Tip Toeing In The Woods: ADM Ceil Friday May 2nd, 2003 1:33:17 PM
Kah finds something strange, a path that look like something was draged back and forth, like some branches, someone was covering some thing or signs.
The Wolfmaster yells at Kale, "Let go of me, you low life. You'll all die of starvation going this way." then spats at the Chosen hooves, as he is push along. (He's still smerking)
The way is quiet, very still like death around the corner... The party turn.
ADM Ceil Friday May 2nd, 2003 1:40:16 PM
May is DM Sam month of rest. We wore him down. So I'll be with you until the 30 of May. Rest well DM Sam, I'll take very very good care of the chosen ones.
Kanchana Sunday May 4th, 2003 3:32:32 AM
Kanchana takes a place in the group near enough the Wolfmaster to hear what he just said. She answers in an overly cheerful voice: "no we won't starve, Nature provides and I know where to look." Kanchana is grinning widely, happy to be continuing on the quest.
Ceira Sunday May 4th, 2003 12:49:35 PM
"What does that mean to 'die of starvation' in this direction?" asks Ceira, "Is this your way of telling us we will be searching forever or that we'll get captured?"
Flat-top Sunday May 4th, 2003 3:03:30 PM
"You know what? If you ask me Captain. I will take this piece of brown saugage and follow Kah, Ironarm and Kale." Flat-top grabs the Wolfmaster, taking out a dagger. Putting it up to his throat and shove him toward the trio. Flat-top cuts the minotaur just a little (so he'll bleed a little) "Opps!" said Flat-top "Kale! Can I borrow a knife from you? So I can do a better job next time!"
Kenisha d20+3=5 Sunday May 4th, 2003 11:48:58 PM
Kenisha tries to see if she can figure out what Wolfmaster is yelling about (Sense Motive roll is a 5 unfortunately).
She will follow (in the middle of the group) where Kah and Brahmah lead.
Brahmah Monday May 5th, 2003 1:23:26 AM
Brahmah looks with interest at the new wemic.
"Nice work Kah. Com'on Chosen, this should lead us somewhere."
Brahmah takes up the lead of the group next to Kah, giving the wemic time to search the ground for more clues.
Brahmah sneers at the remark of the wolfmaster.
"Bah, he's just afraid we'll find something."
Taric Monday May 5th, 2003 1:26:10 AM
Taric silently thanks Domi for sending Kah to them in this perilous time as it seems the wemic is a master tracker, absolutely wonderful in a situation like this. For a moment Taric considers to ask Kah to teach him the art of tracking, but then decides he'd better concentrate on the arcane arts, which are hard enough to master, even if you focus on them.
Taric follows silently in the middle of the group, looking a bit absent-minded while mulling over those life-chaning issues. When somebody asks him something he just nods, but continues on thinking.
Leets Monday May 5th, 2003 4:24:19 AM
Leets is obviously worried by the Wolfmaster presence, and doesn't hide it. The hatred he feels toward the follower of Marteau can be seen in every glance he throws at the Minotaur. Finally realizing that maybe it will look like an odd behaviour to the newcomers' eyes, he decides to walk by Kah's side, getting a (curious) look at his tribal paintings.
"I am Leets Talric of the Talric tribe, paladin of our Holy Father Domi. You are welcome in those times of troubles, hunter...As you can see, the game is no more what it used to be on Centaur Island..."
Leets' eyes come back to the Wolfmaster after his last word.
The Begging Wolfmaster - ADM Ceil Monday May 5th, 2003 7:08:53 AM
As the group follows Kah down what he sees as a path. "EEEEEEE! HELP! GET this CRAZY Centaur off of me. He just stab ME! I'm BLEEDing, you cannot let him do this! I'M JUST A HELPLESS TAUR!" At this point Ironarm (with club in hand) grabs the grumbling Wolfmaster by his robe, yelling at him, "THEN Tell me where my son IS!" Ironarm is about to hit the prisoner when Flat-top grabs and holds Ironarm's weapon hand from striking. "Be Quick about where the young ones are or I let go of his weapon hand!" Flat-top sneers at the Minotaur.
"Alright! I'll tell you where there are." said the Wolfmaster, but then he raises his head and adds "I'll even show you all where the Cave is... IF you let me go when we get there. Deal!"
The party's turn.
Kale Monday May 5th, 2003 10:37:06 AM
stopping for a moment, Kale says "What cave?". then he turn to Ironarm and says "Is there a cave nearby?"
Flat-top Monday May 5th, 2003 2:40:27 PM
"I'm sorry I had to do it this way, Captain, Well! Now we know at less the colts were taken to a cave, witch means big hills or mountains. Does anybody knows where there's abandon mines around here?" Flat-top still holding on Ironarm wrist.
Kanchana Monday May 5th, 2003 3:26:29 PM
"I would be the first to say not to do harm to you; Wolfmaster, but you are in no position to bargain." Looking a bit taken aback about the violence Kanchana says nervously, "Flat-top... Ironarm... is that not enough? He really should be tried for his crimes by the Council. Besides with Tomi's blessing and the skills we have here among us we will prevail." Kanchana makes sure to stay behind the prisoner escort, she doesn't want any 'in-party' fighting occuring behind her.
Kah d20+10=11 Monday May 5th, 2003 7:54:24 PM
Kah remains silent throughout the exchange between the party and the prisoner. He scans towards the apparent direction of the cave, trying to guess how long ago the tracks were made. (Wilderness Lore check to determine age? = 11)
Kenisha Monday May 5th, 2003 9:30:42 PM
Kenisha calmly tells the Wolfmaster, "No deal. You will stand trial for your crimes. But, if you show us where they are being kept, I will testify to this fact at your trial. If you do not play us false, it will aid you to lessen your punishment if you are found guilty."
Turning to Brahmah, "That sounds fair, don't you think?"
Ceira Tuesday May 6th, 2003 1:36:20 AM
"I agree." says Ceira. "I don't know how many caves lie in this area but there cannot be that many. Considering how he disappeared during the invasion of the town, he is probably no more than a couple of hours ahead of us. That means the cave shouldn't be too far from us. It's just a matter of finding the fresh tracks."
Brahmah Tuesday May 6th, 2003 2:06:48 AM
Brahmah considers for a moment and then nods "Kenisha and Ceira are right. If you show us the centaurs, I will personally testify this fact at your trial. You have my warrior's honor for that."
Brahmah makes sure to look the wolfmaster straight in the eyes, making clear he is not playing around with him.
Taric Tuesday May 6th, 2003 2:08:57 AM
Taric looks up from his thoughts when he hears the wolfmaster screaming. The scene that unfolds goes faster than Taric can blink with his eyes. The confession of the wolfmaster that follows is a reassuring one. Shaking his head about the wolfmaster bargaining for his safety, Taric just nods at the suggestions of Kenisha and Ceira.
Taric silently prays to Domi for the safety of the young centaurs, hoping they stay alright long enough for the Chosen to save them.
Leets Tuesday May 6th, 2003 3:48:08 AM
The heavy armored centaur paladin barely moves as Ironarm threatens the Wolfmaster once more. His hatred for Marteau's cleric can almost be felt as Leets glances at the evil minotaur. The young centaur shakes his long blond mane when hearing the various reactions of his friends.
"Once more Kenisha, your call for wisdom will lead us on the right way..."
"Wolfmaster, now, WE know that YOU know where are the missing ones. Do I have to recall you what you are accused of? I still hear your resounding voice saying that you wanted to sacrifice Kenisha, her baby and finally me. This will weight quite a lot during your trial...but your help can also weight in the libra of justice. Think of of what's the best for you, it seems quite easy to me..."
"the Wolfmaster Grins" Adm Ceil Tuesday May 6th, 2003 7:16:50 AM
The Wolfmaster relaxes just a little and his smerk comes back on his face, "So you trick me into giving you a clue. It will do you no good, unless you know where your going and how to see. NOW again I'll show you what trail, where the cave is and how to see it. IF you promise me my FREEDOM when we get there!"
Kale Tuesday May 6th, 2003 9:00:44 AM
Kale tuggs on the Wolfmaster's rope again, but he doubts it will have any real effect on him. "Well, what now?" he asks the others
Flat-top Tuesday May 6th, 2003 6:39:48 PM
"I don't know, all we know is the trail is very hard to find, there's a cave and that Wolfmaster is so sure of himself. Now he want to bargin with us." Flat-top turns to Brahmah "Captain! What do we do now? Bargin or try to find the cave ourselves?"
Kenisha Tuesday May 6th, 2003 11:31:09 PM
"A bargain with a devil is no bargain." Kenisha quotes. "I go with the idea of finding the cave ourselves."
Ceira Wednesday May 7th, 2003 12:36:53 AM
Ceira nods in agreement. "I do not believe it is a coincidence that Kah emerged with his tracking skills. I think Domi's personally guided his skills to aid us in our search. I am certain we can find the cave on our own."
Turning to the wolfmaster, "We are going to find the cave regardless of your help so you might as well tell everything to us 'on the record' so your trial will be more lenient."
Brahmah Wednesday May 7th, 2003 12:38:36 AM
Brahmah almost bristles at the insolence of the wolfmaster, trying to bargain in his position.
"We'll find the cave ourselves, no matter what it takes. As for you wolfmaster, be sure this action is counted in your trial. But not in your favor."
