Preparing to go(dm sam) Monday February 3rd, 2003 6:47:17 AM
as Ironarm, Leets, Ceira, and Kenisha travell through the village, they notice alot of activity at the other end of the village. they see villagers armed with all sorts of farming tools running around all over the place. a couple of times they see a wounded centaur being tended to, and right before they arrive at Ironarm's house they see a large group of centaurs carrying shovels head out from the direction they came from. once they get to Ironarm's house, the Chosen see that his home is in fact a blacksmith shop. "The berries are in the back of the shop." Ironarm says to Leets. "They are in a small barrel. Whatever you dont use im going to send to the battle site. Also, in the corner next to the barrel are a few items that I dont need. When we go back take them with you and see if you or any of your friends can use them." then Ironarm goes back into his home to get one of Surefoot's items. Meanwhile, back at the edge of the village, Brahmah, Kale, Flat-Top, and Taric see a group of centaurs with shovels arrive on the scene. they begin to disperse and it looks like they are looking for something
Brahmah Monday February 3rd, 2003 5:25:49 PM
Brahmah walks right up to one of the shovel carrying centaurs and asks, "Who or what are you looking for?"
Flat-top Monday February 3rd, 2003 5:43:32 PM
Flat-top (who is behind Brahmah)ask Captain Brahmah, "Can I help? What are we looking for? Does any body have some water I'm Tirsty?"
Kale Monday February 3rd, 2003 9:15:29 PM
Kale walks behind Brahmah but doesnt do anything that appears to be threatening
Kenisha Monday February 3rd, 2003 11:49:13 PM
Kenisha helps carry the things as requested. "We'll do our best to find your son and the others. Whatever evil is doing this must be rooted out."
Taric Monday February 3rd, 2003 11:49:35 PM
Taric keeps an eye out to everybody to make sure nothing strange is happening. Turning to Flat-Top he says: "Sorry Flat-Top, I don't have any water with me."
Ceira Tuesday February 4th, 2003 1:23:02 AM
As she treks through the village, Ceira's legs seem to tremble as she walks. Her nervousness and uneasiness with the excessive number of centaurs are apparent. Nonetheless, she tries to remain firm in her resolve as a member of Domi's Chosen. "I must learn to cope." she mutters to herself. "I'll get the hang of this someday."
At Ironarm's shop, Ceira takes a handful of berries (OOC: Twelve?) and places them in her belt pouch. She then proceeds to help Kenisha carry out some of Ironarm's things.
Diggers and Treasures(dm sam) Tuesday February 4th, 2003 6:32:45 AM
as Brahmah, Flat-Top, Kale, and Taric walk up to one of the centaurs, they can see that he is uneasy. after Brahmah asks his question, a look of anger flashes across the centaurs face. it looks like for a moment that he may actually hit Brahmah with his shovel, but the moment passes and he quickly calms down. "We're looking for a place to bury out dead." the centaur says with a controlled voice. "Our former graveyard is dessecrated and cant be used again. Did you think we were going to leave our ancestors rotting in the sun?" at the mention of his ancestors, the centaur grips his shovel very tightly, his knuckles turning white. the other centaurs stop looking and start coming to their centaur companion.
back at Ironarm's house, Leets, Kenisha, and Ceira gather up the items Ironarm told them about(this is your treasure from the last module. Ill send a list out this evening on what everything is). as Ceira puts some of the berries in her pouch, Ironarms comes back. he's put on a suit of studded leather armor. he also has a longbow slung around his back, and his big hammer he carried with him before is hanging on his belt, as is a large steel shield. seeing what Ceira did Ironarm says "Those wont last much longer. A druid friend of mine enchanted those about a week ago. I think they're only good for about two more hours. Id go ahead and eat them if I was you." then Ironarm grabs a few of the berries and pops them into his mouth. A few bruises that were on his face dissapear once he's eaten them. then he picks up the barrel and says "Are we ready to go?"
Kale Tuesday February 4th, 2003 6:36:01 AM
Kale comes up to Brahmah and whispers"Leave him to his task. Its obvious its taking a toll on him without our interference."
Flat-top Tuesday February 4th, 2003 7:48:45 AM
Flat-top listens and know that the centaurs will not take the words of a minotaur. "No Sir, That is not what we though, we are the Chosens and this is Big Minotaur here is Captain Brahmar. I'm sure he want to know if you need our help? Do you have extra shovels?" Flat-top turn to Brahmar and Whispers to him,*Careful remember that minotaurs are enermies to centaurs, Just give them sweet words and SMILE.*
Leets Tuesday February 4th, 2003 9:13:02 AM
"If the berries are lost if not used...then."
Leets also swallows a handful of berries, hoping that nobody else will need it.
"You know Kenisha, I also feel a great evil at work in all this...I pray Domi so that he can finally get his revenge on this so-called new god Marteaus and make him pay for all this..."
Kenisha Tuesday February 4th, 2003 9:38:30 PM
Kenisha smiles at Leets. "I guess you are right." Making sure she doesn't take the last of them, Kenisha chews on a few of the berries as well.
"I think we are ready. Let's get back."
(ooc-Are these Goodberries as per the spell?)
Taric Tuesday February 4th, 2003 9:46:58 PM
Getting a bit nervous from the looks of the centaurs at him Taric makes sure he stays close to the other Chosen, gladly letting Flat-Top do the talking.
Brahmah Wednesday February 5th, 2003 2:24:33 AM
His hands quickly reach for his Falchions as a reaction to the centaurs gesture, but doesn't draw them when he sees the centaur calm down.
A bit upset at the centaur, Brahmah grits his teeth, but does nothing. Talking between his teeth, almost snarling, "Yes, we would like to help if.... possible, to burrrry yur dead. I meant no disrespect."
Turning to Flat-top, Brahmah answers his friend, whispering, "No one better than me remembers that cenTaurs are not friendly to minoTaurs, and vise versa. I'm trying to change that... we're trying to change that! The Chosen are changing that!"
Calming down(dm sam) Wednesday February 5th, 2003 6:45:56 AM
calming down a bit more after hearing Brahmah's and Flat-Top's words, the centaur says "We need to find a place for the graveyard first. We were hoping to find a place near here, but I dont think their spirits will rest easy here. If you want to help, you can help us cover the bodies." then the centaur and a couple of his companions pull out large pieces of tarp and place them on the ground. the centaurs each pick up a piece and move to the nearest centaur body. "If you want, you can burn those bodies."the centaur says as he points to the slain minotaurs. "Thats our plan for those."
back at Ironarm's shop, the centaur pulls out a sooty, burnt apron and hands it to Leets. "Here's his force apron. If anything has his scent on it, it will be this. Now lets get back to your friends. Ill tell you what your carry on our way back(see email).
Brahmah Wednesday February 5th, 2003 7:42:51 AM
OOC: What is the standard ritual for minotaur corpses?
The Captain looks at the bodies. "Hmmm.... I hope their spirits are at peace and traveling to the Lands of the Dead quickly.
May the spirits of these Taur warriors have an HONORABLE rest." (Thinking to himself that their tactics were far from honorable, but maybe his speech will make an impression on the centaurs)
He looks around. "Sure they were evil, but they are Taurs at the core." He then hefts a body up and begins to build a pyre well away from the town and away from the forest. Brahmah has a look of anguish and pain on his face while he does this. (Thinking that more dead taurs isn't what the Chosen need.)
Leets Wednesday February 5th, 2003 11:51:11 AM
"Ok Ironarm, this should be fine" says Leets taking the apron and leaving the house. He then calls his dog, and talks to him:
"Come on my dog! Look at this...Yes, now you have to find the owner, ok Managarm? Search my dog! and find him, he's a friend of us!"
Flat-top Wednesday February 5th, 2003 1:36:54 PM
Flat-top knows what Brahmah and Kale are going through. "Your right! Captain, Even when we were fighting them, they are still Taurs. I'll help you with these Taurs and The Village Taurs will Look for a proper place for their Dead to rest." Flat-top look into both minotaurs sad face and ask, "What do you want me to do first?"
Flat-top hopes that the othere centaurs would feel a little guilty, after all the Chosen Ones did fight for them.
Kenisha Wednesday February 5th, 2003 8:58:22 PM
Kenisha follows Ironarm back out and back to the others.
Ceira Thursday February 6th, 2003 12:23:53 AM
Ceira runs back to the barrel and grabs another handful of berries.
When she finds her friends, she starts handing out all the berries to those who need them.
"Ironarm is also offering these items of interest." says Ceira as she puts the goods down. "Up for grabs!"
Taric Thursday February 6th, 2003 1:29:33 AM
Taric follows his leader's lead by helping carrying one of the dead minotaurs. He never understood the animosity between the minotaurs and the centaurs, even though his dad tried to explain it to him. Seeing Brahmah, a fellow minotaur, with this look on his face makes him remember his father's sayings again.
"Hopefully soon we can all live in peace together." Taric says softly, while carrying on with the job which needs to be done.
Kale Thursday February 6th, 2003 7:06:11 AM
seeing the others dealing with the minotaurs, Kale helps the centaurs cover the other dead bodies. "Those minotaurs arn't worth the effort." he says quietly to himself
Together again(dm sam) Thursday February 6th, 2003 7:12:42 AM
as Brahmah, Flat-Top, Taric, and Kale assist the centaurs in covering and burning the dead, Ironarm brings back the other memebers of the Chosen. "Here, eat some of these." Ironarm says as he puts the barrel of berries down. "They will heal your wounds(for every berry you eat you heal 1 hp back. there are more than enough berries to heal everyone in the party.)" then Ironarm says "A soon as you decide what items you want we'll head out. Did you find any trace of my son and his companions?"
Leets & Managarm d20+1=17 Thursday February 6th, 2003 7:36:26 AM
Waiting for any info his friends could bring back, Leets follows his dog as he searches for Ironarm's son track (OOC:scent quality, wisdom check of 17, don't know how it works exactly).
"Search Managarm, and find our friend!"
Flat-top Thursday February 6th, 2003 12:55:46 PM
Flat-top stops for a minute to take a handful if berries. He eats enough berries to bring his hp up to 73. "Hmmm! these burry are very good and tasty, I feel stronger alreary." He whispers to Kenisha, 'We have a very good Minotaur in Brahmah, he is controling his rage very well, I admire the choice Domi made in this one, I hop that one day Domi will send us more Chosen Ones.'
Brahmah Thursday February 6th, 2003 11:22:09 PM
Brahmah happily eats enough berries to heal him fully. "You know, if you made some wine with these, it might make a great vintage." Says the Chosen leader in Tauric. "We shouldn't worry so much about who gets what of the treasure, we need to find the centaurs."
Kenisha Friday February 7th, 2003 12:17:03 AM
"I agree Brahmah, but I know for myself (if not for Taric and Ceira) that I'm almost drained of my magical abilities at the moment. Those potions and the wand will go along way towards helping in case we run into any more trouble out there." Kenisha says as she finishes munching on a few of the berries.
Taric Friday February 7th, 2003 12:39:28 AM
Taric takes his share of the berries. Feeling a lot better afterwards he follows the ongoing conversation.
"We better get going if we want to find the boy." says Taric softly, barely audible to the others.
Ceira Friday February 7th, 2003 2:27:44 AM
Ceira grabs a couple more berries and pops them in her mouth. She doesn't need the healing... she's just hungry.
"Good point Kenisha. I still have a couple more spells up my sleeve..." Ceira looks down at her bare arms, "Umm, nevermind about the sleeves. Anyways, I was a bit conservative in our recent battle so that's why I am passing up that wand for you or Taric."
"Let's see if we can find your son."
Kale Friday February 7th, 2003 7:16:47 AM
Kale grabs a handful of berries and begins to munch on them. "I found some centaur tracks over that way." Kale says as he points in the direction of the tracks he found. "There are four of them, I think."
Starting up(Dm sam) Friday February 7th, 2003 7:20:54 AM
as the group reunites, everyone takes some berries and chows down(everyone is fully healed after they eat). the centaurs continue to cover up the bodies. when Leets gives his companion the forge apron to smell, the dog sniffs it, but after a moment he just shakes his head a few times and looks around in confusion. It appears there are too many smells in the area for him to handel. after hearing what Kale says, Ironarm asks him "Can you show me where they are?"
Brahmah d20-1=12 Friday February 7th, 2003 7:52:27 AM
Brahmah stands after feeding his face, then says; "Chosen, we're going Taur hunting. Um... well, not hunting, more like searching I suppose... Er umm...." Clears his throat. "...shall we." He hefts up his gear and begins to get ready for the hike.
(He assists whoever is Tracking, Wilderness Lore 12)
Flat-top Friday February 7th, 2003 8:49:46 AM
Flat-top pick up more berries, he's hungry and has a tenancy of eating like a horse. Pack his saddle bag, putting it on his rump. Picking up the +1 sword, swishing the new sword a couple of times, "Hmm! Nice balance I like this Sword. Captain may I keep it?" Flat-top also pick up two big hands full of berries and follows the others. He munch and mumbles "Munch! munch, mumble, gulp! Over where?"
Brahmah Saturday February 8th, 2003 3:32:00 AM
Answering Flat-top, "Sure, whatever pulls your tail friend."
Ceira Sunday February 9th, 2003 3:42:59 PM
"Tracks? Good job Kale!" says Ceira. "Let's go check it out.
Kenisha Monday February 10th, 2003 12:04:59 AM
Kenisha smiles. "Yes, lead on Kale."
Taric Monday February 10th, 2003 1:05:19 AM
Taric turns to Ceira and Kenisha.
"I'm not really fond of those type of spells. I guess Kenisha can find a use for it." says Taric softly.
He then starts following the others, making sure not to disturb them in their tracking work.
Leets Monday February 10th, 2003 8:40:52 AM
"Good dog..." Says the centaur paladin as he gives a hug to the golden sheperd. "Maybe we'll be more lucky a little bit later..."
Wearing his backpack, Leets follows Brahmah, still worried about the presence of Marteaus' minions on the island...
Kale Monday February 10th, 2003 12:23:19 PM
"OK, follow me." Kale says as he leads the group where the footprints are
Find the Road(dm sam) Monday February 10th, 2003 12:25:57 PM
as the party gathers together, Ironarm takes the now half empty barrel over to the nearest centaur and informs him to pass out the remaining berries to the wounded. then the Chosen pick out what items they think they can use then Kale leads them to where he found the centaur tracks
Kale Monday February 10th, 2003 12:27:20 PM
"Leets, why dont you tell your dog to come up front with me. Im sure he'll be able to help me track once we get into the woods." Kale says to Leets
Flat-top Monday February 10th, 2003 3:19:08 PM
Takes the sword and swishes the weapon back and forth, "Hmm! Nice balance, I like it." Flat top follows te trio ahead of him, Girls your lagging behind, Tauric where are you?"
Kenisha Monday February 10th, 2003 10:24:44 PM
Rolling her eyes at Flat-top's retreating backside, Kenisha retorts with, "Give me a break, my shanks are killing me. Don't they look swollen to you Ceira?"
Ceira Tuesday February 11th, 2003 12:17:18 AM
"Just a little." Ceira tells Kenisha with a wink. "Carrying around that little one in your tummy must be quite a burden. Whenever you need a rest, just holler okay?"
Taric Tuesday February 11th, 2003 12:40:05 AM
Taric follows around silently, still confused about everything that's going on. He never imagined himself being in a situation like this, actually trying to rescue somebody. He cannot say he doesn't like the feeling, but right now it's overwhelming him. Trying to keep his eyes focused he just makes sure to follow the others.
Brahmah d20=7 Tuesday February 11th, 2003 1:46:46 AM
The warrior lags behind, trying to make sure the ladies are safe. Stragglers in a pride have a tendency to be taken by predators. Though, the leader says nothing about the ladies slowing down the party a bit, he understands. After all, it was Kenisha's choice to continue to travel with the Chosen after having an opportunity to stay at the Hearthold Keep and tend too the wee-one.
Looking around and not being nearly the tracker he'd like to be, Brahmah merely glances around in passing at the tracks (Wilderness Lore, Tracking + ranger enemy is a 7, urg!)
Seeing Taric somewhat troubled, Brahmah walks over to the spellcaster. "What's wrong Friend!?" He blurts out none to quietly or diplomatically. "Tell me your worries. Is it yur hooves?"
Leets Tuesday February 11th, 2003 10:59:10 AM
"Have you heard what Kale asked for Managarm? So go for it my dog!"
The dog barks and comes by Kale's side shaking his tail, trying to find some track on the ground...
"It's useless to say we'd better keep our eyes wide opened, those minions of Marteaus can use any kind of treachery to attack us..."
"...However, in a way, it reminds me of the hellhound hunt..."
Tracking(dm sam) Tuesday February 11th, 2003 2:21:03 PM
with Kale in the lead, the party arrives at the tracks a few minuets after they leave the battle site. once they arrive at the tracks, its pretty obvious that they enter the woods(everyone make an wisdome check). Ironarm says "I did send them around this way. I wonder why they entered the woods?"
Kale d20+2=16 Tuesday February 11th, 2003 2:23:35 PM
(it of 16)"Well, im pretty sure I can follow these tracks through the woods with Managarm's help. Shall we go?"
Flat-top Tuesday February 11th, 2003 5:25:33 PM
Flat-top start to Follow "OK! I'm Game." Then he think of what he just said, He puts up both his hands yelling, "NO! NO! I don't mean I'm game, I mean Lets go!" Flat-top breathes a sigh of relief. "Yoou people are much too high strung."
Kenisha d20+2=12 Tuesday February 11th, 2003 10:27:38 PM
"Maybe they spotted something or someone?" Kenisha offers as a possible answer to Ironarm.
Taric d20+4=19 Wednesday February 12th, 2003 1:38:23 AM
Taric thoughts are suddenly disturbed by the words of his friend and captain. Turning to the huge Minotaur he says softly, a confused look in his eyes: "All this fighting, all those dead. Living dead. Conspiracies...." his voice fades off, like he gets lost again in his troubling confusion, but after a few secondes he continues, softer than before: "I don't know if I'm ready for all this. It's all so fast, so chaoric, so deadly...."
Taric keeps on walking while looking at the path in front of him, still mauling about everything that happened in the past hours.
((OOC: wisdomcheck = 19))
Taric, correcting mistake Wednesday February 12th, 2003 1:39:50 AM
OOC: my apologies for my second post. Wisdom-check = 15 (no bonus)
Brahmah d20-2=-1 Wednesday February 12th, 2003 3:16:27 AM
OOC: FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET NEGATIVES ON A CHECK, THIS IS FOR YOU. WISDOM CHECK -1. :)
IC: The giant taur looks at his newest friend, he also seems confused, but not for the same reasons as Taric. "Well, I think faith has alot to do with why we fight and die. Reality doesn't feel real unless there's a chance of death. That's why games are so fun, we know all there is is winning or losing, we won't die. As for those 'undead', they had a life once, like ours. They had faith, beliefs and families. The best way to look at this whole mess is just think about it like a game. I make it seem trivial, but I've lost alot of friends... they we game pieces. Pieces of MY life I've lost." He looks at his friend in hopes that his uncharacteristic philosophical rant might have helped, if only just a little bit. He smiles dumbly.
Ceira d20+1=6 Wednesday February 12th, 2003 3:26:45 AM
(OOC: Wisdom=6)
Not being very accustomed to tracking anyone in the wilderness, Ceira remains quiet and follows the group. Perhaps she should've played Hide-and-Seek more often with the other cubs from her village.
Realization(dm sam) Wednesday February 12th, 2003 9:49:28 AM
as everyone mulls around the tracks, Taric and Kale realize that if the centaurs continued on a straight line through the woods they probably would of intercepted Proundhorn's group about 60 ft into the woods.
Kale Wednesday February 12th, 2003 9:50:24 AM
"I think your right." Kale says to Kenisha. "We should get moving."
Flat-top Wednesday February 12th, 2003 2:43:45 PM
"Taric! My friend, remember you were chosen by Domi, do you know why? Because he though you were the best at what you do. Look at the girls, when we needed them the most, they were there. And look at the rest of us Fighters, each of us using our talents in our own way. All because we were chosen by Domi. Now make Domi proud, just do your very best. Now lets go tracking." Flat-top goes along with the rest, deeper into the woods.
Kenisha Wednesday February 12th, 2003 9:38:53 PM
"Don't sell yourself short, Taric." Kenisha tells him with a smile. The tallest oak tree starts as just a humble acorn. We all grow into what we are meant to be."
She gives a small laugh as her side bulges for a second. "It seems as though Junior agrees."
Taric Thursday February 13th, 2003 1:06:03 AM
Taric cannot help but smile at the advice and help from the other Chosen. He is really grateful to be one of them, to be accepted and seen as a friend, so unlike his life in the village until Aramil came along. Oh yes, Aramil.... Taric's mind seems to drift off for just a second.
He then looks at Brahmah and says: "A game of life and death. You're right my friend, we have to play this game to the best of our abilities."
Turning to Flat-Top he replies to the centaur: "Domi's way are mysterious, but unquestionable." Straightening his shoulders a bit and heaving his chest he quickly starts grinning and resumes his regular walking stance. "Well, I'm sure it was not for my physical prowess I was chosen. Just hope I don't have to use my head too much like against those undead."
Finally turning to Kenisha he nods. "We never see over the top of the mountain before we've climbed it. You're right Kenisha." Taric's eyes shine brightly, a sign of his confidence growing slowly.
"Let's find those centaurs." Looking over the trackes Taric thinks for a moment and then says: "I think they made contact with Proudhorn's group a little further in the woods. Quickly, we need to find them."
Brahmah d20-1=8 Thursday February 13th, 2003 3:16:22 AM
The Captain smiles, seeing Taric happier, gladdens this mighty warriors heart. He continues on with his friends. He hopes to help the tracking effort (Wilderness Lore 8, urg, I do have tracking, honest). "Let's find those Taurs!"
Leets d20+2=7 Thursday February 13th, 2003 4:35:07 AM
Cautious and worried, Leets tries to look around, but really doesn't like this walk through the forest...
"I really wonder why they entered those woods...That's not the kind of place an experienced warrior likes to walk, unless one searches some cover...But even in this case, they wouldn't have entered that deep in the forest...I also think they've discovered something important.."
Leets stands by Taric's side while walking...
"You know my friend, I think that none of us was prepared for the task Domi gave us...I'm just used to think that we do our best, and that we honor our Holy Father by doing so...As for the battle, you can count on any one of us if you have troubles: the Chosen share glory as well as wounds..."
Something's there(dm sam) Thursday February 13th, 2003 7:05:00 AM
no one see's anything out of place as they move to the forest. right before the Chosen enter the trees someone see's something out of place(everyone make a spot check, whoever makes the highest roll spots something)
Kale d20+7=24 Thursday February 13th, 2003 7:07:31 AM
Kale stares into the trees before he and his friends enter the woods(spot check of 24)
Kenisha d20+3=9 Thursday February 13th, 2003 7:47:47 AM
Kenisha must still be looking at her ankles..... (spot check of 9)
Ceira d20+4=18 Thursday February 13th, 2003 10:59:55 AM
(Spot=18) Not being too proficient with giving advice, Ceira only pats Taric's arm and smiles in silent support.
Flat-top d20+3=22 Thursday February 13th, 2003 4:12:26 PM
Flat-top want to keep looking at Kenisha shank, BUT thinks better of it. By following Brahmah and Kale, they have a better serch patern. Flat-top Serches the ground and trees.
OOC: 22 for serch.
Taric d20=19 Friday February 14th, 2003 12:59:36 AM
Taric takes the advice from Leets to heart, just as the help the other Chosen had given him. "We can only do our best. Let's just hope it's enough."
Feeling the hand of Ceira shortly on his shoulder Taric turns to her and gives her a warm smile, showing her how much he appreciated it and lettig her know that he is busy understanding everything better now. He still has a long way to go though, so tell his eyes.
Looking right before they enter the forest Taric looks for something suspicious.
OOC: spot-check = 19
Brahmah d20=11 Friday February 14th, 2003 1:45:18 AM
(Spot of 11)
Brahmah continues along, blissfully unaware of ANYTHING out of the ordinary. He hums a little ditty that he learned during his days on ship, however, very out of tune.
Huummmm..... "Dear taur maid, from long days past, Why have thee tied me heart to ye mast? The gulls are cryin', 'Sailors are dyin'!' You can't be leavin', or I'll be grievin', ......Your my taur love."
He blushes just a bit, after realizing he's made himself look the fool singing the old romantic sailor ballad.
Findings(dm sam) Friday February 14th, 2003 10:24:36 AM
right before the Chosen enter the forest, Kale spots something glittering in the sunlight, half buried by the nearest tree. at the front of the forest Ironarm asks "Who's going first?"(ooc, ill need a marching order)
Kale Friday February 14th, 2003 10:26:08 AM
"Whats that?" Kale asks himself as he goes over to the tree. once there he begins to dig out whatever may be buried in the dirt
Flat-top d20+3=19 Friday February 14th, 2003 10:39:18 AM
Flat-top will take the place left of Brahmah and will wait for further orders. Searchinf for anything of the enermy or out of the ordernary. "Alright! Captain, were ready to go."
OOC: search 19.
Ceira Sunday February 16th, 2003 11:16:32 PM
Ceira scurries over by Kenisha's side. "I'll stick with you." she tells her. (OOC: Last in the order)
Taric Sunday February 16th, 2003 11:45:46 PM
Taric stands close to Brahmah and Flat-Top, in the middle of the group. Not wanting to disturb anything of the search and digging he keeps his eyes on the forest.
OOC: Taric will be behind Brahmah, in the middle of the order
Kenisha d20+3=23 Sunday February 16th, 2003 11:55:16 PM
Kenisha smiles at Ceira and follows the others, watching mainly behind the group, but also to the sides.
(Spot Check of 23)
Leets d20+2=8 Monday February 17th, 2003 8:45:03 AM
Spoting absolutely nothing, Leets waits for Brahmah's orders to do something...
"I trust you Kale" wispers the centaur paladin "but I feel blind in this forest, I'm not used to walk such places..."
However, glancing in the direction pointed by Kale, Leets will try to detect evil.
Buried Treasure(dm sam) Monday February 17th, 2003 8:40:47 PM
Leets concentrates on the spot that Kale is digging, but he doesnt detect anything evil. after a few moments Kale digs up what he spied in the ground. it turns out that its a small chest with a little lock on it. the rest of the Chosen continue to search. though the others dont spot anything, Kenisha and Flat-Top hear something rattling in the bushes.
Brahmah Monday February 17th, 2003 10:44:19 PM
OOC: Current marching order is fine, Kale takes point, spellcasters and pregnant Taurs in the middle ;), Leets could take up the rear and Taric on Brahmah's right and Flat-top on his left.
"What's in the chest Kale?" Asks the Taur leader.
Kenisha Monday February 17th, 2003 11:35:17 PM
"There's something in the bushes!" Kenisha calls out to the others, gripping her wand firmly in case they were about to plunge against into combat.
Taric Monday February 17th, 2003 11:42:39 PM
Taric looks curiously at the just recovered chest, wondering why anyone would bury a chest here in the border of the forest.
"Maybe this could give a clue to the undead activity around here." thinks Taric aloud.
OOC: Taric will stand to Brahmah's right, although everybody seems to forget he is actually a spellcaster ;)
Kanchana Tuesday February 18th, 2003 12:41:37 AM
A female liontaur steps out from the bushes near Kenisha. As she stops a few paces from Kenisha with her hands out open in peace she says "Greetings Chosen, Our paths cross at last. A few nights ago Tomi came to me in my dreams and bid me to find and aid you. I am called Kanchana."
OOC: (appearance as to be posted in the repose) ;) Appearance: By physical appearance Kanchana is not particularly noteworthy; being mostly average for one of her people. But what she lacks for physically she makes up for in grooming. She keeps herself well groomed and her pale golden-brown fur glistens like burnished gold. Her skin is tanned and her long hair is pale gold-brown with russet highlights. Kanchana keeps her hair braided into several plaits of varying thicknesses. Also braided into her hair are a variety of feathers, bits of carved bone, shells, beads(of stone, glass and precious metals),small crystals and leather thongs. Her thick, lustrous hair reaches to her lower back when braided. By way of clothing she wears a buckskin bodice decorated with small stylized bone-carvings of nature spirits and at least one symbol of Domi, and there are also geometric designs in beadwork in dark natural colors on the hems of her bodice. Kanchana wears a ubiquitous belt with many pouches hanging from it, including; first and foremost, her totem bag and spell component pouch.
Brahmah Tuesday February 18th, 2003 1:01:01 AM
OOC: Brahmah realizes fully that Taric is a spellcaster, but it's always the quiet ones that surprise you. ;) But don't worry, there's now a newby to watch. ;)
Flat-top Tuesday February 18th, 2003 4:58:21 AM
Flat-top is taken by suprize and just stand there (with his mouth open). She reminds him of a dear friend named Zeoll a long time ago. Then he snaps to the present, "Welcome! You have found the Chosen Ones. The Sisters her are Kenisha and Ceira. Over here are the Brothers Brahmah, Kale, Taric, Leets and ofcourse me, I'm called Flat-top. Come people greet our new sister." Flat-top whispers to the males in the group,'Now we have three females and another spell caster.'
Leets Tuesday February 18th, 2003 10:00:36 AM
"That's ok captain!" replies Leets to Brahmah, unsheathing his sword and letting his other friends walk before him. The young centaur paladin is completely surprised by Kanchana arrival, and is glad she is in fact a friend...
"Uh...Oh...This is really a strange place to meet a new Chosen, but at least this walk those dark woods takes sense...If you were sent by Domi then be welcome among us. I am Leets Talric of the Talric tribe, holy servant and warrior of our Allmighty Father Domi."
Leets is a young centaur who must be about 20, with mid-long blond hair and fair skin. He's wearing a blue tunic with a full plate armor completed with pieces of full plate barding. He also holds a shield with Domi's holy symbol, and a longsword. The same holy symbol, woodcarved, is also around his neck.
Kenisha Tuesday February 18th, 2003 7:06:04 PM
Kenisha relaxes as the wemic comes forward and introduces herself. The very pregnant centauress holds out her hand and says, "Welcome, Kanchana. I am Kenisha, grandneice of Minisha."
Kenisha Tuesday February 18th, 2003 7:06:29 PM
Kenisha relaxes as the wemic comes forward and introduces herself. The very pregnant centauress holds out her hand and says, "Welcome, Kanchana. I am Kenisha, grandneice of Minisha."
Taric Tuesday February 18th, 2003 8:37:48 PM
Taric was so focused on the just recovered chest he just heard the last part of Kanchana's introduction.
Brahmah Tuesday February 18th, 2003 10:50:01 PM
Brahmah seems almost unaffected liontaur, until he realizes their in the middle of the wood, right where the centaur may have disappeared. "I'm Brahmah, Captain and leader of the Chosen of Domi. How did you come to be here? Have you seen any young centaurs about or have you dispatched any undead as of late?" The minoTaur warrior asks, not having much time for pleasantries. "If you are indeed Chosen, you will have a token of Domi's on your person. Please show us and be welcome to our mission." The minotaur smiles dumbly and waits for the lioness' reply.
OOC: Brahmah wears a heavily worn tunic, breeches, gauntlets and a very stout leather cloak. He has a feather once worn by a friend Zeoll (now deceased), braided into his long black fur. Over his tunic, Brahmah wears a chain shirt emblazoned with Domi's holy symbol of strength. A falchion hangs from each hip; these are his father's falchions that he has recently had enchanted; these are his most cherished possessions. He is physically dominating and intimidating, not to mention VERY ugly. He's brimming with muscles, covered with scars and has engraved horns. The engravings are those of sea life and female minotaurs. The warrior is missing his tail and most of his left ear.
Kanchana Tuesday February 18th, 2003 11:32:41 PM
Kanchana lifts her hand to touch Domi's symbol sewed on to her bodice near her heart. It is a small carved wooden shield inlayed with the hammer and anvil of Domi and carved stylized vines entwining the edges. Then she grins mischievously at Brahmah "I walked here. I was lead to this place by the guidance of Tomi."
Ceira Tuesday February 18th, 2003 11:38:34 PM
Kanchana's sudden appearance startled Ceira such that her heart almost skipped a beat. Although skeptical at first, she finally sees the symbol of Domi on Kanchana and breathes a sigh of relief.
The humble-looking female wemic approaches Kanchana with a warm smile. "Welcome Kanchana. What a lovely name! I am Ceira Karwyn and it is my pleasure to meet you."
Kale d20+7=20 Wednesday February 19th, 2003 7:07:26 AM
at the appearance of the wemic, Kale glares at her a little suspicousely, but relaxes when the others accept her. turning back to the chest, Kale pulls out his lock picking tools and tries to pick the lock(open locks of 20)
A New Member(dm sam) Wednesday February 19th, 2003 7:12:46 AM
(OOC, sorry for no post yesterday. i had a family emergency) as Kale works on the chest, there is a small click and the lid pops open. inside the chest lie six potions with lables on them. the lables say - levitation, cure moderate wounds, darkvision,cure light wounds, charasma, and protection from elements(fire). after everyone welcomes in the newest memeber of the Chosen, Ironarm says "This is good luck. Buried treasure and a new friend. What better way to start the hunt."
Flat-top Wednesday February 19th, 2003 8:51:06 AM
"Good work Kale" as Kale opens the little chest. Now Flat-top feels as though he as less than polite to Kanchan for she not Zeol, but a spell caster and a chosen of Domi. Flattop will aproches Kanchan again and stand before her. Flat-top look at her with his ice-blue eyes, He has a hide of a piebald (black hide with some white spot) his shin is dark and his hair/Main/tail are white. His height is about 8'6" tall and a strong fighter. "I'm soory if I was rude when we first encountered each othet, must be the fighter in me. But let me welcome you to our group. We just found some potion over there, I thing you should go and choose some."
Kanchana Wednesday February 19th, 2003 10:57:52 AM
Kanchana smiles widely and shakes hands with Kenisha. She glances over at her fellow wemic and says brightly "Thank you Ceira... may I call you that? I always thought that my name was rather plain. It is good to hear that not everyone seems to think so." Kanchana looks up into Flat-Top's face, and still smiling she says warmly "You were not rude. Also thank you for the very generous offer but I think I will wait until those who really need what is in the chest have taken what they need before I take anything. (spoken humbly) I have brought with me my tools of my trade and can for the most part find what else I may need here in the forest."
Kenisha Thursday February 20th, 2003 1:15:17 AM
"I'd like the Potion of Charisma." Kenisha states as the potions are revealed. "But I do not think we'd best tarry here too long. We still have some lost Taurs to locate."
Ceira Thursday February 20th, 2003 1:27:25 AM
"Thank you Kanchana! I think I will help myself to the potion of cure light wounds." says Ceira.
Brahmah Thursday February 20th, 2003 3:08:11 AM
"Kanchana, welcome to the ranks of the Chosen! So your One of the Wood, ah? Tell us, have you seen a young centaur in the area?" Asks the leader of the Chosen. "Can you ask your woodland friends what they've seen?"
"Everyone feel free to help themselves to the potions."
"Let's move Chosen there is a centaur out there that may need our help! Domi guide us well!" The warrior leader moves off in the direction Kale indicated the centaur may have gone.
"Kenisha, how are you and the wee-one doing?"
Brahmah keeps his hand on his Falchion hilt and keeps his eye on the newcomer.
OOC: New marching order, Kanchana is to take up position between Brahmah and Kale. So in order, Kale, Kanchana, Taric/Brahmah/Flat-top, Ceira and Kenisha, and finally Leets and Managarm in the rear.
Kale Thursday February 20th, 2003 9:46:46 AM
Kale grabs the potion of cure moderat wounds and puts it in his pocket. "If no one else wants anything im going to take the rest with me."
Flat-top Thursday February 20th, 2003 4:12:33 PM
"Hold it a minute, Kale my old friend, I'll take Cure Moderate Wounds. Heavens knows when I get hurt, I Realy get Hurt." Flat-top give it to Kanchan and ask "Would you hole on to this potion for me, Please give it to me when I need it. Thank-you." He tell himself 'Hmm! beautiful eyes.'
Moving on(dm sam) Thursday February 20th, 2003 4:22:19 PM
as the handing out of potions continues, those that begin to move out can see that the lost centaur's trail is easy to follow at the moment, though something doesnt seem right(everyone make a listen check)
Kanchana d20+4=12 Thursday February 20th, 2003 10:36:47 PM
Looking briefly at Brahmah she says "I heard several unusual noises in the forest, but I saw no one until I came across you. I did not hear anyone or anything that seemed in distress though." Kanchana looks chagrined that she can be of no immediate help with their search. Turning her gaze back to Flat-top she replies "I will be happy to keep any potions in store for you; any of you, and administer them when needed. If no one else is interested in the darkvision potion or the protection from elements potion I would like one of them if I may." Kanchana promptly and obediently takes her place in the marching order. She takes a moment to survey her surroundings listening for anymore of those unusual noises. (Listen 12)
Kenisha d20+2=11 Thursday February 20th, 2003 11:34:53 PM
