
Deos will simply try to keep pace, and see if he can discover where they are running to. (assuming they are not just running off in a blind panic). Seeing Semabin's approach, and if the opportunity presents itself, he will try to grab ahold of one of them, as he's never tried grappling someone before (melee touch +0, grapple +0). If he is allowed any attacks of opportunity, he will make them as unarmed trip attempts (melee touch +0, +0 strength modifier).

Deos makes an inexpert attempt to grapple Jim.
touch attack, opposed grapple (1d20+0=6, 1d20+0=19, 1d20+1=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384382)
He is unable to get a hold.
As Bert runs away, Deos tries to kick Jim's legs out from under him, (touch attack, opposed trip (1d20+0=3, 1d20+0=5, 1d20+1=20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384385)), but only manages to send himself tumbling to the ground (counter trip (1d20+1=21, 1d20+0=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384387)). They appear to be running for the edge of town.
Fenwick is able to move forward just before Bert is out of range. He casts daze
will save (1d20+1=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384388) and Berts steps falter. He stands for a moment wondering what is going on.
Lupic charges forward and grabs Bert. touch attack, opposed grapple (1d20+9=21, 1d20+11=24, 1d20+1=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384389) He easily twists Bert's arm into a painful position, and Bert's eyes flutter up into his head as he passes out. subdual (1d3+5=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384391)
Summary: They started to run. Conversation delayed everyone a round. Semabin and Deos charged in but failed to grapple them. Jim sprints off. Deos was countertripped. Fenwick dazes Bert. Lupic grapples Bert and does sufficient subdual damage to knock him unconscious.
Regarding AoOs: I know I've seen that you can use a grapple or trip as an attack of opportunity. It seems strange that it would be easier to do that with a weapon than without, but I suppose that's how the rules work. However, given the "chase" mechanics of D&D are somewhat lacking in my mind, I'm going to give an attack of opportunity when they try to run even though Semabin and Deos do not technically threaten.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Will you stay here, we're not going to harm you." Semabin curses as Jim slips from his grasp like an eel, and runs after Jim.

"Now you tell us what we want or you not like it" Lupic says to the man trapped in his grasp. He'll go with and intimidate on top of it of course. <gotta use that one and only skill ya know>

Jim continues his flight with Semabin chasing right behind him. After another 120 feet of running, Semabin closes the distance enough to throw a hand out and grab Jim by the collar.

Deos continues after them as well and is able to lend a hand to subduing Jim.

Jim is looking somewhat beaten up at this point.

*Bert is actually unconscious at the moment. He is not badly injured, but mostly overcome by the situation.*
Lupic, Kyle and Fenwick are currently standing in the middle of the street with the unconcious Bert. They are 500 feet from the edge of town to the north (the direction Jim is running).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle looks down at Bert as he passes "He looks ok, should snap out of it soon. Splash some water on his face, if he hasn't snapped out of it soon give me a yell and I'll call on Geoth to heal him" he continues down the road at a waddle, following after Jim, Semabin and Deos.

Summary: Lupic (with Fenwick) is holding up the fainted Bert. Another 150 feet down the road Semabin (with Deos) has ahold of Jim. Kyle is halfway in between. All characters are in the middle of the street and there are three or four onlookers wondering what's going on. Several others have slammed their doors shut seeing the fight erupt, not wanting to become any part of it.

Jim surrenders saying, "Alright, alright. What do you want?"
"Well now Jim, that's the question, isn't it? There's been a kidnapping, and all signs point to Klosterman. It's obvious that the two of you know something, so what we want is to know what you know. And before you start you should know that Lupic there," Deos gestures over at Lupic, "Well, let's just say he doesn't like liars."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-15-06, 05:11 PM
Rubbing his shoulder, Jim spares a wide-eyed glance at Lupic effortlessly carrying Bert down the street. Jim says, "Look, I might know where Klosterman is, but you have to promise to let us go. He'd be furious if he knew we was the ones that told you."

Deos leans in closer to the man, before pointing to Lupic, "And what, exactly, do you think he will be if you don't talk?"
He steps back then and says, "Besides, if Klosterman is guilty, it's likely that he will be imprisoned for his crime. I doubt you will have much to worry about for a long time, if at all."

"I guess we can let you go... afterwards. You certainly understand that we cannot risk to let you warn Klosterman, with the life of a child at stake."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-18-06, 08:19 PM
Jim hem and haws for a bit, trying to look at Deos and Semabin, but his eyes keep going back to Lupic. "Th-There's an old farm house about 5 miles north east of the Cider House. Klosterman might be holed up there."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-20-06, 01:00 AM
Kyle throws a look in the direction Jim indicates - surveying the lay-of-the-land between the party and the object of their quest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-21-06, 01:38 PM
North east of town quickly becomes wooded rolling hills. It does not appear the greatest place for a farm, but then that's probably why the farm was abandoned to let the trees take back over.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-22-06, 09:35 AM
Turning to Semabin Kyle whispers "If we can ensure these two don't raise the alarm we should be able to get close enough to the farmhouse that we can surprise Klosterman if he is there"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-22-06, 08:21 PM
Turning to Semabin Kyle whispers "If we can ensure these two don't raise the alarm we should be able to get close enough to the farmhouse that we can surprise Klosterman if he is there"
"I agree. It seems we could get some nice cover for approaching.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So I smash people soon?" Lupic queries since it sounds like business he can handle now.