Brahmah nods to Kah to try and pick up the trail to see where they are going. He turns around one more time to make sure the prisoner is well guarded before concnetrating on the road ahead.
Taric Wednesday May 7th, 2003 12:43:27 AM
Taric doesn't feel the need to add anything. The other Chosen already spoke out exactly what he felt. He just hopes they will find the trail and the cave soon.
"Looking For The Path" AdmCeil Wednesday May 7th, 2003 7:47:36 AM
The Wolfmaster is visibly to relax, he get that smerk again. "Alright, let's see how far you can get without my help."
The party gets in a marching line and the follow Kah. You all march for about two to three hours. Hah sees that the ground is getting harder and it's dificult to read. BUT! over there what is that gray piece of cloth?.
If you pick it up, IT looks old, with a speck green mold and smells musty??
Your turn.
Flat-top Wednesday May 7th, 2003 8:04:48 AM
Flat-top pushes the Wolfmaster in frount of him, yelling at him, "You heard them, WE MARCH."
Flat-top moving in back of Wolfmaster, and besides Kale.
Kah d20+10=30 Wednesday May 7th, 2003 8:11:10 AM
Kah will pick up the scrap, and show it to the party.
"Is this from those we hunt?"
He will continue to search for the trail (Wilderness lore check: 30)
Kale Wednesday May 7th, 2003 10:18:43 AM
"If its got mold on it, its probably been lying there for a while." Kale says. "The one's we're looking for have only missing a day." then he pulls on the Wolfmaster's rope in fustrating. "This is getting us nowhere."
Leets Wednesday May 7th, 2003 11:03:38 AM
Leets gets a look at the piece of cloth, and then at the wolfmaster.
"I'm not finding this pleasant at all...and we are not playing a game. Wherever this one tries to bring us, we'd better be careful, maybe - certainly - it is a trick."
"As for this piece of cloth, maybe Managarm can find the one who lost this..."
"Hey! Come on my dog, can you find something?"
Kanchana Wednesday May 7th, 2003 11:23:54 AM
Kanchana continues to stay to the rear of the party behind the 'prisoner escort' leaving the tracking to those better suited for the job. "Ironarm, do you know of any caves around here? With a piece of cloth that old just lying around there must be some mine or something nearby."
Managram (Ceil) Wednesday May 7th, 2003 1:07:45 PM
Managram advances to his master and sniffs at the piece of moldy cloth, then sniffs the ground. Going in a large circle, then starts going down a gravel path.
Kenisha Wednesday May 7th, 2003 11:16:37 PM
"I don't know this area at all, so I have no idea if there are caves at al. I wish I did." Kenisha says a bit fustrated.
Ceira Wednesday May 7th, 2003 11:33:00 PM
"Ooo... Managram picked up a scent! Let's go!"
Ceira sticks her tongue out at the Wolfmaster, "Nyah nyah..."
Brahmah Thursday May 8th, 2003 2:38:12 AM
Brahmah gritts his teeth in frustration, but decides not to give the wolfmaster the satisfaction of actually noticing it.
"Good work Leets. This might lead us somewhere. But you're right, we'd better be careful."
Brahmah touches the hilts of his scimitars briefly, just to make sure they are right there where they belong.
Taric Thursday May 8th, 2003 2:40:45 AM
"The ground seems to get harder here, right? I think that means we're on the right track, as harder ground could surely mean rocky ground, or mountains or hills closeby." says Taric, trying to keep the Chosen's morale high. Taric would like to wipe that smirk of the wolfmaster's face. One way to do it would be to prove him wrong. Hopefully they would manage to do that soon.
"Mamagram Got a scent!" Adm Ceil Thursday May 8th, 2003 7:12:11 AM
Mamagram is running ahead of you, way ahead of all of you. You try to keep up, but no use. The dog goes through bushes and jumps over fallen trees. The dog is about eighty feet ahead of you, when he disapears around a big bolder and tall bushes. You hear him bark at something???
Now if you hurry you might make it to the bolder and bushes this time?? And if you role for listening you might hear something?? AH! Yes, the Wolfmaster is now sweating and trying to hold all of back??(I wonder what he's up to??)Most of all I wonder what's around the Bend??
Your turn... (he he he)
Kenisha d20+2=5 Thursday May 8th, 2003 11:10:29 PM
Kenisha continues to follow the others, praying silently that the dog will lead them to the missing Taurs.
(Listen check=5)
Ceira d20+1=12 Friday May 9th, 2003 12:31:20 AM
(Listen=12)
Ceira noties the nervous wolfmaster, "What's the matter? Not laughing anymore? Let's just see what's behind this corner." Fearful of some unanticipated surprise, she waits for her burly friends to walk ahead of her.
Kanchana d20+5=12 d20+4=7 Friday May 9th, 2003 12:52:10 AM
Kanchana follows along and listens to Managarm barking. She rests her hand on her scimitar just in case the dog isn't barking at dinner. Kanchana looks around for anything out of place and tries to listen for any strange sounds.
(spot 12, listen 7)
Brahmah Friday May 9th, 2003 2:56:09 AM
Hearing the dog bark, Brahmah feels a lot better about his actions. Unfolding his cloak he flies to Managarm while at the same time drawing his scimitars, just in case, calling out to his fellow Chosen: "Forward Chosen of Domi". His muscles flex involuntarily at the possible battle ahead of them, the battle to free the centaurs.
Brahmah (2nd post) d20-2=18 Friday May 9th, 2003 2:58:07 AM
OOC: forgot listen-check = 18
Taric d20+1=19 Friday May 9th, 2003 3:00:23 AM
Hearing Managarm bark not too far off, Taric tries his best to keep up with the others, but manages only to prove he is not a fully skilled hunter. Not yet anyway. He mentally prepares himself while running though, doing his best to try and avoid the undergrowth and treeroots, willing to make him trip.
OOC: listen = 19
Kah d20+6=11 d20+6=15 Friday May 9th, 2003 7:28:09 AM
Kah follows behind the others, watching and listening for signs of trouble. (Spot = 11, Listen = 15)
"OH! the Horror!" Adm Ceil Friday May 9th, 2003 8:01:27 AM
Your all running and galloping along, your almost around the bolder you hear growling and snapping. But when you round the bolder and go through some bushes into a clearing, you supprise one Zombie watching some seven Ghoul fighting over a corps. You suprise them.
Kenchana and Kah spots the corps as being a young dead Centour...
Ironarm Yells "NO! NO! that is one of our colts." and goes to attack one of the ghouls.
Wolfmaster Yells "Keep those THINGS away from me."
Have a nice week-end your turn - muhhahahahaha!
Kale d20+6=26 d20+6=21 2d6(4+4)=8 Friday May 9th, 2003 10:24:23 AM
stopping immediatly, Kale drop's the Wolfmaster's rope and quickly shoots an arrow at one of the ghouls(critical hit of 26, confirm hit of 21 for 8 pts). "Dont let them touch you!" he yells to his companions
Kanchana Friday May 9th, 2003 5:39:49 PM
Kanchana hurries forward and immediately snatches up the rope Kale dropped. She then shoulders the Wolfmaster in the back, pushing him towards the ghouls, and says "if you don't want those things near you you'll keep in plain sight and not try anything suspicious or openly aggressive against us. Considering what you did with those wolves earlier I have no true problems using you as a buffer against that." Kanchana makes sure that neither she nor the Wolfmaster gets in Kale's way. She keeps a very tight hold on the rope with her right hand. Kanchana prepares to cast Mage Armor on herself.
Flat-top Saturday May 10th, 2003 10:33:22 AM
Flat-top round the corner, and Stops! Looking in disbelive at those lifeless little hoves, with those snarling Things tearing at the body. Flat-top stears at the sceen, stund for a full round.
Brahmah d20+12=23 2d8(7+2)+12=21 Sunday May 11th, 2003 1:45:34 AM
Hearing the scream from Ironarm, Brahmah doesn't hesitate. "For Domi!" is heard just before he lowers his head and charges the closest ghoul, trying to run him over.
OOC: charge attack hits AC 23 charge damage is 21
Taric Sunday May 11th, 2003 1:47:13 AM
Taric breath stops in his throat at viewing the scene. Shaking his head he manages to clear his mind and casts a spell to protect himself, making himself blink out of view.
OOC: cast 'invisibility' on self.
Kah d20=12 2d6(4+3)+3=10 Sunday May 11th, 2003 8:34:22 AM
Kah whispers incantations to Gargul, calling upon the grey lord to cower these abominations. (Turn undead: Level check: 12 (up to 3 hd undead), up to 10 HD are affected).
Kenisha 3d4(4+1+4)+3=12 Sunday May 11th, 2003 10:56:47 PM
Kenisha's eyes widen at the visage before her and she does not advance. Neither does she retreat but instead holds her ground and cries out, "Shev-Pak Newal!"; sending three magic missiles out at one of the ghouls (for 12 HP of damage).
Leets d20+3=18 Monday May 12th, 2003 10:26:05 AM
Leets tries to follow his own dog as quickly as he can, also trying to focus on the feelings of the dog to share them.
Even before facing the ghouls, he knows that some undeads will be there, and he can almost face them before seeing the foul creatures.
Jumping over a fallen tree, Leets simply lift his shield high, and release the holy energy Domi gave him with the new dawn.
"We shall not let you profane this body, go back in the darkness you came from, in the name of Domi!"
Leets tries to turn the undeads (I don't have my CS right now, and I don't remember how it works, Leets has a +3 Charisma and is 5th level, I rolled 18 for the first roll...)

