Arrival at Westgate:ADM Ceil Monday November 25th, 2002 9:02:07 AM
The trip to the Centaurs Isle is uneventful, The sea is calm. Once the group arrives in Westgate, Startail tells the group that they can start out immediatly or they can spend the rest of the day resting and set out in the morning. Though they are willing to rest, Stargate seem eager to set out right away. It takes the group most of the day to get to Pine's Bluff. They arrive just at dusk and on the out skirts of the village they find a group of Minotaurs being attack by a pack of gouls. Before you arrive you can hear the noise of the battle. This is Proudhorn's group, which consists of a total of 10 minotaurs, (six of whom are paralysed) while the other four are back to back defending themselves from eight gouls, with several others lying dead on the ground.
(You'll be suprising them Please put your AC and HP in the name line on your next post.)
Brahmah (59 HP, AC 21*22 dodging*) d20+14=30 2d4(2+4)+9=15 Monday November 25th, 2002 8:27:27 PM
The warrior wastes little time getting to the nearest ghoul (Dodging it, AC 22). As he charges at the ghoul (AC drops to 20 for a round versus that ghoul, 19 for the others), he draws his Falchions, howling in minotaur speech, "The Chosen are here!" He raises a Falchion and comes down on a ghouls head hitting AC 30, for 15 damage.
Ceira (AC 16, 21hp) d4+1=3 d4+1=2 Monday November 25th, 2002 10:12:00 PM
Since the fighters will get to the ghouls fairly quickly, Ceira spots a ghoul farthest from The Chosen and will unleash a pair of Magic Missles (5 dmg)
Kenisha (AC 22, 41 HP) Monday November 25th, 2002 11:08:08 PM
Kenisha stays back and casts Mage Armor on herself, watching to make sure no other ghouls are coming around to their backsides.
Flat-top AC 19 - HP 60 d20+19=30 d8+10=17 Tuesday November 26th, 2002 3:26:26 AM
After they disembark from the ship, Startail wants to push on to Pine Bluff. As the party nears Pine Bluff they hear a battle noises. They go over the rise in the path and they see the scene below. "Somebody's in trouble, Let's go." Yells Flat- top as he charges in to battle. Attacking the first ghouls he comes to.
OOC attack 30 - Damages 17
Brahmah Tuesday November 26th, 2002 3:35:51 AM
OOC: Map or Diagram?
Taric ( AC 16, 32 hp) Tuesday November 26th, 2002 3:50:51 AM
Approaching the village Taric sees the dangerous situation. He takes his crossbow from his shoulder and loads it, preparing it for his next action.
"Who Is Telling the Trouth? Suspion?"ADM Ceil Tuesday November 26th, 2002 10:03:08 AM
The Chosen Ones and Startail charges in and make short works of Ghouls. After the fight you heal and unparalyzes the monotaurs. Startail demands to know as to why Proudhorn and his group are on the Isle. Proudhorn (looking none to happy) says he's looking for a thief that stole something from his family and has traced the thief to this village. He also says that the Centaur Counsil knows of his presence and has permission to be on the Island. Startail says that he has no knowlage of this. Startail tell the Chosen "Watch the minotaurs while I returns to Westgate to get word from the Counsil to conferm Proudhorn's claim." Startail whispers to Brahmah, "If you want to make those Minotaurs happy, you all can investigate Pine's Bluff graveyard while your waiting for me. I think it will take me only a week to go and come back. I don't like this at all."
Brahmah Tuesday November 26th, 2002 7:38:02 PM
OOC:How many minoTaurs are there?
Brahmah simply knods at Startail.
"Who's the leader of this Proudhorn troop?" Asks Brahmah in minoTaur speech to the group. He steps proudly up to the group of minoTaurs. "I'm Brahmah, leader of the Chosen, who's your leader? We should all search for this thief. What was stolen? We are here to investigate the theft of cenTaur graveyards. Are our graveyards at MinoTaur Isle being dug up too?"
(The leader of the Minotaurs Is Proudhorn and there are 10 Minotaurs in his group.)
Taric Tuesday November 26th, 2002 8:53:25 PM
Taric keeps his distance with the other minoTaurs, not sure what to think of them. He keeps his eyes on them though and keeps the loaded crossbow still in his hands, making sure his captain will be safe.