OOC: More questions? Heading to the northeast?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-26-06, 08:09 PM
Deos looks out to the northeast and then turns back at Kyle's and Semabin's words. "Well, if we gag Jim, and we bind him and Bert and stash them just a bit off the trail, we can get close without them alerting Klosterman. Does that sound acceptable to everyone?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-27-06, 08:45 AM
"Sounds a bit extreme, and probably illegal" Kyle stammers "I'm sure these two know what is good for them and will avoid the farm house for a little while. Won't you?" the Priest says turning to the two villagers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-27-06, 02:13 PM
"Oh yes. Just let us go please."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-27-06, 05:48 PM
Deos sighs, "You're right, of course Kyle. Someone should go back and fetch the horses and wagon. Would you do that Fenwick?" He looks back at Jim, "Once we are ready to set out, we'll let you go. We expect you to be good to your word and not alert Klosterman to our presence."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-28-06, 10:39 AM
Kyle shugs his backpack off and plonks it on the dusty road "Well then" he says with a happy grin as he looks around at the group waiting for Fenwick "No harm done then eh?" he continues, as he unbuckles his pack and throws the flap back revealing a treasure of food and beverage saved from back at the Inn "This country air really gives one an appettite. Come on then, dig in. Nothing like a good feed to mend fences and seal pacts"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-28-06, 01:47 PM
Jim and Bert (who has finally come around) look at Kyle in confusion. Jim says, "Um, no thanks." While Bert says, "You are eating again, here, now?"
A few minutes later, Fenwick arrives with the wagon. Jim asks, "Ok, we told you what you wanted. Can we go now?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-29-06, 05:27 AM
Does looks around to his companions before saying, "If no one else has any issue with you then I think you're free to go."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-29-06, 06:36 AM
Kyle wipes his greasy hands upon his apron "Well it was a real pleasure meeting you" he says as he thrusts one of his pudgy hands at the villagers "If you're ever in Orussus make sure to look me up. Oh, and thanks for the help."
The Priest of Geoth smiles, bends over and shuts tight his backpack, then picks it up and straps it to his back before starting to waddle down the road towards the farmhouse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard03-29-06, 05:48 PM
Lupic will hang back a bit before following the rest watching the two locals. "Best you not cross us or I become angry. Go, I not want to see you again."
And then he will follow after the others.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-29-06, 07:56 PM
"Let's be off, then, we have a kid to safe." Semabin adds to the choir.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-30-06, 10:43 AM
"What are we going to do with the wagon?" Kyle says over his shoulder "We can't very well surprise the farmhouse towing that behind us? Or can we? Kyle scratches his head for a moment "How about I, looking the least threatening of us all, drive the cart to the farmhouse with most of the rest of you hidden in the wagon tray? Anyone that wanted to sneak up on the farm from a different direction could then do it with maybe some element of surprise?" Kyle asks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-30-06, 03:44 PM
You reach the edge of town and spot path leading off to the northeast. It may have once been a road, but the woods have mostly reclaimed it so that it is but a small path. The decision regarding the wagon is soon taken out of your hands as trees begin to grow too close to the path to allow the wagon to pass. You notice a few hoof prints in some mud on the side of the path, probably from deer though none of you are skilled in tracking. It appears that the old road now serves as a game trail.
OOC: Do you wish to leave the wagon or try to find some other means of approaching the farm house?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-01-06, 01:06 PM
"Well I think the wagon will be alright here for a spell" Kyle says as he clmbers dwon from the wagons tray "Looks like we walk from here" the fat priest says his voice down "Unless one of you wants to carry me?" he says his voice brightening at the prospect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-02-06, 06:30 PM
You leave the wagon and continue on. Semabin brushes against a bush and ends up with an arm full of fine (normal) spider webs. With that prompting, he notices, despite being somewhat unfamiliar with forests, that there seem to be many more spider webs than normal.
Traveling on a little farther, Lupic notices a larger spider web strung across the path just before he stumbles into it. As you come to a stop, you hear a chittering as 4 smaller webs fly at you from the trees to the left.
Two webs at Lupic, one entangling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) him and the other caught in the tree. Escape with Escape Artist (DC 12) or burst with Strength check (DC 16).

web touch (1d20+4=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=403235)
Two webs at Fenwick, the first falling short and the second easily hitting and entangling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) him. Escape with Escape Artist (DC 10) or burst with Strength check (DC 14).

web touch (1d20+4=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=403238)
You see where the webs came from. To the left of the path about 20 feet away are two of the largest spiders you have ever seen, and two more only slightly smaller.

Semabin strikes against one of the larger spiders with both of his scimitars.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-07-06, 02:46 AM
With a roar, Lupic bursts free of the web. (previous post)
Semabin strikes with his scimitars, but the spiders evade the attacks: scimitar strikes (1d20+0=3, 1d6+1=5, 1d20+0=11, 1d6=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406533)
Kyle throws a stone at the nearest spider, but the stone slips between his fingers on the back swing. magic stone into melee (1d20-2=-1, 1d6+1=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406536)
Fenwick delays until Deos can help with the web, but Deos is unable to offer much assistance. aid another (1d20+0=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406538)
Fenwick manages to riggle free. escape artist (1d20+2=12) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406539)
The spiders bite at Semabin. The first three fail to even touch the warrior, but the fourth (@14/H) sinks its fangs into the back of Semabin's leg for 2 damage. Semabin feels the now familiar burn of poison, but his system fights off the initial effects. bite (1d20+4=23, 1d4-2=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406544)

Lupic will go attack one of the spiders on Sembalin with his armor spikes. I think the idea of grappling a spider doesn't appeal to him.

Lupic pushes through the bushes and tries to skewer the spider on his armor spikes. The spider narrowly avoids the half-orc's assault. armor spike (1d20+7=12, 1d6+5=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406793)
Semabin strikes out again at the smaller spider. With a crunch, his scimitar splits the carapice and nearly cleaves the spider in half. His other attack swishes over the head of the another spider. scimitars (1d20+0=16, 1d6+1=7, 1d20+0=5, 1d6=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=406796)

Kyle throws another stone. This one at least travels in the right direction, but still does not find its mark. magic stone (1d20-2=4, 1d6+1=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409299)
Deos fires his crossbow at the same spider. He comes very close, but his care to avoid Semabin causes a miss. crossbow (1d20-4=11, 1d8=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409303)
Fenwick readies and loads his crossbow.
The spider near Lupic tries to bite the half-orc, but manages only to snap at air.
As the large spider near Semabin lunges at him, the legs of the beast tear through the soft soil. The spider narrowly catches its balance. (natural 1).
The little spider that could bites again and once again gets through Semabin's defenses. bite (1d20+4=20, 1d4-2=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409308) His body continues to fight off the effects of the poison. save (1d20+5=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409309)