Flat-top, Taric and Ironarm are so upset that they miss thing coming at them. Wolfmaster is screeming, "Just Don't Stand There You Fools! Get these Ghouls off of me! DO YOU HEAR ME!"
Slowly the Ghouls and Zombie decends on you snaping their jaws and flailing their arm. The Zombie grunt and tries to bash all of you.
OH! Thiis is sooo much fun. Your Turn...
Ceira (AC16, 22hp) d20+2=15 Monday May 12th, 2003 3:49:43 PM
(OOC: Ooo... barely made it with DEX=15. Are we supposed to hide our hp's?)
Reeling from the sudden surprise, her reactions manages to give only a surface wound to Ceira. She quickly scurries to the back of the group while preparing a spell in her head.
(OOC: Full round movment)
Kanchana d20+3=16 Monday May 12th, 2003 5:21:10 PM
Kanchana flinches away from the ghoul that scratched her, dropping the Wolfmater's rope in the process. Kanchana casts Mage Armor on herself.
Flat-top d20+6=26 Monday May 12th, 2003 7:23:36 PM
Flat-top is about to attack, when the Wolfmaster open his mouth to insult and oders them around. Flat-top will grab the loud mouth and pushs him into the Zombie. "Here Loud Mouth Talk to this zombie for a while." After pushing the Zombie, Flat- top will draw his Morning Star and go to work.
Monagram {Ceil} Monday May 12th, 2003 7:28:44 PM
Monagram yelps once the return and bites at th heels of the zombie. "Grrrr... bite... bite...Grrr."
Kenisha (Mage Armor; AC 22) Monday May 12th, 2003 8:04:52 PM
Kenisha quickly casts her own Mage Armor spell and sends a silent prayer to Domi to aim them.
Taric (AC 16, invisible) Tuesday May 13th, 2003 12:51:32 AM
Taric decides to try an incantation at the ground where the gouls are standing. Aiming so he doesn't hit any part of the ground one of the Chosen is standing on.
OOC: casting 'grease' so he affects as much ghouls as possible without affecting one of the Chosen. Reflex save DC = 15