Keeping his ears and eyes open, Taric listens to anything they will discuss.
Flat-top Wednesday November 27th, 2002 12:02:58 AM
Flat-top walks up behind Brahnah, to show the minotaurs the unity of the group, But he does have his Morning Star in hand.
Ceira Wednesday November 27th, 2002 1:54:36 AM
Ceira keeps her distance from the Minotaurs and waits for answers to Brahmah's questions.
Kenisha d20+3=20 Wednesday November 27th, 2002 7:39:20 AM
Kenisha stays behind the others and observes the confrontation between Proudhorn and Startail. She looks to divine who is telling the truth. (Sense Motive Check=20)
"And the Dead Rises" ADM Ceil d20=2 Wednesday November 27th, 2002 11:26:40 AM
Kenisha since that Proudhorn is not telling the whole truth.
"So Your the Leader of the Chosen? What was your name again? We were on our way to Pine's Bluff grave yard, to see if the thief is buried there. The name of the Thief is Woneblack Hoof." Said Proudhorn.
The chosen and the Ten Minotaurs set off to the near by Pine's Bluff graveyard to investigate, and it's exactly the way Startail describe it. The graves look like the dead dug their way out of their graves, the bodies lying a few feet away from their respective resting places. Its impossible to find any tracks leading in any particular direction, though there are centaur and minotaur hooves prints in the area. Once Proudhorn notice that your party notices the hoof prints, the Leader of the minotaurs tells you,"We were pursuing a cleric of Ga'al who stole the Crown of Heart, a sacred relic of Domi." Proudhorn also tell you, " The Crown was given to the minotaurs by Domi, and that it has the power to unite all of Domi's children." As the Chosen and Proudhorn are questioning each other, a villager comes running up to all of you and tells the you that the dead are rising and attacking the villagers. When the Chosen arrive they find a massive amount of undead attacking the villagers, though as soon as the chosen arrive they stop attacking the villagers and move to attack the Chosen.
There are 20 zombies and 20 skeletons.
(Have fun my pretties)
Leets Wednesday November 27th, 2002 11:29:14 AM
The Centaur Paladin is cleaning his sword, thoughtful. The dark blood of the ghouls stains his piece of cloth, and thinks for some time before talking.
"Brahmah, last time I came, people were not attacked by ghouls when they were traveling on the road...I feel darker events behind the foul presence of those undeads...I think it would be very strange if such creatures were lurking around while there are...you know, this kind of events at the graveyard."
"I would like to get a look at Pine's Bluff quickly...to get a first feeling of the place, and perhaps begin our investigations. As for myself, I see nothing agaisnt the Minotaurs coming with us. After all, we don't know what we'll find at the graveyard..."
Taric d20+5=20 2d6(1+5)=6 Wednesday November 27th, 2002 4:08:14 PM
Taric is shocked to see more undead attacking innocents, but quickly calms himself. Taking a deep breath, he aims at the closest zombie and shoots.
While walking back to keep some distance between the foul creatures and himself, he quickly puts in another bolt, ready to fire again.
OOC: to hit = 20 damage = 6
Brahmah d20+12=19 2d4(4+3)+9=16 Wednesday November 27th, 2002 6:41:11 PM
The minoTaur draws both of his Falchions with large sigh as he moves to meet the nearest undead to him.
He swings at the unnatural creature with little effort, hitting AC 19 for 16 damage.
He prepares to waste the rest of the undead without a second thought. He seems bored with the undead already.
Kenisha (Mage Armor if still up) d4+1=4 d4+1=4 d4+1=3 Thursday November 28th, 2002 4:40:42 AM
Staying behind everyone else, Kenisha intones the magic words, "Shev-Pak Newal" and sends three magic missiles out from her hands. The first two aim directly at the second skeleton closest to the Chosen (for 8 HP of damage). The thirst missile hits the third closest skeleton (for 3 HP of damage).
She also triest to keep an eye on Proudhorn's group if possible.
Leets d20+4=10 2d6(2+5)+7=14 Thursday November 28th, 2002 5:52:04 AM
Leets listen to Proudhorn with interest. He had heard of the crown, but thought those were only tales for children. During the battle that occured between his tribe and the Minotaurs, he often had heard the Minotaurs claiming they had the holy relic, but he also thought it was just to make their opponents angry. Now, all was different.
