Cleaning up(dm sam) Wednesday January 22nd, 2003 6:55:18 PM
as the Chosen heal some of their wounds and rested a bit, they spy a small group of centaurs coming from the village. most of them are bearing wounds, but they looked determined to defend their home. once they see the carnage that the Chosen causes they stop just outside their village. one of them, a centaur carrying a huge slegehammer, calls out "What happened? Are you all OK? Where are the other minotaurs?"
Brahmah (flying deactivate) 37 of 59 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 1:06:54 AM
OOC: WHAT ARE POTIONS? 1d8+1 or 1d8+3?
"Oh, where are the other minoTaurs? Who knows! They left into the woods, as far as I know, their probly dead... which would suit ME just fine. They ran at the beginning the frey."
Taric (21/32 hp) Thursday January 23rd, 2003 2:14:14 AM
Taric looks at the group of centaurs, but noting none of them bear lethal wounds he focuses back on the other Chosen. Hearing the outburst of their leader Brahmah, Taric approaches him, puts a hand on his shoulder and whispers: "I know what you mean Brahmah, but we have a better chance of solving this with our brains, not with our muscles."
Leets (12/58) Thursday January 23rd, 2003 4:18:06 AM
"I don't know either what happened to the others Minotaurs...But I'm curious about the village. You obviously were attacked too...This assault was planned and organized, we have to discover who is behind all that..."
OOC: I also have a cure moderatez wounds potion, but I don't know what are the dices, can somebody tell me?
Flat-top hp 60/31 d8+1=8 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 4:32:39 AM
Flat-top takes back his saddle bags from Ceira and find himself a vile of Cure Light Wounds (d8+1=8). "Ahh! that was better than Grassplain squeeze. As for our females they are so beautiful." Then as the Centaurs from the Village and talk to Brahmah, "Look girls! your resquers are here to save you." Flat-top laugh.
Brahmah (42 of 59) d8+1=3 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 5:16:59 AM
OOC: Leets was actually healed for 10 points, using 3 of Brahmahs potions.
Brahmah healed himself for 2 points.
IC: Brahmah takes yet another potion standing there disgusted by the actions of other minotaurs, "Gulp!" (3 points) "Taric, maybe your right. But if their already dead, I'll shed no tears."
"Anyone else need healing?"
Brahmah places the empties back into his box, where two potions of cure light remain.
Kenisha (36/41 HP) d8+1=6 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 7:48:44 AM
Seeing that there are potions-o-plenty, Kenisha decides to drink her own.
"The last I saw of the Minotaurs, they were fighting six zombies at the edge of the woods." Kenisha adds to the conversation. Turning to the villagers she asks, "Were you attacked from a different direction just now?"
Ceira (13/21hp) Thursday January 23rd, 2003 3:57:34 PM
"I think I will be okay as long as I stay away from the fray. I think it's more important for you all to regain your strength."
Kale Thursday January 23rd, 2003 8:56:27 PM
while the others talk with the centaurs Kale begins to look through the dead minotaur's possessions for any clues as to who they are and why they attacked.
Ironarm(dm sam) Thursday January 23rd, 2003 9:28:44 PM
"The other side of the village was attacked" the sledgehammer wielding centaur says, "Though you seem to of faced off with alot more zombies that we did." then he pauses, looks around, then says "My name is Ironarm. Im the town blacksmith. We suffered some losses on our battlefield. Did you suffer any?"
meanwhile, Kale, after a bit of searching, finds a symbol of Marteaus on each of the minotaurs. he also finds 5 potions(2 blue, 1 green, 1 red, and 1 orange), 3 scrolls, and an assortment of well made weapons. on each of the weapon the symbol of Marteaus is etched on the blade.
Kale Thursday January 23rd, 2003 9:30:52 PM
Kale picks up the potions, the scrolls, and one of the symbols and walks over to the group. "I found this on all the minotaurs." Kale says as he throws the symbol in the dirt. "I also found these." he says as he places the potions and scrolls on the ground. "Though I dont know what they do."
Brahmah (42 of 59) d8+1=4 d8+1=6 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 10:52:49 PM
"Ironarm, I'm Brahmah, current Leader and Captain of the Chosen of Domi! We almost suffered a great loss, but everything is well now." Glancing at Taric, Flat-top and Leets, each for a moment.