Brahmah grimaces when his charge proved succesful, but realizes he doesn't have much time to gloat over that small success. He makes two quick slashes to the ghoul closest to him, hoping to drop him quick, while shouting: "Domi guide us!"
OOC: first attack hits AC 22 for 14 damage second attack hits AC 19 for 14 damage
Kale d20+6=12 d20+6=12 d10+5=9 d10+5=10 Tuesday May 13th, 2003 7:00:14 AM

Kah d20=15 2d6(3+2)+3=8 Tuesday May 13th, 2003 8:00:18 AM
Kah again tries to turn the abominations. (Turn check 15 (I dont have my books with me, but I think thats cleric level +1, or 4 hd.) Up to 8 HD total are affected)
Kah Tuesday May 13th, 2003 8:02:26 AM
OOC: Forgot to include: Ac 16, 42 max HP.
Thank you for the your AC and HP. You see I don't have your CS, Right now I don't know your ups and downs. Just telling me your a Hunter and a Tracker does nothing. (to me a Hunter is a fighter, But you see I don't know what a Tracker is??)
"Step? by Step?" {Adm Ceil} Tuesday May 13th, 2003 9:08:13 AM
They are still comming at you, But wait a minute??? What this Flat-top pushes the Screeming Wolfmaster into them. They stop for a moment, totaly confused. The Zombie is busy with the dog, While Kale puts the hurts to him for 19HP of damages. Taric spell goes off and the ground under their feet is slippery and are bumping into each other. Brahmah kills one of the bigger ghouls and Kah makes mush on one of the smaller one (one dead Ghouls)All you others are alright. You see that there is only two big Ghoul left and one Zombie the is being bothered by a pesty dog and one lone Minotaur (Kale) The Wolfmaster is yelling "HOW DARE YOU! EEEEK! Alright! Alright! I'll show you where the cave is, JUST get them off of me."
Well it's your turn>>>>> now.
Brahmah Tuesday May 13th, 2003 2:19:25 PM
OOC: Hello from Ireland all!
Brahmah does something very heroic. ;)
(OOC: Can someone send an email reminding me who Kah is?)
Kenisha (Mage Armor; AC: 22) 3d4(3+3+1)+3=10 Tuesday May 13th, 2003 8:54:22 PM
Kenisha lets loose with another Magic Missile, sending all three missiles at one of the advancing ghouls (for 10 HP of damage).
Taric (invisible, AC 16) Tuesday May 13th, 2003 11:29:36 PM
The still invisible Taric grabs the rope of the wolfmaster after he hears him shout his promise. He makes sure he won't let go off it now the wolfmaster has agreed to show them the cave. He makes sure to pull him a bit closer, away from the ghouls, closer to some ropes to get a better handhold on the rope.
Brahmah (AC 23) Tuesday May 13th, 2003 11:32:04 PM
Hearing the scream from the wolfmaster, Brahmah changes his plans quickly. Instead of attacking the filthy undead he now stays close to the wolfmaster, protecting him if needed against the oncoming monsters. Seeing the rope of the wolfmaster seemingly being pulled by nothing, Brahmah suspects Taric is thinking the same as him. Grinning shortly he doesn't leave the wolfmaster out of his eyes.
Kanchana (Mage Armor AC 20) d20+3=18 d6=1 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 1:06:08 AM
Kanchana casts Disrupt Undead on the ghoul that attacked her (for 1 pt of dmg). She trusts that the others will keep an eye on the prisoner for now.