The worst fear of Leets become true as they arrive in the village seeing so many opponents gathering around the Chosen, Leets prepares to support his friends.
By his side, his dog Managarm almost glows as he growls and seems ready to jump to any undead coming close enough...
"By Domi's name and all the Gods of good will!!! I shall not tolerate that dead who should be peacefully sleeping can now walk the land of the living!"
Leets, bearing his magic shield in one hand, on which can be seen Domi's holy words, and holding high over his head the wooden holy symbol he crafted himself, calls the power of Domi's clerics.
"Allmighty Domi! Father of all Taurs! Don't allow your fallen children to be raised like puppets by evil forces! Bring them back to their peaceful rest, and protect the living form the foul creatures that threaten them!"
OOC:Trying to turn undeads: Charisma check: 10...poor. As a paladin of 5th level, Leets can affect an undead with a maximum of 3HD (like a cleric of 3rd level if I remember well..). Turning damage: 14.
Ceira d20+3=14 d8=6 Thursday November 28th, 2002 10:25:48 AM
Ceira is abhored by the terror running rampant amongst the innocent. She follows Tauric's lead and fires a crossbow bolt at the nearest zombie. (OOC: Hit AC 14 for 6 dmg)
Flat-top d20+14=21 d20+14=15 d20+17=33 d8+8=11 d4+4=6 d4+4=6 Thursday November 28th, 2002 11:10:35 AM
Flat-top doesn't move Swing with all of his might and uses both of his front hoves. They go down so easy that it's un natural. But they kepp coming. "Captain, tell Proudhorn to take his men to the left side of us."
"What? Where are They" ADM Ceil Thursday November 28th, 2002 11:48:23 AM
Brahmah they are coming in front of you, swing there arms and bone of skeletal hands Not even coming close to you Taurs.(you have killed 3 of the undead)
Kenisha has hit not only one but Two of the zombies. But she is the first one to find Proudhorn and his men are gone, leaving you with this mess.
Leets destroys 2 ghouls and turns 14 Ghouls to lifeless pile of rotting bodies. Managran bites and shakes a skeleton to pieces.
Ceira misses the last ghoul BUT hits 2 skeletons with one arrow.
Flat-top Hits and destroys a skeleton with his Morning Star and 2 more with his hooves, they just go down and fall apart.
Now that you have stop 19 zombies and 6 skeletons. That leaves 1 zombie and 14 Skeletons. Coming at you head on and going for the villagers too.
Bet you cannot get the rest.
Brahmah d20+8=19 d20+8=23 2d4(1+1)+9=11 2d4(2+4)+9=15 Thursday November 28th, 2002 3:46:28 PM
None to happy about the 'Proudhorns' bolting away from the undead, Brahmah frowns as he sees them run. "Dishonorable cowards!"
Brahmah strikes out at a couple more 'unnatural ones'. Hitting AC's 19 and 23 for 11 and 15 damage respectively.
Flat-top Friday November 29th, 2002 9:08:24 AM
"What? Who? Proudhorn? and his Taurs? Wait ti'll I'm done with these Bone heads?" As Flat-top swing and kicks away at these Bone Heads.
Kenisha Friday November 29th, 2002 10:47:09 PM
Kenisha again shouts out "Shev-Pak Newal!" This time sending the three missiles to three different skeletons.
She also shouts to the villages for them to run.
Ceira Monday December 2nd, 2002 12:50:24 AM
Ceira will take aim at any skeletons that are nearest the villagers. If the shot is blocked, she will take aim at the next nearest who is clear.
If any enemy closes in within 40ft of her, she will not shoot and fall back.
Taric d20+5=21 2d6(2+5)=7 d20=13 Monday December 2nd, 2002 1:15:57 AM
Shooting at the nearest zombie, Taric shoulders his crossbow, looking in the direction Proudhorn's group was seen last. He moves over to that very spot and from there will look in the most logical direction to go, probably away from the undead.