Kyle throws his last stone at the persistant spider. The shot is true and blows off two of the spider's legs. It appears badly staggered by the blow. magic stone (1d20-2=16, 1d6+1=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410243) (should have an additional +1 for strength)
The fletchings of the bolt Deos fires causing the arrow to flight to the left, no where near its target. crossbow (1d20-4=-3, 1d8=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410245) (I'm running of discriptions for natural 1's)
Fenwick just misses putting the spider out of its misery. crossbow (1d20-2=13, 1d6=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410247)
The spider Lupic hit breaks off moving to the tree at E11 and scuttling up into the branches.
The small spider near Semabin moves away as well, but Semabin is able to dispatch the staggered spider before it gets away. attack of opportunity (1d20+0=15, 1d6+1=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410252)
The large spider continues to fight and sinks its fangs into Semabin's arm. bite (1d20+4=18, 1d6=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410253) Semabin's fortitude fights off the poison's initial effects yet again. bite (1d20+5=13, 1d4=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410254)

Kyle moves over while drawing his skillet. He steps through the bushes and over the collapsed spider.
Deos fires his crossbow, but his shot flies wide. crossbow (1d20-4=5, 1d8=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=412500)
Fenwick fire as well with the same result. crossbow (1d20+2=5, 1d6=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=412502)
The spider bites at Semabin again, its fangs kept at bay by the chainmail.

"Spider bit me. Small bite, but I think we fight again soon, so best I get healed." replies Lupic to Kyle's query.

(How much damage did Semabin take from the poison?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-18-06, 10:50 PM
OOC: Semabin took 3 strength damage from the poison.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-19-06, 12:28 AM
"Anyone need me to tap into the healing power of Geoth?" Kyle asks of his companions "Afterall I want you all to be fit enough to enjoy the spider stew after we see if Klosterman is in yonder house"
Deos nods and says, "I too can offer some of the healing mysteries of Antonidas, should that be desired."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-19-06, 12:17 PM
Kyle moves over to Lupic and utters a prayer to Geoth bestowing his Gods healing magic on the barbarian.
OOC: CLW giving up Doom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-19-06, 09:42 PM
"I took a few bites as well, and I feel a bit heavy and weak..."
As a matter of fact, the poisoning has moved Semabin into a medium load.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-19-06, 11:26 PM
Kyle says a prayer over Lupic, closing the bite wound.
cure light wounds (1d8+1=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=417735). Lupic is healed of 3 points of damage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-20-06, 11:28 AM
"So" the fat dwarf says his blubbery jowls shaking in time to his words "I guess it's the farmhouse then eh? Lead away Lupic. This Klosterman has caused me way too much trouble"
OOC: SM, please buy new dice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-20-06, 04:46 PM
"Agreed Kyle, let's go and see if Jim and Bert were telling the truth."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-20-06, 07:24 PM
OOC: SM, please buy new dice
(To think how well he and his companions tended to roll in Dance of Souls....
)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-22-06, 04:42 AM
OOC: Yeah, but they've taken a downturn. And my rolls for Planus in Slaves of the Dragon haven't been the greatest either. Them's the breaks.
Are any more healing spells used?
Current status:
Semabin (3 Strength damage, 7 hitpoints damage)
Lupic (1 hitpoint damage)
---------------------------------------------------------------
After defeating the spiders, the group continues along the path. Semabin is slowed by the weaking of his limbs, but is able to keep pace with the group due to the shorter legged members of the party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-22-06, 11:13 PM
Semabin felt aweful. Heavy. Slow. He had always taken some pride in his speed and grace, he realized, and now they were gone. He wished he could just drop some of his gear, but everything was important. He didn't even know if this weakness would ever go away again.
Horrible. Weak. Clumsy. He didn't slow down the group, but he hardly noticed that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-24-06, 11:49 AM
Seeing how much Semabin had been affected by the spider's bite Kyle moves over to him "I apologise stout warrior, I thought that friend Deos was going to call upon his own healing skills to help you" the fat dwarf says "Looks like the blessing of Geoth is what you really need" Kyle finishes with a chuckle as he looks over to where Deos stands with a smug 'my-God-is-better-than-yours' look on his face.
OOC: giving up his Shield of Faith for a CLW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-24-06, 02:29 PM
OOC: Semabin is healed 1d8+1=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=424590) points and is now at 4 damage. I would have NPC'd Deos since he indicated he was willing to heal, except Semabin did not request it. Perhaps I should email the host of Invisible Castle and see if he is tracking my IP to give me all bad rolls.
IC:
The group continues along the path deeper into the forest. An occasional spider is seen, but none bigger than a hand. Finally, after another couple of miles, Deos and Kyle see an old farmhouse about 200 feet through the trees. It looks to be in a clearing with no trees within 40 feet of the house. As you get a little closer, you notice a small wisp of smoke ascending from the chimney. It appears the farmhouse is no longer abandoned. You do not immediately see any people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-24-06, 08:20 PM
I would have NPC'd Deos since he indicated he was willing to heal, except Semabin did not request it.
(So, post 327 doesn't count?)
"Thank you, Kyle."
Semabin watches the farmhouse for any further signs of activity. He's tempted to sneak forwards, but his weakness, his clumsyness discourage him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-25-06, 12:30 AM
OOC: I suppose it should have since it comes right after Deos's comment. Sorry about that. Would Semabin like another cure light wounds?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-25-06, 06:34 AM
"So there's someone home" the fat dwaf whispers to his friends "I'm not the tactician of this group, what should I do? Where will I be most effective"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-25-06, 03:26 PM
OOC: Sorry guys, I've had spotty access at best. Feel free to NPC me SlagMortar, I don't want to hold up the game.
Deos looks over Semabin's wounds after Kyle is finished. "It would appear that Geoth, or his servant, must be hungry, as this is still a nasty wound. Let's see what we can do about that." Deos intones a quiet prayer to Antonidas, and sends the holy power into Semabin's wounds.