Kenisha, feeling a bit off center and not knowing exactly why, is watching all around nervously. "Please tell me this is just another hormonal phase." she whispers to herself.
(Listen check= 11)
Flat-top d20+6=17 Friday February 21st, 2003 4:59:31 AM
Flat-top takes his position, marches as silenly as much as a Centaur can. He wonders as to why there is no bird sounds around? "I don't like all this silence." But Flat-top is ready for anything or any one. He will slip his Morning Star into his hand.
(Listening at 17)
Taric d20=2 Friday February 21st, 2003 5:16:02 AM
Taric is a bit conrused still by the appearance of their newest member and the chest they just found. Shaking his head he lets the others know he is not in need of any of the potions. He just walks next to their leader Brahmah, oblvious of his surroundings.
Brahmah d20-2=10 Friday February 21st, 2003 5:16:47 AM
OOC: Listen of 10, if what he's listening for is a centaur, it's 11.
"Thank you Kanchana."
Walking up to Kale, Brahmah whispers. "Just to let you know, I bought more potions... refilled the box that's in my pack." He winks and moves back to rank.
"Flat-top, we make alot of racket. Taurs arn't 'xactly quiet friend! Ha! Relax." Though his hand is clearly on a hilt.
Kale Friday February 21st, 2003 2:33:50 PM
muttering to himself, Kale hands over the healing potion, though he takes the others, except for the darkvision one, and places them in his pack. then he moves to the front of the group and begins to lead them.
Ceira d20+1=9 Friday February 21st, 2003 3:10:03 PM
(Listen=9) After putting away the cure light wounds potion, Ceira is lost in thought about how to effective it was to use invisibility and healing potions during their recent skirmish.
Taking off(dm sam) Saturday February 22nd, 2003 7:08:17 AM
as the party begins to move into the forest, those that made a listen check of 10 or better realize that the normal sounds of the forest are gone. no birds. no insects buzzing.
the path the lost centaurs took is easy to follow. there are sighns of broken branches and trampled grass there to lead the party on.
Kanchana d20+5=21 Saturday February 22nd, 2003 7:48:59 AM
Kanchana takes the darkvision potion and the cure moderate wounds potion from Kale and puts them away; one in her backpack and the other in her potions bandolier. Noticing with a start that there are no animal or bird sounds around Kanchana begins to look around carefully. (Spot 21) She wonders if she should state the obvious and mention the lack of sounds from the forest.
Flat-top d20+6=19 Sunday February 23rd, 2003 11:02:15 AM
"I know Captain, WE are no light weights. The area give me the goose bumps, no birds no small animals, these animals are ues to Centaurs, they would scury or fly to another tree and cherp at us. There something around but I cannot put my finger on it?" Flat-top will look back at the girls to see if maybe they have sence something. But continues slow and steady.
(listen at 19)
Taric Sunday February 23rd, 2003 8:48:42 PM
Taric just follows along, still munching on all the advice he has gotten today. Very useful and helpful advice and Taric was busy trying to put everyting into perspective using it.
Kenisha Sunday February 23rd, 2003 8:53:27 PM
Kenisha's tail continues to swish back and forth nervously as she looks about. "I agree Flat-top, this area is giving me the willies." But as to what is causing this, she can't not guess and does not bring up that fact.
Brahmah d20=19 d20-2=0 d20-1=18 Monday February 24th, 2003 1:07:49 AM
Brahmah stays as alert as possible.(spot of 19 and a listen of zero, wilderness lore of 18)
"Wait! This trail is too easy, even I can follow it." Thinking to himself that maybe he should of paid more attention in tracking school.
Leets d20+3=8 Monday February 24th, 2003 3:38:58 AM
Leet's dog Managarm looks at the Centaur paladin in a strange way and makes a strange noise...
"I don't know this part of the Island, and even less this forest...I feel something odd at work around...Taric, what do you think?"
Kale Monday February 24th, 2003 1:48:30 PM
"Well, maybe the battle spooked the animals." Kale says. "We're not that far from the village."
Moving on(dm sam) Monday February 24th, 2003 1:52:41 PM
the group pauses for a few minuets to look around carefully, but no one notices or hears anything out of the ordinaly, besides that there still isnt any of the normal forest sounds coming from the forest. after a bit, the party moves on, deeper into the forest. after about an hour of travel a bluebird flies into view and chirps at the Chosen. a few minuets after that more birds come into view and a squirl runs in front of the group. it seems that whatever caused the forest animals to be nervous before has passed.
Ceira Monday February 24th, 2003 3:20:24 PM
Ceira continues to follow the tracks. She pulls out a bit of her dried rations and starts munching on them.
Brahmah Monday February 24th, 2003 7:47:38 PM
Clueless as usual, Brahmah hardly notices the appearance of the few critters. So he moves along.
OOC: How thick is the canopy here and can we see sky through it?
Kenisha Tuesday February 25th, 2003 12:36:16 AM
Kenisha relaxes a little one the animals return. "You must be right, Kale. But why would the centaurs venture this far away from their village during an attack?"
Taric Tuesday February 25th, 2003 1:57:36 AM
The question from Leets makes Taric look up.
"I don't know Leets. I haven't been here before, but some unnatural things have passed in the last couple of hours to say the least. I'd not be surprised if we would meet some more unnatural things on the way."
Deciding to let the thoughts for a better time Taric looks around and hears the chatter of the birds return, making him even more nervous.
"I don't know about all of you, but the return actually works more on my nerves than their absence. This would mean something happened or passed and we're getting to it. But probably it has been some time ago, we really need to catch up with whatever we're following."
Kanchana d20+5=14 d20+7=17 Tuesday February 25th, 2003 5:21:42 AM
"How many sets of tracks are we following? Are they all left by Centaurs or are there any other tracks?" Kanchana is unsettled by the easy trail and the word 'herding' keeps coming to the forefront of her thoughts. She is a bit less nervous now that the animals have returned though. Kanchana looks around for older signs of rough, forched or panicked passage; i.e. too many broken branches and such. (Spot 14, Wilderness lore 17)
Leets Tuesday February 25th, 2003 5:41:30 AM
"I almost sure that whatever is haunting this forest, it's linked to those followers of Marteaus! They bring evil and shadows wherever they walk! It's such a pity they could reach our beloved islands!"
"However, the thing, whatever it was, seems to have gone away...We'd better try to follow the tracks, for Ironarm's son sake! How should we do, Captain Brahmah?"
Brahmah Tuesday February 25th, 2003 6:11:56 AM
"You know what I think Leets, this path is too easy... almost like we were meant to follow it. Can someone see if the arcane is afoot here or any other magical tampering, 'fore we go much further?!" He pauses. "Kenisha, Ceira, when I was on board my ship, once I was told of a spell or some such thing that creates false tracks or ways of misleading taurs... could that be what this is?"
The leader signals to Kale to stop, then Brahmah does the same, stopping and telling the others to look around magically or by other means.
"I'm not convinced we should be going this way."
Flat-top d20+6=17 Tuesday February 25th, 2003 7:01:55 AM
"Hmmm! I agree with you, Captain. I'm not shy when it comes to a fight, But I don't like chaseing shadows. Leet Sir! what how does your dog act??" Flat-top wonders.
Look 17
Ceira d20+8=9 d20+7=15 Tuesday February 25th, 2003 10:59:39 AM
Ceira squirms her way up to the front and kneels on the ground to get a closer look at the trail. (Spellcraft=9, Knowledge-Arcana=15)
Kale Tuesday February 25th, 2003 1:44:49 PM
"OK." Kale says to Brahmah as he stops. "The tracks look real to me, though. If you want, I can go scout around the area and see if there are any other signs out here"
Inspection(dm sam) Tuesday February 25th, 2003 1:50:23 PM
on Brahmah's suggestion, the group stops to inspect the trail. as far as Ceira can tell, there are only centaur tracks and that they are real. the others spread out a bit and look around(you can see the sky from the forest canopy. the sun has no problem going through)
Brahmah Tuesday February 25th, 2003 8:42:51 PM
"The one thing I don't understand is that the trail was more difficult to follow the closer we were to the village. Now, suddenly, it's as plain as day! Something doesn't add up."
"Leets, does Managarm smell the young centaur?"
"Kale, scout ahead a hundred yards or so, then return quickly."
"Taric, what do you think??"
"Kanchana, are you familiar with such trails? Can you make out if this is fake or some how misleading us?"
Taric Tuesday February 25th, 2003 9:37:42 PM
Taric looks to Brahmah and responds:
"I'm not sure Brahmah, this can be a trick. But maybe they were in a hurry, maybe even pursuing somebody, the thing responsible for the unnatural events. When they were making haste, the track becomes easier, right? I would suggest speeding up to try and catch up with them, if that is possible at all."
Kenisha d20+3=6 Tuesday February 25th, 2003 11:09:48 PM
Kenisha nods in agreement after what Taric suggests and adds, "But everyone should keep their senses sharp."
(spot check= 6)
Kale d20+10=26 Tuesday February 25th, 2003 11:58:44 PM
"OK, ill be back in a few minuets." Kale says as he dissapears into the woods(search check of 26)
Kanchana Wednesday February 26th, 2003 2:13:41 AM
"I am no tracker, but I cannot imagine anyone or anything leaving a trail quite like this. To me this seems like an effort to herd a quarry. Can anyone else see if the passage of these Centaurs was panicked or forced?" Kanchana's ears droop and she frowns looking unhappy at not being able to do more to help. "Is there anyone who might scry the presence of the young ones?" she asks with a more positive tone to her voice.
Leets d20+1=15 Wednesday February 26th, 2003 4:18:57 AM
"I don't know if Managarm found a track or not...He could be following a rabbit as well as Ironarm's son..."
"What did you find my dog...Did you find the one we are searching for?"
Flat-top Wednesday February 26th, 2003 9:14:11 AM
"I agree with Kenisha and Taric, we should try to meet up to them. Kanchana was not with us when we fough the minitaurs in the grave yard. They disapeard into the forest. But what they want with some young centaurs, I don't know. But what who ever they are, those young centaurs are in trouble." Flat-top is trying to put clues together.
Careful Examination(dm sam) Wednesday February 26th, 2003 10:52:17 AM
as Kale leaves the others take a careful look at the trail. it does look like the centaurs were in a hurry, with all the trampled grass and broken branches in the area, but there doesnt seem to be any sign of any other tracks on the trail. Kale's search doesnt turn up anything unusual. it seems that the centaurs remained on the path, and that nothing was chasing them.
Ceira Wednesday February 26th, 2003 10:57:10 AM
Ceira falls back into her position in marching order and says, "Even if we decide not to follow these tracks, then what else are we to do? I suggest just going with it until we see something much more unusual."
Kanchana d20+4=6 d20+5=9 Wednesday February 26th, 2003 6:41:11 PM
Kanchana keeps her position in the marching order waiting for Kale's return. Her thoughts meander... (thinking to herself)I have some small skill in scrying but no crystal ball... I need to make a shopping list before I buy things otherwise I tend to forget important things... like crystal balls. Kanchana still looks glum and occasionally looks around slowly, watching the natural world react to their presence. Waiting for something to indicate what might have passed this way before they did. (listen 6, spot 9)
Kenisha d20+3=18 d20+2=17 Wednesday February 26th, 2003 9:26:13 PM
"Sorry" Kenisha apologized to Kanchana. "Divination is not my forte."
"Let's keep going. We won't learn anything here unless we keep going forward."
(spot= 18, listen= 17)
Taric Thursday February 27th, 2003 1:26:53 AM
"I suggest making more haste as it seems the centaurs were in quite a hurry as well. And boy, can they run. But why were they running? My guess is they have seen something and are now following it. Only, what could leave no trail but still catch attention from a group of centaurs? I got a bad feeling about this."
finishes Taric, while hoping the Chosen will move as fast as possible.
Leets Thursday February 27th, 2003 3:37:24 AM
"Sorry, Managarm seems not to find the track...However, Kale seems to be the best at this!"
Leets looks around for a couple of seconds...
"I think Taric is right, maybe the young ones saw the leader of the group and tried to catch him...If they did, they will need help, and I don't want to miss a priest of Marteaus, particularly if it's an important one."
Brahmah Thursday February 27th, 2003 4:23:08 AM
"I won't argue with the entire Chosen Council..." He grins. "...let's continue, mainly to ease my curiousity." He starts off again on the same path in the same marching order. "I believe if we meet the young ones and they are still living, we should tell them of the finer points of strategy and tactics. Always, I mean always send in the novices as clean-up, NEVER as the front line warriors! Maybe if the Chosen speak on this subject, they will consider it in the future." He struggles with a thought. "Hmmm... but...."
Kale Thursday February 27th, 2003 6:49:30 AM
after searching around, Kale returns and says "I didnt find anything." then seeing that the others have decided to move on Kale takes up his lead position and leads them along the trail
Moving along the trail(dm sam) d20=19 Thursday February 27th, 2003 6:58:35 AM
after examining the trail, the party assembles again and moves along the trail. the going is fast and easy and if it wasnt for the seriousness of their mission they could almost enjoy the walk in the woods. this continues on for another two hours until again the group begins to get a sense of uneasyness(everyone make a listen check of 15. if you make it you realize that once again there is no noise coming from the forest. its now about an hour before sunset).
having been quiet for a while, Ironarm says "They should of never gone this far into the forest. I pray that we can find them." the strain caused by his missing son is clearly on his face
Flat-top d20+6=25 Thursday February 27th, 2003 7:24:49 AM
A chill goes up Flat-top spine, "Do you feel the stillness in the air,just like back there the same uneasyness. As if there's something Evil watching us?" Flat-top looking around and again he puts his hand on the handle of his Morning Star that's around his neck.
Kanchana d20+4=22 Thursday February 27th, 2003 10:05:38 AM
Looking out into the gloaming Kanchana shivers slightly at the returned feeling of uneasiness. (Speaking lowly) "Well it is right for the day creatures to silence themselves now, but it is a bit too quite. The air feels heavy." (listen 22)
Leets d20+3=21 Thursday February 27th, 2003 11:08:35 AM
"I really don't like this...Darkness are about to fall and the young ones are still alone in those woods...However we can't let them face the night alone, let's hurry..."
With a darker tone, Leets adds:
"...and if there is something to face, the sooner will be the best..."
Ceira d20+1=9 Thursday February 27th, 2003 11:27:56 AM
"I'm not sure what you all are talking about." says Ceira who seems to be distracted by a second helping of trail rations. "Aren't woods supposed to be peaceful and quiet?"
Kale d20+8=16 Thursday February 27th, 2003 8:43:22 PM
"Something definatly feels wrong." Kale says as he draws one of his swords.
Kenisha d20+2=17 Thursday February 27th, 2003 11:12:42 PM
"These woods are quite Ceira, but they are peaceful." Kenisha says softly.
(listen= 17)
Kenisha Thursday February 27th, 2003 11:22:16 PM
OOC: Ack! The above post should have read: "...but they are not peaceful."
That's what I get for not proofing myself.
Brahmah Friday February 28th, 2003 3:29:21 AM
Brahmah continues in silence, listening to the group and not paying close attention to his surroundings. Occassionally he'll stumble on a stump or root. He shakes his head frequently. His eyes are alert. The shadows dance as day meets night, and the shadows cause Brahmah some unease.
Taric d20=15 Friday February 28th, 2003 4:10:09 AM
Feeling before he actually hears the uneasy silence hanging in the woods, Taric nods to himself.
"I think we're catching up, or we have already caught up with whatever we were following. Better watch it from here on." says Taric softly to the others.
Disturbing Scene(dm sam) Friday February 28th, 2003 7:04:31 AM
the woods remain quiet as the party continues on. after about twenty minuets they see that the centaur's trail crosses that of a another trail(those that have tracking or wilderness lore skill make a check at DC15. everyone else make a spot check of 20. also, everyone make another spot check.) its about 40 minuets till dark
Ceira d20+4=5 Friday February 28th, 2003 10:53:38 AM
(OOC: Ceira must enjoy eating because I'm making all bad rolls this week. Spot=5)
"Another trail?" says Ceira. "I hope they aren't ours. The deeper we go, the more I feel lost so I hope we didn't walk in a circle or something." While her friends take a look at the trail, Ceira takes a few seconds to stretch her legs from all of the walking.
Kanchana d20+7=24 d20+5=21 Friday February 28th, 2003 11:27:28 AM
Happy that she can see fairly well in the fading light Kanchana plods on warily looking around until she comes to the cross-trails. She takes a careful look at the trails and the surrounding area, hoping to spot anything out of the ordinary. "Ceira if we have walked in a circle then I hope someone will give me a swift kick in the rear." (Thinking to herself)It would be too embarrassing to walk in a circle in the forest. I would never be able to live THAT down! (Wilderness lore 24, spot 21)
Flat-top is looking around, answering the girls comment, "No I don't think we went in circles, remember Kale is a very good tracker. He very seldom misses a thing or trail. Kale! what do think of the cross trail here??" Flat-top points at the ground and sniffing the air.
Taric d20=13 Saturday March 1st, 2003 2:10:38 AM
Being not much of a tracker Taric just looks around, wondering what the other trail might be. He seems to be quite nervous for some reason, seemingly eager to catch up with the centaurs and save them if possible.
Leets d20+2=13 d20+2=16 Sunday March 2nd, 2003 9:37:04 AM
Feeling terribly concerned about the group's safety, Leets looks around for shadows that would look more dangerous or special in some way. However, maybe he's too worried, but he notice nothing...
"I woul be terribly ashamed if it was our own trail we found back...Kale, what do you think? Whose trail could it be? Any hoofprints?"
Brahmah Sunday March 2nd, 2003 10:46:32 PM
With night approaching, Brahmah wants to get camp set soon. The Chosen travel another 20 minutes and begin to set camp.
Kenisha Monday March 3rd, 2003 10:45:23 AM
Kenisha remains silent, having nothing much to add to the debate and feeling a bit sore in the hoof.
Kale d20+11=20 Monday March 3rd, 2003 9:16:33 PM
"We're NOT going in circles" Kale says a matter of factly. "Its just our trail merges with another, thats all"
Reveling tracks(dm sam) Monday March 3rd, 2003 9:28:01 PM
Kachana, Flat-Top, and Kale quickly verify that the group is not traveling in circles. looking back down the other trail a bit, the discover minotaur tracks traveling down the path. they also see that the centaur's that they are tracking are also traveling down the path, though the centaur's tracks seem to be fresher. there are also another set of tracks that appear with the minotaurs.(Kachana, Flat-Top, and Kale, if you have the tracking skill you can make a check against DC21 to identify the mystery track and to see how many minotaurs there may be.) While the others study the tracks, Leets notices something on the side of the woods. it looks like the bowstring of a longbow. then Brahmah urges the group to hurry up and Ironarm agrees. "We need to move! I dont like the idea of my son being out here!"
Brahmah Monday March 3rd, 2003 10:22:09 PM
"We can move just a little further, just a bit longer, let's move Chosen! We'll set camp soon enough." He tramps off a little faster coxing the Chosen forward.
Kanchana Tuesday March 4th, 2003 12:49:00 AM
Kanchana waits a moment while Kale and Flat-Top read the tracks before she moves onwards. She crosses her arms over her chest casually and looks around at the forest canopy for a moment while waiting.
Kenisha Tuesday March 4th, 2003 1:25:15 AM
Kenisha groans softly to herself but keeps going with the rest.
Ceira Tuesday March 4th, 2003 2:56:05 AM
"Are you doing okay there Kenisha?" says Ceira with a look of concern. "I wish we had some wagon or something to give you some rest."
Ceira just continues following the lead trackers.
Leets Tuesday March 4th, 2003 3:23:49 AM
"Hey! Look what I found...It looks like...a bowstring, isn't it? Did your son have a bow when he left Ironarm? Why is this part of the weapon here, by the way...I hope he won't need it if it's his..."
Taric Tuesday March 4th, 2003 3:51:49 AM
Taric can feel the urge of all the Chosen to save the centaurs and tries his best to keep up with the fast gallop of the quadrupeds in the group.
Flat-top Tuesday March 4th, 2003 6:38:49 AM
"I'm a Fighter, not a tracker. I can follow some tracks, but cannot tell you how many or what kind of prints. All I know right now is we are close, very close to some one." Flat-top now has his Morning Star at the ready and making efforts the get his shield ready. "If we meet any one, Captain, how about Kanchina fall back and uses her bow and arrows? I'd feel better if some one covered our back?" Flat-top ask of Brahmah. Flat-top thinking back to the fight in the cemertary and the slippery Minotaurs.
Kale d20+8=10 Tuesday March 4th, 2003 10:44:00 PM
"There's too many tracks!" Kale says with fustration(check of 10) "I cant make out how many."
Going on(dm sam) Tuesday March 4th, 2003 10:47:59 PM
"My son carries a bow." Ironarm tells Leets. "Though I cant tell if that string is from his or not. Though if its lying here, it seems to me that they had some kind of trouble." after Kale searches around, everyone gets in their places and continues on(15 minuets until sundown)
Brahmah Wednesday March 5th, 2003 3:32:54 AM
Is there any blood on the string? I saw a ship captain use it to garrote someone once." The leader continues on.
Leets Wednesday March 5th, 2003 3:41:07 AM
Leets was hoping Ironarms' son wasn't carrying a bow, and now looks worried...
"I agree with you Ironarm, they must have had troubles here, but if then there should be remains of the battle here...Since there aren't, it musn't have been that serious...We should be able to find blood stains, or such things...The blood of their target of course..."
"Kale, do you think a battle happened around?"
Flat-top Wednesday March 5th, 2003 6:51:43 AM
Flat-top turn ashen, his face turns white and in a low voice he whispers "Oh! No! Not them again?". Flat-top slowly clop over to Brahmah "Captain can I have a word with you in privet? Before I came to be a Chosen, I was a Royal Marein on the high seas. My last mission was to run down some slave traiders. Captain, I hope I'm wrong, BUT it would explain a lot of things around here, don't you think? We don't know it's true, we don't want to upset Ironarm the Sier."
Taric Wednesday March 5th, 2003 8:54:49 AM
Taric notices Flat-Top obviously worried about something. Not wanting to disturb anything he keeps his distance while at the same time looking if he can lend support for anything.
Kanchana d20+4=8 d20+5=6 Wednesday March 5th, 2003 3:35:23 PM
Kanchana loosens the peace knot on her scimitar and carefully checks her boltcase. She also readies her spellcomponent pouch and does a mental inventory over all of her memorized spells. She glances about again and listens to the sounds around her. (Listen 8, Spot 6)
Kale Wednesday March 5th, 2003 8:44:02 PM
"Well, there could of been a battle here, though if there were, it would of been short. An ambush perhaps." Kale says to Leets
Kenisha d20+3=16 Thursday March 6th, 2003 12:03:20 AM
Upon seeing Kanchana loosening her pouch, Kenisha does the same as she keeps a eye out for trouble.
(Spot Check= 16)
Sounds in the woods
Sounds from the woods(dm sam) Thursday March 6th, 2003 10:42:14 AM
as Brahmah examines the bowstring he does indeed find blood on it. then, just as the party begins to move, a sharp howl pierces the quiet forets. then its joined by another and another. soon the air is filled with the sounds of what sounds like howling wolves. "There arn't any wolves in these parts." Ironarm says as he pulls out his warhammer and grips his shield tightly. "They are mostly on the northern part of the island."(everyone make a listen check of 18 to see what direction the howls are coming from and make a wisdome check of 15 for some other info)
Kanchana d20+4=21 d20+4=24 Thursday March 6th, 2003 2:59:23 PM
Startled Kanchana turns to the direction of the first howl. She widens her eyes and tries to figure out how many wolves there are and from which directions their howls are coming from. (listen 21, wisdom 24)
Flat-top d20+6=26 d20+1=21 Thursday March 6th, 2003 4:29:20 PM
(OOC:Listen 26 - Wisdon 21 made both)
Still talking to Brahmah when the sound of the howling started, "Well! Captain, there goes my idea of Slavers." Flat-top now has his shield on his arm and the Morning Star in hand, now faces the sound and ready for anything. "Come on Were waiting or do we have to go get you?"
Brahmah d20-2=7 d20-2=15 Thursday March 6th, 2003 8:43:03 PM
Brahmah draws both Falchions. "There's blood on the string." "Those howls sound almost Gnollish!" He snarls.
(Listen 7 and Wisdom 15)
Kale d20+3=15 d20-1=14 Thursday March 6th, 2003 11:27:45 PM
(missed both checks)"Do we stay here, or do we move?" Kale asks as he pulls out his bow
Brahmah Thursday March 6th, 2003 11:44:55 PM
"We move."
Taric d20=2 d20=7 Friday March 7th, 2003 12:06:15 AM
Totally confused by the howling around him he follows the lead of the others, drawing his crossbow and putting a bolt ready in case something appears too close for their health.
Kenisha d20+2=7 d20+2=20 Friday March 7th, 2003 12:39:51 AM
(Listen= 7, Wisdom= 20)
Not knowing which direction the howls are coming from, Kenisha casts Mage Armor on herself (using a 2nd level spell slot to do so: PHB pg 50).
Running?(dm sam) Friday March 7th, 2003 9:28:11 AM
those that make their listen check realize that the howling is coming from all around them. those that make their wisdome check realize that whatever is doing the howling seems to be waiting for something before they attack. then the group moves on, though the howling doesnt stop and it still seems to be all around the Chosen
Brahmah Friday March 7th, 2003 8:20:31 PM
Brahmah activates his Wings if there is enough room. Says acivation word quietly.
"Chosen, any ideas?!"
(sorry, but there isnt enough room for your wings, dm sam)
Taric Saturday March 8th, 2003 1:25:42 AM
Desperately seeking a way out Taric starts casting a spell, trying to mimick the howling sound he hears around him. Maybe it will confuse them, so he thinks. A little time might be all we need.
OOC: casting 'ghost sound' and copying the howling sound, casting it 45 ft behind him.
Flat-top Saturday March 8th, 2003 8:00:47 AM
Flat-top is looking for something, anything that should move, Turns this way and that way. Answering Brahmah, "I'm all out of ideas, Captain, All I need now is some thing to move and I'll be on it."
Kanchana Sunday March 9th, 2003 12:56:09 PM
"It sounds as if we are being harried. If I am correct about that then we would do best to make a stand where we are now rather than keep moving." Kanchana casts Mage Armor (lvl1 mage spell) on herself in case combat ensues. She will then draw her scimitar after casting the spell.
Kenisha (AC=22: Mage Armor) Monday March 10th, 2003 12:17:34 AM
"We need a good defendable site, Brahmah, although I sounds as if they are waiting for something. What that is, I don't know." Kenisha says grimly.
Leets Monday March 10th, 2003 9:26:15 AM
Trying to calm down his growling dog, Leets however unsheathes his sword and tightens his grip on his shield.
"Whatever those things are, we are ready to face them, isn't it Managarm?"
The golden dog barks as if answering.
"I think they are simply waiting for us to panic...They will probably be very desapointed..."
"And by the way, I've never seen wolves using bowstrings as weapons..."
Kale Monday March 10th, 2003 9:53:44 AM
"If they are wolves, they only attack if they outnumber their prey. Lets stop and form a defensive circle. If we get seperated, were probably dead" Kale says as he continues to look for something to shoot.
What out There(dm sam) Monday March 10th, 2003 3:47:24 PM
as the others decide what they should do, Taric tries to distract their stalkers by imitating their howls. Unfortunatly, it seems that whatever is surrounding the Chosen only become more excited and howl louder and louder.
Ironarm says "We need to stop. If they are wolves they'll run us down in no time. Light some torches. I think wolves are afraid of fire."
(I should have a map to send out to you all later on today)
Brahmah Monday March 10th, 2003 8:20:09 PM
"Defensive circle! Torches if you want too. Spellcasters in the middle of the circle! Flat-top, Kale, Leets, Taric(I know your not a fighter :)) and me form the circle, Kenisha Ceira and Kanchana in the middle."
OOC: Remember, torches hinder darkvision but not lowlight vision.
Kenisha (AC=22: Mage Armor) d4+1=3 Monday March 10th, 2003 10:06:07 PM
Kenisha takes her place in the center of the ring, she then starts to chant and move her hands in intricate circles.
"Mah-Val Sha-zohm"
She then reaches out and touches Taric on the shoulder and the magic flows into him, making him stronger.
(Taric now has +3 to his Strength Attribute for 6 hours)
She then smiles and asks, "Anyone else like a boost?"
Ceira Monday March 10th, 2003 11:41:20 PM
Ceira moves to her place towards the center. She squints in the hopes of seeing better but to no avail.
Taric (+3 str) Tuesday March 11th, 2003 12:47:50 AM
Taric looks smiling at Kenisha.
"Thank you, we could use anything we can get."
Taric then takes his position in the circle, puts the bolt with a click into the crossbow and readies his mind for one of his few spells left for the day.
Kanchana (AC20; Mage Armor) Tuesday March 11th, 2003 1:08:06 AM
With an unreadable facial expression Kanchana moves to the center of the circle. Having not foreseen such a plan she puts her scimitar back in its scabbard as she walks. Immediately upon stowing away her scimitar she takes her light crossbow from her back and readies it.
Brahmah Tuesday March 11th, 2003 2:36:32 AM
"Good, good."
"Anyone able to make my blades (both) sharper... keener??"
Flat-top d20+4=8 Tuesday March 11th, 2003 2:47:14 AM
Flat-top steps about five feet to one side of Brahmah (starting the circle) Flat-top judges that will two or three feet from the shoulder of one fighter and the same distance from the other fighter shoulder (that way the fighters will not interfer whit each other swing of their weapon and the magic users/bard will have enought room to use theit magic and the bard came use her arrows any where out of that circle) "I'm in place Captain, I hear them but I still cannot see anything."
Leets Tuesday March 11th, 2003 3:32:13 AM
Leets moves to takes his place in the circle of warriors.
"Managarm my dog, stay close to the spellcasters! Under those trees I'm afraid danger could come from over our heads!"
"Whatever are those things, I would prefer a frontal battle than this howling contest!"
"May Domi bring strength to this circle, and make it unbreakable! No creature of darkness shall threaten us this way!"
Brahmah Wednesday March 12th, 2003 12:44:32 AM
OOC: I think we should be able to handle combat without a map. :) Anyone disagree?
Flat-top Wednesday March 12th, 2003 4:11:04 AM
Yes, Maps are nice but we are in a fighting circle, peace of cake. Bring it On.
Leets Wednesday March 12th, 2003 4:12:28 AM
OOC: I think it should be ok too...
Kenisha Wednesday March 12th, 2003 6:41:07 AM
OOC- I'm game.
You Forgot Me!(dm sam) Wednesday March 12th, 2003 12:09:34 PM
standing outside the defensive ring, Ironarm says "Where do you want me? I dont want to caught without any support!" after Ironarm speaks the Howling abruptly ends(everyone make a listen check of 18)
Kale d20+3=5 Wednesday March 12th, 2003 12:13:07 PM
putting up his bow, Kale draws his two swords and says "They stopped howling. That cant be good"(isten check of 5)
Flat-top d20+6=18 Wednesday March 12th, 2003 1:00:54 PM
OOC: Bearly made it with a squeeky 18.
Flat-top's head purks up and he speaks to Brahmah, "OH! Captain better place Ironarm some place around the fight circle, because like Kale said WE are about to get some visitors."
Flat-top hoist his shield in place and readies his Morning Star, he almost forgot to check his hoovesknoskleS.
Brahmah (wings active) d20-2=2 Wednesday March 12th, 2003 3:41:49 PM
"Oh by Domi's fist, I forgot you Ironarm. I'm sorry. Here, next to Taric in the circle! Chosen be ready, I think....(listen of 2) I might hear something." He looks in the opposite direction of any sound.
Kanchana (AC20; Mage Armor) d20+4=18 Wednesday March 12th, 2003 4:43:08 PM
Kanchana aims her crossbow at the last place she heard howling, waiting calmly for something to make a wrong move. "Whatever or whoever they were waiting for has most likely arrived," she says dryly.
Kenisha takes out her wand of magic missiles (level 1) and gets ready to act as needed.
Ceira d20+1=14 Thursday March 13th, 2003 1:20:31 AM
Ceira is completely puzzled by the sudden silence of the wolves. She draws her crossbow and readies a bolt.
Leets & Managarm d20+3=21 Thursday March 13th, 2003 3:42:38 AM
"Err...Captain, I think you should get a look this way, we are going to have visitors" Says Leets, wispering a prier to Domi and preparing to face anything...
"I wish they stopped howling because they were impressed...Kanchana, you heard it too aren't you?"
Taric d20=19 Thursday March 13th, 2003 4:07:42 AM
Taric eyes move towards the sudden silence as he catches something, rather unusual for the normally absent-minded minotaur. Aiming his crossbow he is determined to support the others as best as he can. Feeling the presence of Ironarm near him comforts him in a strange kind of way.
Unnatural creatures(dm sam) Thursday March 13th, 2003 11:17:40 AM
(OOC, here's where i have everyone - Brahmah, Flat-Top, Taric, Ironarm, Kale, Leets, and Managarm in a circle(in that order) with the others behind them)
Those that made their listen check hear movemet all around them, just on the outside of the woods. a moment later the sun begins to set. a sharp whistle pierces through the air and then the howling begins anew. moments later snarling forms leap from the woods and into view. what the Chosen see makes them sick to their stomache. the creatures they see were once wolves, but its obvious that they have been dead for a long time. each one is in a various state of decay. they easily outnumber the Chosen two to one and move to encircle the Chosen. When they are within ten feet of the heros another whistle pierces the air and the dead wolves stop. out of the shadows, 60 feet in front of the circle(facing Kale) step out three minotaurs. each one is dressed in black armor decorated with white skulls. they are all armed with scythes and large shields, with the middle one wearing a black cloak. "Lord Proundhorn was right." the middle one tells his companions. "Save him and her for sacrifice," he says pointing to Leets and Kenisha,"and kill the others" "Yes, Wolfmaster." the minotaur to his left says. then the minotaur in the cloak whistles and the wolves begin to growl.
Flat-top Thursday March 13th, 2003 12:48:50 PM
Flat-top just stands there not moving, BUT he does listen to every word said, "Wolfmaster, I don't remember ever hearing of a Wolfmaster. have you Captain or you Kanchana? Beside by the look of these wolves, they been dead for a little some time."
Flat-top will keep his eyes on the wolves and not swing untill one or more comes into his reach to attacks him or Taric.
Kanchana (AC 20; Mage Armor) d20+5=23 d8=3 Thursday March 13th, 2003 1:55:47 PM
"Defilers of Nature" Kanchana snarls in Tauric at the black-clad Minotaurs, before taking aim at what she thinks is the weakest looking Minotaur foe and firing her crossbow at him.
(Hit AC 23)
you forgot to roll your damage(3 pts)
Ceira d20+3=21 d8=6 Thursday March 13th, 2003 3:33:52 PM
"The one doing the whistling..." whispers Ceira, "take him out!" She will shoot a crossbow at the minotaur with the cloak. (Hit AC 21 for 6 damage)
Brahmah (wings active) Thursday March 13th, 2003 10:12:23 PM
Whispering, the Captain says, "Let them close in on us Chosen. They have to get closer to get ahold of their quarry. Kenisha and Leets, watch yourselves."
When he hears the one that states, '...kill the others.', Brahmah then smirks and looks at the minotaur. "He's mine!" Just under his breath.
Kenisha (AC 22: Mage Armor) 3d4(3+2+3)+3=11 Thursday March 13th, 2003 11:22:15 PM
See exactly what they are up against, Kenisha casts Magic Missile at the whistling Minotaur (using a 2nd level slot to do so) for 11 HP of damage.
And if she can, she will switch to her 5th level Wand of Magic Missiles.
Taric (AC 16) d20+5=24 d20+5=23 d6=3 d6=5 d6=1 d6=4 Friday March 14th, 2003 1:43:23 AM
Hearing the words of advise from the other Chosen, Taric aims for the one they call 'wolfmaster'. If no wolf is near him yet he will quickly reload his crossbow.
OOC: hits for a critical if AC 23 is a hit. If not a critical, it's 8 damage. If it's a crit it's 13 damage.
Kale d20+5=12 d4+4=7 Friday March 14th, 2003 7:02:48 AM
Kale flips a dagger into his hand and throws it at the nearest wolf(hits ac 12 for 7). "Dont break the circle!" Kale says "It may be the only thing that saves us!"
Round 1(dm sam) 2d8(8+5)+5=18 d20+3=12 d20+3=16 d20+3=10 d20+4=5 d20+4=10 d20+4=5 d20+4=9 d20+4=10 d20+4=8 d20+4=7 d20+4=6 d20+4=5 d20+4=12 d20+4=15 d20+4=18 d20+4=16 d20+4=8 d20+4=8 d20+4=9 d20+4=5 Friday March 14th, 2003 10:53:34 PM
with all the crossbow bolts and magic missles that were shot striking him, the minotaur known as Wolfmaster falls to the ground clutching his chest. "PROTECT ME, QUICKLY!" he yells out. the other two minotaurs react quickly and step in front of the fallen minotaur(blocks line of sight on Wolfmaster. anyone who wants to can make a spot check of 20 to see Wolfmaster pull out a potion before his companions block the line of sight)
Kale's dagger flies straight into the shoulder of the nearest wolf, bt it doesnt seem to slow the creature down.
a moment after Kale's dagger flies, ALL the wolves charge the party en mass. Brahmah is able to avoid all of the wolve's attacks(ac 13, 17, and 11) as does Flat-Top(ac 5, 10, 5). Taric(ac 9, 10, and 8) and Ironarm(ac 7, 6, and 5) also escape from harm. Kale(ac 18, 15, and 12), Leets(ac 16, 8, and 8), and Managarm(ac 9 and 5), though attacked savagly, also manage to come away from harm. the minotaurs stay where they are at the moment.