OOC: to hit AC = 21 damage = 7 spot = 13
Silence(dm sam) Monday December 2nd, 2002 10:20:24 PM
as suddenly as the undead appear and attack, they stop. all of them stand around for a moment, then collapse to the ground. its as if they were only animated for a reason, and that they accomplished it. the night is silent. there is no movement
Kale d20+10=20 Monday December 2nd, 2002 10:24:05 PM
"This doesnt seem right." Kale says as he goes to the nearest zombie and inspects him to make sure he's not moving.(search of 20)
Brahmah d20-1=14 Tuesday December 3rd, 2002 12:54:26 AM
Brahmah gets this look as if something hit him in the face, a look of total comprehension crosses his face. "THE PROUDHORN!! FIND THEM NOW, IT'S THEM!! FIND THEM! THEY MAY HAVE DONE THIS FOR A REASON, A DISTRACTION! Move!"
He begins to look for the tracks of the Proudhorn (Wilderness Lore 14). He begins running around, back and forth, looking in the direction of where they may have gone.
Kenisha d20+3=22 Tuesday December 3rd, 2002 1:00:59 AM
"I bet they went to the cemetary." Kenisha says grimly as she looks about for any sign of them.
ooc: Spot check = 22 to find the Proudhorn group
Flat-top Tuesday December 3rd, 2002 4:23:05 AM
"That was the fastest fight I've been in" wonders Flat-top, and is off to search for any signs of them.
Leets Tuesday December 3rd, 2002 6:04:28 AM
"Whoever is responsible for this, we must find him or her! Managarm, search my dog, search!"
Leets will try to detect evil, to guess where can be the one who raised the undeads. Managarm will just do the same.
Taric Wednesday December 4th, 2002 2:20:51 AM
Taric continues his search for the Proudhorn group, silently looking for the best possible route they might have taken.
Upon hearing the suggestion of Kenisha, Taric nods.
"Yes, I think you might be right there Kenisha. But what could they be looking for in there?"
Proudhorn(dm sam) Wednesday December 4th, 2002 5:34:20 AM
while Kale makes sure the undead are truely not animater, the others begin to search for the group of minotaurs. they dont have far to search as the group of minotaurs also rushed out to defend the village. they too look surprised at the sudden unanimation of the skeletons and zombies. about half of the group start to preform some ceremoney while the other half seems to be guarding them. though they look in the Chosen's direction, they seem content at staying where they are.
Kale Wednesday December 4th, 2002 5:36:17 AM
sheathing his weapons, Kale kicks the body and says. "They're dead again." then he gazes over at the other group of minotaurs, wondering if they are friends or foes
Brahmah Wednesday December 4th, 2002 6:06:59 AM
Brahmah rushes up and stands dumb-founded looking at the Proudhorn. Thinking to himself, 'Are they truly friends? Or am I going to have to kill another Taur that is dishonest?' He groans at the thought. "Proudhorn, we must stay together and deal with this problem, if we go running off with no word to the other group, bad things will happen." He scowls at the Proudhorn leader.
Suddenly, a small goblin comes bouncing up with a medium sized box and hands it up to Brahmah. Speaking in common, "Sssir, you leaved behind thees. Cambridge sssay you be mad not get it! Here iss." He smiles a toothy grin. Brahmah looks down at the goblin. "OH!! I can't believe I forgot it. Thank you!" The warrior digs around inside his pack and pulls out a gold piece and hands it to the goblin. The small reptilian fellow hops off saying, "Sank you sssir!"
The Chosens leader opens the box in the middle of the village and pulls out a black snake-skin cloak, slings it over his shoulders and smiles. "It fits great! Can't wait to try it out."
He looks back at the Proudhorn, not forgetting their disgression earlier.
Flat-top Wednesday December 4th, 2002 9:58:32 AM
Flat-top Look around and wonders about the Proudhorn gang, Flat-top clops over to Leets, "Can you tell if what these minotaurs are good or evil? I'm begining to wonder about them." Looking at Brahmah Cape, "HMM! Looking Good, Taur, Looking Good."
Kenisha d20+3=13 Wednesday December 4th, 2002 11:07:35 PM
Kenisha stays near the other Chosen, but she watches the Proudhorn group carefully as Brahmah talks to them, hoping to spot anything that could help tell of they are behind the undead or not.
ooc- Sense Motive=13
Taric Thursday December 5th, 2002 12:41:06 AM
Taric stays close to Brahmah and the other Chosen, not sure what to think of everything. He knows for sure though he will do anything to protect their leader and the other Chosen.