As you wait for a few minutes trying to determine what to do, you see nothing more of the inhabitants.
OOC: I've been really busy lately so if anyone's been holding up the game its me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-26-06, 04:32 PM
Deos glances at his companions. "Well, I don't see anyone, do you? Shall we take a look inside?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-26-06, 08:34 PM
"It would appear that Geoth, or his servant, must be hungry, ..."
At these words, Semabin's eyes rush towards the wounds, to make sure Kyle didn't take a bite out while the warrior wasn't watching. "Uhm, thanks, you too. I think we, someone, maybe should sneak closer. Carefully. Wouldn't want to risk the child's life."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-27-06, 10:57 AM
"Sneak eh? the fat dwarf says as he watches the farmhouse, all the time rubbing his chin "Well I'm not the stealthiest but if you feel that's what I should be doing then, OK". Kyle hitches his pants up and quietly lowers his backpack and other equipment to the ground, he takes a couple of steps towards the house and then stops, turns and picks up his skillet, shoots a grin at his friends and starts to stealthily make his way towards the farmhouse.
OOC: H -1 MS -1
I'm hoping that, when someone sees him, the ridiculousness of a short obese chef, with skillet, creeping thrpugh the undergrowth will ummm.... (c'mon the picture is priceless)

While still a good distance from the house Lupic will shrug his shoulders making a clinking sound. "Me not so sure I sneak. Maybe someone who sneak good go look, we come if need".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-27-06, 04:02 PM
"I'm going to have to agree with Lupic here. Kyle, perhaps you should wait with us while Semabin or Fenwick sneak up to take a look. You two seem to be our stealthiest associates."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-28-06, 03:13 AM
Fenwick says, "Well, I'm really more of a socialite. But, if no one else thinks they can do it, I can give it a try."
OOC: I'm assuming that Kyle stopped at Deos's words. However, if he wants to keep going, that's fine by me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-28-06, 09:13 AM
Kyle pulls up short a couple of steps away from the party. He turns, a sad look upon his face, his bottom lip trembles as he says "You don't want me going, that's OK I understand" he then shuffles back to his backpack, opens it, thrusts his hand in and pulls out a large, slightly fluffy chicken leg which her forlornly munches on as he watches Fenwick's progress towards the farmhouse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-29-06, 11:59 PM
"I fear, in my condition, wouldn't be stealthy, too much, that is..."
(Move Silently +0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-30-06, 12:41 AM
Fenwick creeps up to the house trying to use what little cover is available to the best of his ability. As he gets near the window and is about to look in, the door opens and a man bursts out and grabs Fenwick in a headlock (surprise round). It looks as though the man is about to drag Fenwick into the cottage, but his footing slips slightly causing a delay.
Lupic, Semabin, Fenick, Kyle, Deos (1d20+2=16, 1d20+3=21, 1d20+2=6, 1d20-1=6, 1d20+0=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=432854)
Initiatives:
21 Semabin
16 Lupic
6 Fenwick
6 Kyle
5 Opponent
5 Deos
OOC: The rest of the party is 40 feet from the farmhouse. The ground is fairly open so charging is possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard04-30-06, 04:12 PM
Lupic will charge and try to grapple the man holding Fenwick.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu05-01-06, 06:49 PM
Semabin will rush forwards along with Lupic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar05-02-06, 12:19 AM
Semabin rushes forward, drawing his scimitars. Through the open door, Semabin sees a small entryway.
Lupic is able to enter the grapple and grab Fenwick's attacker, gouging (6 damage) him with an armor spike. As Lupic grabs him, the man yells, "There's more!"
Fenwick tries to break free, but is unable to do so.
Kyle is up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza05-02-06, 01:14 AM
Kyle runs towards the house, in his left hand is the skillet but, in the excitement of the moment, he brandishes the chicken leg he has been muching on that is held in his right "Surrender bandits, or in the name of Geoth there will be a reckoning" he cries as he plods forward as fast as he can.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu05-02-06, 06:50 PM
"No killings yet, if possible!" Semabin calls out to Lupic. He'll try to dodge into the house as fast as possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool05-02-06, 09:53 PM
Deos rushes forward and heads to the left of the building. "There are more of them inside. Try to make sure they don't escape!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar05-03-06, 03:21 PM
Kyle moves forward with a bellow.
The grappled opponent twists in an unexpected way and pulls free of Lupic's grasp 1d20+2=18, 1d20+9=10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=437817). He takes a step back to clear some room and draws a handaxe from his belt.
Two more opponents come out through the front door provoking an AoO from Semabin (Does he take it?). The first through (P) wears padded armor and somewhat awkwardly carries a long spear. The other (R) wears a chain shirt and appears much more competent with the long sword in his hands. Both strike at Semabin ineffectually.
Lupic and Fenwick also spot two more coming around the side, one with a battle axe (T) and the other (U) with a long bow. There must be a back entrance as well.

As the longspear man dashes out of the house, Semabin raps him on the head with the flat of his blade, nearly knocking the man unconscious.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Is Semabin still trying to get in the door?

Lupic will attempt to re-grapple the man who pulled the hand axe. He will also ignore the calls for non lethal combat.

Deos circles back to the front of the house, mutters out a few words in Auran, "Fel'ewin honeth" and hurls a glowing golden dart at the man in the chain shirt.