Brahmah smiles. The leader ot the Chosen chuckles, "Are these your protectors or you lap dogs, Puppymaster!?"
He swings out at the nearest puppies. Hitting AC 12(14 damage)and AC 27 (crit confirmed with AC 28), for 29 damage.
The minotaur warrior then raise his blade and points it at the Wolfmaster, then smiles.
Flat-top d20+11=29 d20+11=30 d20+11=28 d8+8=15 d8+8=15 d8+8=15 d8+8=12 Saturday March 15th, 2003 9:13:24 AM
As the The wolves attact, Flat-top yells a war cry "GET TO KNOW ME Domi!". Then Flat-top lowers his shield to protect the lower part of his body and attacks with all his might. Flat-top will focus and swing twice at the nearest wolves (hoping to get more than one). To hit Ac 29(damage 15) and Ac 30(critical/ Ac 28) damages 15+12=27.
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) Sunday March 16th, 2003 4:34:19 AM
Kanchana reloads her light crossbow as quickly as possible, and then will prepare to cast Disrupt Undead (lvl 0 mage spell) on the undead wolves between the circle of Chosen and the enemy Minotaurs.
Kale d20+6=19 d20+6=13 d10+5=7 d10+5=12 Sunday March 16th, 2003 8:22:06 PM
slashing at two of the three wolves in front of him(hits ac 19 and 13 for 7 and 12), Kale looks around to see if anyone is in trouble. seeing that they are not, he concentrates on the wolves in front of him
Kenisha (Mage Armor= AC 22) 6d6(6+3+6+2+5+6)=28 Sunday March 16th, 2003 9:12:40 PM
Kenisha smiles and says, "Hiding behind your men will do you no good." Her eyes flash as she casts Lightning Bolt (10' wide by 80' long). She will angle the bolt such that it will catch as many of the undead wolves as she can and the three minotaurs without hitting her friends (but no matter what she wants the bolt to hit the three minotaurs). The Lightning Bolt does 28 hp of damage (Reflex save vs DC 17 for half)
hello. im a bit confused. i have you using four lightning bolts from the last battle(remember, you havnt rested yet from the last battle, so you shouldnt of rememorized spells). the character sheet i have says you can only cast 4 3rd level spells. if yours says differently you need to send it to me otherwise i cant allow you to cast your lightinging bolt.
Taric (AC 16) d20+5=20 d8+4=12 Monday March 17th, 2003 2:04:46 AM
Seeing the wolves close to him Taric decides to use his horns instead of his crossbow. Bending low he brings them in the direction of the wolf in front of him.
OOC: hits AC 20 for 12 damage
Leets & Managarm d20+3=19 2d6(5+5)+6=16 d20+4=19 d6+4=6 Monday March 17th, 2003 8:59:40 AM
"Taur sacrifice! Peuh!" Spits Leets looking at the middle Minotaur "Here I see well Marteaus' pityful and disgusting rituals!"
"THE ONLY WAY I SHALL SACRIFICE IS BY FALLING ON THE BATTLEFIELD COWARDS! AND HERE IS WHAT DOMI'S MIGHT WILL DO OF YOUR MINIONS!!!"
Saying such things, Leets stands up on his back legs, and lift his shield with Domi's holy symbol, which begins to glow...
OOC: Turn undead, turn 19, 16HD of undeads turned.
Standing face to face with his undead counterparts, Managarms jumps at the throat of one of them (ac 9), and the blood comes out of the wound (19 to hit, 6 damage)
Ceira 2d6(6+2)=8 Monday March 17th, 2003 10:38:02 AM
Ceira drops her crossbow and reaches in her spell pouch for a bit of tallow, a pinch of brimstone, and a dusting of powdered iron and mixes it all in her palm.
She throws the mixture over her friends heads and in the direction of the wolfmaster and casts Flaming Sphere. Ceira will command the sphere to plow straight towards the two minotaurs standing in front of the wolfmaster.
(OOC: If it hits anyone, deal 8 damage).