"Thanks Kale. Our ladies chould be given the scrolls and maybe Taric as well. The weapons..." The warrior Captain looks at each of the weapons. Not noticing any that catch his eye, (like a falchion or scimitar), he picks up and looks at one of the bladed weapons with a symbol on it. "What's this symbol? Looks evil to me!"
He glances at Taric for a moment, then raises an eyebrow. "Taric, my friend, are these weapons magical? What are the potions, friend?"
"Ceira lass, come here a moment." Grabbing the box from inside his pack once more, Brahmah hands the remaining two cure light potions to her. "Drink!" (10 points of healing back to Ceira)
"Leets, you still have that potion of yours? Drink it Taur." He smiles and winks at the paladin.
"Kale, would you sweep the perimeter of the village and check back after your done? Move fast and quickly, stay hidden." He looks thoughtfull for a moment, then takes Kale off to one side. He then whispers to the urban ranger, "Would you like to take my cloak, get an aerial view, return more quickly?" (Brahmah then tells him the activations words, if Kale decides to go on post combat recon...)
Kenisha (36/41 HP) d20+6=18 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 11:34:53 PM
Kenisha looks over the colored potions to see if she can determine what they are. (Alchemy check= 18)
To Brahmah she says with a shutter, "That mark is the symbol of Marteaus."
Taric (29/32 hp) d8+1=8 Thursday January 23rd, 2003 11:47:45 PM
Taric first drinks another potion as everybody seems to feel a lot better now.
Turning to Brahmah he responds: "Of course my friend. This will take a moment though."
Concentrating he looks at the items, trying to discern any signs of magic on them.
OOC: drinking a potion of CLW (8 hps healed). casting 'detect magic', concentrating for as long as needed, at least 1 minute.
Flat-top Friday January 24th, 2003 6:06:51 AM
"Those Symbols are the same as the etchings on the blades of their weapons. Do you think that the weapond are Curse?" Wonders Flat-top, Talking more to the whole party "I wonder as to why All the zombies??"
Leets (13/58) Sunday January 26th, 2003 1:07:49 PM
"I knew it!"
Says the centaur palading spiting on the ground when Kale brings back Marteaus' symbols.
"I felt Marteaus' putrid aura as soon as those undeads crossed our way! Do whatever you want with those weapons, but I don't even want to look at it, for they bear Marteaus' shameful symbol!"
"Brahmah...Marteaus' slayed our allmighty lord Domi - but hopefuly the true gods brought him back - and he dared to claim a place by the gods' side. A Chosen of Domi shouldn't carry such a weapon unless as a proof of Marteaus' bloody crimes!"
Leets obviously looks very upset as he talks of Marteaus, and must wait for a couple of minutes to calm down.
"As for the evil presence of Marteaus' clerics on the land of my ancestors, my only wish is to find Maldreen among them! This cursed witch fled last time we fought her, and she derserves the holy punishment reserved to her kind!"
Missing Centaurs(dm sam) Monday January 27th, 2003 9:03:20 AM
Taric's spell lights up the potions and the scrolls, but nothing else. after studying for a bit, Kenisha is unable to determine anything about any of the potions. as Brahmah starts giving orders Ironarm interups him by saying "Where are the centaurs I sent to help you? I dont see any of their bodies among the dead."
Kale Monday January 27th, 2003 9:08:22 AM
"No thanks." Kale says to Brahmah's offer "I dont really think im meant to fly." then Kale starts to leave unti he hears about the missing centaurs. he waits a moment to see if he's needed to find them
Flat-top Monday January 27th, 2003 11:39:09 AM
"Oh! No! Not that Witch Maldreen? Remember when we had a Run in at that Tavern she use to run? Remember what a hard time we had? She would raise the dead up faster than we could kill them." Flat-top tell the group, as he is cleaning his weapons. "Remember Kale? You must remember Kenisha? We Almost lost Ceira that day! And that witch would never have gotten away if it wasn't for her little pet in the cellar." You can see that Flat-top has it in for that Witch.
Brahmah (42 of 59) Monday January 27th, 2003 11:39:48 PM
The warrior looks around confused, first at Ironarm, then at Flat-top. Then glances again at the blade he was holding with the symbol of Marteaus on it (then breaks it over his knee, using power attack, maximum damage).
"Okay Kale. But you'll go scout, right?" Then looking at Ironarm, "Centaurs?"