[SBLOCK]
Deos makes an inexpert attempt to grapple Jim.
touch attack, opposed grapple (1d20+0=6, 1d20+0=19, 1d20+1=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384382)
He is unable to get a hold.
As Bert runs away, Deos tries to kick Jim's legs out from under him, (touch attack, opposed trip (1d20+0=3, 1d20+0=5, 1d20+1=20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384385)), but only manages to send himself tumbling to the ground (counter trip (1d20+1=21, 1d20+0=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384387)). They appear to be running for the edge of town.
Fenwick is able to move forward just before Bert is out of range. He casts daze
will save (1d20+1=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384388) and Berts steps falter. He stands for a moment wondering what is going on.
Lupic charges forward and grabs Bert. touch attack, opposed grapple (1d20+9=21, 1d20+11=24, 1d20+1=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384389) He easily twists Bert's arm into a painful position, and Bert's eyes flutter up into his head as he passes out. subdual (1d3+5=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=384391)
Summary: They started to run. Conversation delayed everyone a round. Semabin and Deos charged in but failed to grapple them. Jim sprints off. Deos was countertripped. Fenwick dazes Bert. Lupic grapples Bert and does sufficient subdual damage to knock him unconscious.
Regarding AoOs: I know I've seen that you can use a grapple or trip as an attack of opportunity. It seems strange that it would be easier to do that with a weapon than without, but I suppose that's how the rules work. However, given the "chase" mechanics of D&D are somewhat lacking in my mind, I'm going to give an attack of opportunity when they try to run even though Semabin and Deos do not technically threaten.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-10-06, 11:26 PM
"Will you stay here, we're not going to harm you." Semabin curses as Jim slips from his grasp like an eel, and runs after Jim.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard03-12-06, 06:10 PM
"Now you tell us what we want or you not like it" Lupic says to the man trapped in his grasp. He'll go with and intimidate on top of it of course. <gotta use that one and only skill ya know>
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-12-06, 07:07 PM
Jim continues his flight with Semabin chasing right behind him. After another 120 feet of running, Semabin closes the distance enough to throw a hand out and grab Jim by the collar.
1d20+3=11, 1d20+3=6, 1d20+1=6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=385872)
Subdual damage: 1d3+1=2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=385874)
Deos continues after them as well and is able to lend a hand to subduing Jim.
joining grapple (1d20-1=17, 1d20+1=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=385877)
damage (1d3-1=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=385879)
Jim is able to break free of both Semabin and Deos moves another 30 feet (total 150 ft away from the rest).
Jim's opposed grapple (1d20+1=18, 1d20+3=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=385876)
escape Deos (1d20+1=20, 1d20-1=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=385878) (This should only have been a roll for Deos and he did not beat Jim's.)
Jim is looking somewhat beaten up at this point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-12-06, 07:11 PM
*Bert is actually unconscious at the moment. He is not badly injured, but mostly overcome by the situation.*
Lupic, Kyle and Fenwick are currently standing in the middle of the street with the unconcious Bert. They are 500 feet from the edge of town to the north (the direction Jim is running).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-13-06, 08:48 AM
Kyle looks down at Bert as he passes "He looks ok, should snap out of it soon. Splash some water on his face, if he hasn't snapped out of it soon give me a yell and I'll call on Geoth to heal him" he continues down the road at a waddle, following after Jim, Semabin and Deos.

Jim surrenders saying, "Alright, alright. What do you want?"
Summary: Lupic (with Fenwick) is holding up the fainted Bert. Another 150 feet down the road Semabin (with Deos) has ahold of Jim. Kyle is halfway in between. All characters are in the middle of the street and there are three or four onlookers wondering what's going on. Several others have slammed their doors shut seeing the fight erupt, not wanting to become any part of it.

Jim surrenders saying, "Alright, alright. What do you want?"
"Well now Jim, that's the question, isn't it? There's been a kidnapping, and all signs point to Klosterman. It's obvious that the two of you know something, so what we want is to know what you know. And before you start you should know that Lupic there," Deos gestures over at Lupic, "Well, let's just say he doesn't like liars."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-15-06, 05:11 PM
Rubbing his shoulder, Jim spares a wide-eyed glance at Lupic effortlessly carrying Bert down the street. Jim says, "Look, I might know where Klosterman is, but you have to promise to let us go. He'd be furious if he knew we was the ones that told you."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-17-06, 03:23 AM
Rubbing his shoulder, Jim spares a wide-eyed glance at Lupic effortlessly carrying Bert down the street. Jim says, "Look, I might know where Klosterman is, but you have to promise to let us go. He'd be furious if he knew we was the ones that told you."
Deos leans in closer to the man, before pointing to Lupic, "And what, exactly, do you think he will be if you don't talk?"
He steps back then and says, "Besides, if Klosterman is guilty, it's likely that he will be imprisoned for his crime. I doubt you will have much to worry about for a long time, if at all."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard03-17-06, 04:40 PM
At this point Lupic will growl menacingly.
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-18-06, 02:30 AM
Kyle watches on sympathetically "You should have answered my not-so-subtle questions" he mutters as he waits.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-18-06, 06:15 PM
"I guess we can let you go... afterwards. You certainly understand that we cannot risk to let you warn Klosterman, with the life of a child at stake."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-18-06, 08:19 PM
Jim hem and haws for a bit, trying to look at Deos and Semabin, but his eyes keep going back to Lupic. "Th-There's an old farm house about 5 miles north east of the Cider House. Klosterman might be holed up there."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-20-06, 01:00 AM
Kyle throws a look in the direction Jim indicates - surveying the lay-of-the-land between the party and the object of their quest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-21-06, 01:38 PM
North east of town quickly becomes wooded rolling hills. It does not appear the greatest place for a farm, but then that's probably why the farm was abandoned to let the trees take back over.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-22-06, 09:35 AM
Turning to Semabin Kyle whispers "If we can ensure these two don't raise the alarm we should be able to get close enough to the farmhouse that we can surprise Klosterman if he is there"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu03-22-06, 08:21 PM
Turning to Semabin Kyle whispers "If we can ensure these two don't raise the alarm we should be able to get close enough to the farmhouse that we can surprise Klosterman if he is there"
"I agree. It seems we could get some nice cover for approaching.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: More questions? Heading to the northeast?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-26-06, 08:09 PM
Deos looks out to the northeast and then turns back at Kyle's and Semabin's words. "Well, if we gag Jim, and we bind him and Bert and stash them just a bit off the trail, we can get close without them alerting Klosterman. Does that sound acceptable to everyone?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza03-27-06, 08:45 AM
"Sounds a bit extreme, and probably illegal" Kyle stammers "I'm sure these two know what is good for them and will avoid the farm house for a little while. Won't you?" the Priest says turning to the two villagers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-27-06, 02:13 PM
"Oh yes. Just let us go please."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool03-27-06, 05:48 PM
Deos sighs, "You're right, of course Kyle. Someone should go back and fetch the horses and wagon. Would you do that Fenwick?" He looks back at Jim, "Once we are ready to set out, we'll let you go. We expect you to be good to your word and not alert Klosterman to our presence."

Kyle shugs his backpack off and plonks it on the dusty road "Well then" he says with a happy grin as he looks around at the group waiting for Fenwick "No harm done then eh?" he continues, as he unbuckles his pack and throws the flap back revealing a treasure of food and beverage saved from back at the Inn "This country air really gives one an appettite. Come on then, dig in. Nothing like a good feed to mend fences and seal pacts"

Jim and Bert (who has finally come around) look at Kyle in confusion. Jim says, "Um, no thanks." While Bert says, "You are eating again, here, now?"
A few minutes later, Fenwick arrives with the wagon. Jim asks, "Ok, we told you what you wanted. Can we go now?"