Kenisha d20+3=20 Tuesday March 18th, 2003 11:23:08 PM
Ack! Sorry Sam! I must have forgotten to mark off the last lightning bolt on my list. A thousand apologies! Here's what Kenisha will do instead:
Kenisha smiles and says, "Hiding behind your men will do you no good. Nor will I go quietly to whatever fate you have in store for me." She pulls the magic in her wand out and hurls it towards the one called Wolfmaster if she can see him, if not him then one of the ones shielding him.
(Spot=20)

Kenisha is using her wand of magic missiles (5th level) and it will do 8 HP of damage.

Brahman, Flat-Top, Kale, and Taric all land their blows, but none of the dead wolves seem to be damaged very much. Leets' attack, however, is much more effective. after raising his shield, five of the wolves begin to flee from the battle(Leets, Managarm, and Kale may make an attack of oppurtunity. Kenisha, waiting for her target to appear, sees Ceira's flaming sphere slam into the crouching minotaurs, senting them flying to the sides. seeing her target, she's able to zap the Wolfmaster with her wand. Ironarm smashes the nearest wolf(hits ac 13 for 7 pts)
burning with anger, Wolfmaster pulls himself to his feet and lets out a sharp whistle. a moment later the wolves that Leets had scared off turn around and look back at the battle. then the robed minotaur points his hand at Leets and yells "BURN!!!" a beam of energy shoots out of his hand, burning Leets for 6 pts of damage(no save). then he yells at his two guards "KILL HIM!!" the guards react charging the paladin, both of their scythes slicing into the brave warrior(hit ac 29 and 28 for 10 and 6 damage). all the other wolves continue their attack, with Brahmah(ac 22 for 7 pts)Flat-Top(ac 19 for 7 pts) and Kale(ac 23 for 6pts) all taking hits.
(OOC, here's what everyone is being attacked by 3 wolves on Brahman, Flat-Top, Taric, and Ironarm. Kale and Managarm each have 2. Leets has the two warrior minotaurs on him. there are wolves ready to charge back in plus the Wolfmaster)
Taric (AC 16) d20+5=20 d8+4=9 Thursday March 20th, 2003 3:28:38 AM
Taric sees a lot going on before his eyes, but decides to focus on the difficult task ahead. Bringing his horns to the same wolf he tries to finish it off fast.
OOC: hit AC 20 for 9 damage
Leets & Managarm d20+8=19 d8+2=6 d20+8=19 d8+2=7 d20+7=26 d20+7=12 d4+2=5 d20+4=10 d6+4=5 d20+4=14 d6+4=5 Thursday March 20th, 2003 4:18:39 AM
(attack of opportunity on the undead wlf fleeing: 19 to hit, 6 damage - Manargarm also attacks his wolf with 10, damage 5)
"Is that all you can do! You'll have to do better because I'm quite disapointed! YOU CAN SEND AS MUCH LITTLE DOGS OF YOUR OWN - HORNED OR NOT - YOU'LL DIE WHEN SUN WILL RISE"
Leets then attacks with his longsword one of the minotaurs who approached him (19 to hit, 7 damage) and becomes a flurry of blows using his front hooves as weapons too (attacks 26 and 12, damage 5 for the first one).
"Brahmah! Cut their head - the Wolfmaster!!!" Finally shouts Leets "I'll keep those two ones!"
As if it was gving more weight to Leets' words, Managarm the golden dog jumps on the back of one of the minotaurs (attack 14, damage 5)
Brahmah (wings active), Dodge d20+12=23 2d8(8+8)+12=28 Thursday March 20th, 2003 6:25:56 AM
Brahmah turns to his paladin friend and smiles. With a shout that can be heard by Domi himself, Brahmah rises into the air with wings beating and charges(flying 90') into the Wolfmaster. "GET TO KNOW ME, DOMI!!" Lowering his horns for the charge, like a diving sparrow-hawk, the leader plows into beast master. (Hitting AC 23 for 28 damage) Brahmah's Dodge is vs the Wolfmaster, AC 22, 21 vs the wolves
All three wolves get attacks of opportunity on Brahmah.
Brahmah (wings active), Dodge Thursday March 20th, 2003 6:29:47 AM
oops...
Charging, Brahmah's AC vs the Wolfmaster is 20, versus the wolves it's 19.
Kenisha 3d4(4+1+4)+3=12 Thursday March 20th, 2003 6:39:23 AM
Seeing that Brahmah is going after the Wolfmaster, Kenisha points her wand at one of the two minotaurs attacking Leets and lets all three missiles fly at him for 12 HP of damage.
Flat-top d20+11=24 d20+6=26 d8+8=16 d8+8=12 d8+8=12 Thursday March 20th, 2003 7:13:55 AM
Flat-top wonders if he can take the heads off those wolves? 'Well as long that I keep these zombies off the ones that can do more damage.' Flat-top tells Brahmah, "I cannot change weapons now in middle of battle, But I'll try to keep as many wolves off the ones who can!" Flat-top Yells just before he charges again, "AaahhhWOOOO! Come On You Mindless Zombies!" Then charging into the Wolves.
OOC:to hit 24 & 26 critical hit - Damages 16 & 12+12=24.

(aoo of 22 for 3 pts) continuing his attack, Kale uses both of his attacks on one of the wolves he wounded earlier, but he only hits once(ac24 for 13 pts)
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) d20=18 d6=6 Thursday March 20th, 2003 1:15:48 PM
Kanchana casts her Disrupt Undead spell(lvl 0 Mage spell)at the largest grouping of undead wolves hoping to hurt as many as possible.
(OOC Hit AC 18 for 6 pts dmg)

as Brahmah flies towards the Wolfmaster he gets bitten on his left leg(aoo hit ac 19 for 6 pts)the flying minotaur slams into the Wolfmaster, causing massive damage. Flat-Top, Taric, Ironarm, and Kale all land their blows, though Flat-Top is the only one able to drop one of his attackers. Leets and Kenisha both damage the minotaurs attacking Leets, but they both look like they are still in the fight. Managarm, however, doesnt have as much luck, and his teeth cannot penetrate the minotaurs armor.
Ironarm continues his assault on the wolves(hits ac 18 for 6pts)
staring at his wounds, Wolfmaster gives Brahmah a small smile, then he yells out "FREEZE!!"(casts command on Brahmah. make a will save vs DC18 or your frozen in place for this round). then Wolfmaster chants a quick spell and some of his wounds disappear(heals back 22).
smirking at Leet's words, the two minotaurs continue their attack on him, but Leets is just barely able to avoid their attacks.
the wolves that fled last turn charge back in, one of them charging Kale, one charging Leets, and 3 of them charging Managarm(hit ac 23 for 3 -5 = no damage).
Brahmah charging Wolfmaster has left a hole in the circle, and the wolves waste no time charging in, with two attacking Kenisha and two attacking Kanchana(Kenisha is hit once - ac 21 for 2 pts). the other wolves continue their attack, though only Ironarm suffers any wounds(ac23 for 4 pts)
heres where we are. Kanchana, Kenisha, and Flat-Top have 2 wolves each. Taric, Ironarm, Managarm, and Kale have wolves each. Leets has one wolf and 2 minotaurs on him, and Brahmah has the Wolfmaster on him

(Kenisha's AC is still 22 (from the Mage Armor) so she would take no damage.)
Suddenly finding herself with two of the undead woves on her, Kenisha points the wand at one of the wolves and hits it with all three missiles for 11 HP of damage.
She maneuvers herself to protect her unborn child as much as possible (Fighting Defensively).
you can fight defensivly or use your wand, you cant do both. also, you can only declare a dodge against one wolf.

Staring briefly at the Wolf Master, the warrior shakes off the effect.

"Stupid folllowers of Marteaus! Your leader is already falling, and you'll be the next!"
Leets then strikes here and there, focusing his attack on one of the Minotaur (Sword attack 12, damage 10, 1st hoof attack 28, not converted, 6 damage, 2nd hoof attack 21, damage 3).
Managarm still fights bravely oneof the wolves, attacking at 15 and dealing 9 damage.

Hi Sam!
I'm sorry, I think I won't be able to post as usual this week, I have to replace another supervisor at my school, and it will take much of my time, safe on Wednesday, where I should be able to post. Things should be ok next Monday! I hope you can replace me as Leets since we are in the middle of a battle, or make another Taur player play for me...
Thanks a lot!
Laurent.

everyone's attacks hits the wolves, and though a few look like they are ready to drop, only Flat-Top manages to drop one.
Leets' sword swipe misses the minotaur, but both of his hooves smash agains his chest. both the minotaurs look pretty hurt.
(Wolfmaster does have combat casting, so no Aoo. sorry i didnt post that earlier)Brahmah's vicous attacks drops the Wolfmaster to his knees. Clutching his side, he says "You havnt won yet." then he pulls out a potion and drinks it down. immediatly the massive wounds that Brahmah has caused dissappear. then he waves his hand at Brahmah and says "Be in darkness!"(Brahmah make a Fort save of 18 or you suffer the effects of the Blindness spell. also, make a spot check of 15. something isnt right about Wolfmaster).
Ironarm continues to attack the same wolf, hitting ac 11 for 8 pts.
"We're not done with you yet!" one of the minotaurs scream at Leets as the both pull out potions and drink them. immediatly their wounds dissapear.
the wolves continue their attacks, this time causing considerable damage to the Chosen. Flat-Top takes a hit(ac19 for 7 pts.) Taric is attacked viciously(two critical hits - ac 23, 23 and one confirmed, ac 19 for 7, 4, and 6 pts of damage). Kale(ac 21 for 5 pts) and Managarm(ac 21 for 4-5 = 0 pts) are also hit.

Brahmah shakes off yet another spell, then glances and watches the Wolfmaster. Thinking to himself, 'Somethings wrong here. Wait, he hasn't attacked me, has he?'
He swings again at the master and hits AC 18 and 10, for 11 and 16 damage.
Realizing he's not doing much to the master anymore, he switches tactics again.
Dodge is still against the Wolfmaster.
If no one has volunteered to play Leets by the Tuesday, I'll do it.