Kale(AC19) d20+6=9 d20+6=25 d10+5=15 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 7:03:53 AM
trying to finish off the zombie, Kale slashes at him again, hitting once(ac 25 for 15 pts)
Momagram{Ceil} d20+3=8 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 7:11:09 AM
Momagram tries to bite at the Zombies heels but misses. He'll go afther the heel again.
Kah (AC 16, HP 42) d20+6=15 d8+3=9 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 7:21:52 AM
Kah, seeing that turning is seeming to have no effect, attempts to stab the nearest ghoul with his spear. (Hit AC 15 for 9 damage)
"A Change of Mind??" {Adm Ceil} Wednesday May 14th, 2003 9:43:09 AM
Kale Puts the Zombie back into a pile of dust, while to pile dirt(with his hind paws) on the fall Zombie. Kenchana almost misses the the ghoul but did take off a hand, while Flat-top finishes that little monster. Kenisha finishes off a ghoul with her deadly magic missles. Leets Kills another ghoul. And Kah see that the magic did not work the first time, so he has only time to stab him. Kills the ghoul.
Wolfmaster Get up off the ground and dust himself off the best he can, "Ha! He! Ha! You fools, if you think I'd show you where the master's cave is. Your all very dence." At this point Ironarm rushes to and grabs Wolfmaster trouth, squeezing the life out of him. Before any of the others can react.
Now What are you going to do??? Your turn...
Kanchana (Mage Armor AC 20) d20+4=24 d20+4=11 d6+2=3 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 2:37:06 PM
Frustrated by the lack of results from her spell Kanchana draws her scimitar and swings at the ghoul attacking her. (Hits AC 24 for 3 pts dmg)
Kenisha (Mage Armor: 22 AC) 3d4(2+3+4)+3=12 Thursday May 15th, 2003 12:29:35 AM
(ooc- Just how many undead are left? Or are they all dead?)
If there are any undead left, Kenisha will fire off another Magic Missile at one. (for 12 HP of damage)
If there aren't any left, then she asks with a sad voice, "How many of they missing Taurs are here?" as she looks around to make sure there are no more monsters to battle.
Brahmah Thursday May 15th, 2003 1:34:38 AM
Brahmah tries to grab the arms of Ironarm, but too late. The lifeless body of the wolfmaster drops down. Brahmah doesn't feel much pity. He only hoped they would have been able to judge him in a trial.
Realizing he can't turn back things he looks at Ironarm and says while pointing to the wolfmaster's body: "That way to find the colts is gone. Now what? Hopefully that cave is close by. Better pray our trackers can find that cave soon."
Taric Thursday May 15th, 2003 1:36:55 AM
Taric looks in shock at the scene passing in front of him. Of course he realizes the wolfmaster is up to no good, but still, killing a prisoner, that's no way to go.
Taric realizes though it won't do much good insulting Ironarm now. He thinks for a moment and then says: "That cave should be close to here. Better find it quick before the other centaurs end up like this one." finishes Taric with sadness in his voice.
Leets Thursday May 15th, 2003 5:03:56 AM
Leets puts a friendly hand on Ironarm's shoulder.
"I would probably have done the same...But now you'll have to live with the death of this one..."
With his feelings troubled about the Wolfmaster's death, Leets tries to find a way to the cave...
"I don't know much about it, but aren't cave supposed to be under hills, or such things?"
"Managarm, my dog, can't you find the track of the wolfmaster? He surely came from this cave after all..."
Flat-top Thursday May 15th, 2003 5:54:37 AM
"Good Girl! Kenchana, you killed that ghoul lika a season fighter. You know some tims magic does not work on some of them." Flat-top tries to cheer her up. Moving now to Wolfmaster's body and it moved slitly. "Captain? I think Wolfmaster is trying to fool us again?? I think the coward just fainted??" Flat-top now starts to smiles, Thinking maybe he'll stand trial after all.
Managram { Ceil } Thursday May 15th, 2003 6:01:54 AM
Managran listens to his master and sniff the ground. Sniff here and sniff there. Sniff ing up an incline and stops. "Bark! Bark!" at something or somewhere??
Kale d20+10=17 Thursday May 15th, 2003 10:29:59 AM
staring down at all the dead bodies, Kale says "Im going to go scout for that cave" then the minotaur slips into the woods, looking for signs of the cave(search of 17)
" Dead or Playing Dead?" Thursday May 15th, 2003 11:23:17 AM
Kenchana's ghoul was not going down, But drawing her scimitar and cut his head off. Suprizing the fighters in the group.
Ironarm goes for Wolfmaster jugular with the intention of killing him. When Brahmah grab Ironarm's arm and Wolfmaster drop to the ground. He look dead BUT if you look closely his eyes have movement.
The Zombie and all the ghouls are Dead all eight of them.
Leets ask his managran to find a path or anything with a scent on the trail. So managram sniff all around this big bush and bolder. The dog stops, sits and barks "Bark" "Bark", waiting for further orders.
Are you going to see what the dog found?? or are you going to rest?? or See to Wolfmaster's Body?? is HE dead or is it another one of his trick??
Now it's your turn...
Kanchana Friday May 16th, 2003 12:16:52 AM
Kanchana is stunned by her good fortune, but not so much so that she doesn't forget to harvest a finger bone from the ghoul she killed. Kanchana cleans her blade and resheaths it. She takes the wolf fang from her totem bag and puts it into a pouch and puts the ghoul bone into her totem bag. "Thank you Flat-top," Kanchana gives him a quick hug in her excitement. Stepping back she says "what do we do with the Wolfmaster? Bury him? We cannot leave him here for any other possible carrion-eaters, and the youngling needs a proper burial for sure." Kanchana waits to hear what the others think.
Taric Friday May 16th, 2003 12:32:57 AM
Taric walks quickly up towards the leader of the Chosen and whispers in his ear:
"The wolfmaster is not dead, at least his eyes seem to be moving."
Brahmah Friday May 16th, 2003 12:34:43 AM
Without a mere word Brahmah grabs one of the bodies of the ghouls and drops it next to the wolfmaster, making sure it touches him. He then grabs another body, intent on dropping it on top of the wolfmaster.
"That should do as a burial for him. We need to pay more respect to the young centaur though. A proper burial would be in place."
Flat-top Friday May 16th, 2003 6:29:23 AM
The Druid takes the Centaur by suprize, so Flat-top face turns red and he stammers "Err... Thank-you Kanchana?... Err... look! The dog is barking, maybe he found something??". He back away, steping on Wolfmasters foot and stands behind Brahmah, whispering *Dog's barking. Do females always kiss when they are happy??*
Kenisha (Mage Armor: 22 AC) Friday May 16th, 2003 6:45:54 AM
Kenisha has to smother first one laugh and then another as she watches Flat-top's reaction to Kanchana's kiss and then Brahmah's "test" for Wolfmaster.
"I agree, Brahmah, but the other taurs may not have the luxury of that time. Besides, I think Managram has found something." Kenisha trots closer to the dog to see if she can find what he's barking about (but not too close in case something jumps out at her).
Kale Friday May 16th, 2003 10:33:34 AM
if Kale doesnt find any sigh of the cave, he'll return to the others
"The Hidden Vally" { Adm Ceil } Friday May 16th, 2003 8:02:42 PM
UP! Jumps! the Wolfmaster, "#$%@**&!! Sons of Warthogs. How dare you do this to me!" He runs for the woods and runs into Kale, who is returning to the group.
Kenisha goes over to managram to see what he's barking at. As she pushing back a low branch she spots a path between another bolder and some trees. As she approches she sees a path, She sees this scene... Kenisha is on a cliff and the narow path that leads down into a valley with grassy knolls. There's a babbling stream and on the other side of the water theres another tall rocky cliff. BUT there at the bottom and beside Two dead trees is a cave entrance...
Take the week-end to think about it, But if you should go down the path Roll your dex of 15, if you fail roll your reflex of 15 or better. If you fail your reflex, you will fall and take 10 hp of damages... I wonder how many will make it down to the vally???
Brahmah(Jay) Saturday May 17th, 2003 12:53:14 PM
(OOC:Hello again all. Please do something with the Wolfmaster. Brahmah would be the only to actually kill him, he wouldn't let anyone else take the responsiblity.)
Kenisha (Mage Armor: 22 AC) Saturday May 17th, 2003 9:30:15 PM
"Good Dog!" the centauress tells Managram.
Excited, Kenisha trots over to Brahmah. "I think Managram has found the cave! It's at the bottom of a dangerous looking cliff. There is a path but it doesn't look very steady to me."
Brahmah d20+2=22 Sunday May 18th, 2003 1:33:45 AM
The last actions of the wolfmaster enfuriate Brahmah. Before anyone else can react he takes a few quick strides while saying with a voice loaded with anger: "Do you think we're fools? Your game is up wolfmaster. Clearly you have no good intentions in you. And you're showing no signs of changing. Therefore as leader of the Chosen of Domi I sentence you, to death!"
Brahmah takes two quick swings at the wolfmaster, making sure he will never again threaten innocents. A grimace shows on Brahmah's face, a grimace showing pity for the wolfmaster who couldn't change his way of life. Brahmah's eyes beam with faith though, faith in Domi.
He looks one more moment at the body of the wolfmaster before turning around to where Managarm is barking and descends to the valley.
Taric d20+3=16 Sunday May 18th, 2003 1:37:07 AM
Taric sees the anger wash through Brahmah, but is too late to do anything. A feeling of remorse and pity is mixed with a strange feeling of relief. Almost ashamed of his own feelings a single tear drops from Taric's lefteye. He wipes it away quickly though, takes a last look at the body of the wolfmaster and then without saying a word he follows the others to the entrance to the valley, making a slow descend down to it.
Brahmah(Jay) Sunday May 18th, 2003 11:53:32 AM
OOC: Hello from Scotland friends. Could someone send me a summary(via email) of the last three weeks, in game accounts that is? Thank you. :)
NOTE: I've been kind of reading the last several posts when I get to a computer. Well played Taurs. I'll be home soon, around the 24th of May.
Kanchana d20+3=19 Monday May 19th, 2003 12:15:17 AM
"Does anyone have a shovel," Kanchana says tonelessly. "We might as well bury the corpses before we go to the cave." Noting that everyone seems to be starting to descend the valley to the cave she follows. She guesses that the dead will be buried after they get back. Kanchana has plans of being last in line down the path. (Dex roll 19)
Flat-top d20+2=19 d20+4=23 Monday May 19th, 2003 6:36:07 AM
Look at the body of the Wolfmaster, "Hmmm! I wish I could of help. Kale did he hurt you bumping into you that way? A shovel? Burr Him? Ahh! Gees! After every thing he did." But Flat-top smiles.
Flat-top to look at what Kenisha and the dog found, "This should be easy for Weimic, But us top heavy Minotaurs and us bottom heavy Centaurs will have a little problem.
OOC: Flat-top made his Dex and (he also roll for catching any body who might fail their rolls. Thats where Flat-top will be.)
Kah d20=11 d20=5 Monday May 19th, 2003 7:58:05 AM
"It is good for the bodies to return to the earth. That which was unclean has left them. But I know that time is short. Let us return after, and give them a fitting end."
Kah then follows down the trail (Dex check 11, Reflex Save 5)
Leets d20=20 d20=15 Monday May 19th, 2003 10:25:09 AM
Barely glancing at the Wolfmaster's body, Leets congratulates Managarm, rubbing the head of the dog.
"As the leader of the Chosen I think you did the right thing Brahmah. This one could have brought lethal troubles to the Chosen of the holy father."
"May you, Wolfmaster, see the truth beyond the veil of death and regret your mistakes..."
"Now, I think we should offer our time to the livings and not the deads! Let's go Chosen!"
Trying to find the best way to the cave, the centaur paladin jumps here and there down the cliff!
Kale d20+2=17 Monday May 19th, 2003 11:04:06 AM
Kale stand over the dead body for a moment. then he shruggs his shoulders and begins to walk down the path(dex check of 17)
{ Down and Down We Go!} Asst.dm Ceil d20=19 Monday May 19th, 2003 1:59:16 PM
OOC: Ceira(Jenner) I rolled for you and made your Dex.
Captain Brahmah starts down first, afew feet behind him Kale Start his decend. Tauric goes down next and find the footing diffacult. Then it is the centers turn to go down, Leets goes down like a mountain goat With his dog close behind him, But it works he is down safely, Kenisha did go down almost like Leets BUT more lady like. Flat-top goes down with almost a no problem, But catches Kah as he slip on some loose stones and the both of them makes it down safely. There is nothing more graceful as to see the two remaining Weimic Ceira and Kanchana spring from here and there. They make it down with out ruffling their hair. You all take a deep breath, Your down safely.
Now do you need a rest that was a lot to do and night is falling??
Now it's your turn....,
Ceira Monday May 19th, 2003 7:52:47 PM
Ceira shivers at the thought of entering this cave as night begins to fall. "We fought ghouls already. I wonder what we are going to find in here?"