Kyle wipes his greasy hands upon his apron "Well it was a real pleasure meeting you" he says as he thrusts one of his pudgy hands at the villagers "If you're ever in Orussus make sure to look me up. Oh, and thanks for the help."
The Priest of Geoth smiles, bends over and shuts tight his backpack, then picks it up and straps it to his back before starting to waddle down the road towards the farmhouse.

Lupic will hang back a bit before following the rest watching the two locals. "Best you not cross us or I become angry. Go, I not want to see you again."
And then he will follow after the others.

"What are we going to do with the wagon?" Kyle says over his shoulder "We can't very well surprise the farmhouse towing that behind us? Or can we? Kyle scratches his head for a moment "How about I, looking the least threatening of us all, drive the cart to the farmhouse with most of the rest of you hidden in the wagon tray? Anyone that wanted to sneak up on the farm from a different direction could then do it with maybe some element of surprise?" Kyle asks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar03-30-06, 03:44 PM
You reach the edge of town and spot path leading off to the northeast. It may have once been a road, but the woods have mostly reclaimed it so that it is but a small path. The decision regarding the wagon is soon taken out of your hands as trees begin to grow too close to the path to allow the wagon to pass. You notice a few hoof prints in some mud on the side of the path, probably from deer though none of you are skilled in tracking. It appears that the old road now serves as a game trail.
OOC: Do you wish to leave the wagon or try to find some other means of approaching the farm house?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-01-06, 01:06 PM
"Well I think the wagon will be alright here for a spell" Kyle says as he clmbers dwon from the wagons tray "Looks like we walk from here" the fat priest says his voice down "Unless one of you wants to carry me?" he says his voice brightening at the prospect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-02-06, 06:30 PM
You leave the wagon and continue on. Semabin brushes against a bush and ends up with an arm full of fine (normal) spider webs. With that prompting, he notices, despite being somewhat unfamiliar with forests, that there seem to be many more spider webs than normal.
Traveling on a little farther, Lupic notices a larger spider web strung across the path just before he stumbles into it. As you come to a stop, you hear a chittering as 4 smaller webs fly at you from the trees to the left.
Two webs at Lupic, one entangling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) him and the other caught in the tree. Escape with Escape Artist (DC 12) or burst with Strength check (DC 16).

web touch (1d20+4=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=403235)
Two webs at Fenwick, the first falling short and the second easily hitting and entangling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#entangled) him. Escape with Escape Artist (DC 10) or burst with Strength check (DC 14).

web touch (1d20+4=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=403238)
You see where the webs came from. To the left of the path about 20 feet away are two of the largest spiders you have ever seen, and two more only slightly smaller.

Deos casts mage armor and readies his crossbow.
Semabin can almost see his reflection in the 32 glassy eyes staring at him. They seem to silently say warm prey. The spiders attack Semabin. He easily dodges the bites of the first three, and the fourth gets a mouthfull of chain shirt. (all miss)

Deos raises his crossbow and takes a shot (loading as a move action if necessary) at the small spider nearest him, taking care not to strike Semabin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-10-06, 10:46 PM
Kyle throws another stone. This one at least travels in the right direction, but still does not find its mark. magic stone (1d20-2=4, 1d6+1=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409299)
Deos fires his crossbow at the same spider. He comes very close, but his care to avoid Semabin causes a miss. crossbow (1d20-4=11, 1d8=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409303)
Fenwick readies and loads his crossbow.
The spider near Lupic tries to bite the half-orc, but manages only to snap at air.
As the large spider near Semabin lunges at him, the legs of the beast tear through the soft soil. The spider narrowly catches its balance. (natural 1).
The little spider that could bites again and once again gets through Semabin's defenses. bite (1d20+4=20, 1d4-2=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409308) His body continues to fight off the effects of the poison. save (1d20+5=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409309)

"Don't you have any manners?" Semabin curses at the small spider, and now concentrates his attacks on that beast.

Lupic will once again try to spike the nearest spider.

Lupic is able to punch through the spider's shell, severely wounding it. armor spike (1d20+7=15, 1d6+5=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409720)
The small spider evades Semabin's attacks. scimitars (1d20+0=9, 1d6+1=3, 1d20+0=1, 1d6=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=409722) The spiders seems to be always in the right (or wrong) place at the right time.
Kyle is next.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-11-06, 04:51 PM
Deos will continue to load and fire carefully at the spiders nearest him. He moves out of their reach before firing, if necessary.
OOC: Load and fire, 5' step before if necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle throws his last stone at the persistant spider. The shot is true and blows off two of the spider's legs. It appears badly staggered by the blow. magic stone (1d20-2=16, 1d6+1=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410243) (should have an additional +1 for strength)
The fletchings of the bolt Deos fires causing the arrow to flight to the left, no where near its target. crossbow (1d20-4=-3, 1d8=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410245) (I'm running of discriptions for natural 1's)
Fenwick just misses putting the spider out of its misery. crossbow (1d20-2=13, 1d6=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410247)
The spider Lupic hit breaks off moving to the tree at E11 and scuttling up into the branches.
The small spider near Semabin moves away as well, but Semabin is able to dispatch the staggered spider before it gets away. attack of opportunity (1d20+0=15, 1d6+1=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410252)
The large spider continues to fight and sinks its fangs into Semabin's arm. bite (1d20+4=18, 1d6=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410253) Semabin's fortitude fights off the poison's initial effects yet again. bite (1d20+5=13, 1d4=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=410254)

Kyle growls in disgust at his poor aim with the stones and pulls his skillet from his backpack. He stalks forward ready to swat at the closest spider with his pan.
OOC: Skillet +1 1d6+1 20/x2
P.S. I don't think I like you rolling the dice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-12-06, 08:24 PM
Feeling sore from the bites, Semabin shakes his head to concentrate, then assaults the larger spider still within reach.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
buzzard04-13-06, 03:12 PM
Lupic will continue trying to dispatch the spider with his spikes.
buzzard

SlagMortar04-15-06, 10:50 PM
Lupic crashes over to Semabin's side, but is unable to stick the spider. armor spike (1d20+7=9, 1d6+5=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=412494)
Semabin is also unable to injure the spider. scimitars (1d20+0=10, 1d6+1=7, 1d20+0=8, 1d6=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=412498)
Kyle moves over while drawing his skillet. He steps through the bushes and over the collapsed spider.
Deos fires his crossbow, but his shot flies wide. crossbow (1d20-4=5, 1d8=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=412500)
Fenwick fire as well with the same result. crossbow (1d20+2=5, 1d6=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=412502)
The spider bites at Semabin again, its fangs kept at bay by the chainmail.