Kenisha Tuesday January 28th, 2003 12:07:28 AM
Kenisha looks concerned as Ironarm mentions the missing centaur. "How many did you send and when?" she asks as she puts the potions in her pouch for safekeeping. It's never safe to leave unknown potions just lying about.
Taric (29/32) Tuesday January 28th, 2003 1:11:57 AM
Taric raises an eyebrow at the mention of missing centaurs. This doesn't bode too well.
Careful not to interrupt the ongoing conversation Taric makes sure he doesn't miss a second of it.
Leets Tuesday January 28th, 2003 7:36:53 AM
Leets nods when Brahmah breaks the blade on his knee.
"This is one good thing captain...Thank you!"
Then he looks at Flat-Top, shaking his head.
"Oh Flat-Top! I almost get sick when I know that this witch is running free in the Wold after killing so many innocents in the name of Marteaus! Don't tell me you wouldn't like her head a couple of feet away from her body! Especially because of what she did to Ceira!"
Missing Centaurs(dm sam) Tuesday January 28th, 2003 8:14:58 AM
"When the fighting began on the other side of the village, I sent four of our men over here to see if there was an attack on this side." Ironarm says to Brahmah. "I sent them around instead of through the village in order to flank any zombies they might of seen. You didnt see them?" a worried look crosses Ironarm's face. "My son was among them."
Kale d20+10=25 Tuesday January 28th, 2003 8:19:11 AM
Kale nods to Brahmah and runs off to begin searching for any sighs of zombies or their minotaur masters. he also searches for any signs of the missing centaurs(search check of 25)
Ceira Tuesday January 28th, 2003 9:40:37 AM
"What was your son wearing?" asks Ceira with a concerned look. "Does he have any distinguishing marks?"
After Ceira receives the descriptions, she will take a good look at all of the centaur zombies.
Kenisha Tuesday January 28th, 2003 11:09:31 PM
Kenisha looks about, as well, but unsure what to look for.
Taric Wednesday January 29th, 2003 2:33:11 AM
Taric not sure about what witch they are talking about, but if she almost killed Ceira she cannot be up to any good.
Hearing about the missing centaures being sent around the village, Taric starts digging in his memory if he saw four centaurs coming around the village.
"What about Proudhorn's group? Where did they run off too? Maybe they know more about all this."
Leets Wednesday January 29th, 2003 3:21:06 AM
"I don't remember seeing this other group of Centaurs led by your son Ironarm..." answers Leets. "I hope there wasn't another stealthy assault on the side of the village...With opponents like Marteaus' clerics, we shouldn't be surprised by such a treachery...".
"Well, as for your son missing, if you had a thing belonging to him, maybe Managarm could find him back...Isn't it my dog?"
As if it was answering, the dog barks and begins to play with his Centaur master...
Flat-Top(dm sam) Wednesday January 29th, 2003 8:27:34 AM
"I didnt see them either Leets." Flat-Tops says. "I wonder where they could be."
Descriptions(dm sam) Wednesday January 29th, 2003 8:36:24 AM
"His body is scarred from burns he receives while he's working the forge with me." Ironarm says. "He also has short hair and he's carrying a sledgehammer like me." Kenisha and Ceira begins sifting through the rotting bodies but they dont find any bodies that look like they were recently alive. besides the minotaurs, everything looks like its been dead for a long time. "I dont have anything of his on me." Ironarm tells Leets, "But I can get some of his things from our house." Kale begins his search of the perimiter of the village. about 150 ft away from the battlefield he comes across some centaur tracks leading towards the forest, but no sigh of any more zombies or minotaurs(make 3 more checks to do the entire village)
Kale d20+10=25 d20+10=21 d20+10=19 Wednesday January 29th, 2003 8:38:21 AM
Kale is tempted to go back to the Chosen once he finds signs of the centaurs, but he decides to finish his search for anymore of the zombies and minotaurs(check of 25, 21, and 19)
Taric Thursday January 30th, 2003 1:29:20 AM
"Well," says Taric. "Not many places they have gone to without us seeing them."
Turning to Brahmah he asks their captain: "Did you see something in the forest? You have been pretty close to it."
Ceira Thursday January 30th, 2003 2:05:13 AM
"So how long ago did you send him?" asks Ceira. "He's either lost or in pursuit of someone. If he didn't leave that long ago, then perhaps there is a chance can catch up? Assuming we can find his trail though."