As a precaution, he starts concentrating on which spell to select from his memory, just to make sure he is ready for anything.
Ceira d20+8=22 Thursday December 5th, 2002 1:28:58 AM
Still cautious, Ceira hangs in the back of the group but maneuvers enough to get a good look at the minotaurs. She will attempt to study the ceremonial gestures they are using. (Spellcraft=22)
Leets d20+8=24 Thursday December 5th, 2002 4:15:40 AM
Leets rubs his dog's head while looking at the group of Minotaurs...
"I don't know Flat-Top, my feelings are not very clear about this group..."
"However, we shouldn't make a mistake and judge those by their race. I'd better try to guess what kind of ritual they arer performing..."
Leets then gets closer, and looks at the ceremony (Knowledge: Religion: 24).
Standoff?(dm sam) Thursday December 5th, 2002 6:03:35 PM
the Chosen gather together and study the minotaur group while they continue to do their ceremonies. Kenisha isnt sure what they are doing, but Leets and Ceira are able to figure out that it has something to do with putting spirits to rest. though the group contiunes to move from body to body, they give the Chosen a wide berth
Kale Thursday December 5th, 2002 6:05:07 PM
"They seem harmless, but looks can be deceiving." Kale says. "So, whos going to go over and talk with them?"
Brahmah d20-2=4 d20-1=9 Thursday December 5th, 2002 8:03:39 PM
Brahmah begins to walk over to the proudhorn, "Come on Leets, lets talk to them."
Reaching the group, Brahmah begins his level diplomacy(4). "What are you doing to those corpses? Let's take them back to the graveyard and return them to rest." He just shakes his head at the sight (trying to remember if he seen anything like that before Int check 9).
Kenisha d20+3=15 d20+9=26 Thursday December 5th, 2002 11:31:17 PM
Kenisha trots over to where one of the corpses had fallen. She looked at it, hopeing to find some clue as to why this was happening. Why did they fall over after having been animated from their rest? It didn't make any sense.
(ooc- Spot Ceck to look over the body= 15, Spellcraft check to figure out how and why it was animated= 26)
Taric Friday December 6th, 2002 12:27:46 AM
Taric is still not sure what he exactly had been seeing. Following the others closely, he tries to imprint these new images into his mind so he might learn from thse experiences.
Ceira d20+4=12 Friday December 6th, 2002 1:34:14 AM
Although the zombies and skeletons have collapsed, Ceira will continue to stay away from the bodies. "It would be a clever ruse to make it LOOK like they collapsed." she mumbles to herself. She makes a general scan of the vicinity (Spot=12).
Flat-top Friday December 6th, 2002 10:01:58 AM
Flat-top watches the minotaurs perform their ceremony, as he follows Kale and Brahmah. "I don't like this, I don't like the ones who are standing guard. They seem to be waiting for a good fight." Flat-top takes his Morning Star from around his neck, and checks his hooves knuckles and tell himself *Yep! I'm ready to kick butts.*
Chatting(dm sam) Monday December 9th, 2002 2:48:16 AM
as Kale, Brahmah, and Flat-Top move towards the group, Brahmah doesnt seem to notice anything paticular about the rituals. they seem to be just ordinary blessings. as they approach, two of the minotaurs move from their group and meet the taurs. one of them is dressed in clerical robes which cover some kind of armour underneath. in one hand he carries a large metal shield with three spikes protruding from the center. hanging on his belt there is a morning start with some kind of runes etched on the shaft. also, on his neck, there hangs a clerical symbol of Domi. the other minotaur is dressed in dark leather armor with metal studds embedded in it. across his back is a huge longbow and a quiver of arrows. two battle axes rest easily on each of his hip. "You call our group the Proudhorns, when in reality im the only one that goes by that name." the minotaur wearing the clerical robes says. "I know your suppost to guard us, but let us finish putting the spirits of the dead to rest. If its not done, they may yet again rise." while Brahmah and the others talk with the minotaurs, Ceira and Kenisha are not able to asertain any useful information about the bodies animating and then stopping
Kale Monday December 9th, 2002 2:52:14 AM
though he's listening to what Proudhorn says, Kale is more interested in his companion. "Whats your name?" Kale asks the leather dressed minotaur
Flat-top Monday December 9th, 2002 11:24:23 AM
"That's not the half of it Captain." Flat-top said, "There uniforms and shields are made for bashing. Nope I don't like this one bit."