Once again most of the Chosen's blows connect on the wolves, though Kanchana misses once. the results are much better though, as Kale and Taric manage to drop a wolf each, and others are seriously wounded.
Ironarm continues to attack the same wolf, smashing it with his hammer(ac 26 for 4 pts)
Leets' attacks only manage to land one strike(a hoof) and he only does meger damage.
Brahmah, looking closely at the Wolfmaster, notices that he's moving much faster than he should be. its as if he has superhuman speed. this revelation causes Brahmah to pause a moment, and his attacks suffer as both of them miss. the Wolfmaster snarles at Brahmah and attacks the minotaur with his scythe hitting hims once(ac24 for 8 pts). his pleasure at his attack is short lived, though, as Ceira's flaming sphere burns his leg.
the other two minotaurs start up their attack on Leets anew, but the paladin is just able to dodge their attacks.
the wolves continue their onslaught, but only Kanchana takes a hit(ac 19 for 5pts)
OOC - ok, here's where we are. Managarm, and Ironarm have 3 wolves on them, Kachanga, Kenisha, Taric, and Kale have 2 wolves on them. Flat-Top has one wolf on him. Leets has one wolf and the two minotaurs on him, and Brahmah has the wolfmaster, who are 60ft away from the party

Kenisha (AC 22+2 dodge bonus=24 (Mage Armor & Fighting Defensively) d4+1=2 2d4(3+4)+2=9 Tuesday March 25th, 2003 7:29:06 PM
"You are not going to take me or anyone else!" Kenisha shouts at the two wolves attacking her. She knows they don't understand, but it makes her feel better for the moment.
Kenisha continues to fight defensively and again waves her wand, sending again one missile to the first wolf (2 HP of damage) and two to the second (9 HP of damage).
Taric (AC 16) d20+5=23 d8+4=11 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 1:20:38 AM
Taric hears the wolves growl behind him and decides to help Kenisha with her wolves. Oblivious to possible other dangers he turns around and rams his horns into the closest wolf threatening Kenisha.
OOC: hits AC 23 for 11 damage

"By Domi and all the Gods of light, you have been standing in our way far too long, followers of darkness! Here you shall fall, and now!"
With words of wrath, Leets focuses with anger all his attacks on one of the minotaurs (Longsword 18 to hit, 10 damage, 1st hoof 21 to hit, 4 damage, 2nd hoof 27 to hit, 5 damage).
Beside him, Managarm still faces three wolves, and ragingly bites one of them (attack 12, damage 10).
Kale d20+6=16 d20+6=10 d10+5=15 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 9:13:29 AM

move wolves fall to the ground as Flat-Top, Kale, and Kanchana each dropping a wolf. a lot of the other wolves look like they are ready to fall, though they fight on.
Ironarm continues to attack(hits ac 22 for 6 pts)"When will you fall!?!" he yells in fustration at the wolves.
Leets' sword bounces off the minotaur's armour, though both his hooves connect.
Brahmah's attacks rock the Wolfmaster, though he's still standing. concentrating, he says a quick chant and one of his wounds closes up(heals 18). then he swipes at Brahmah with his scythe, once again drawing the minotaurs blood(hits ac 24 for 5 pts).
"Your weakening!" one of the minotaurs yell at Leets as both of them continue their attacks, but once again Leets is able to avoid any damage.
as Taric moves to help out Kenisha, he's slow to move and gets bitten twice(aoo for each wolf, both hit Ac 17 and 17 for 6 and 6). then the same two wolves, seeing that Ceira is unguarded, charge in and attack the wemic, but neither of them connect. the other wolves press their attack, but only Managarm is hit(ac 21 and ac23 critical with 21 confirmed for 7-5 = 2 and 6+7-5 = 8. 10 total)
DM Sam Wednesday March 26th, 2003 9:43:07 AM
heres where we are. Kenisha, Ceira have wolves on them, Managarm and Ironarm have 3, Kale and Kanchana have one wolf, Leets has one wolf and 2 minotaurs, and Brahmah has the Wolfmaster. Flat-Top doesnt have anyone attacking him.
Brahmah (wings active), Dodge d20+6=26 d20+6=13 d20+6=9 2d4(4+2)+15=21 2d4(3+2)+15=20 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 9:58:49 AM
Brahmah begins to look a little more upset at his fellow kin that continues to assault him and his friends. He decides to change strategies quickly.
Raising one Falchion, he draws back attempting a mighty blow to Sunder/Power Attack(using the Feat) the scythe in two. Hitting the Wolfmasters weapon with a critical blow(nat 20 for AC 26~Power Attack -6/+6, for 21(+20=41 if the master fails the opposed attack roll of 9) points to the scythe.
NOTE: I'm not sure if crit damage is allowed on the weapon.
Flat-top d20+11=20 d20+6=21 d20+10=29 d20+5=13 d8+4=10 d8+4=12 d4+5=7 d4+5=9 d4+5=9 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 1:04:02 PM
OOC:Moning Star hit ac 20 & 21 - Damages 10& 12=22 - Hooves hit ac 29 ( critical)& 13 (??) - Damages 7+9=16 & 9 on ac13 (if he hit at all)
Flat-top want to get a peice of Mr. Big Mouth, BUT Ceira is in trouble the wolves are getting into the circle. So Flat-top just turn a little and swing left, then right at the wolves heads. Like all Centaurs fighter, rears and decends on the wolves head. "Now go the HADIES" Shout Flat-top at the wolves. Then takes the the fighter stance eyeing for the next attack.
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) d20+4=13 d20+3=13 d20+3=8 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 3:25:03 PM
Kanchana now focuses on the next wolf; elated that she actually managed to defeat one defiled beast unaided. With a feral grin she says "Now it is your turn", as she first strikes at the other wolf with her scimitar. Clearly her euphoria has gone to her head as each attack whizzes harmlessly past the lucky critter.
Taric (AC 16) d20+5=22 d8+4=12 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 9:25:33 PM
Taric feels the pain in his back but continues to attack the wolf attacking Kenisha.
OOC: hits AC 22 for 12 damage
Kenisha (AC 22+2 dodge bonus=24 (Mage Armor & Fighting Defensively) d4+1=3 2d4(1+2)+2=5 Wednesday March 26th, 2003 11:46:11 PM
Once again, Kenisha waves the wand and splits the three magic missiles at the two undead wolves attacking her. The one that Taric is attacking gets one (for 3 HP of damage) and the other one gets two (for 5 HP of damage).
"Watch your own flank, Taric!" she warns him.
Leets & Managarm d20+8=25 d20+8=25 d20+8=20 d8+2=5 d4+2=5 d4+2=5 d20+4=15 d6+4=5 Thursday March 27th, 2003 2:06:36 PM
"Weakening...Yes probably...I'm GETTING TIRED OF YOUR ENDLESS STUPIDITY! SHUT UP AND GO TO THE OTHER WORL WAITING FOR YOUR GOD!"
Leets furiously attacks the minotaur who attacked him (sword 25, 5 damage, hoof, 25, 5 damage, hoof 20, 5 damage...)
"...For Marteaus will soon follow you!"
Managarm on his own side still fights bravely (attack 15, damage 5).
Ceira d20+3=6 d20+3=11 d4+1=3 Thursday March 27th, 2003 4:09:53 PM
Being caught unaware because of her spell, Ceira only manages to make wild swings of her two hooves with little or no effect (hit AC6 and AC11 for 3dmg).
Brahmah Saturday March 29th, 2003 4:12:23 AM
The minotaur looks around and wonders why time has stopped. (?)
Kale d20+6=24 d20+6=11 d10+5=12 d10+5=15 Monday March 31st, 2003 7:05:17 AM

several wolves fall to the ground this round. The two on Kenisha die again, Flat-Top destroys one of the ones on Ceira, and Managarm manages to dispatch one of the ones attacking him
Brahmah's strike on the Wolfmaster's weapon leaves a big dent in the haft, but the weapon still looks functional(failed opposed strength, and i allowed the critical hit). looking at his dented weapon, Wolfmaster growls and strikes back at Brahmah, with one of his blows just hitting(ac 22 for 8 pts).
the two minotaur warriors once again attack Leets, with the first one hitting the paladin(ac 26 for 10 pts)
the depleted wolves continue their attacks, with Kale(ac 21 for 5 pts) and Managarm(ac 21 for 7-5 = 2pts) taking hits.
Ironarm continues to attack(hits ac 12 for 8 pts). one of the wolves attacking him drops dead.
heres where we are. Kachanga has one wolf, Ceira has one wolf, Ironarm has two wolves, Kale has one wolf, Leets has one wolf and 2 minotaurs, Managarm has two wolves, and Brahmah has the Wolfmaster
Leets & Managarm d20+8=12 d8+2=7 d20+8=16 d20+8=14 d4+2=3 d4+2=5 d20+4=10 d6+4=8 Monday March 31st, 2003 7:49:47 AM
"Still there? You're more bothering than the creeping insect I thought you where..." Says Leets trying to ignore the last wound inflicted by the minotaurs (attack with longsword 12, damage 7, hoof 1, attack 16, damage 3, hoof 2, attack 14, damage 5).
Managarm, having one less wolf on him, attacks another one, defending the group as well as his own life (attack 10, damage 8).
Brahmah (wings active), Dodge d20+8=25 d20+8=11 2d4(3+4)+9=16 2d4(2+3)+9=14 Monday March 31st, 2003 9:40:00 AM
A little frusterated that the weapon didn't break, Brahmah grits his teeth and swings at the Wolfmaster and then the weapon again. The first swing is true as Brahmah hits the Wolfmaster (AC 25 for 16 damage). (Hits AC 11 on weapon, for 14 damage)
Thinking to himself, 'I'm getting too old for this. Marteaus this, Marteaus that, their everywhere!'
"Don't you Martians ever just leave people alone?" Asks the Captain under his breath.
Flat-top d20+11=26 d20+6=23 d20+10=20 d20+5=16 d8+4=5 d8+4=9 d4+5=6 d4+5=9 Monday March 31st, 2003 2:15:14 PM
Flat-top sees that the iner circle are handerling their wolves, But Ironarm needs some help, but Brahmah needs help too. So Flat-top since he's closest to Brahmah, Flat-top will turn to face wolfmaster right side and take a couple of swings at Wolfmaster. Flat-top swings his Morning Star hitting ac 26&23 doing damages of 5&9hp. Then rears and hit him (AC 20&16) with his hooves for 6&9hp of damages. "Captain! if you don't need me here, I'll help Ironarm, O K?"
Ceira d20+3=17 d20+3=20 d4+1=5 d4+1=3 Monday March 31st, 2003 3:03:36 PM
With surging confidence that it is only one-on-one with the wolf, Ceira rears up and pounds the wolf with her hoof. (Hit AC17 for 5dmg and hit AC20 for 3 dmg).
Brahmah (wings active), Dodge Monday March 31st, 2003 3:34:15 PM
(Free action to speak) Hearing Flat-tops question, Brahmah keeps his eye on the Wolfmaster. "YES! Help Ironarm Flat-top." The Captain maintains his stance and waits for the next opportunity to strike. Thick blood trickles down his arms, his chest and out of the wolf bite on one leg as he stands there.
Kenisha (AC 22 :Mage Armor) 3d4(2+1+3)+3=9 Monday March 31st, 2003 10:07:35 PM
Kenisha smiles as the wolves fnally fall. She turns and aims the wand at one of the minotaurs on Leets and fires all three missiles at that one (for 9 HP of damage).
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) d20+4=11 d20+3=16 d20+3=10 d6=1 Monday March 31st, 2003 11:41:51 PM
Kanchana attempts to kill the undead wolf; hoping for better luck this time! With a determined look on her face she swings her scimitar at it with a downward chop, and then rakes at it with both of her paws. (hit AC 11 with scimitar, hit AC 16; for 1 dmg if it hits,and AC 10 with claws)
Taric (AC 16) d20+5=25 d20+5=25 2d8(6+8)+4=18 Tuesday April 1st, 2003 1:53:07 AM
Taric, seeing Kenisha is wolf-free, takes a quick look around and notices Leets still having two minotaurs pounce on him. Deciding Leets could use some help, Taric lowers his head and runs at one of the Minotaurs attacking Leets, trying to impale him on his horn.
OOC: hit for a crit. Not sure if I should double the damage for the charge, which is 18 damage (for a total of 36 damage), or if the critical charge should be a tripling in total (for a total of 27 damage)
Tarc (AC 14) Tuesday April 1st, 2003 1:53:54 AM

this round, only Kale is able to drop one of the wolves.
Ironarm strikes out at one of the wolves(hits ac 21 for 8 pts)
Brahmah's first attack nails the Wolfmaster, but the other one misses. Flat-Top also strikes him, but it doesnt do much damage(if you move you can only attack once). once again, the Wolfmaster chants and some of his wounds dissapear(heals 23). then he strikes out at Brahmah again(hits ac 22. does that hit with your dodge? if it does, you take 7 pts. let me know if it does)
the minotaur that Taric rammed turns to face him and slashes at him with his scythe(hits ac 20 for 10 pts). blood sprays everywhere as Taric's body hits the ground(remember, you cant say how low you are but you can say if your breathing or not. make your stabelization roll). the other minotaur grins and says to Leets "You'll be joining your friend soon." and strikes the paladin(hits ac 27 for 7 pts).
the few remaining wolves attack, with Ceira(ac 19 for 6 pts) and Managarm(ac 19 for 2-5=0 pts) taking hits.

Kanchana is alarmed as Taric falls to the ground. Seeing that he doesnt look to well she hurries over to him and casts Cure Light Wounds spell on him. She knows that she risks maybe getting hurt doing this but she'll be damned before she lets anyone die due to any hesitation from her. (Concentration check 19 (Combat casting), heals 9 hp to Taric)

none of the wolves fall, nor do any of the minotaurs, though many look like they are about to fall.
as Kanchanga rushes to help Taric, shes bitten on her flank by the wolf she leaves behind(hit ac 22 for 2 pts). her spell revives Taric and his eyes flutter open.
Flat-Top also gets attacked as he runs over to the other minotaurs, but as the Wolfmaster swings his weapon it snaps in half, sending his blade flying into the air. growling in fustration, he once again chants and some of the damage dissapears. he tries to whack Brahmah with the remains of his weapon, but all of the sudden he drops to one knee and begins to gasp(heals back 20).
Flat-Top runs over and smashes the minotaur that Leets has pinned, though he not able to finish him off. the trapped minotaur tries to push his way up, but is unable to budge the paladin. seeing Leets occupied, the other minotaur attacks Flat-Top, driving his scythe into the centaurs arm(hit ac 25 for 10 pts).

Brahmah smirks at the Wolfmaster when his weapon break untimely(Thank you Domi!) and then looks at Flat-top. "Flat-top, I told this evil taur he was going to meet his master! He didn't believe me." He looks down at the Wolfmaster. "Why are you on your knees? Praying for mercy... your not going to get it!" With a flash, Brahmah hacks into the Wolfmaster. (Hitting AC 20 and 25 for 15 and 15 damage.)
Kenisha (AC 22: Mage Armor) 3d4(3+3+1)+3=10 Thursday April 3rd, 2003 10:49:10 PM
More concerned with the minotaurs that are attacking her friends than the one undead wolf on her, Kenisha points her wand at the same minotaur and blast him with all three missiles (for 10 HP of damage).
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) d8+1=5 Friday April 4th, 2003 12:41:08 AM
Studying Taric to see how much his condition has improved kanchana asks "How do you feel now? Are you still hurt badly?" Closing her eyes tightly for a second due to the small bite she got from the wolf-abomination, she lets out an inaudible sigh and states "Kenisha Taric is barely awake." Just now realizing that she is still gripping the hilt of her scimitar tightly in her left hand she swaps it to her right hand and draws out her concealed wand. "Is there anyone who could be spared to guard our backs??" Kanchana asks loudly. She points her Wand of Cure Light Wounds at Taric and speaks the command word. (Wand magic heals 5 hp to Taric)
Taric (AC 20) Friday April 4th, 2003 1:58:05 AM
After a short darkness Taric feels the soothing touch of Kanchana. Able to upen up his eyes he says softly he is ok for now and will try to get up. After Kanchana heals him some more Taric manages to scramble and with a whispered "Thank you" he decides to defend himself for the moment while trying to regain his bearings of the battlefield.