D20Dazza04-17-06, 06:36 AM
Kyle swings his skillet at the large spider before him "Keep an eye out for some fennel" he yells to his companions as the battle rages around him "I know a good recipie for spider stew and fennel is an important ingredient"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-17-06, 11:05 PM
Lupic steps around the spider so as to flank with Kyle. He drives an armor spike into the spider's back. armor spike (1d20+9=26, 1d6+5=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=415050)

The spider, severly wounded and surrounded, turns on Lupic. bite (1d20+4=21, 1d6=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=415074) The fangs bite into Lupic, but his body fights off the effects of the poison. saving throw (1d20+5=20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=415080)

Soon after combat, the final effects of the poison fades from Lupic and Semabin. Lupic shrugs off the poison saving throw (1d20+5=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=415090). Semabin feels a weakening wash over his limbs as the adrenalin fades from his body. saving throw, DC 10, 10, 12 (1d20+5=17, 1d20+5=25, 1d20+5=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=415093). saving throw, DC 10, 10, 12 (1d20+5=17, 1d20+5=25, 1d20+5=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=415093)

Knight Otu04-19-06, 09:42 PM
"I took a few bites as well, and I feel a bit heavy and weak..."
As a matter of fact, the poisoning has moved Semabin into a medium load.

Kyle says a prayer over Lupic, closing the bite wound.

"So" the fat dwarf says his blubbery jowls shaking in time to his words "I guess it's the farmhouse then eh? Lead away Lupic. This Klosterman has caused me way too much trouble"
OOC: SM, please buy new dice

IcyCool04-20-06, 04:46 PM

)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-22-06, 04:42 AM
OOC: Yeah, but they've taken a downturn. And my rolls for Planus in Slaves of the Dragon haven't been the greatest either. Them's the breaks.
Are any more healing spells used?
Current status:
Semabin (3 Strength damage, 7 hitpoints damage)
Lupic (1 hitpoint damage)
---------------------------------------------------------------
After defeating the spiders, the group continues along the path. Semabin is slowed by the weaking of his limbs, but is able to keep pace with the group due to the shorter legged members of the party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-22-06, 11:13 PM
Semabin felt aweful. Heavy. Slow. He had always taken some pride in his speed and grace, he realized, and now they were gone. He wished he could just drop some of his gear, but everything was important. He didn't even know if this weakness would ever go away again.
Horrible. Weak. Clumsy. He didn't slow down the group, but he hardly noticed that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-24-06, 11:49 AM
Seeing how much Semabin had been affected by the spider's bite Kyle moves over to him "I apologise stout warrior, I thought that friend Deos was going to call upon his own healing skills to help you" the fat dwarf says "Looks like the blessing of Geoth is what you really need" Kyle finishes with a chuckle as he looks over to where Deos stands with a smug 'my-God-is-better-than-yours' look on his face.
OOC: giving up his Shield of Faith for a CLW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-24-06, 02:29 PM
OOC: Semabin is healed 1d8+1=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=424590) points and is now at 4 damage. I would have NPC'd Deos since he indicated he was willing to heal, except Semabin did not request it. Perhaps I should email the host of Invisible Castle and see if he is tracking my IP to give me all bad rolls.
IC:
The group continues along the path deeper into the forest. An occasional spider is seen, but none bigger than a hand. Finally, after another couple of miles, Deos and Kyle see an old farmhouse about 200 feet through the trees. It looks to be in a clearing with no trees within 40 feet of the house. As you get a little closer, you notice a small wisp of smoke ascending from the chimney. It appears the farmhouse is no longer abandoned. You do not immediately see any people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-24-06, 08:20 PM
I would have NPC'd Deos since he indicated he was willing to heal, except Semabin did not request it.
(So, post 327 doesn't count?
)"Thank you, Kyle."
Semabin watches the farmhouse for any further signs of activity. He's tempted to sneak forwards, but his weakness, his clumsyness discourage him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-25-06, 12:30 AM
OOC: I suppose it should have since it comes right after Deos's comment. Sorry about that. Would Semabin like another cure light wounds?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-25-06, 06:34 AM
"So there's someone home" the fat dwaf whispers to his friends "I'm not the tactician of this group, what should I do? Where will I be most effective"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-25-06, 03:26 PM
OOC: Sorry guys, I've had spotty access at best. Feel free to NPC me SlagMortar, I don't want to hold up the game.
Deos looks over Semabin's wounds after Kyle is finished. "It would appear that Geoth, or his servant, must be hungry, as this is still a nasty wound. Let's see what we can do about that." Deos intones a quiet prayer to Antonidas, and sends the holy power into Semabin's wounds.

As you wait for a few minutes trying to determine what to do, you see nothing more of the inhabitants.
OOC: I've been really busy lately so if anyone's been holding up the game its me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-26-06, 04:32 PM
Deos glances at his companions. "Well, I don't see anyone, do you? Shall we take a look inside?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-26-06, 08:34 PM
"It would appear that Geoth, or his servant, must be hungry, ..."
At these words, Semabin's eyes rush towards the wounds, to make sure Kyle didn't take a bite out while the warrior wasn't watching. "Uhm, thanks, you too. I think we, someone, maybe should sneak closer. Carefully. Wouldn't want to risk the child's life."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-27-06, 10:57 AM
"Sneak eh? the fat dwarf says as he watches the farmhouse, all the time rubbing his chin "Well I'm not the stealthiest but if you feel that's what I should be doing then, OK". Kyle hitches his pants up and quietly lowers his backpack and other equipment to the ground, he takes a couple of steps towards the house and then stops, turns and picks up his skillet, shoots a grin at his friends and starts to stealthily make his way towards the farmhouse.
OOC: H -1 MS -1
I'm hoping that, when someone sees him, the ridiculousness of a short obese chef, with skillet, creeping thrpugh the undergrowth will ummm.... (c'mon the picture is priceless