Brahmah Monday December 9th, 2002 8:00:31 PM
The minoTaur just simply looks at the two Taurs and says, "I'm just very interested in the ritual..." He moves past the two Taurs intent on looking more closely at the bodies. "...so, if you don't mind, my friends and I would like to get a closer look. We could understand more about the ritual if you let us get closer." Almost as an after thought , Brahmah adds, "Yes, I call you the 'Proudhorns' because your the ONLY one who has been polite enough to introduce himself! Your respectable at least." Then Brahmah, without another thought, breezes past the cleric to get a closer look.
(If 'Proudhorn' raises arms against Brahmah, note: Brahmah does in fact have his hand clinching the hilt of his Falchion, a natural posture for the warrior.)
Kenisha Monday December 9th, 2002 11:10:57 PM
Kenisha smiles to herself as Brahmah bandied words with Proudhorn. After he moves past the cleric, Kenisha appraches closer, but still about 10 ft away. "What do you call your group, if I may ask?" she queries politely.
Ceira Tuesday December 10th, 2002 1:37:36 AM
"That is very noble of you for a priest of Domi." Ceira comments to Proudhorn. "I'm not accustomed to seeing minotaurs dabble in arcane or divine magic and rituals. In my life, I have only been exposed to the brute-strength-type of minotaur so that has been my stereotype. I knew minotar clerics and mages existed... just never met one."
Taric Tuesday December 10th, 2002 3:54:19 AM
Listening intently to everything that's been said, Taric can hardly suppress a silent "Hrmmph" when Ceira talks about never having met a minotaur mage.
Not wanting to be distracted though, he lets it be for now and concentrates on more important matters, protecting the Chosen.
Leets Tuesday December 10th, 2002 7:26:36 AM
"It's ok Brahmah..."
Says Leets finishing to look closer to the details of the ritual.
"I wouldn't have done better myself in fact!"
The young paladin look really serious as he solemnly bows before Proudhorn.
"I'm Leets Talric of the Talric tribe, brother Proudhorn, Paladin of Domi. I can only see evidences of Domi's own hand in your actions and your quest is very honorable if you've chosen to give rest to those souls. Now you can consider you've found an ally, because I don't think Domi would have put you in my way if it wasn't to help you."
"Please Brahmah, I think we should help them. Moreover, they are hunting undeads while we are investigating about those. I think we could learn much by joining our forces..."
Whats That?(dm sam) Tuesday December 10th, 2002 10:10:05 AM
as Brahmah walks past Proudhorn, the minotaur is about to say something to him, but suddenly he stiffens and pulls his morning star from his belt. "Did you all hear that?"(make spot check of 20 everyone)
Kale d20+7=21 Tuesday December 10th, 2002 10:11:29 AM
"I hear it too." Kale says as he pulls out his bow
Brahmah d20=2 Tuesday December 10th, 2002 10:28:22 AM
(Spot of 2, 3 if centaurs are involved)
Focusing on the task at hand, Brahmah entirely misses the sounds, however, being battle seasoned he hears the morning star and draws both Falchions.
"I hope that's not for me Taur!" The Captain turns to Proudhorn, then realizing the cleric isn't even facing him, Brahmah begins to look around.
Kenisha d20+3=16 Tuesday December 10th, 2002 12:26:27 PM
Kenisha goes on the defensive and looks around, but doesn't hear anything. "What is it? I hear nothing." she asks, making sure to keep the foreign taurs in her sights as she searches about.
Flat-top d20+1=21 Tuesday December 10th, 2002 1:25:43 PM
Yes, Kale, the sound come from there." said Flat-top as he draws his Morning Star from around his neck.
Taric d20=5 Tuesday December 10th, 2002 8:44:40 PM
Taric hears the commotion, but has no clue what's going on exactly.
Leets d20+3=23 Wednesday December 11th, 2002 4:34:23 AM
"We'll have to talk a little bit later, but for now..."