"Can anyone 'see in the dark' so-to-speak?" asks Ceira. "If anyone can, he/she should take the lead and the rest should follow by holding on to tails. We ought to avoid using any kind of light if we can help it. If not, then let me cast a Light spell on the leader so we can save on torches. Unless you say otherwise Brahmah, I assume that will be you."
(OOC: Ceira will cast her Light spell on an object Brahmah is wearing such as a necklace, ring, or even a shield at his request. How wide is the cave entrance?)
Kenisha d20+2=18 Monday May 19th, 2003 10:01:30 PM
"Well us centaurs can see in the dark, but save your spell if we do decide to go with a light source. I have en Everburning Torch we can use." Kenisha tells Ceira as she huffs and puffs after the hard climb down.
Lady-like she might have been, but it was hard work to move her bulging belly down the cliff without mishap.
Kanchana Tuesday May 20th, 2003 12:48:35 AM
"I have a potion of Dark-Vision, and Wemics see well in dim light. The question is whether or not we need a little rest after the climb?" She looks carefully at Kenisha huffing and puffing. "Kenisha do you feel you need to rest? That climb must have been hard on you and maybe on your little one as well." Kanchana peers into the cave. "I personally feel we should press on since we have come so far already. Of course if they are expecting us then they have all of the advantages."
Brahmah Tuesday May 20th, 2003 1:34:21 AM
Brahmah nods and says: "I don't have a problem seeing in the dark. We should rest for a few minutes. This way everybody is ready to go on further. I'll take the lead after our little rest. Kah and Flat-Top, I'd like you two right behind me. Kanchana, Ceira and Kenisha in the middle. Taric and Leets bring up the rear."
Brahmah then stands the entrance to the cave to make sure they don't get surprised, his both hands resting on the handvests of his scimitars, a stance of beaming trust and confidence.
Taric Tuesday May 20th, 2003 1:36:51 AM
Taric wipes some sweat of his forehead after the difficult climb donwn. Noticing the dirt of his hands from the several times he had to grab on, he dusts himself off a bit and uses a bit of water to clean his now muddy forehead.
He nods to Brahmah, being grateful for the chance to catch up a bit of breath. Sitting down he suddenly feels how tired he actually is. He shakes his head a bit to keep himself from falling asleep. Picturing the young centaures depending on them makes Taric jump up and stand ready to travel on after a few minutes.
Flat-top d8+4=8 Tuesday May 20th, 2003 6:22:44 AM
"Are you alright, Kah? Good chance that I was infrount of you when you twisted your hoof." Then Flat-top look at Brahmah, Look around again. But see nothing but forest, again turns to Brahmah, "Captain? I don't see a cave all I see right now is a forest? Puff! Puff! I cannot wait to get to the stream, I'm thursty."
But flat-top will get in line, and get's ready to go to the stream and the cave. He'll also drink a CMW (gains 8hp)and feels much better.
Leets Tuesday May 20th, 2003 8:45:37 AM
"I will gladly stay rear while we are in the cave. I know we'll cross the way of other followers of Marteaus, and they won't hesitate to backstab us."
Getting a look at the cave, Leets draws his sword and begins to clean it.
"I'll also pray Domi during the night so that he offers his help in the cave. I feel like there is something rotten in the heart of Centaur Island...Something a blessed blade will have to sever..."
Kale d20+8=25 Tuesday May 20th, 2003 12:22:22 PM
noticing that he wasnt included in Brahmah's marching orders, Kale says "Ill scout ahead while the rest of you rest." and before anyone can say anything Kale moves down deeper into the cave and dissapears into the shadows(move silently check of 25)
" Good Morning! I Hope"{Asst.dm Ceil} Tuesday May 20th, 2003 2:40:07 PM
As the sun rises you wake and feel refresh and go through the forest with no mishap. You meet at the stream and meet Kale as hes drinking water and points to the cliff.
Across the stream, about 90 to 100 feet to the cliff and a big cave opening. It's about 20feet wide and 18 feet high. As you get closer, it is dark in side, But now pitch black. Kale and Brahmah stick their heads into the cave, they can see something slump in the north west corner of the big room (about 80 feet in diamerter.)
"OH! NO! it's one of the colts that went hunting with my son." Cries Ironarm. You have to stop him from galoping down the hall and stop him from yelling. OR your all be in deep trouble!
Now can you sneek in? After all that yelling? Now it your turn...
Ceira Tuesday May 20th, 2003 3:20:23 PM
"There goes the element of surprise!" says Ceira. She is ready to bolt in after Ironarm but that would break formation. "This place smells like a trap waiting to happen so let's stick together." Ceira waits on standby for Brahmah's orders.
Kanchana Tuesday May 20th, 2003 9:48:20 PM
"Oh by the Powers that be! Why can't people think before they act?" Kanchana rubs her right temple with her right hand. "Speaking of traps... I can make them but I am no good at taking them apart. Is there anyone of us with some skill at dismantling traps in case we actually come across any?" Kanchana takes her place in the marching order. Her scimitar is drawn and ready in her left hand just in case there are any nasty surprises.
Kenisha Tuesday May 20th, 2003 10:51:45 PM
Kenisha puts a hand on Ironarm's shoulder if she can to keep him back. "Ironarm!" she hisses at him, "Calm yourself. Nothing can be gained by charging in blindly."
She then takes her place in with the others.
Brahmah Wednesday May 21st, 2003 1:42:32 AM
Brahmah stands in front and asks Kale to come forward. Softly he says: "Kale, could you stay in the front as well? You've got some good eyes. Will help a lot while walking in the darkness."
Brahmah will then walk into the cave slowly, trusting the others will be close behind him.
OOC: sorry about that Kale. Didn't mean to exclude you.
Taric Wednesday May 21st, 2003 1:44:38 AM
Taric feels a shiver rung along his spine when they approach the entrance to the cave. He feels quite nervous and the adrenaline starts rushing through his veins. Clenching his fists he tries to focus and breathe slowly to stay calm, which only partially succeeds.
He keeps his place in the order, trying to concentrate on the things ahead.
Leets Wednesday May 21st, 2003 4:16:33 AM
The centaur paladin firmly keep his place in the group, looking around him and particularly behind...
"Managarm my dog, try to be aware, your ear and nose can probably help us..."
Kale d20+10=28 Wednesday May 21st, 2003 7:10:15 AM
Kale nods at Brahmah's words then looks over at the others running into the cave. letting loose a big sigh, Kale starts to go over the cave carefully, looking for traps, though he's sure any traps that are present would of already been set off(search check of 28)
Flat-top Wednesday May 21st, 2003 7:12:29 AM
Flat-top notices that Kenchana is trying to stop Ironarm from running down the tunnel. Fat-top will try to stop him by stepping in frount of his path down the cave. "Whoa! Ironarm! You must keep a level head on your shoulders, or you'll do your son no good. AND Stop Screeming or we'll all die."
Kah d4+1=2 d4+1=2 Wednesday May 21st, 2003 8:06:38 AM
Kah takes a moment to cast a few spells before venturing further. First touching the necklace about his neck, he calls upon Domi and Gargul to strengthen him. He then casts three spells. After finishing, he follows the Chosen.
OOC: Activate bead of karma. For the next ten minutes my caster level is 7. Cast Bulls Strenght, Endurance and Delay Poison. Strenght is up 2 (+1 hit/damage), Con is up 2 (+4 HP,+1 Fort save). These three spells will end in 7 hours.
Kanchana OOC Wednesday May 21st, 2003 11:10:10 AM
Delete this after a ca. 1 day please.
NB! Kanchana didn't try to stop Ironarm Kenisha did. :)
"Into the Tunnel & Traps??" Adm Ceil Wednesday May 21st, 2003 1:41:36 PM
"After looking at the mutilated body of the young centaur. It had bites marks and torn flesh off the bone. BUT What this!! A voice from deep into the tunnel. Muffle voices calling for help.
As you start into the tunnel there on the floor of the cave is a string trap. Kale disarm it. All the time the cries grows louder and Ironarm want to rush forward. "It's my Colt, I know his voice! It's my Colt!"
Well?? What do you do now?? Are there more traps?? or What will you find the Colts alive??
Your turn my pets . . .
OOC: Soory Marilyn, I guess I need new glasses.
Ceira Wednesday May 21st, 2003 3:32:41 PM
"Let me cast Invisibility on you Kale" suggests Ceira. "I want no surprises in the dark. It's already scary enough as it is!"
Kale Wednesday May 21st, 2003 8:36:55 PM
"Go ahead Ceira," Kale tells Ceira. once he's invisible, Kale will move down the tunnel as fast as he can, towards the screaming. "If you here me scream, dont follow!" Kale yells as he starts down the tunnel.
Brahmah Thursday May 22nd, 2003 1:56:09 AM
Brahmah decides it's time for action.
"Follow me," he whispers to the other Chosen "But be careful."
He then activates his cloak and will fly as high as possible in the cave to prevent himself from setting of any traps. While flying up he draws one of his scimitars and then flies in the direction of the screams.
Taric Thursday May 22nd, 2003 1:59:10 AM
Taric decides to cast a defensive spell on himself before venturing further into the cave. He makes sure to stay in the group though.
OOC: cast 'shield' on himself, facing in front of him.
Leets Thursday May 22nd, 2003 2:24:56 AM
While his friends carefuly move deeper in the cave, Leets closes his eyes and tries to focus on the deepest part of the place, to detect evil...
Kenisha d20+2=9 Thursday May 22nd, 2003 6:09:18 AM
Kenisha follows along with the others, being as quiet as she can. (Move Silent= 9)
Flat-top d20+4=23 Thursday May 22nd, 2003 8:46:09 AM
Flat-top Takes his Morning Star from around his neck and makes sure his shiels is succure on his arm. "Stay in back and protect the girls and Taric, Leets will help you if trouble comes." He tell Ironarm.
Flat-top fall in line, on Brahmah left and along side Kah. Looking for anything or any one along the way, But as silently as a centaur can be.
Kanchana d20+5=17 d20+5=12 d20+4=21 Thursday May 22nd, 2003 11:36:42 AM
Kanchana keeps to her place in the marching order, scimitar still at ready. She tries to move as silently as she can. She keeps all her senses alert to any strange sounds or movements. (Move silently 17, Spot 12, Listen 21)
"OH! OH! What's That?" {Adm Ceil} Thursday May 22nd, 2003 1:39:31 PM
Kale goes through the tunnel silently, only stoping for undoing a trap or two. The pleading is now comming around the corner, Kale rounds the corner and comes to a stop because the a Iron gate (more of a big grill wall) with a iron door, Lock. In an instant Kale has the door unlock and open.
Inside there a big cavern (Make a circle about 80 feet round with lighted scones around the wall, every 15 feet.) Kale heads to the north wall where there are three Colts, each chain to a big post and yelling for help. (put three X's there for the colts) Put a K in a circle, that's Kale invisable. The entrance to the tavern is south (That's where you'll be coming into the cavern). To the west there is another tunnel but it's dark there. (watch it guys are not in the cavern yet!!).
Kale is unlocking the chain holding the colts (he's unlocking the last chain lock)When he see a shadow on the wall. . . A big shadow. . . A tall shadow. . . With wiggling long hair?? Although Kale cannot be seen, he turns around and cannot believe his eyes. . . It's. . . It's. . .
The rest of you are just about round the corner, almost ready to enter the cavern. (I will leave the discription for Kale to tell you what he is seeing)
OOC: From this point on you all must tell me what your doing, what you see, where you are, if you hitting the monster you tell me where you are aiming. The map is easy to make a circle, three x's side by side and a K for Kale next to the x's.
Now let's have fun. . .
Ceira Thursday May 22nd, 2003 4:32:11 PM
"I wonder what we are going to find deep in here?" asks Ceira. Since space is getting to be a bit tight, she refrains from pulling out her crossbow. Instead, she keeps her hand inside her spell component pouch to ready her spells.
Brahmah Friday May 23rd, 2003 12:52:54 AM
Suspecting some kind of trap, Brahmah draws his other scimitar as well and flies to round the corner, hearing the pleading from the colts not too far off.
Taric Friday May 23rd, 2003 12:54:16 AM
Taric gets more nervous by the second. Unsure what to do he tries to think up possible scenarios of what they will find around the corner, while nervously playing with his crossbow. His eyes dart from left to right, not sure where to focus on.
Flat-top Friday May 23rd, 2003 6:05:44 AM
Flat-top rounds around the corner and into the cavern, then stops in his tracks. With Morning Star in hand, Strands about 15' into the cavern (next to Brahmah)Stare at that Evil Thing, with mouth open, asking Leets "Is it evil?? That cannot be anything Good??"
Kenisha Friday May 23rd, 2003 4:09:35 PM
Kenisha follows behind the others and looks about as she goes around the corner.
Kanchana Friday May 23rd, 2003 9:54:50 PM
Kanchana waits for those who are ahead of her to enter the cavern. She is too far back in line to see anything interesting (I think). She remains ready to attack any enemies that might jump out of the shadows though.