Concerned for her friend Taric, Ceira is momentarily distracted which causes her to lose focus in her attacks (hit AC6 and AC10).
The End of the Battle(dm sam) Sunday April 6th, 2003 9:09:48 PM
although none of the wolves are hurt, Flat-Top kills one of the minotaurs, while Kenisha's magic missles finishes off the other one. the force of Brahmah's blows drives the Wolfmaster further down to the ground. looking around and seeing his bodyguard dead and most of his wolves defeated, Wolfmaster throws the shaft of his broken weapon to the ground and says "I surrender. You and your group are the better warriors." to show that he has given up, he whistles again and the wolves suddenly stop moving and just stand in place.
Taric Sunday April 6th, 2003 11:06:01 PM
Taric breathes a sigh of relief as he hears the wolfmaster surrender to Brahmah. He stands a bit more relaxed, but still keeps his eyes on the wolves, in case the wolfmaster gets any funny ideas. As he feels quite tired and the wounds reminding him of the just finished battle, Taric makes sure he doesn't waste any energy. He listens carefully to anything being said though.
Kenisha (AC 22: Mage Armor) Monday April 7th, 2003 1:52:31 AM
Kenisha keeps an eye on the remaining wolves and checks to make sure no one else needs immediate help. She spares a nod of encouragement to Brahmah, but otherwise lets her leader deal with the surrender.
Brahmah (wings active), Dodge AC 22 d20+12=24 2d4(2+2)+9=13 Monday April 7th, 2003 4:56:50 AM
Brahmah looks almost surprised at the surrender and just as surprised that his blow didn't kill the Wolfmaster. When the Wolfmaster threw down his weapons remains, Brahmah grips his Falchions, white knuckling his hands. *Move Equivalent Action* +free action The Chosens captain sheathes one sword then points his massive finger at the ground in front of the Wolfmaster, "Give me your spell pouch and disrobe yur armor and be prepared to die if you do anything against us! I won't kill if you do what I say. Domi is with you brother, don't fear his Chosen. Disrobe and fully disarm. Call off your beasts, send them back to your master."
When his demands are met, Brahmah asks Flat-top to get a rope and tie up the prisoner. All the while, Brahmah doesn't take his eyes off the Wolfmaster.
(Readying Standard Action: If the Wolfmaster in any way makes a makes an aggressive action toward a Chosen, Brahmah will kill him. **Striking AC 24, for 13**)
Flat-top Monday April 7th, 2003 6:58:29 AM
"Yes! Captain!" Flat-top a little too loudly, because he's still in the battle mood. But he does go into his saddle bags retrives the rope. When the enemy has disrobe and disarmed, he'll tie the prisoner with a few sails knots. Flat-top will ask if everybody else is alright, then will ask Kale to help serch the dead ones for anything of intrest. "I don't bend that low, my back hurts." Was Flat-top excuse.
Leets Monday April 7th, 2003 8:44:13 AM
Covered with quite serious wounds, Leets however help Flat-Top to tighten the rope around the Wolfmaster. Doing so he whispers to the Minotaur:
"You're lucky that the gathered Chosen bring enough wisdom to make you stay alive...I'm not sure it would be the same if those trees were the only witnesses here..."
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) Monday April 7th, 2003 3:58:07 PM
Glancing around Kanchana takes careful note of the wounds the Chosen have taken and mentally inventories her supplies in her healers kit. She offers a quick thought as to how she will be able to afford to restock her healing supplies and replace her healing wand. Under her breath Kanchana mutters "this surrender was to easy...". Speaking loudly and clearly enough to make sure everyone hears her she states: "Anyone who needs their wounds tended please come to me." Thinking to herself Kanchana berates herself for being petty where others well-being is concerned.
Ceira Tuesday April 8th, 2003 2:03:58 AM
"Tell your wolves to go stand in the woods instead of here." snarls Ceira in disbelief.
She picks up her crossbow, loads a bolt, and gets away from the wolf she was recently engaged with. Ceira walks over to the wolfmaster and gets to within 15 feet. She aims the crossbow at his leg until he is fully tied up.
"Gag his mouth so he can't whistle any more commands." suggests Ceira.
Kale Tuesday April 8th, 2003 12:54:38 PM
sheathing his swords, Kale does a quick search of the minotaur's bodies. as he does that he says "We need to rest somewhere. We're all beat up pretty badly, and our casters are almost out of spells."
Surrender!
Surrendering(dm sam) Tuesday April 8th, 2003 1:01:38 PM
before he's tied up, the Wolfmaster waves his hand and all the wolves drop dead to the ground. then he drops his shield to the ground and takes off his armor. before he's tied up, though, he says "Let me keep my robe on. Im not wearing anything else underneath it" the Chosen can see the truth of it, as at the moment he's standing completly nude in front of them.
Kale's search doesnt find anything of interest, though all their weapons, armour, and shields are very well made(mastercraft weapons), though they all have symbols of Marteaus on them
Ceira Tuesday April 8th, 2003 4:15:23 PM
Shocked by the sudden nudity, Ceira quickly turns away in embarrassment and disgust. "In the name of Domi, please keep your robe!!!"
After he redresses Ceira asks, "So what do you know of the whereabouts of Mr. Ironarm's son?"
Flat-top Tuesday April 8th, 2003 5:30:41 PM
"Your right, Kale, we do need a rest and a little bit of cure." Then Flat-top looks up to see that Ceira was blushing. Flat-top could not let this chance to tease Ceira, "Why are you turning pink, Ceira? Now! Now! mind your claws. But you do have a good question, What do you know about the group of young centaurs? One of them was the son of Ironarm?."
Flat-top is almost finish with knots, when he picks up the robe and throws it to Kanchana, "Here take a good look at the robe, see that theres no secret pockets or magic of any kind, Please?" Flat-top will wait for the all clear on the robe, before he puts the robe on the evil enermy. (When and if Flat-top get the robe back, he'll let him put his robe on, then tie him arm in such a way the they do not touch each other. (Arms across his chest with the knot in the back.))
Kenisha (AC 22: Mage Armor) Tuesday April 8th, 2003 10:20:17 PM
Digging though her pack, Kenisha pulls out one potion. "Dang! I thought I had at least two.... Oh well. I have a Potion of Cure Moderate here, Anyone else need it besides Taric?"
Taric d8+1=9 Tuesday April 8th, 2003 11:59:41 PM
Taric shakes his head while saying to Kenisha: "Don't worry about me, I've got some potions of my own. In fact, anyone could use one or two? They are not that strong, but will help for sure."
He then takes out two potions and drinks one himself.
OOC: drinking potion of CLW for 9 hitpoints
Kanchana(AC20; Mage Armor) d20+3=18 Wednesday April 9th, 2003 12:16:20 AM
Kanchana deftly catches the robe and immediately casts Detect Magic on the robe. If it seems safe enough then she will begin to search it very, very carefully for secret pockets and such. If the robe shows even the slightest trace of magic she will not give it back to the Minotaur. Kanchana looks straight at the Wolfmaster; not being in the least bit bothered by his nudity, and says: "If this robe shows even the slightest trace of magic or has even one tiny hidden pocket then you will NOT be getting it back. Then I hope that someone can lend you some clothing or you will just have to walk around in your birthday-suit." She looks down at the robe and proceeds to search it throughly.
(Casts Detect Magic for 3 rounds on the robe, and searches it for 5 rounds; Search = 18)
Brahmah (disregard last post, erase please) Wednesday April 9th, 2003 2:36:31 AM
"I agree that we need to test the robe for magic. Tell us whether there is a secret pocket, if your honest, you keep the robe. If your not, we'll use the robe as a gag and blindfold." Says the captain. "Gag him too, Flat-top. No blindfold." Brahmah then looks at the Wolfmaster. "What's you given taur name friend. I'm tired of calling you Wolfmaster, or did your master take that too when he took your sense."
Leets Wednesday April 9th, 2003 4:18:07 AM
"I don't see why we should have pity for this one, he wanted to sacrifice Kenisha after all...I say we should give him enough cloth to hide what is needed to be hidden, but I don't think he needs his robe..."
Picking a blanket in his own bag, Leets throws it at the Wolfmaster's face, and adds:
"Maybe without your robe you'll see how one cleric feels without his god..."
Brahmah (additional) Wednesday April 9th, 2003 5:05:02 AM
"Wolfmaster, my paladin friend IS right. You should walk with us humbly like an urchin in the streets in rags, but I respect you for surrendering... that was intelligent... I could have killed you. Like I said before, Domi has spared you through me, our father has plans." He pauses. "You can gain further trust in us if you abide our rules and disrobe fully and wrap up in the blanket. The paladin here may gain further trust in you as well if you do so." "Girls, and whoever else, may turn away while he does so. I will watch him."
NOTE: No Chosen should mention their or anothers name while in the presence of the Wolfmaster. Call it a hunch. (IC: Brahmah will mention it in passing to each of you that no names should be said.)
Kale Wednesday April 9th, 2003 11:04:13 AM
"I say we just slit his throat and be done with him." Kale says "He's just another burdon we have to lug around." then he walks over to Taric and says "I can use one of those potions."
The Silent Prisoner(dm sam) Wednesday April 9th, 2003 11:08:42 AM
Kenisha'search finds that the robe is non-magical. she also finds two hidden pockets, but whatever was in them is gone now. the Wolfmaster does everything the Chosen says to do, though he doesnt answer any of their questions or says anything to them. this makes Ironarm very angry. "You'll tell me where my son is, or by Domi im going to cave your head in!!" the angry centaur says as he waves his mace in the air, preparing to strike the bound minotaur
Kanchana Wednesday April 9th, 2003 2:44:25 PM
"Well that settles that. I keep the robe for now, unless the majority say he can have it back. The robe is non-magical and there are two hidden pockets which are empty." Kanchana rolls up the robe tightly and stuffs it into a side pocket on her backpack.
(OOC: Sam Kanchana did the robe checks for pockets and magic not Kenisha)
Ceira Wednesday April 9th, 2003 4:24:41 PM
"It probably is hard for him to talk if his mouth is gagged." comments Ceira. "Should we take it off or leave it on? We still have to find Ironarm's son."
Flat-top Wednesday April 9th, 2003 6:25:34 PM
"Nope! I say gag him, He still can do alot of damages with that mouth of is," Flat-top squeezes the minotaut face untill his lips pucker, then Flat-top pats his face a little hard. "All tied up Captain! are you sure you don't want Kale to bleed him just a little?" Flat-top softly ask Leets to lay his hand on him for a little bit of Healing.
Taric Wednesday April 9th, 2003 7:39:55 PM
Taric just listens and at the request of Kale hands him one of his potions. He then takes another two out of his backpack and asks again: "Anyone else in need of one of those?"
OOC: potion of CLW
Brahmah d8+1=6 d8+1=8 Thursday April 10th, 2003 12:51:51 AM
The Captain deactivates his wings.
"Give him the robe, keep him gagged.... if he feels like saying where the young centaur is, if he even knows, then ungag him and let him tell."
"Wolfmaster, I suggest you answer the taurs question about his son. Or I can't be sure what he'll do to you." Placing a hand on Ironarms shoulder.
The captain then removes two potions from his pack and uncorks them both and drinks them (CLW's, heals 14).
Leets Thursday April 10th, 2003 3:20:14 AM
"Oh I'm sorry Flat-Top...I had to channel almost all my holy power to save Taric a couple of hours ago, and I will have to draw some forces in the next sunlight to heal you better..."
However, Leets puts his palm on the chest of his friend, and some pale white light appears (1HP). Flat-Top can also see that Leets has a lot of wounds bleeding.
"Maybe you can drink this, I saved it during the last battle..."
Leets offers Flat-Top a potion of cure moderate wounds if he ever needs it. The paladin then walks to the prisoner, his anger suddenly coming back like a flame in his eyes.
"You know Kale, I would like to cut his throat as much as you...However, I think he must know much about the cult of Marteaus on this island, and surely about Ironarm's son..."
"...and I'm sure he will talk, with, or without our help..."
Kenisha Thursday April 10th, 2003 6:11:19 AM
Kenisha walks up to Leets and giving a pointed look at his wounds, hands him her potion of cure moderate wounds. "I'd say you need this, my friend."
Kale d8+1=5 Thursday April 10th, 2003 9:15:32 PM
thanking Taric for the potion, Kale quickly downs it. then he says "We, do we rest here or do we go on?"
The Enrraged Ironarm(dm sam) d20+8=22 d8+3=11 Thursday April 10th, 2003 9:20:01 PM
as everyone decides whether to gag and robe the Wolfmaster, Ironarm continues to move toward him. he pauses a moment when Brahmah puts his arm on him, but he shoves Brahmah aside and smashes the Wolfmaster in the head with his mace(hit ac 22 for 11 pts). the Wolfmaster falls heavily to the ground, blood pouring from his skull
Taric d8+1=8 Friday April 11th, 2003 12:34:21 AM
When Taric sees Ironarm hitting the bound Wolfmaster he jumps up and runs towards the bleeding Wolfmaster. While passing Ironarm he says: "Are you no better than him? Attacking a bound prisoner, a helpless person? I do understand you are worried about your son, but killing this man won't bring your son back, on the contrary." Taric then kneels down next to the body of the Wolfmaster and administers the potion he still holds in his hand, slowly dripping the liquid into the Wolfmaster's mouth.
OOC: healing the Wolfmaster for 8 hitpoints if he gets the chance.
Kanchana d20+7=23 Friday April 11th, 2003 1:14:34 AM
Kanchana's jaw drops open, "Oh by Tomi! That was unforgivably wrong of you." She rushes over to the Wolfmaster and quickly takes out her healing supplies. Immediately upon Taric finishing with the potion she begins to tend the Wolfmaster's headwound. "Regardless I stay here until we are rested and healed, and this Taur hopefully lives and heals too."
(Healing skill check succeeds with a DC of 23)
(OOC: I don't know if I was supposed to roll that or you Sam so I rolled it, if I was not supposed to then of course please ignore the roll)
Brahmah d20+15=30 d20+15=25 Friday April 11th, 2003 6:25:50 AM RRROOOAAARRR!!! Screams the captain, grabbing Ironarm around his upper torso and byceps to restrain him.
(Grapple; base +5, str +6, size +4 *large vs large*= 30 touch AC total to grab) *Do centaurs get a bonus for having four legs?* Take an attack of op, if you damage me I fail grapple attempt; if I succeed, he's grappled. If you fail the opposed(check of 25), Ironarm is held. My Dodge AC versus Ironarm is AC 22.
"Taric, is he alive?!" Asks the worried captain.
Into the enraged fathers ear, Brahmah whispers, "You do know what this means? Your no diplomat. I think if he survives, you two should fight a KAYLEB of Retaliation with me as Counselor."
Brahmah thinks for a moment, then continues. "My father was killed by a dishonorable centaur, stabbed in the back! I'm just happy your son wasn't here to see his fathers dishonor. The taur was tied up for Domi sake!"
OOC: Grapple confuses me to a point, let me know if I have the basics down or if I need help. :) Also, my favored enemy is centaurs, so I should be helping the search.... tracking. ;)
Flat-top d20+3=15 Friday April 11th, 2003 6:31:12 AM
Flat-top shaking his head,is unable to stop Ironarm from striking the Evil Prisoner, "Ahhh! Now look what you've done, it's going to be harder to find your son and the others now". Flat-top Now talking to Leets and Brahmah, "I'm ashame of what this Centaur did to this tied up Evil Minotaur Pisoner. Flat-top will go to serch for tracks. Mumbling to himself, "I wish I had stop off at the Catacums and pick up a few Cure potion."
OOC: Rolled 15 for serch.
Kale Friday April 11th, 2003 10:20:06 AM
"Saves me the trouble of doing it." Kale mumbles as he just stands there and watches the others try to save the Wolfmaster. "Waste of time, if you ask me." he says of their efforts
Ceira Friday April 11th, 2003 4:03:45 PM
Ceira is left aghast at what has transpired. "We go out of our way to help you find your son and you go and do this?" she says to Ironarm. "Isn't it obvious that our intent is to keep him prisoner? I beleive your emotions have taken the best of you. I want you to relax because we are here to help. There are no signs of anything tragic happening to your son. True, we have his bow but we also found no carcass either. He's probably also being taken prisoner and being cared for. Would you like their captives to kill your helpless son on the spot? No, of course not! Now get a hold of yourself."
Kenisha Friday April 11th, 2003 4:27:21 PM
Shaken and pale from viewing Ironarm's attack on the helpless taur, Kenisha can add no words of censure that hasn't already been spoken by the others. She does move over to Taric and Kanchana asking, "Does he still live?"
Divisions?(dm sam) Sunday April 13th, 2003 11:10:58 PM
Kanchana and Taric are able to stableize Wolfmaster, though he doesnt wake up. Flat-Top's search doesnt turn up any tracks, it seems that the battle has pretty much destroyed any trace of them
Ironarm drops his mace to the ground and goes fairly limp in Brahmah's arms. though he doesnt respond to any of the Chosen's words, there is clearly a look of horror across his face. after a moment or two a few tears begin to stream down his cheeks
Taric Monday April 14th, 2003 12:24:10 AM
Realizing the Wolfmaster is stable now, Taric stands up and learning no tracks were found, he says: "What about we set up camp here? It's getting mighty dark soon and we'll not be able to pick up any tracks anyway in these conditions. And maybe mr. Wolfmaster will wake up in the meantime to tell us more....."
Taric then falls silent, realizing suddenly he was talking out loud to all the Chosen, something he wasn't accustomed to at all.
Kanchana Monday April 14th, 2003 1:41:11 AM
"Alright everyone I need to know who needs wounds tended to. I would like to rest here so our spellcasters can sleep, and I can see to everyone who is wounded. The tracks should be easier to find in the morning." Kanchana hopes that the party (including Ironarm) will accept her healer services. "Flat-Top I still have your Cure Moderate Wounds potion, I should have given it back to you many moments ago, I am truly sorry for my neglect." Looking around at the battle site she adds: "We might want to leave the trail to set up camp." She wonders about the best way to move the prisoner without aggrivating his wounds. Kanchana packs her gear up single-mindedly and prepares to look for a good camp site. She is rather embarrassed over forgetting to give Flat-Top his potion back.
Flat-top d8+5=12 Monday April 14th, 2003 5:24:14 AM
After searching for any kind of a trail. He returns to the group, Kanchana speak and hands him a potoin, Flat-top takes back his potion, but Gently holds on to her hand (Flat-top want her full attention)"Kanchana. Look around you there is Three races of Taurs, more or less enermies but united by Domi or Tomi What other name He goes after, for one common goal. I'm not you enemie and the Brahmah, Kale or Taric. Neither are Kenisha or Leets. And when Kenisha has her colt, You'll see that it will be half Centaur and half Weinic. Ceria can tell you all about the both of them. As you fight along our side, you'll start to understand as to why you were Chosen. I gave you this potion for you to diside, as who needed the most. If you feel I need it most, then and only then I will take it, Sister." Flat-top takes the top off the potion, he whispers and winks to Ceria, "you know she starting to fit in."
Flat-top will stand with the others, "Well! I don't find anything, and we do need a rest. Captain who gets first watch? Huh! I see he's still alive."
OOC: Flat-top get 12hp of cure.
Leets Monday April 14th, 2003 10:16:48 AM
Leets gently put his hand on Ironarm's shoulder.
"Domi knows I don't care seeing this one dead or alive...But we still need him to find your son, and he musn't die this way. You know, he would probably have to face Domi's clergymen if I could bring him back to civilization...And then he would be punished..."
Not really knowing if he can use his two potions of cure moderate wounds, Leets drinks one (how much does it heal? D8+???)but saves the other, not knowing what to do with it...
"Kanchana, Taric...Maybe the Wolfmaster needs this, foe or not..."
Leets offers a potion of cure moderate wounds.
Ceira Monday April 14th, 2003 5:41:46 PM
Ceira quickly changes her tone from scolding to soothing. "It's okay Ironarm," she says as she picks up his hands and hold them. "I can see that you truly love your son so it is natural that you, as a parent, feel this way towards malicious kidnappers. Everyone has fought long and also traveled far only to see battle again. Both mind and body grow weary so your misdeeds are forgiven."
Kenisha Monday April 14th, 2003 7:59:05 PM
"I'll be in first watch." Kenisha tells Brahamah softly. "I'll need an uninterrupted night of sleep if I'm to be of use to you magically tomorrow."
Brahmah Monday April 14th, 2003 9:27:38 PM
Brahmah slowly lets go of Ironarm and keeps one hand firmly on his shoulder. "We'll find your son, but not this late in the depth of this forest with no trail and soon darkness. Taric and Kanchana are right, we need to set camp. Ceira and Taric should also get a full nights rest. Okay watches. Flat-top and Kale(on 2nd), Ironarm (on 3rd), Leets and Managarm(on 4th), and myself (on 1st and 3rd). Each watch two hours a piece. Kanchana, you should have 4th watch as well.
I, for one, could use the sleep, but I'll break it up over the night. I take first watch with Kenisha and Ironarms watch... no offense Ironarm but you can understand that I want you both to be safe, you because you are a friend and brother and the Martean scum you just beat into a pulp, who might help find your son if he remains alive."
The captain picks up his pack and scoops up Ironarms mace. "If you don't mind, I'll hold onto this until camp is set." He says looking at the missing boys father, shakes his head with understanding and some disappointment. However, as he bends to pick up the weapon, his side cracks and begins to trickle a bit of blood. "Arrccg, Kanchana I guess with all this foolishness forgot I was hurt, I could use a bit of healing. Actually, this is a deep one... ouch!" He says as he sticks his finger into the wound. "I hate scythes, they should remain a farm tool!!"
Brahmah Monday April 14th, 2003 9:32:54 PM
"Any suggestions on watch orders will be happily excepted."
Taric Tuesday April 15th, 2003 2:09:31 AM
Taric walks up to Brahmah and says: "I only need a couple of hours sleep to get fully rested and I think Kenisha should take all the rest she can get. We don't want anything happening to her baby now, would we? So I'll keep first watch with Ironarm and you or any other watch you want me to Brahmah."
Taric jaw is set quite firm, showing he is certain about this decision he made. He only hopes Brahmah and Kenisha accept it as the advice he intended it to be.
Brahmah Tuesday April 15th, 2003 4:01:50 AM
"Taric.. the thinker. Sounds great Friend." Brahmah smiles and shakes his head in the affirmative.
Leets d8+5=8 Tuesday April 15th, 2003 7:08:19 AM
"I would prefer to have my watch just before dawn, to be able to pray Domi..."
OOC: Leets receives 8 HP of the potion.
Kanchana d8+1=3 d8+1=9 Tuesday April 15th, 2003 10:23:40 AM
"Leets keep your potion. I will take care of his wounds by other more easily replenishable means." Kanchana then walks over to the carcass of the Undead wolf she killed and prys out a long fang (Canine tooth?)from it's jaw and deposits the tooth into her Totem bag. "Thank you Tomi for giving me strength to give this creature rest." Before walking off to find a better campsite Kanchana takes out her wand speaks the activation word quietly and points it at Brahmah. "4th watch is fine then I can pray for my spells at dawn." She puts her wand back into its sheath.
(OOC: Uses Wand of Cure Light Wounds; 2 charges, heal 12 pts dmg to Brahmah)
Kanachana (OOC Addendum) Tuesday April 15th, 2003 10:25:56 AM
OOPS! I am assuming that 4th watch is the watch right before dawn. If it isn't then Kanchana will take the watch right before dawn so she can memorize and pray for spells.
Brahmah(OOC) Tuesday April 15th, 2003 6:09:36 PM
Yes, 4th watch was intended for the divine casters, that's why Leets and Kanchana are on that watch. :D
"Kanchana, thanks for the healing."
Kale Tuesday April 15th, 2003 8:15:27 PM
"I dont want to camp with all these dead bodies around. Cant we move down the trail a bit?" Kale asks everyone
Camping Tuesday April 15th, 2003 8:23:02 PM
Ironarm just nodds as Brahmah takes his mace. the leader of the Chosen can see that the blacksmith is still in shock and isnt responding to anyone. in his current state, he doesnt look like he would be very useful on watch. the Wolfmaster is still unconcious, though he seems to be out of any danger. everyone else prepares to camp for the night
Brahmah d20-1=5 Wednesday April 16th, 2003 2:00:15 AM
"Yeah, Kale I understand that. Let's move down the trail a half mile or so. Predators might find us after though, regardless. All this blood and death will bring them real soon." He looks at Ironarm. "Um, well, I'll take Ironarm off 3rd watch."
After reaching a relatively cluttered sight, Brahmah says, "This as good as I can find." (wilderness lore 5) "Let's bed down." He sits down plucks a stone out of a hoof. He unrolls his bedroll and sits down for 1st watch. (Cold camp or fire friends?)
Leets Wednesday April 16th, 2003 4:34:37 AM
Leets blushes a little when he realize he will have the 4th watch with Kanchana...
"Err...Oh...well, that's great, maybe we can talk a little this way, we couldn't really get to know you with all this...well...you see...And we can pray together too! It's a long time since the last time I've prayed with another cleric!"
"Oh, and I have to introduce you to another Chosen...Here is my friend Managarm...Come on my dog!"
A golden "german" sheperd arrives, barking a little and licking his own wounds.
Flat-top d20+3=16 d20+4=23 d20+6=12 Wednesday April 16th, 2003 8:30:05 AM
In a spot in the forest, Flat-top stack an armful of dead wood for a fire, "Tauric,can you use a little magic for a fire here? Please?" After the fire is lite, Flat-top picks a spot where he can search the edge of the woods, He'll be able to see anything and listens if he can here anything out og the ordernary. To Brahmah, he whispers 'Captain! I hope it will be a very quiet night.'
OOC: Search-16 - Spot-23 - Listens-12.
Kanchana Wednesday April 16th, 2003 9:18:33 AM
Kanchana checks the bandages on the Wolfmaster's wounds, places his robe over him and finally spreads her bedroll over the prisoner. She ties closed her gear keeping her healing supplies handy. Then she cleans her bite wound and dresses it, while taking care of her own wound she munches on some trail rations. Next Kanchana cleans and tends any obvious wounds the rest of the party might have. Smiling at Leets Kanchana says: "Yes, it will be nice to have company to talk to while it is peaceful. Though Druids do tend towards solitude I suppose, I truly do look forward sharing prayer with you. Will Managarm let me look to his wounds as well?" When finished she puts her healer's kit away. When all of her personal duties are finished Kanchana will curl up under her cloak using her backpack as a pillow. She will try to get some sleep, trusting in the vigilance of the watch. "Goodnight all, may Father Tomi bless your rest. Wake me if anyone needs anything I can help with."
Ceira Wednesday April 16th, 2003 10:40:15 AM
Ceira lets out a purr as she is lulled to sleep by the crackle of the firey embers that keep her warm.
Kenisha Wednesday April 16th, 2003 4:38:35 PM
Even though she isn't needed for the watch, Kenisha stays up for a few hours and keeps them company before going to sleep.
Taric Wednesday April 16th, 2003 7:34:24 PM
Taric shakes his head at Flat-Top when asked for some magic to light the fire. "I don't use that kind of magic. But I have some ordinary means to help you though."
He takes out a flint and steel and starts blazing up the fire. He then takes his place next to Brahmah to keep watch.
Kale Thursday April 17th, 2003 9:08:55 AM
Kale pulls out something to eat while he's on watch. he offers some to Flat-Top and says "I can still smell the dead wolves. Hopefully no scavengers will interupt us tonight."
Slumbering(dm sam) d100=24 d100=32 Thursday April 17th, 2003 9:11:16 AM

Brahmah d20=17 d20-2=-1 d8+1=3 Thursday April 17th, 2003 4:41:23 PM
Waking up for third watch, Brahmah stands alert (spot 17, listen -1). His mind is on the next days activities and prisoner. He thinks of Ironarms actions the previous night and tries to figure out what to do with both 'tag-alongs'. The Captain nibbles on a bit of last nights meal and warms some water on the fire. He chugs down another one of his potions (3pts) After an hour passes, Brahmah activates his wings and hovers over the camp for awhile, occassionally moving past the top of the canopy and looking over the forest.
OOC: Current hp's are indeed 44 Sam, now 47.
Kanchana Thursday April 17th, 2003 5:32:57 PM
Kanchana sleeps peacefully albeit somewhat coldly under her cloak. She purrs softly in her sleep. Kanchana is bedded down not too far from the wounded prisoner.