While still a good distance from the house Lupic will shrug his shoulders making a clinking sound. "Me not so sure I sneak. Maybe someone who sneak good go look, we come if need".
buzzard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool04-27-06, 04:02 PM
"I'm going to have to agree with Lupic here. Kyle, perhaps you should wait with us while Semabin or Fenwick sneak up to take a look. You two seem to be our stealthiest associates."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-28-06, 03:13 AM
Fenwick says, "Well, I'm really more of a socialite. But, if no one else thinks they can do it, I can give it a try."
OOC: I'm assuming that Kyle stopped at Deos's words. However, if he wants to keep going, that's fine by me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D20Dazza04-28-06, 09:13 AM
Kyle pulls up short a couple of steps away from the party. He turns, a sad look upon his face, his bottom lip trembles as he says "You don't want me going, that's OK I understand" he then shuffles back to his backpack, opens it, thrusts his hand in and pulls out a large, slightly fluffy chicken leg which her forlornly munches on as he watches Fenwick's progress towards the farmhouse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu04-29-06, 11:59 PM
"I fear, in my condition, wouldn't be stealthy, too much, that is..."
(Move Silently +0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar04-30-06, 12:41 AM
Fenwick creeps up to the house trying to use what little cover is available to the best of his ability. As he gets near the window and is about to look in, the door opens and a man bursts out and grabs Fenwick in a headlock (surprise round). It looks as though the man is about to drag Fenwick into the cottage, but his footing slips slightly causing a delay.

Semabin rushes forward, drawing his scimitars. Through the open door, Semabin sees a small entryway.
Lupic is able to enter the grapple and grab Fenwick's attacker, gouging (6 damage) him with an armor spike. As Lupic grabs him, the man yells, "There's more!"
Fenwick tries to break free, but is unable to do so.
Kyle is up.

Kyle runs towards the house, in his left hand is the skillet but, in the excitement of the moment, he brandishes the chicken leg he has been muching on that is held in his right "Surrender bandits, or in the name of Geoth there will be a reckoning" he cries as he plods forward as fast as he can.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Otu05-02-06, 06:50 PM
"No killings yet, if possible!" Semabin calls out to Lupic. He'll try to dodge into the house as fast as possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IcyCool05-02-06, 09:53 PM
Deos rushes forward and heads to the left of the building. "There are more of them inside. Try to make sure they don't escape!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SlagMortar05-03-06, 03:21 PM
Kyle moves forward with a bellow.
The grappled opponent twists in an unexpected way and pulls free of Lupic's grasp 1d20+2=18, 1d20+9=10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=437817). He takes a step back to clear some room and draws a handaxe from his belt.
Two more opponents come out through the front door provoking an AoO from Semabin (Does he take it?). The first through (P) wears padded armor and somewhat awkwardly carries a long spear. The other (R) wears a chain shirt and appears much more competent with the long sword in his hands. Both strike at Semabin ineffectually.
Lupic and Fenwick also spot two more coming around the side, one with a battle axe (T) and the other (U) with a long bow. There must be a back entrance as well.

OOC: Icycool, you can change Deos action if you wish. His position reflected in the map assumes you do not. The small dd is the door which is currently open. Sorry for the slow update.

As the longspear man dashes out of the house, Semabin raps him on the head with the flat of his blade, nearly knocking the man unconscious.

Kyle takes a 5' step forward and swings the chicken leg at the man in padded armour "Lay down your arms, we mean you no harm"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Is Semabin still trying to get in the door?

Lupic will attempt to re-grapple the man who pulled the hand axe. He will also ignore the calls for non lethal combat.

Deos circles back to the front of the house, mutters out a few words in Auran, "Fel'ewin honeth" and hurls a glowing golden dart at the man in the chain shirt.

OOC: Looks like the cache missed KO's last post. I believe it was a single non-lethal attack on the enemy with the sword. However, note that the spear wielder was "nearly" knocked unconscious not actually knocked out.

OOC: Nope, that's why I asked. If I thought he knew what was good for him, I would just have gone ahead it.
I will post an update later tonight.

The man wielding the longsword responds to Kyle between sword swings, "If you were here to chat, you could have knocked."
Semabin strikes at R. scimitar (non-lethal) (1d20+3=15, 1d6=5) He is able to land a solid blow. He then tumbles into the house. tumble (1d20+4=8) He is unable to avoid a swift strike from his opponent. sword strike (1d20+4=17, 1d8+3=6) Stepping into the house, Semabin finds himself in a small entryway with open doors leading left, right, and center. Through the center door, he sees a small room with another open door to the outside. (Semabin can enter any of the three rooms he wishes.)
Lupic attempts to regrapple O. grapple (1d20+7=10, 1d20+11=22, 1d20+2=3, 1d6+5=7) Lupic barely catches the collar of his shirt, but that is enough and he pulls him into a hug against his armor spikes. The man drops limp in his arms.
Fenwick begins an encouraging song, instilling a sense of confidence in his companions (+1 to attack and damage).
Kyle swings the chicken leg at the man in padded armor and actually finishes knocking him unconscious. chicken leg (1d20-2=16, 3=3) (LOL, peasants).
R decides Lupic is the greatest threat and steps over to swing at the big half-orc. long sword (1d20+4=18, 1d8+3=10) He strikes a powerful blow, cleaving into Lupic.
T moves in readying a shield on the way. He also makes an attack at Lupic, and it is a telling blow. battle axe (1d20+3=22, 1d8+2=9) (Lupic total damage 19 - staggered)
U takes two shots at Fenwick. bow shot (1d20+5=18, 1d8+3=6) Fenwick narrowly dodges the first due to the shot being into melee (not included here). bow shot (1d20+1=3, 1d8+3=11) The second shot misses as well.
Deos mumbles arcane words and a magic missle streaks into R. He is beginning to look wounded.
Next up Semabin. Does Deos wish to use his move action to move closer to the rest?

Deos moves closer to the swirling melee, spits into his hand, and flings his hand towards R shouting, "Hassah!" A small globule of acid flies from his hand toward his target.