Kale stand there and gazes at the Hyadra, It's about 45 feet long, has a body as big as a full grown human, it is wrap in dirty berial linnen and has a head of a human. But it has no eyes just black holes, for hair it has seven big serpents about 10 feet long and has a frok toung that slidders in and out (for tasting the scent of it's vicim). It strikes ak the three colts (and invisible Kale). Biting four times, colt #1 for 11hp, colt #2 for 10hp, colt #3 for 12hp and even though Kale is invisable get bit for 11hp.
It raises to strike again, But now sences that there are others in the cavern. It's toung slithers in and out (taking in your scent) will turn in your direction.
Ofcourse the colts are screeming in paine.
OOC: Again tell me where you are, WHAT your doing, WHAT you seeing, Where you are in the cavern (if you in there yet, WHERE),IF in Battle whith what and where you are aiming on the monster. The monster is now comming south, almost in the middle of the of the map.
IT'S COMMING TO GET YOU. . .
Your turn!

realizing that the undead serpent can see him, Kale abandon's his plan to free the centaurs and draws his swords and attacks the closest head(hit AC 23 and 22 for 12 and 14 pts of damage). "Attack it with your bows!" Kale screams out as he prepares to be bitten again(now visible)
Brahmah (AC 24, dodge vs Zombie Hydra) d20+12=25 2d8(3+8)+12=23 Sunday May 25th, 2003 1:34:39 AM
Brahmah gives a loud scream as he charges forward, head low, to crash in this strange zombie.
"FOR DOMI!!!" can be heard just before he makes contact with the monster.
OOC: hits AC 25 for 23 damage.
Taric (AC 23) d20+5=21 2d6(5+2)=7 Sunday May 25th, 2003 1:37:49 AM
A shiver runs along Taric's spine when he lays eyes on the monstrosity. He makes sure to stay in the back, just left of the entrance to the cave. He shoots his crossbow at the monster, trying to hit one of the serpent heads.
OOC: hits AC 21 for 7 damage
Brahmah(Jay) Sunday May 25th, 2003 2:36:00 AM
OOC: I'm back. By the way, Brahmah doesn't use scimitars anymore, he uses Falchions. :) Can I receive a combat map please??
Kanchana Sunday May 25th, 2003 2:34:03 PM
Kanchana is standing in the doorway next to the right-handside doorjamb looking at the monster. Her eyes are round and wide open as she studies the beast. She slides her scimitar into its sheath and takes her crossbow off her back and readies it for firing.
Leets Monday May 26th, 2003 4:57:07 AM
"Yes Flat-Top! It's evil! We must kill this as quickly as possible!"
Looking around nervously, Leets is almost sure this is only part of a trick, and that the group could be attacked from elsewhere. Still looking from time to time at his friends fighting the hydra, the young centaur paladin mainly looks behind and around, trying to detect any movement in the shadows...
Flat-top d20+13=33 d20+8=17 d8+10=18 d8+10=16 Monday May 26th, 2003 7:05:06 AM
"That's all I want to know. I though for a moment THAT was a mirage." Flat-top will charges when it on a down attack on them and aims at the head trying ti split the head. Flat-top hit the head (Ac33) for 18hp. and on his up swong the centaur hit the body (ac17) for 18hp. of damages. Then tries to move out of reach for the next attack.

Kale hits the Zombie twice, he barly misses one of the snake (he hit the side of the head insted) but kills the other snake. Flat-top charging the Zombie kills one snake, and slices another, the snake went flying and died at Leets feet (Still wiggling). Ironarm hit the zombie and does 7 points of damage,and he ducks as running up behind him is Kah.
Up against the left wall are Taric who shoots a bolt into the Zombie (doing and 7point of damages and Kachana slides along beside him not beleiving her eyes. The rest of you enter the scene and plan at what to do next.
The Zombie reels and sways, his mouth is open but you hear no sound. He lifts his body high and fall downward, the snakes attacks with bites Kale for 11hp, Brahmah 18hp,Flat-top for 13hp and Kah for 12hp.
The colts are screeming in the back ground? "HELP! HELP!" The rest now see the way the Zombie tears into his victems. You know if you don't stop him, He'll go on an on and on. .
OK! You can now go have your hot dog and I'll meet all of you here tomomow. . .

Kanchana (Addendum) Tuesday May 27th, 2003 12:47:04 AM

Not able anymore to stay away from the battle while the colts are suffering, Leets once again makes his shield shining, focusing Domi's holy power through the holy symbol of the Taur's father. He will try to make the hydra go backward, so that it canniot attack the colts anymore...

Flat-top hits the Zombie with a up wards blow, the follow another atrtack with a downward blow, then trying to get away with out getting bit again. Turns and waits for anopening to attack again.

The Zombie is attack left and right, Brahmah attacts it in the chest area, his horns caving it in the chest. The Bolts hits the Zombie and the dry dust flies about like a sand storm. Leet's holly symble does not work on this zombie, something else must be animateing it. The bolts from Kanchana and Taric hit in diffrent places, but still 'IT' advances. Kale and Flat-top weapons strikes are doing alot of damages, BUT it is Kenishas Lightning Bolts shaters the Zombie's body. . . . Except? For the Head with Four snakes left on the head. . . AND those snakes attacks and bit, Flat-top for 15hp. Brahmah for 14hp. Kale for 12hp. Kah for 15hp.
Now my beauties you know the body is dead, now all you have to do is kill the head. Easy you say? Well you just try it??

The Chosens leader strikes out again at the nasty snakes. Attacking the base of the neck in which the four heads extend from. With whirling blades and fierce determination, Brahmah swings at the beast.
Brahmah hits AC 16 and 27 (natural 20), for 16 and 12 damage respectively.
"Chosen, for Domi and the colts!"
Kenisha 3d4(4+1+2)+3=10 Tuesday May 27th, 2003 10:58:20 PM
Fearing to let loose with another Lightning Bolt with so many near the still moving remains of the monster, Kenisha decides instead to concentrate all three bolts from a Magic Missile at one of the snake heads (for 10 HP of damage)
Taric d4+1=4 Wednesday May 28th, 2003 12:47:12 AM
Taric decides to change tactics. He first casts a spell on himself to multiply his appearances. He then moves straight through the cavern into the direction of the colts, trying to reach them as fast as possible.
OOC: casting 'mirror image' on himself. Four images appear.
Kale d20+6=20 d20+6=15 d10+5=12 d10+5=7 Wednesday May 28th, 2003 7:18:21 AM

Flat-top d20+13=18 d20+8=23 d8+10=15 d8+10=13 Wednesday May 28th, 2003 9:32:36 AM
Flat-top Comes to a halt, "I know what you mean, Kale. Those snakes sometimes take chunk of flesh with their bites. Magic don't seem to faze them?"
Flat-top will charge again, hiting Ac 18 and another Ac 23, damaging them for 15hp on One snake and hitting the skull for 13hp, with the other swing. The run to the edge of the snake reach.
Kanchana d20+4=13 d20+5=24 Wednesday May 28th, 2003 10:29:26 AM
Kanchana removes the bolt, secures the light crossbow and then immediately stows it away on her back again. She checks her wand and draws her scimitar. She trusts the others to take care of the hydra. Kanchana looks behind herself to see if anything or anyone is sneaking up behind her. (listen 13, spot 24)

There's only four snakes left, They spring foward and move the zombie head forward a little, but can still reach about 20 feet for an attack. They attack Flat-top for 15hp. Ironarm for 15hp. Brahmah for 11hp and misses Kale all together. Brahmah kills one of the Snakes,But miss the other Snake when he got bit again. Ironarm gets kills one snake as he tried to get to his son. Flat-top Charging kills one snake. Kale comes very close to getting his target, but misses. Kenisha magic missels hit the skull causing it to move. Taric moves to where the colts are, once there he'll untie the one closes to him. The colt that Kale untied before the fight, is now trying to untie the third colt. Kanchana hear nothing and see nothing as she move along. Ceira tries to hit the moving head with her magic missels, but with a moving skull the missels misses the snake and into the skull moving further towards the colts.
That leaves One Snake left and he's wiggling and twisting trying to get to the colts, for one more victem. . .
Hmmm! some of you are getting low on your hit points, that mean that I have one more chance to get myself a victem. See you tomorow, Sweets.
Kenisha 3d4(4+3+4)+3=14 Wednesday May 28th, 2003 11:46:36 PM
Kenisha attacks one of the still living/attacking SNAKES (as I stated last round not the dead zombie's head as Ceil misread it) for (14 HP of damage).
Dear Kenisha, DM Sam has left me to end this scene by June 1st. Leaving me with this Boss Momster, magic don't work on these snakes (unless your one strike and hit the magic number) Like today, your magic missels almost killed the last snake, you've been very close. But I must follow DM Sam's instructions.
Taric Thursday May 29th, 2003 1:24:31 AM
Taric whispers a quick "move away from the beast" to the two free colts. "I'll untie the last of you and make sure he will be ok."
Five Taric's interpose themselves between the zombie hydra and the last bound colt, trying fervously to free it from its bonds.