Kenisha is sleeping (also standing upright) peacefully, only the occasional flick of the tail or kick from her unborn foal interrupt the regular patterns of her breathing.
Taric Friday April 18th, 2003 1:49:36 AM
Taric settles down in a somewhat relaxing sleep after his watch is over.
OOC: correct about hp's
Ceira (Addendum) Friday April 18th, 2003 4:10:47 PM
OOC: Ceira's hitpoints are correct.
Brahmah (wings active) Sunday April 20th, 2003 3:27:36 AM
The captain flies around above the camp and watches over his companions.
The Next Day(dm sam) d100=12 Monday April 21st, 2003 11:50:47 AM
the last two watches pass uneventfully. morning breaks to find everyone well and rested. Ironarm seems to be a bit better, though he still looks like he's in a bit of shock at what he did. the Wolfmaster is still unconcious, but it looks like he may wake up soon.
Flat-top d20+1=5 d20+3=14 d20+4=21 Monday April 21st, 2003 1:57:19 PM
Wakes and streches, then he's off into the woods edges, Looking for wilds berries to eat with the trail meals. Picks a few apples for the girls. Coming back to camp, he shows every body "Look what I pick along the trail, Some mushrooms, apples, Berries, alfafa and wild catnip. Are we ready for breakfast??" Flat-top smiles at every body. "I didn't see any thing along the trail."
OOC: Wilderness Lore 5 - Search 14 - Spot 21.
Taric Monday April 21st, 2003 2:01:50 PM
Stretching a bit, Taric starts to study his book and finishes a while later. Feeling a lot better after the night he walks around to check on the Wolfmaster. Seeing as he seems to be in a rather good condition for the circumstances he walks on towards Ironarm. Noticing the distress Taric walks close to him and says softly: "We'll find your son, no matter what. Even if we have to turn the last tree in this forest upside down."
Kenisha Monday April 21st, 2003 11:38:26 PM
Kenisha goes through her morning routines and happily takes an apple from Flat-top's bounty. While munching on it she asks, "Any sign of the trail?"
Kanchana Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 1:16:08 AM
Kanchana is happy that her watch passed uneventfully. At dawn she prays for her spells and then memorizes her mage spells. She then checks the prisoner, and will see if he can be roused later in the morning. Kanchana packs up most of her gear now and takes out some trail rations for breakfast. "Is anyone still feeling under the weather?" She proceeds to sit near the fire to eat her meager meal.
Brahmah d20-1=15 Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 1:24:25 AM
(Deactivates wings during his last watch.) Brahmah wakes and then does a few excercises to work out his sore muscles. Brahmah is quiet for the first couple of hours of morning. He contemplates the reason for letting the Wolmaster live and why Domi may have wanted him to survive this long. Could he be a witness to the young taurs capture or death? Is he here to betray the Chosen or the Taurs, again? Does he have a future at all?? "Chosen, let's move." He packs up and askes the trackers which way to go. (Tracking 15, 16 if there are centaur tracks other than the party's.)
OOC:How many hit points do we recover at the end of the night? Should more healing take place?
Kale Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 3:28:05 PM
"We dont even know where we're going." Kale says to Brahmah as he starts to pack up. "Anyway, what are we going to do with him?" he asks as he points his finger at the Wolfmaster.
Where To Now?(dm sam) Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 3:32:58 PM
(OOC,everyone heals back 2 ps for resting the night)
Ironarm nodds at Tarics kind words, but he still doesnt say a word. about twenty minuets after everyone wakes up Wolfmaster starts moaning and tries to sit up, but his wounds and his bonds prevent him from moving too much. after he hears Brahmah's and Kale's words he begins to chuckle, as if he knows something
Kanchana Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 5:09:06 PM
Noting that the prisoner is awake Kanchana takes her bedroll and starts to pack it down. "Well good morning to you too Mr. Chuckles, I decided to give you back your robe as it seemed harmless enough. I am not certain that I can say the same for you though. None the less you are in my care and I will see to your health as well as theirs as best I can." With all of her gear packed down and her weapons checked Kanchana slings her backpack on her back and says "do we have any extra food and water to see that all are fed for the morning?" She stays near the prisoner just in case anyone has any aggressive twitches.
Flat-top Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 6:24:59 PM
"No I didn't see any sing of any hooves any where, But look our sleepy head is waking up. Here take the rest of the food, I don't even want to look at him. My Domi frogive me." Flat-top pack his saddle bags and put them on his (horse part) back. Then the weapons on his (human part) back. "Captain! I'm ready. Please tell me that I don't have to carry that Dole of a minotaur? I don't like his smerk." Flat-top look at the prisoner and wonders *almost as if he is waiting for some..one OR some..thing??*
Brahmah Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 7:09:22 PM
As the prisoner lays there, Brahmah gets an insite into the Taurs motives. Thinking to himself, The prisoner notices the good in the Chosen and he's trying to cause one of us to waver, I don't want any of the Chosen to waver, notes the captain. I know a bluff when I see it... I think. His smirk, so obvious, he knows nothing. I have a bluff for him. Brahmah smirks, then his face goes angry.
"No Flat-top, you won't have to carry him." Brahmah draws one Falchion and goes for the Wolfmaster, the strike missing his head by just inches. Feigning surprise at missing, Brahmah leans down to the Wolfmaster. "I can't gauruntee I'll miss next time, FRIEND!"
Brahmah sheathes his Falchion and stands up hauling the prisoner with him. "Where to now then? Anyone have a clue?" He taps the Wolfmaster on the back of the head. "Lead us into your TRAP, friend, go ahead!" Holding onto the leash, Brahmah waits for some response from someone.
(OOC: Until we find a place for the Wolfmaster, Brahmah will shoulder the burden.)
Kenisha d20+3=7 Tuesday April 22nd, 2003 10:17:48 PM
Kenisha gasps loudly as Brahmah swings his falchion at the bound prisoner. "Brahmah! Don't stoop to his level, please." she pleads with him after he finishes with the Wolfmaster.
(ooc: I'd say a 7 is a failure on a Sense Motive check, lol)
Taric Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 12:08:14 AM
Turning to Kanchana, Taric says: "I've felt better before. But only if the others are feeling good."
Noting from the corner of his eyes how Brahmah brings down the falchion on the wolfmaster, Taric sighs an inaudible sigh of relief when Brahmah misses. Not believing the leader of the Chosen would miss a bound prey, he got a clue to what Brahmah is up to, but decides to keep silent for now.
Kale Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 9:36:32 AM
"You shouldnt of missed." Kale says to Brahmahs he walks over to him. "If you want him dead let Ironarm finish what he started."
Awake(dm sam) Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 9:44:07 AM
the Wolfmaster nodds to Kachanga's kindness. then when Brahmah swings his sword, the Wolfmaster doesnt flinch, and continues to chuckel "If you didnt kill me last night, you wont kill me now." he says smugly to Brahmah. "Let me ask you a question. Do you know what your looking for? And where? I can assure you that you continue down this path you wont find anything but more trees."
Brahmah Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 1:50:16 PM
"Riddles, riddles and more riddles. I'm not impressed. Your smarter than you look Wolfmaster. Your right, Domi told me last night not to waste good steel on the likes of you. I suppose you now going to tell us that the 'right' path is to follow your worthless Marteaus? You Martean worshippers are all the same. Blah blah blah, I haven't seen one dang thing that makes me believe he's better than any one other God." Brahmah turns to Kale, then nods as he begins to agree with rogue. He ties the rope off to a tree and moves the group away so that the Wolfmaster and Ironarm can't hear. "Leets, tell Managarm to watch him for a second. Ironarm, watch our prisoner for a moment. Leave you mace." "Chosen, I may have made a mistake not killing him, I need your advice. I know what you think Kale, but I need more." Frowns the captain. "Should I set a KAYLEB between those two? I honestly don't think he'll be much good to us. If this had happened a few years ago, I would have tied him to a tree and left him for the vultures. I'm Chosen now, I can't do that. Should I let Irnarm finish the job or should I set a KAYLEB between those two? I'm confused, I'm not a thinker."
Flat-top Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 2:53:40 PM
"Captain! I'm a Centaur not a Minotaur. I know not of Kalebs. I only saw one once on Minotaur Island. A Kaleb between a Centaur Blacksmith and an Evil Magic User is a bit one sided. You know he'll conjur his evil magic with his mouth. But he seem much too smug, He knows something. I think we should put a knoos around his neck, and pull the rope up a little tight, when he gets tired he'll slump, thus starting to choking himself. Maybe then he'll remember which trail we should use. Just an Idea, and beside I really don't like him." said Flat-top with a hard note in his voice, you all never heard from him before.
Ceira Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 3:19:29 PM
Ceira is a bit shocked but quickly recomposes herself, "We should think twice before doing something rash. First of all, he surrendered and how often does that happen under the watchful eye of Mateaus? Even if he escapes, he will be under much scrutiny and maybe even death. Marteaus does not seem like the forgiving type. The Wolfmaster might be trying to defect after seeing our might in battle."
Kanchana d8+1=6 Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 3:55:36 PM
Before leaving the Wolfmaster and Ironarm Kanchana heals (6 hp) Taric with her wand, quietly uttering the command word. Kanchana listens to the others, but suddenly she speaks up rather passionately: "Much good to us? What of our duties; our responsibilities to all Taurs?" She looks everyone in the eyes "He is a person. A person who has made some wrong choices, not a thing to cast away as one sees fit! Perhaps I speak wrongly and beyond my rights; after all I do; sadly, not know you well enough yet. Still he is in my care and I will not see him harmed while it is so." Then meekly, pleadingly she continues her tirade: "Besides Father Tomi loves all of his children... even the wayward ones. No more fighting; not now, not while we still seek to know the fate of Ironarm's son."
Taric Wednesday April 23rd, 2003 8:49:37 PM
Taric thanks Kanchana and nods while she holds her speech. While not agreeing with everything, he waits till she is finished and then says: "As long as there is a chance to find Ironarm son, we have to take it. And I'm sure he knows more. The only problem is how to get it out of him. And lastly. I think he is already succeeding in one of his intentions. To divide the Chosen, something that may never happen. He is smarther than we all realize right now. So, let us just make sure we reach a concensus about him, before he manages to drive a wedge into the Chosen."
Kenisha Thursday April 24th, 2003 12:12:58 AM
"Finding the missing taurs is more important. And even if he doesn't tell us where they are, what and how he does talk could tell us something." Kenisha adds to the debate.
Brahmah(Jay) Thursday April 24th, 2003 8:37:09 AM
OOC Post
Okay all, I'm leaving on my trip Tuesday and I haven't received any emails flocking from anyone wanting to play Brahmah. Does anyone want to job until the 24th of May? Please. :D Currently I'm in the Catacombs and hopefully will be out SOON. When I am, I'll email the gracious player my current PC sheet.
Sam, sorry about posting OOC, but I only got a reply from you about Brahmah. Erase this when you feel it is time. :)
Kale Friday April 25th, 2003 7:15:49 AM
Kale shakes his head and says "Taric is right.We need to make a decision about him right now. He obvously knows where the missing centaurs are, and im pretty sure threats of violence wont work. We have to find some other way to get the info out of him."
Meeting(dm sam) Friday April 25th, 2003 7:18:50 AM
as the Chosen meet off to the side, the Wolfmaster leans agains the tree that he's tied to. he doesnt pay Ironarm or Maragarm any attention, his focus concentrated on the meeting he cant hear
Flat-top Friday April 25th, 2003 12:02:40 PM
Flat-top Looks very imposing with his arm cross on his chest. "Your right, he is trying to divide us. I know he know something about the young centaurs. But how to get that infomation out of him. Hmm! I wonder if Vus could start to be unkind to the prisoner, you know a few growls and a little snaping at the toes?? How about it Leets?" Flat-top look at Leets.
Vus Friday April 25th, 2003 12:07:38 PM
Vus sits beside Leets and scratches his ear.
Taric Saturday April 26th, 2003 1:09:37 AM
"I'm against torture and those kind of things, but it might be the only thing that works against those kind of taurs. They only respect power as I've understood it. But it should be like a mild kind of torture, if that would work at all." Taric shudders involuntarily at the thought of actually torturing someone, even if it would be for a good cause. Thinking for a moment, he then remarks.
"What if we let him think he succeeded in his goal? Dividing the Chosen I mean. Leaving Flat-Top and Kale alone with him and the rest of us leaving, pretending we're looking for the lost centaurs, not caring about what happens to the wolfmaster anymore. I guess it would be had to pull off, but maybe it might work. What do all of you think about it?"
Taric looks at the others expectantly, nervous for their answer.
Jay Saturday April 26th, 2003 5:27:01 AM
OOC:
Who is Vus?
Managram Saturday April 26th, 2003 9:42:44 AM
ooc: Opps wrong dog in another game.
Managram sits beside his master and scratches his dogie ears.
Kanchana Saturday April 26th, 2003 3:18:15 PM
Looking at Taric, Kanchana calmly replies: "That is a good plan, but I cannot go along with it. I have stated my reasons already for not seeing him harmed. His judgement should be left to the people and the council of this isle in conjunction with the offended parties." Looking away and at no one in particular she continues: "Besides you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."
Kenisha Sunday April 27th, 2003 11:09:27 PM
"I don't thing honey works with these guys, not with the god they follow. But you could try. Who here is the fastest? I say we send him back to the village for judgement with our fastest taur and while they are gone, we look for Ironarm's son, leaving markers for him or her to follow when they return."
Ceira Monday April 28th, 2003 6:54:57 PM
"Being a sorceress, I'm afraid I am not a very good candidate to escort the Wolfmaster back by myself." comments Ceira. "Although a good idea, I think we should stay together and press onward. He might be a burden but I think this is a minor issue. Ironarm's son could be in great peril right now so we should pretend we never caught the Wolfmaster and continue on quickly."
Kale Monday April 28th, 2003 8:44:17 PM
"I agree with Ceira. He almost took down Brahmah, and I dont think anyone can take him one on one." Kale says to Kenisha
Antoher Member?(dm sam) Monday April 28th, 2003 8:47:14 PM
as the Chosen continue to debate about what to do with the Wolfmaster, they hear a rucus coming from the nearby woods. a moment later a wild-looking wemic breaks out of the woods
Kenisha Tuesday April 29th, 2003 12:32:17 AM
"Well I guess you're right..." Kenisha is interupted by the commotion from the woods. She turns as best she can to see what new threat is coming at them only to see a wemic. She looks over at Brahmah even as she takes a defensive stance.
Taric Tuesday April 29th, 2003 12:33:31 AM
Taric looks up as the sounds disturb their discussion. Readying himself he sees a liontaur emerge. Not sure what to do he tries to look unthreatening but at the same times he readies himself to spring into action if that would be needed.
Kanchana Tuesday April 29th, 2003 1:09:58 AM
Kanchana laughs, "looks like I am not the only one with a penchant for stepping out of the woods unlooked for." She looks at the stranger and in Wemic she says "hail brother. Are you in a hurry?" Kanchana figures that the distance between them is enough to hold off on any threatening moves at the moment.
Brahmah Tuesday April 29th, 2003 2:50:35 AM
Brahmah draws his Falchions and stands defensive(dodge AC vs new taur is 22).
"Greetings and speak quickly and clear, we have had a heck of a night. Speak now Taur." No anger in the Chosen leaders eyes, but has deep ferrowed eyebrows. Concern and wariness perhaps. "We here assembled are the Chosen of Domi!"
Brahmah looks the Taur up and down for Marteaus symbolism and prepares to take off the wemics head if they don't speak quickly and as a friend.
(OOC: If the wemic is friend, welcome. If not, he's a dead taur. ;) )
Flat-top Tuesday April 29th, 2003 6:05:40 AM
Flat-top was about to replay to Kenchana "Yes! Young one But...!" There out of the bushes and trees, emerges a liontour. Flat-top Grabs his Morning Star from around his neck, Look at him from head to tail, then asked him "Oh! I see you found some game? What bring you here?"
Flat-top next move if they get no answer, is attack.
Kah Tuesday April 29th, 2003 8:32:52 AM
The liontaur before you is wearing leather armor, adorned with bone and feather. On his face and haunches he wears tribal markings in various colors. His long black mane is gathered in small bunches with bone and feather ties. He carries a large wooden sheild and a long spear, both of which are adorned like his hair.
Standing off from you, he calls out with a loud roar "I am Kah Stumblepaw. Do you see that I have no fear of you, though you are many paws, and I am one? Do you see this to be true?"
When Brahmah speaks, Kah's spear raises to a less agressive posture. He calls out "Chosen of Domi, this name is known to me. It is good that the spirits have led me here today, for I have felt the great finger point at my heart."
The liontaur waits to see what the group before him does.
Kale and Leets Tuesday April 29th, 2003 9:50:04 PM
both Kale and Leets draw their swords as Kah approaches the group. after hearing his words, Leets lets his sword down, though Kale continues to raise his
Intro's(dm sam) Tuesday April 29th, 2003 9:53:34 PM
Kah's arrival interupts the Chosen's discusion of what to do with the Wolfmaster. as Kah and the Chosen decide if they are friends or foes, the Wolfmaster moves behind the tree he's tied to. though he's not completly out of sight, no one can see what he may be doing
Taric Wednesday April 30th, 2003 12:41:00 AM
Hearing the words of bravery and honor of Kah, the just arrived liontaur, Taric relaxes, sensing Kah has no evil intentions.
"Welcome Kah," he says quietly, barely audible. "What great finger are you talking off?"
Flat-top Wednesday April 30th, 2003 6:33:29 AM
A Centaur who stands about 8'6". his weight around 1,065 or 1,070 lbs. His side is Black with white spits (piebald), hi is also dark-skined, with White hair/mane/tail. He has ice blue eyes, almost as if he is looking through you. Around his neck is his weapon (A Morning Star). He has no armor on his body ecept for a couple of wide leather belts crossing his chest. on his back there's a large metal shield and a long sword. But on his frount hooves are what look kike mitheral rings.
As he approches the new Weimic, he extends his hand (with his palms open), "I'm called Flat-top, I'm a fighter of Domi, OH! yes, you know him better as Tomi. Your name in Kah is it? are you a cleric? Or a druid? Or Ranger? but welcome any way, where are you going to any way?"
Kah Wednesday April 30th, 2003 10:21:01 AM
Kah responds to Taric "On a night of great visions, the great finger of Tomi pointed to me and guided me on my path, which lead me here today."
To Flat-top he responds "It is still strange to me that we can meet without bloodshed, horned warrior, but the great spirit wishes this so. It is a good thing for a warrior to hold Tomi in his heart. I am a hunter and tracker, and also offer prayers to the great spirits of the world. Unlike you, I have no single spirit to which I devote myself, though as a hunter, Tomi and Gargul are close to me."
"I am glad for your welcome, Flat-top. The spirits have guided me to this place today, though what will come tommorow I do not know."
Brahmah Wednesday April 30th, 2003 2:40:28 PM
Hearing the words of Kah, Brahmah lets both his hands slip from the hilts of his falchions.
"Greetings Kah and welcome. You speak bravely and honorful, something I can relate to. I am Brahmah, leader of the Chosen. Clearly Domi has shown you the way to us, thus I welcome you in our midst."
Kenisha d20+3=4 Wednesday April 30th, 2003 4:31:58 PM
Kenisha (a very pregnant female centaur) nods her head to the new Taur and greets him in his own tongue, "Well met Kah. I am called Kenisha. Imod is wise indeed, for we have need of a tracker this day." She points to Ironarm and adds, "We suspect that Ironarm's son and a few other centaurs have run afoul of evil Taurs out here in the woods."
Ceira Wednesday April 30th, 2003 4:53:15 PM
A lightweight and slender female wemic with a crossbow strapped to her back emerges from the crowd. She sports dark brown fur and does not have any special features that make her standout from a common wemic. However, those you are well versed in the arcane arts will notice a couple of spell components peeking out of her spell pouch.
"Ooo... a fellow wemic. Hello Kah!" says Ceira in a lighthearted tone. "My name is Ceira Karwyn. Did you wander here from Wemic Isle? I am from the tiny village of Menka. Perhaps you've heard of it?"
Ceira spots movement from the Wolfmaster's direction and moves over to investigate. She draws her bow and yells out, "Move out to where I can see you or else your thigh is going to be hurting from my bolt!"
Kanchana Wednesday April 30th, 2003 5:50:41 PM
Kanchana glances over at the prisoner when Ceira calls out her warning to him. "Well should we inform Kah about the prisoner? He certainly must be at least a little curious about our 'guest'," Kanchana states in low tones. She waits patiently for an answer from one or more of the others. Standing off to the side of the knot of Chosen is Kanchana a female wemic (liontaur) with pale golden-brown fur. Her skin is tanned and her long hair is pale gold-brown with russet highlights. Kanchana keeps her hair braided into several plaits of varying thicknesses. Also braided into her hair are a variety of feathers, bits of carved bone, shells, beads, small crystals and leather thongs. Her thick, lustrous hair reaches to her lower back when braided. By way of clothing she wears a buckskin bodice decorated with small stylized bone-carvings of nature spirits and at least one symbol of Domi(a small carved wooden shield inlayed with the hammer and anvil of Domi and carved stylized vines entwining the edges), and there are also geometric designs in beadwork in dark natural colors on the hems of her bodice. Kanchana wears a belt with many pouches hanging from it, including her totem bag and spell component pouch. Looking back in Kah's direction she says in a friendly tone "welcome Kah, I am Kanchana, warden of the Natural Order and self-appointed healer." She grins and nods her head briefly by way of greeting to Kah.
Managram(Ceil) Wednesday April 30th, 2003 6:38:19 PM
the dog rounding around Leet's legs, stops and eyes the new commer. Being a dog and seeing a Half human/Halfcat stops in frount of Kah, sniffs the taur, then sits and gives him his paw.
Kale Wednesday April 30th, 2003 7:17:58 PM
with a small frown on his face, Kale draws his swords. without saying anything to the newcomer, he walks over to the tree that the Wolfmaster is tied to and sees what he's up to.
Still talking(dm sam) Wednesday April 30th, 2003 7:20:43 PM
as the others continue their talking, Ceira yells at Wolfmaster at the same time as Kale walks over. though he doesnt respond to Ceira's challenge, he smiles at Kale when he appears and says "Im just waiting." he says with a smug look on his face
Taric Thursday May 1st, 2003 12:06:05 AM
At the shout of Ceira, Taric turns around to take a look at the wolfmaster, but seeing Kale closeby Taric shrugs and continues to follow the discussion with the newcomer.
Taric look rather small for a MinoTaur. He wears a brown robe instead of showing of muscle like most MinoTaurs. A darkbrown cloak flutters behind him. He doesn't look impressive physically, but his eyes seems to sparkle with some inner energy.
Brahmah Thursday May 1st, 2003 12:12:02 AM
Brahmah hears the shout of Ceira and turns to face the wolfmaster, his hands drawing both his scimitars halfway out of their sheaths before he realizes Kale is right next to the prisoner.
"Everything alright over there Kale?!" he asks loudly. "Make sure he is not up to any tricks!"
If Kale confirms the situation is alright Brahmah will tell Kale to watch him closely.
If Kale tells him something is wrong, Brahmah takes a few big strides over to the prisoner and checks out to see what is going on.
Kah Thursday May 1st, 2003 8:19:45 AM
At Brahmah's words of welcome, Kah nods and says "My Thanks to you for your welcome, Chosen Leader."
Kah smiles when he hears the female centaur speak in his own language. "I am glad of this meeting, Kenisha many tongued future-mother."
At Ceira's questions he responds with "Greetings to you Ceira. I have. This name is unknown to me."
Kah's eyes follow Ceira's bow aim to the prisoner, but he makes no comment.
At Kanchana's words and appearance, Kah becomes visibly more relaxed and returns the grin "I am glad of your welcome Warden Kanchana"
Kah smiles and crouches down to take the dog paw, ruffling his head at the same time.
He then stands and speaks further to Kenisha. "More words are needed if we are to find these young ones. How many paws are they? How much time has gone past since you last watched them?"
Flat-top Thursday May 1st, 2003 8:56:02 AM
"Where you see the Prisoner is where he and Two other Minotaurs, attacked us. Along with Zombies Wolves. There was about twenty to twent-five of these Zombies. Acording to their plan, We were to be killed and Kenisha and her fold were to be kept alive and sacrifice later.
We have search for tracks, but we think they were erased. They came this way because we found this bow string(holding the string up for Kah to see) How many Colts they were, Ironarm can answer that better than I."
I know he knows something, because first he tried to kill us, then turn against each other, now confuse us. Just look at him with that Knowing smerk on his bullish face." Said Flat-top as he look back to the Wolfmaster with blood in his eyes.
Ceira d20+4=20 d20+1=11 Thursday May 1st, 2003 11:08:01 AM
"What exactly are you waiting for Mr. Wolfmaster?" asks Ceira. Worried about his air of confidence, she scans the forest for any unusual activity (Spot=20, Listen=11). She will keep her crossbow aimed at him but moves back to her friends. "So Kah, while trekking through this forest, have you come across any unusual centaurs or minotaurs? We need some more clues."
Kanchana Thursday May 1st, 2003 1:02:52 PM
"I suggest we move on. We have been standing around here for too long already." Kanchana looks out at the forest, "I volunteer to help guard the prisoner on our trek. Maybe Kah can help Kale track Ironarm's son?"
Kenisha Thursday May 1st, 2003 5:48:53 PM
Kenisha smiles at Kah, "They disappeared yesterday during an attack on the village. They have hooves like me, not paws, as to how many there were... I can't recall what Ironarm said. Ironarm? How many were with your son?"
Taric Friday May 2nd, 2003 12:48:42 AM
Taric nods at the mention of the time.
"Maybe if we follow the route from the village to the battle-site and continue that way. The attackers could have suspected somebody would follow the young centaurs and only know where to attack us if they knew we would be following, thus my best guess would be to continue the way we went yesterday. Sooner or later, we're bound to find a track of some sorts."
Brahmah Friday May 2nd, 2003 12:52:37 AM
Brahmah nods at Taric's suggestion.
"Sounds fair enough. Probably our best bet right now. Anybody has other suggestions."
Turning towards the wolfmaster he says: "Kale and Ceira. Keep an eye on the wolfmaster. If he blinks the wrong way, make sure he regrets it."
Brahmah waits for other suggestions. If none come forward he will lead the Chosen to continue the way they did yesterday.
Kah d20+10=28 Friday May 2nd, 2003 7:14:08 AM
Kah agrees with the plan, and follows behind Brahmah, getting a sense of their destination and going over the details he was given about their quarry. He will search the area for tracks and attempt to pick up the trail. (Wilderness Lore check to track = 28). If he finds any indications, he will point out the direction he thinks they go in to Brahmah. If he finds nothing, he will follow Brahmah's lead.
Kale Friday May 2nd, 2003 9:13:17 AM
"Sounds good to me." Kale says as he unties the rope from the tree and grabs it with his hand. "Lets go you." he says to the Wolfmaster
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
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