The young paladin suddenly draws his longsword, and faces the exact direction the noise comes from, ready for anything and trying to detect evil.
"...I'm afraid there is another kind of evil still lurking around!!!"
Ceira d20+4=8 Wednesday December 11th, 2002 9:38:50 AM
(OOC: Oops! All this time I mistakened Taric as a wemic! Spot=8)
Having been engrossed in the current conversation, Ceira is unable to detect the audible warning. "I didn't hear anything. Are you sure it wasn't my stomach? So when do we eat?"
Noises(dm sam) Wednesday December 11th, 2002 9:54:00 AM
those that noticed the noises hear a soft moaning coming from the wooded area to the right. though it hasnt gotten any louder, it remains constant and disturbing. "There may be more undead to put to rest." Proudhorn says to Brahmah. "Me and my men have used up our powers to turn them, but we still have our weapons. How do you want to approach this? Shall we charge them or wait for them or split up and attack?"
Kale Wednesday December 11th, 2002 9:55:36 AM
calling to the others, Kale says "There are some kind of creatures out there. Lets form up together and prepare a defence."
Brahmah d20=6 Wednesday December 11th, 2002 10:33:11 AM
(Spot of 6) "I think Kale's right, a perimeter of defense. Protecting the village. I don't think they think about tactics as much as us, but who wants to take that chance. I could be bait for them, go to the edge of the woods and taunt them with fresh meat. Being them back this way." The Taur warrior seems very serious about this point. (How many yards away is the wooded area? How is the village set up? Can a taur make it there and back in 3 rounds?)
(OOC: I'm assuming that the undead are Tauran in nature and not human, elf, etc...)
all the undead are centaurs actually. and the woods are 2 rounds away
Flat-top d20+1=21 Wednesday December 11th, 2002 12:35:06 PM
OOC: Flat-top made a sence movement role.
Flat-top Looks toward the woods and sniffs the air, just to see if there's movement to go along with the moaning noise. "I don't know maybe I should stay here and protect Proudhorn and his GROUP from all that noise." Flat-top stairs at the taur fighter. Not trusting his one bit and not wanting to turn his rump to him either.
Kenisha Wednesday December 11th, 2002 11:47:23 PM
Kenisha nods. "Good idea Brahmah, but be carefull. See if you can spot it, or them, foe they do."
Kenisha will take a spot next to Ceira and will get ready.
Leets Thursday December 12th, 2002 4:27:00 AM
"Whatever is in those woods, Brahmah, the two of us are ready to fight it!!! Aren't we Managarm?"
As if it was answering, the celestial dog barks as he stands ready to attack anything coming from the woods.
"And if this thing dares to try to walk the streets of this town, it will discover that Leets Talric of the Talric tribe was given enough by Domi to fight more than a single handful of undead the same day!"
Taric Thursday December 12th, 2002 7:36:44 AM
Following the way the others look, Taric is able to find out where the sound must be coming from.
"Oh no, not more fighting", he cannot help but exclaim softly.
Taking of his crossbow, he prepares by setting a bolt ready in it, just in case. He doesn't look happy about it all though.
More noise(dm sam) Thursday December 12th, 2002 8:52:46 AM
as the Chosen begin to gather together, Proudhorn and his silent companion run back over to their group. "We'll hold them here, then try to link up with you if we can. Good luck." Proudhorn yells as he leaves. His group forms in a circle about 150 feet to the right of the Chosen with their weapons drawn. about the time they assemble the moaning gets a bit louder and it seems more voices join in the moaning. it seems to be coming from the woods, though no one is able to sense any movement
Kale Thursday December 12th, 2002 8:55:07 AM
"Ill guard the casters." Kale tells Brahmah as he moves to where Ceira and Kenisha are. "If I see you need help, ill be there."
Flat-top Thursday December 12th, 2002 9:44:11 AM
"Captain! I think that those minotaurs are full of bull guava. So what do we do now?" Flat-top is getting angrier by the minute.
Ceira Thursday December 12th, 2002 9:47:15 AM
"One of us should follow them but still keep their distance. In case anything happens, there will at least be a chance to return here."