Leets Thursday January 30th, 2003 4:21:49 AM
"Mmmm..." Thinks Leets "Maybe you could go back to the village and check if he just didn't come back while you came here...And at the same time you could bring some clothes belonging to him so that Managarm can follow his track...What do you think Captain?"
Kenisha Thursday January 30th, 2003 7:15:20 AM
"That sounds like a good idea, Leets." Kenisha comments as she looks around.
Flat-Top(dm sam) Thursday January 30th, 2003 9:05:48 AM
"We should wait for Kale to return." Flat-Top says to the others. "He might of found something."
What to do?(dm sam) Thursday January 30th, 2003 9:11:33 AM
"How well does this Kale track? Is he a good scout?" Ironarm asks Leets and Kenisha. then he turns to Ceira and says "My son isnt lost. He knows these woods too well. I sent him over about 20 minuets ago. He should of arrived here in 5. I rode by my house on the way here, though I didnt go in. Its possible he's there, but I doubt it." while everyone decides what to do, Kale continues his search but doesnt find anything of interest(you'll arrive back at the others next turn)
Brahmah Thursday January 30th, 2003 9:22:35 AM
OOC: Sorry guys and gals, I didn't post Tuesday or Wednesday because, well, I simply forgot (boths games really).
IC: The Captain stands there listening to the Chosens' options, then turns and responds. "We should wait a few more minutes so that Kale can find us after his search. Besides, he might have new info. As for the forest Taric m'friend, didn't see much, I saw some archers, couldn't make them out... then the undead out here.... I think the archers I saw were the minotaurs who attacked us... I didn't have much time to look for anything specific. Leets, why don't you head back with Ceira and Kenisha, take Ironarm with you, Managarm needs to be able to pick up that scent real soon or we'll lose it. I can help track."
Flat-top Thursday January 30th, 2003 12:24:57 PM
"Hmm! Captain, mind if I stick around for a while. I'm getting restless.?" Flat-top plays fetch with the dog, untill Leets gives the dog orders.
Ceira Thursday January 30th, 2003 3:38:27 PM
Ceira turns to ask Ironarm, "Since we are already heading back into the village, do you have any spare healing potions we could buy off of you? Only your spare potions because I know you and the villagers had your share of injuries as well."
Taric Thursday January 30th, 2003 11:28:36 PM
Taric follows the ongoing developments, but is too busy thinking himself to add anything of value.
Kenisha Thursday January 30th, 2003 11:49:36 PM
Kenisha nods to Brahmah at his orders. "Very well. I would suggest that if Kale doesn't come back with any news, we may want to check out the graveyard. The zombies had to have come from somewhere."
She will then head back to the village with Leets, Ceira and Ironarm.
Kale Friday January 31st, 2003 9:08:02 AM
not finding anything else, Kale heads back to the battlefield
Spliting up(dm sam) Friday January 31st, 2003 9:12:31 AM
Ironarm, Leets, Ceira, and Kenisha head back to town while the others wait for Kale's return. while they are going to his house, Ironarm says "I dont have any healing potions, but I have some berries that are about to go bad that can heal your wounds. If my son does turn up missing, I have some items that may be useful to you if you'll help me find him." a few minuets later, Kale returns to the others.
Kale Friday January 31st, 2003 9:14:09 AM
upon returning, Kale goes up to Brahmah and says. "I found some centaur tracks leading into the woods abou 200ft from here. I didnt find any sigh of anymore enemies, though."
Flat-top Friday January 31st, 2003 11:21:55 AM
"Captain! Now I wonder what's going on, let's go and see where the tracks lead to?" Flat-top is prancing and ready to go.
Brahmah Saturday February 1st, 2003 6:26:50 AM
"Okay, let's look for the colt. What's his name? What doe he look like?" Says the warrior. "I have more potions Ceira."
Leets Sunday February 2nd, 2003 11:08:34 AM
"Don't worry Ironarm! Kale is one of the best trackers I've ever seen! As for my dog, now that we are at your home, maybe you could find something belonging to your son, like clothes?"
Kenisha Monday February 3rd, 2003 12:01:37 AM
Kenisha thanks Ironarm for the berries. She nods in agreement when Leets mentions Kale's tracking abilities. "He is quite good."
Ceira Monday February 3rd, 2003 2:55:30 AM
"Thanks for the berries." says Ceira as she awaits answers for her friend's inquiries.