Brahmah hits the remaining snake with his Falchions with heavy, tired blows. Blood coarses through his veins and out of large bites and gashes on various parts of his body. (Hits AC 23 and AC 17 for 17 and 14 damage totaling 31 damage) "I hate snakes."

Kanchana d8+2=10 Thursday May 29th, 2003 9:35:58 AM
Kanchana takes her chances and hurries over to Brahmah laying her right hand very gently on one of his bleeding wounds. "Its only me. Please don't make any attacks my way Brahmah. I see that you do not look too well at the moment," Kanchana says to him after speaking words of healing. Kanchana is standing directly behind Brahmah, but with enough distance to touch him yet not hamper his movement overmuch. She is still holding her scimitar in her left hand. (Casts Cure Light Wounds on Brahmah, heals 10 pts of dmg)
Kale d20+5=25 d20+5=24 3d6(6+2+5)=13 Thursday May 29th, 2003 11:18:03 AM
Kale sheaths his swords and pulls out his bow. aiming carefully(-1 to his so i dont hit anyone in melee) he shoots at the last moving head(critical hit, 24 confirmed hit for 13 damage)
Leets Thursday May 29th, 2003 11:43:50 AM
Seeing enough of his friend trying to hit a single head, the centaur paladin thinks that one more fighter would be useless. Instead, he tries to put himself between the head and the colts, protecting them (full defense).
Ceira Thursday May 29th, 2003 11:51:00 AM
Ceira is puzzled by the reaction of her Magic Missles in her recent barrage. But she is quick to realize her err.
If the monster is not down yet, Ceira whips out her crossbow and loads a bolt to be fired in the next round.
"At Last It's Done" {Adm Ceil} Thursday May 29th, 2003 8:44:46 PM
The snake wind to strike to it's full 20 feet, the fangs dripping with blood. When Brahmah hits the snake with a felchion and at the same time Kenisha hits the snake with magic Missles, Kale (who is a little bit hurting)aims an arrow at the snake. All this is done at the same time The Snake Dies. Flat-top turns to attack again, sees that he don't have to, but Brahmah is looking bad, so he goes over to prop him up by putting his arm around his shoulders. Kanchana sees that Brahmah need healing right away, give him a healing hand. Leets and Ironarm heards the colts to the entrance of the cavern (for safty) Ceira sooths the colts fears and wipes their tears away. Now you can relaxe the deed is done and the evil is gone.
Now for the trip back to the village, and what to do with the two colt bodies you found along the way? What do you do before leaving?
Well See you tomorow??
Taric d20+4=16 d20+4=24 Friday May 30th, 2003 1:49:23 AM
Taric wipes away the sweat from his forehead, happy the danger is over for now. Seeing the colts being taken care of he looks around in the cavern, wondering why the colts would have been brought here. He walks around a bit, trying to find some clues to this mystery as he realizes that if the colts were meant for food, they would have been eaten by now.
OOC: if needed, search-check = 16 int-check = 24
Brahmah Friday May 30th, 2003 2:00:24 AM
Having received some healing, the Captain regains balance and thanks his friends for their literal support.
"Chosen, I'll like suggestions about what to do next. I think we should move the colt bodies back to the village. Ironarm, would that satisfy you?"
Brahmah then looks at his Chosen. "Well done, Domi's Chosen."
Kenisha d20+3=14 Friday May 30th, 2003 6:12:02 AM
Kenisha also looks around for clues. Something doesn't add up right and it bothers her, even though her first instinct is to just herd everyone out.
(Search check = 14)
Kale Friday May 30th, 2003 9:28:33 AM
nodding at Brahmah's words, Kale says "Look for some treasure. Creatures like this always have treasure." then Kale slumps to the ground, breathing hard
Kanchana d8+2=9 Friday May 30th, 2003 12:01:52 PM
Kanchana looks around the cavern at her fellow Chosen, and sees Kale slump to the ground. "Oh no! Hang on Kale I will be at your side forthwith." Kanchana immediately rushes to Kale's side and mutters a few quiet words of healing while gently touching his arm. "I hope this helps Kale. Does Anyone else have any serious wounds needing immediate attention?" (Casts Cure Light Wounds on Kale, healing 9 pts of dmg)
Flat-top Friday May 30th, 2003 2:17:02 PM
Since Brahmah is stronger now, Flat-top sees tha Kenchana give him a boust of health, but kale is still very pale. Asking if Kah has any healing potion to give Kale.
"Captain! How about if we look into the west opening that should be where the cloth to wrap the Centers body in? I hope we can find some bags to put anything we find into it."
Flat-top will search all along the wall, and when hes at the cave opening He'll enter.
Brahmah Friday May 30th, 2003 6:43:42 PM
"Where is Kah? Is he dead?" The Captain looks around.
"The Search and ThenBack to the Village" Adm Ceil Friday May 30th, 2003 7:27:44 PM
You search all around, looking here and there picking up items that look good.
You also go into the opening in the west wall, You see that there's light (scones inbeded into the rocky wall light)and in the middle of the cave there a open Scarcopehes (Mummies Coffen). The lock is broken and the lid is on the floor. there in there are gold , chains with icons, Jems and a few scrols. In one corner is a few barrels and in them is wine, ale, gold coins and a few unidentifed items.
You pack all you can and start your way back to nthe village. Bring back three live Colts and of course also two Dead young ones. . .
Assistent dm Ceil Friday May 30th, 2003 7:44:09 PM
OOC: Dear Players DM Sam will be back June 2nd and will give us our hard earned Xpoints and Gold.
I had fun these 21 posts, DM Sam gave me less than 18 hours to come up with my posts. He gave me a free hand with this story, ExCEPT for the Big Boss Of the story, He gave me strick orders on how to play him. I know you didn't agree with me about how it some times the way the battles came out, But that how the dice rolled. The boss (Zombie with the Snakes for hair) came out of DM Sams imagination. Like Captain Jay said "Sadistic DMs :P~~~~~~"
As For Kah (Troy)I don't know, I have E-mailed him But no answer. If you hear from him Please let me know.
Leets Saturday May 31st, 2003 5:03:29 PM
The centaur paladin stays with the colts, finally glad to see this story over...
"Is all ok young ones? Who is wounded?"
Says Leets as he picks a cure moderate wounds potion from his backpack.
Brahmah d8+1=2 Saturday May 31st, 2003 5:22:53 PM
The Captain hobbles along with the other Chosen. The treasure confuses him, the unidentified items especially; do they look like weapons? And of the Sarcophogus? Was it the monsters coffin or was the monster just guarding something?
"Does anyone know what these are? What types of gems are they?" The Captain pats one of the colts on the head and continues to move along. "Leets, I could use a healing hand." As he drinks a Cure Light Potion from his pack. (heals 2 points) He then pulls out three red apples and a bottle of fine wine. Hands an apple to each colt and one to Ceira. The minotaur then unstoppers the bottle then swigs a gulp then hands it of to Flat-top. "Drink friend?"
Flat-top d8+5=13 Saturday May 31st, 2003 7:43:21 PM
Flat-top Look over to Kale, See tha he's in trouble Goes to him, "Hmm! a little pale in the face there, friend. Drink this (Hands Kale a potion of cure moderate wounds - gains 13hp). Then helps him over to Brahmah with the Wine Bottle, Flat-top takes a big gulp of wine Then Cough a couple of times tell Brahmah "Ahh! smooooth!"
Then for the sad duty of wraping the dead colts body (in a rug that he found)for the trip back to his village. "Soon You'll be back home to rest."
Kenisha Sunday June 1st, 2003 11:56:12 PM
"Let's get back to the village, this cave is unsettling." Kenisha says with a shiver.
Brahmah Monday June 2nd, 2003 12:09:17 AM
"Yes Kenisha, the cave smells of death."
Kanchana Monday June 2nd, 2003 12:31:40 AM
Kanchana casts Detect Magic on any remaining treasure, and then takes anything magical and any coins. She also will wait to see if any of the wounded will approach her for any healing, if none bother to then she will get a move on out of the cave. "Chosen, if we ever gain any excess party funds then I recommend that we invest in one or two party Wands of Healing. My personal Wand of Healing will not last forever I'm afraid."
(Casts Detect Magic on the treasure pile. Concentrates for 2 minutes)
Taric Monday June 2nd, 2003 2:35:02 AM
Taric is still thinking about the strange situation they found. Something seemed amiss, but he couldn't tell what though. Shaking his head he decides to just follow the others out of the cave in the direction of the village, but he makes a few quick notes on a piece of paper, so he can think about it again later. He also writes down some pointers to find the way back to the cavern in case they need to return.
Flat-top Monday June 2nd, 2003 6:31:57 AM
"I agree with you Taric, The Zombies, the ghouls, The mummies we have been comming across lately. Leets does this sounds familure?" Wonders Flat-top. "Almost something or someone is dogging us??"
With the help of others, Flat-top will carry the wrap bodies of the two dead colts back to the village.
Aftermath(dm sam) Monday June 2nd, 2003 10:14:53 AM
after everyone has healed up suffenciently, the Chosen leave the cave with the two centaurs and dragging the two dead ones. once they exit the cave they see both Ironarm and Kal waiting for them. Ironarm, who seems on the verge of collapsing, brightens up immediatly upon the Chosen emergence from the cave. he runs to one of the centaurs and hugs him fiercely to his chest. "MY son, I though I'd never see you again." he says and both father and son begin to cry. Kal, on the other hand, is as white as a sheet. those that go near him can smell vomit on his breath, and he's sweating profusely. its obvious that he never been in a situation like this before.
those that choose to examine the treasure more closely find the following items : three scrolls, a set of hide armor, four potions, a wand, a small bead, and quail feather. along with all the items there is 5 small bags with various coins in them(totaling 500 gps).
Ceira Monday June 2nd, 2003 12:25:04 PM
Ceira cringes from Kal's stench as she approaches but she holds it back. She will use her waterskin to wet a piece of cloth and begin wiping away any excess vomit that got on him. This cleaning job is something she has grown used to doing from babysitting back at her village.
Ceira will attempt to identify the items present.
Leets Monday June 2nd, 2003 2:48:27 PM
"Although we should feel better after all those events, I feel a heavier shadow threatening Centaur Island, and I bet we have not finished our quest here...Soon another evil will rise on this land..."
"I'm glad you found your son safe, Ironarm, but I wonder how the other families will react...There are two bodies to bring back to the village, and who deserves funerals..."
If there are any icons of Marteaus cult in the loot, Leets will claim them and destroy them by the fire on the evening.
Flat-top Monday June 2nd, 2003 6:28:17 PM
"Ah! You look better now, Kale. Your tatoos are not so pale now. Would you help me put one of the bodies on my back. Thank-you."
Then Flat-top is ready for the trip Back to the village. "Are we going to identafy the magic items now or wait untill we get to the village?"
Kenisha Monday June 2nd, 2003 8:37:44 PM
"I say we should wait til we are back at the village. But it's Brahmah's call." Kenisha says with a heavy voice.
Kanchana Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 12:10:12 AM
Kanchana guesses that there were no magic items in the treasure since her Detect Magic spell yielded no information. Kanchana will help carry the treasure since that is light enough for her to carry.
(OOC: I take it that the Detect Magic spell that Kanchana cast and Concentrated on for 2 rounds last turn didn't yield any information)
Taric Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 12:35:04 AM
Taric agrees with the others.
"Let's get back to the village first. That will be the safest place to rest a bit and regain our strength."
Taric awaits Brahmah's order to start the journey back towards the village.
Brahmah Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 2:13:44 AM
Brahmah stands up and hefts his pack. "Chosen, let's move." He pauses for everyone to ready their packs and saddlebags.
"We should not identify these items here. It'll suck up valuable time, I think. Let's also heal up while we move. Pick up what you can carry/use of the treasure, then we go."
As the Chosen move, Brahmah will comfort the colts further by telling his funny tales from his time as a pirate, er, sailor.
Kale Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 10:42:46 AM
nodding at Brahmah's words, Kale takes up his traditional spot at the front and begins to lead the group back to the village
Back in Town(dm sam) Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 10:55:22 AM
as everyone packs up, Kanchana's spell finally takes effect and all the items that the group found light up, though none of them seem too powerful. as Ceira helps clean up Kal, he nods in thanks, but its obvious he still hasnt recovered. "My stomache hurts." he tells Ceira
after everyone loads up the treasure and the bodies, Kale leads the group back towards the village. it doesnt take nearly as long to get back as it did to get to the cave. after about three hours the Chosen arrive at the field just outside the village where they defended the village from the earlier zombie attack. the field has been cleared of all the bodies. off to the left side is a new graveyard. as the group approaches the village one of the centaurs from the village ride up to them and says "Startail is here and wondering where Proudhorn and his minotaurs are. I think you need to speak with him."
Ceira Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 11:04:57 AM
"It's okay Kal." soothes Ceira. She kisses her hand and then begins rubbing his stomach for a few seconds. "How is that?"
She looks at the grisly field that has been cleared. "Such madness must be stopped soon." sighs Ceira.
Kah {Ceil} Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 11:19:26 AM
As Ceira rubs his stomach, "Hmmm! That fell better, Now my lips hurt, Can you rub and kiss those?" "Tell me Ceira, Did you notice that the spell cast by Kanchana didn't take effect untill we were out of the cave?"
Flat-top Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 6:57:06 PM
After the duty of turning the small bodies to the Cleric, Flat-top "Captain, Do you want some company when you see Startail? I wonder what he has in mind? Maybe Leets should come along too,"
Kenisha Tuesday June 3rd, 2003 11:02:25 PM
"See to Startail. I have to rest. 'The Little One' is moving around vigorously." Kenisha says with a grimace. "A little too vigourously, I think."
Kanchana Wednesday June 4th, 2003 12:57:09 AM
Kanchana just shrugs at the time delay on the spell and says something half to herself about magic working in mysterious ways. Happy to see that what they found is magical, and therefore hopefully worth more, she turns her attention temporarily to other things. "Are we all going to speak with this Startail, or are some us going to start figuring out what the treasure is, and helping to bury the dead ones?"
Brahmah Wednesday June 4th, 2003 1:47:17 AM
"We will go to Startail without Kenisha. Leets should see to the colts services. And maybe Taric and Kenisha can Identify the items, or Ceira. Whoever doesn't ID the items should go with us." He pauses. "The rest of the Chosen can see Startail and find out what he wants."
Taric Wednesday June 4th, 2003 1:58:31 AM
Taric says in response to Brahmah: "Items can wait till later. Maybe I can give some kind of support when talking to Startail. I'll go with you Brahmah."
Taric turns shortly to Kenisha to make sure she is doing alright before setting off to follow the captain of the Chosen.
Kale Wednesday June 4th, 2003 10:06:43 AM
"Lets go then." Kale says to Brahmah. "Im tired and want to get this over with."
Meeting with Startail(dm sam) Wednesday June 4th, 2003 10:14:05 AM
Kenisha, Leets, and Ceira stay behind while the others head into the village. as they go Ironarm says "Ill go with you. I have a feeling you'll need my support." it takes a few minuets to find Startail, but when they do they find him accompanyed by centaur soilders armed and armored to the teeth. Startail frowns when he sees that Flat-Top is the only centaur besides Ironarm in the group, but none-the-less he walks up to Brahmah and says "Where has your group been. Where is Proudhorn and his minotaurs, and where are the rest of your people?"
Ceira d20+8=16 Wednesday June 4th, 2003 4:06:12 PM
Ceira gasps by Kah's suggestion. "Harumph!" She stalks away offended but not angry.
She goes to the magical items and attempts to identify them.
(OOC: Is it Spellcraft? 16)
Brahmah Wednesday June 4th, 2003 5:48:42 PM
Brahmah realizes that Kah has offended Ceira, so the captain pulls Ceira to one side before the meeting with Startail. "Did Kah insult you?"
The group goes off to meet with Startail. "Well met again, Startail. We rescued several colts of Ironarms tribe from a nasty beast. The Proudhorn disappeared. The rest of 'the Chosen' are recovering from battle. I should be recovering too, but you requested our presence, we're here, what do you want?" Smirks the captain, as he takes a deep breath from the long explaination. "How have you been?"
Kenisha d20+9=24 Thursday June 5th, 2003 12:03:46 AM
Kenisha smiles weakly at Taric as he asks about her. "I think everything's fine. It was probably just a little too much excitement for the little one that's all. Either that or he's going to take after his father and wanted to join in on the fight." She gives a weak laugh and then a couple of deep breaths.
After the others have left, she tries to help on the looking over of items. Without a pearl she can't cast Identify so she looks them over (Spellcraft check =24)
Flat-top Thursday June 5th, 2003 12:35:53 AM
Flat-top stans next to Brahmah, with his arm crossed, stands looking at Startail and companions "Are you on your way to war, Startail? Why all the hardware?" Flat-top does not like this at all, so out of the side of his mouth, he whispers to Brahmah 'I don't like this or the tone of his voice.'
Kanchana Thursday June 5th, 2003 12:51:45 AM
Kanchana follows behind the Chosen who go to talk with Startail. She says nothing for the moment, nor does she step to the front of the group. For now Kanchana just listens to what is said and frowns slightly at Startail's attitude. She finds Startail's behaviour to be somewhat arrogant, and wonders if this is common for him. It begins to dawn on her just how much work is left for the Chosen to do before all Taurs can be united as a people.
Taric Thursday June 5th, 2003 2:54:12 AM
Taric stays quiet in the back of the group, listening intently and keeping his eyes open, not really looking at Startail, but more at the soldiers accompanying him.
As his father once said, followers give away more than the leader.
So Taric tries to find out if the centaurs are up to something. He mentally prepares himself to make himself vanish from sight at the first sign of trouble so he can be of more assistance to the Chosen.