Brahmah, weighing decisions Thursday December 12th, 2002 4:39:23 PM
The Captain stands there, more and more frusterated with the other group.
"Olrighty, I'll tell you what we do. Kale, your the best to 'shadow' the Proudhorns to see what their up to. I think Flat-top is right, everything they've done and said has been very strange. Ceira, can you make a Taur, Kale, 'unseen' and/or 'unheard'?" Then the Captain gets smirks a bit and turns the Taric. "It's ALWAYS the quiet ones. Taric, can you make a Taur unseen and unheard, don't be shy, it's time to spill those secret my new friend."
(Brahmah can't ellaborate on the spells that may be used, because he's ABSOLUTELY unclear on what spells do what.)
(OOC: I would like invisibility and silence cast on Kale (or whoever follows the Proudhorns) and invisibility cast on Brahmah so that he can scout unseen, arial recon. :) I don't like splitting the party, but it looks like it has to be done.)
Ceira Thursday December 12th, 2002 11:03:29 PM
(OOC: It's taboo to post twice but let's not waste a day on logistics. I'll give him an invisibility potion I won from the Adventurer's Repose. This'll avoid the hassle of resending an updated character sheet.)
Ceira pulls out and hands a potion of Invisibility over to Kale. "Here you go!" She gives him a wink.
Taric Friday December 13th, 2002 2:23:33 AM
Taric can barely suppress a smile as Brahmah addresses him.
"Surely I can help you with that Brahmah. Making you unseen for the normal eye I can do for you. Making someone silent is not in my repertoire though."
Concentrating for a bit, Taric draws an intricate picture in the air with both hands while taking out some small components out of his pouch. Sprinkling the components on the ground Taric touches Brahmah while chanting softly.
"That should do it." Taric nods, satisfied their leader is now no more visible with regular means.
OOC: invisible for 40 minutes or till you take a directly offensive action, whichever is shorter.
Kenisha d20+2=22 Friday December 13th, 2002 7:40:21 AM
Kenisha stays at the ready and listens; trying to figure out what's making the noise.
ooc- Listen Check = 22
Whats coming(dm sam) Saturday December 14th, 2002 3:08:46 AM
after Taric casts his spell, Brahmah dissappears from view. as he fades from sight, the wailing coming from the forest begins to grow louder. Kenisha isnt able to tell what the wailing is, but she can tell that its getting closer. Proudhorn and his companion rejoin their group, and a moment later two arrows come shooting out of the forest and land about fifteen feet in front of them. a moment later two more arrows come flying out of the forest aimed at the Chosen, though thest too fall short of their target(everyone make a listen check of 20)
Kale d20+3=7 Saturday December 14th, 2002 3:11:08 AM
"Time to go to work!" Kale says with a smile on his face as he drinks the potion Ceira gave him. after he fades from view he begins to head over towards the minotaur group
Brahmah (Invisible, soon flying) d20-2=11 d20=11 d20-1=5 Saturday December 14th, 2002 5:44:29 AM
(Listen check 11)
Brahmah, being unaccustomed to not seeing his hand infront of his face, stands still for a moment to get his barings. After his momentary shock, Brahmah thinks to himself, 'Now, what's the word that goblin said to activate the Bat....hmmm.... oh yes!'
Then everyone hears Brahmah's voice, "Quezatl!"
Moments after that there's a small breeze and billows of dust and leaves wofted up in the area Brahmah had been standing. Slow, leathery beats of large wings can be heard.
Brahmah then flies toward the sound just under the tree canopy, 30' up and 60' feet toward the woods. He begins to look about for the sound, having seen the arrows fly, he quess-tamates where it may have come from (Spot of 11, Int check of 5).
Flat-top d20+3=23 Saturday December 14th, 2002 3:26:56 PM
Flat-top stands steady in front of the magic users and listen carefully (made my role 23). He hardly move when the arrows are shot their way. Still watching the group of Proudhorn. Telling himself *Just one wrong move, just one.*
Taric d20=1 Sunday December 15th, 2002 1:47:29 AM
Satisfied with his spell being succesful on their leader Taric notices the other Chosen react to something, but he doesn't understand why. Noting the reactions though, he pulls out his crossbow and loads it, just to be sure for anything.
OOC: a natural 1. Taric is completely deaf or something...