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

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

Flat-top d20+11=27 d20+10=13 d20+10=27 d8+4=12 d4+5=9 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 6:57:25 AM
Flat-top fight a ghoul closest to him, he swings his morning Star across the head and hit the ghoul with his hooves. then turns to see if there was any more work to be done.
ooc: Morning Star to hit AC 27 - Damage 12, Hooves to hit ac 13(miss)& 27 - Damages 0+9=9.
Kale(AC19) d20+6=9 d20+6=25 d10+5=15 Wednesday May 14th, 2003 7:03:53 AM

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!
Kale d20+6=23 d20+6=22 d10+5=12 d10+5=14 Saturday May 24th, 2003 9:47:27 AM
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.
"Here We Go Again!:{Adm Ceil} d20+3=12 d8+3=7 d20+4=21 d20+4=17 d20+4=23 d20+4=19 2d6(5+6)+7=18 2d6(3+1)+7=11 2d6(3+3)+7=13 2d6(1+4)+7=12 Monday May 26th, 2003 1:48:04 PM
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. . .

Kenisha will move up to her 50 ft move along the right side so that she's got a clear shot at the hydra without hitting anyone else then let loose with a Lightning Bolt for (23 HP of damage with a DC 17 to REflex save for 1/2)
Kanchana d20+5=19 d8=6 Tuesday May 27th, 2003 12:46:00 AM

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

Taric d20+5=20 2d6(6+1)=7 Tuesday May 27th, 2003 12:53:49 AM
Taric shoots again at the monstrosity and reloads his crossbow again.
OOC: hits AC 20 for 7 damage.
Leets d20+3=22 2d6(1+4)+6=11 Tuesday May 27th, 2003 3:20:35 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...
OOC: Charisma roll 22, then 11 for the turn undead.

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??
OH! By the way there's only 4 snakes left. Your turn.

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
slashing at the head that attacked him(hit ac and 15 for 12 and 7 dm), Kale mutters to himself "I hope its dead, I cant take much more."
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)
Ceira d4+1=5 d4+1=5 d4+1=2 Wednesday May 28th, 2003 4:07:14 PM
(OOC: Ceira was temporarily stunned by sheer size of the monstrosity for the past 3 rounds. ^_^)
Ceira unleashes three Magic Missles at one of the injured heads for 12 damage.

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."

Flat-Top d20+10=19 d20+5=23 d4+7=11 d4+7=11 Thursday May 29th, 2003 5:03:26 AM
Flat-top Charges again and stomps on the head. Returning to stand by and puting an arm around Brahmah's shoulders and ask him "Is it soup yet?"
ooc: Hooves attack hit Ac18 and Ac23 Damages to skull 11hp+11hp=22hp.
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.
An ill wind
Trouble(dm sam) Saturday June 7th, 2003 9:47:49 AM
Brahmah's sarcasim being lost on him, Startail clears his throat, looks at Flat-Top, and says "We are going to war, so to speak. Since you could not keep an eye on the minotaurs, we will now have to hunt them down. It turns out that the Council had no knowelge of them being on the island, therefore that makes them here illegially and subject to banishment. Apperantly they are also the cause of all the grave robbing thats been going on, and thats punishable by death." his next words bring a smile to his face. "With your group's reputation, I expected better than just saving a couple of colts. I guess the 'Chosen' are not as powerful as everyone makes them out to be. Dont worry though," he says as he starts to leave, "We'll clean up your mess. Then we'll send their heads to the Minotaur ruling council and see what they think." then, as an afterthough, Startail says "Your job is done here. The Council orders that any non centaurs must leave the island in three days, no exceptions. The rest of you are welcome to say as long as you like." then Startail and his guard walk to the village's inn.
the others, after studying for a bit, realie that the scrolls contain spells on them that a wizard can cast(1st scroll - Blur, see invisibility, and knock at 3rd level, 2nd scroll - magic weapon and shield at 1st level, and 3rd scroll - enlarge and magic weapon at 1st level), but everything else will need alot more time(about a weeks worth) or identify spells cast on them to figure out what they are
Brahmah (dodge Startail) Saturday June 7th, 2003 5:41:22 PM
Before Startail leaves, Brahmah steps into the centaurs path. The smirk leaves the captain's face as he makes eye contact with Stasrtail to show that he IS NOT intimidated by him. "I will abide by your councils request to leave in three days, but as for the Chosen not being as 'powerful' as you thought... it doesn't matter what YOU think or believe anyway. Domi Chose us and not you. Domi looked into your heart and saw the hate consumed your common sense!"
He steps aside to let Startail pass. "You may go now, brother." As Startail leaves, Brahmah says one last thing. "You question our power, but it is not ours you're questioning, it is His! May Domi guide you." As Startail passes out of site, Brahmah turns back to the Chosen. "Idiot." "So...! whose up for some minoTaur rescue?! We have three days." The captain pauses thoughtfully. "Well, we have longer actually. We just can't get caught." He smiles dumbly.
"We need to send messages back to Hearthold Keep to let them know what is happening."
OOC: We have three days to find the Proudhorn and remove them from the island and remove ourselves too.
Ceira Saturday June 7th, 2003 6:35:19 PM
Ceira clenches her right fist and punches her left palm in frustration. "Arrogant little Centaur..." she grumbles to herself. "We'll show him who's powerful..." She goes back to take another good look at all of the scrolls and picks up the scroll with the Enlarge spell.
Flat-top Saturday June 7th, 2003 7:54:28 PM
Flat-top listen in anger, he turns to Brahmah "Of all The shave tailed offenders of a candy centers army. This crosseyed long nose Captain, thimks that saving three colts is nothing? To me it far out weighs, getting Proudhorn?? Those colts are the futur of his heard?" Flat-top now look ashamed "If your not welcome, then neither am I, I'm With you. When do we leave?"
Kanchana Sunday June 8th, 2003 3:13:46 AM
Kanchana sighs and then says in a bored sounding voice, "ok, I have heard enough braying from that one to last for awhile. Has he always been such an ass?" Looking to Brahmah she declares, "I will assist you in finding this Proudhorn in any way that I can. I am certain that Mother Wold will gladly share her bounty with us as long as we need it to finish our task here." Kanchana turns away and walks slowly back to the others while pondering the vast effort it will seem to take to achieve Father Tomi's dream.
Kenisha Sunday June 8th, 2003 11:41:24 PM
(back with the items being looked over)
Kenisha nods, "Well the scrolls will be useful, but we need some pearls to identify the other items. Pretty much what I thought."
Taric Monday June 9th, 2003 1:24:43 AM
Taric merely shakes his head as sadness boils up from deep within him, showing in a single tear dropping from his lefteye. He quickly wipes it away and follows the others, nodding when Brahmah tells them about the actions they have to take.
OOC: Taric would like the scroll with Blur, See Invisiblity and Knock if possible.
Departure(dm sam) Monday June 9th, 2003 10:35:18 PM
the next three days go by in a blur. though the Chosen look long and hard, they are unable to find any sigh of the missing minotaur group. even backtracking to the hydra's lair does nothing to help them locate Proudhorn and his group. a couple of time during their search the Chosen cross paths with Startail and his group. harsh words are exchanged, but each group is able to maintain their composure.
so now three days have passed and the Chosen find themselves at the docks of Westgate, preparing to board the same ship they arrived on.
Brahmah Tuesday June 10th, 2003 3:12:21 AM
"I'm not convinced that Startails group has authority to exile us from the island. I'm even less convinced that the centaur council arranged it!" The taur Captain has been enraged since last meeting Startails group in the forest. He's fuming at this point.
"Among us there are those of you who are centaur and call this island home, if you wish, you MAY stay. If you come...." The captain gets a look in his eyes no one has seen before.... or have they. It was defiance. Resolution. "No! We have a right to be here, Domi gives us the right. We must not tremble at the first sign of defeat. We are here to UNIFY the taurs, not be part of further hostilities!" "I wish to stay to resolve this contraversy. How and why did things get this bad so quickly?"
OOC: Chosen, remind me, why were we here on the centaur isle in the first place? I'm slightly confused on this part of the mission.
Leets Tuesday June 10th, 2003 5:17:06 AM
"We are getting in new troubles if I get it well Captain?"
Says Leets smiling to Brahmah.
"Of course we won't leave. We were sent here because there was this undead ...ehm...problem. But now, I'm sure followers of Marteaus are behind all this. Those are our true foe, and Proudhorn was wearing Domi's holy symbols. I'm sure he knows more we do about all this and we may lost more that an honorable Minotaur ally if he is sentenced to death. We must find them, are make Startail more...comprehensive."
Brahmah Tuesday June 10th, 2003 5:51:23 AM
Brahmah smiles at Leets.
"We DID run into the Startail group often in the forest, do you think they were following us? Distracting us and made our search harder? We will stay and look around more. Chosen, what say you?!"
Flat-top Tuesday June 10th, 2003 6:56:22 AM
Standing in a semi-circle (having an informal meeting)"Hmm! Your right Leets, we were invited by the Counsil and I must say that Startail was the bearer of the Invetation to come to Center Island?" Flat-top Look at the rest of the party, "Your Right Brahmah, our first duty is to Domi, after all Domi want to unite all the Islands. You know I would love to find out if this IS the Will of the Counsil?? Alright, Captain where to first?" Flat-top has this smerk on his face.
Kanchana Tuesday June 10th, 2003 11:05:39 AM
Kanchana says in an even tone of voice, "why do we not just go straight to the Council? Just circumvent this Startail until we know what the Council's true will is in this matter. Surely they can be made to see reason?" Kanchana says in an even tone of voice. "Of course those of us whom they may not want on this isle could stay here and we just send the Centaurs to the Council."
Kenisha Tuesday June 10th, 2003 5:11:39 PM
Kenisha nods at what everyone has been saying. "Things are strange and I for one don't like it one bit." Her right side bulges for a moment and she lets out a loud "Uuumph!" After she gets her breath back she adds,"Neither does junior it seems. I hate to say it, but it might be best if I'm one of the ones to go to the Council. One- they know me and Two- if junior here decides to come early, it would be best if it happened closer to a midwife than out in the forest."
Kale Tuesday June 10th, 2003 9:38:53 PM
"I agree with Kachanga and Kenisha. If Startail's words are true, then we could possibly have the whole island looking for us. That certainly wouldnt bring unity to the taur races." Kale says as he looks to the ship. its clear he's eager to be home. "Besides, you cant win every battle."
Leaving or going?(dm sam) Tuesday June 10th, 2003 9:41:21 PM
as the Chosen stand around the dock, deciding what to do, the captain of the ship yells down to them "We leave in three hours. If you need to do something, its best that you do it quickly!"
Taric Wednesday June 11th, 2003 12:56:56 AM
Taric nods in agreement with everything that's said. The strange feeling he had since leaving the cave has only grown stronger.
"I will go wherever you go Brahmah. Wherever Domi wants us Chosen to go."
Brahmah Wednesday June 11th, 2003 1:14:10 AM
"To the council then Chosen. You heard the man, three hours 'til they leave without us." He tromps off towards the council halls. "Let's move Chosen. Kenisha, maybe you should help with negotiations."
Flat-top Wednesday June 11th, 2003 5:24:31 AM
"I'm Ready, Lets go." Flat-top Falls in line, But gives Kenisha the last three apples he has left, "Vitamin A for the colt." He tells her.
Leets Wednesday June 11th, 2003 10:15:08 AM
"We'd better do quickly...I feel like our bother servants of Domi are endangered, and I don't like it. It just smells like Marteau's plan to divide the Taur people..."
Following the others to the council, Leets adds:
"The council always was wise enough to hear the Chosen voices...I hope they won't fail us this time."
Ceira Wednesday June 11th, 2003 11:47:06 AM
"Brahmah is right to make this decision" comments Ceira. "A lot can happen in three hours. And we might miss it all if we got on the boat now. Let's go to the Council!"
Kenisha Wednesday June 11th, 2003 12:51:16 PM
Kenisha nods to Brahmah, "I shall do the best I can."
She smiles as Flat-top hands her the apples. "Thank you. I'm probably going to need them."
Kanchana Wednesday June 11th, 2003 2:18:08 PM
Kanchana waits a moment before saying "do we leave anyone here or do we all go to speak with the Council?" If it seems that everyone should go to speak with the Council Kanchana will follow the others there, otherwise she will wait for their return to the docks.
Brahmah Wednesday June 11th, 2003 5:07:31 PM
"I see your point Kanchana, but I think power shows in numbers. We must show Domi's will and courage. Kanchana, please come with us and make your first official appearance at council as our new Chosen. If we feel our time running short, then we can send a runner back to the ship to tell them to leave or stay."
Kale Wednesday June 11th, 2003 11:50:28 PM
"Im staying here." Kale says to the others as they leave. "Im not for standing in front of the council."
End of the Road(dm sam) Wednesday June 11th, 2003 11:58:27 PM
full of dertimination, the Chosen march through the city, searching for where the council meets. it doesnt take long for them to find them. in fact, a group of guards finds them and tells the group that they are to come to the council house immediatly. once there, the Chosen find out that Startail's words are true : the Centaur Council has ordered the Chosen off the Island! all cries of protest fall upon deaf ears, and the council orders the Chosen to return to their ship with an escort of guards. no less than 30 armed and armored guards 'accompany' the Chosen back to the ship that Kale stayed behind at.
(OOC, sorry to pust thinks ahead so fast, but the next module starts monday. i hope you guys are ready, cause things are going to get hot and heavy really quick)
Brahmah Thursday June 12th, 2003 3:39:58 AM
Brahmah stands up to the guards regardless of number that 'accompany' the Chosen. "Thirty one guards, I'm insulted! That's all that you could spare!?" As he moves along, Brahmah is highly upset and has his hand gripping a Falchion the whole trip back to the ship. He never gets angry enough to draw his weapon regardless of the taunts from the guards or Startail. "People of Centaur Isle, the Chosen of Domi have been EXILED from your island. The Chosen WILL return to this blessed isle!" He makes a HUGE scene leaving for the ship.
Brahmah (repeating over and over) Thursday June 12th, 2003 3:44:30 AM
"People of Centaur Isle, the Chosen of Domi have been EXILED from your island. The Chosen WILL return to this blessed isle!"
"People of Centaur Isle, the Chosen of Domi have been EXILED from your island. The Chosen WILL return to this blessed isle!"
"People of Centaur Isle, the Chosen of Domi have been EXILED from your island. The Chosen WILL return to this blessed isle!"
Flat-top Thursday June 12th, 2003 5:36:47 AM
Flat-top feel ashame of what the Counsel has done, "Well! Imagin that, ordered of Centaur Island, with out telling us why? WHY?? Is all I want to know. Now I'll go with my brothers and sisters, BUT I'll remember this when you ask for help again. We'll be leaving all of you with your dark thoughts."
Flat-top turn and take his spot in the marching line with out any sign of respect. "I feel that there's something amiss here. Leets can you sence it? They never ask about aid for Kenisha and our new Chosen Kanchana, I'ts not like them." he wonders as they approch the ship.
Flat-top is in a foul mood as he passes Kale, mumbles "Don't ask!"
Leets Thursday June 12th, 2003 1:55:26 PM
"It is a day of great shame for the whole Centaur people my friends, and as the son of a Centaur Stallion, I can only apologize..."
Leets seems very dark and worried, and listens carefully at his friend Flat-Top.
"You don't need to be cleric to see that some dark force is at work around...There is something rotten in Centaur island, and I fear we'llhave to face it quite soon. Never had the council expelled the Chosen this way before, and I feel very sad about it."
"If they close their door at the Chosen quest, the next step will be war between our people..."
"It's useless to think of what could happen now - it's still time to act. Let's go and see what we can do on your land, friends Minotaurs..."
Ceira Thursday June 12th, 2003 3:21:50 PM
"Humph!" Ceira sticks her nose up in the air and stalks back to the ship with her friends. "I don't know if there's really anything wrong. Centaurs have always given me grief as I've grown up. We don't need them!"
She looks at Leets, Kenisha, and Flat-top. "You guys are the exception of course because Domi hand-picked you three. Hopefully, we will run into more of Domi's Chosen champions as we move on."
Kenisha Thursday June 12th, 2003 7:30:30 PM
Kenisha is visibly upset by their treatment by the council and won't allow any of the guards to touch her.
Upon hearing Ceira's words however she turns to her friend and berates her, "If you truly think like that then how can you ever expect them to change?! We can not force them to change, no one can. We have to be open to accept all Taurs in our own hearts before we can expect others to learn from our example."
With that she turns to the Centaurs (both guards and anyone who followed them to the ship) and pronounces, "I shall not step back on the isle of my birth until the day comes when my child, a true child of Domi, is welcomed here."
With an angry swish of her tail and tears in her eyes, she boards the ship and finds a comfortable spot out of sight of everyone.
Kenisha Thursday June 12th, 2003 7:36:08 PM
OOC: Just leaving a note that I'm going to be unable to log on from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. Going to my family reunion campout this year.
:)
Kale Thursday June 12th, 2003 7:37:21 PM
seeing the others return under heavy guard, Kale just shakes his head and waits for them upon the ship
Sailing Away(dm sam) Thursday June 12th, 2003 7:40:45 PM
as the Chosen board their ship, a small crown gathers on the dock. some of them seem to have been moved by some of the Chosen's proclomations and begin cheering for them, while others boo the taurs and begin to bicker with those that are cheering for them. as the ship sails off, the guards that were escorting the Chosen are now needed to stop an impending riot!
Brahmah Thursday June 12th, 2003 10:34:28 PM
The captain shouts over the water to the crowd that is starting the riot. "PEOPLE OF CENTAUR ISLE, WE WILL RETURN, DO NOT WORRY. DON'T FIGHT, LEAVE FOR YOUR HOMES AND WAIT FOR OUR RETURN! STAY ALIVE AND GREET US ONCE AGAIN."
He walks around to find Kenisha to see how she may be feeling. He passes Ceira ands hands her a nice shiny red apple.
Kanchana Friday June 13th, 2003 12:08:09 AM
Kanchana goes immediately to the middle of the deck upon boarding the ship. True to form she does not really care for sailing. With a heavy heart she will meditate upon what she has seen and experienced. Kanchana offers up a little prayer to Domi for the wellbeing of the people of Centaur Island.
Taric Friday June 13th, 2003 1:19:03 AM
Taric falls silent at the decision of the council. He falls quietly in line along with the other Chosen.
Once aboard the ship he gazes out onto the water. After a while he takes out a piece of paper and a pencil and starts drawing the scenery in front of him. Slolwy he starts to relax a bit, but it's obvious he's still tense and the look in his eyes tell of the sadness living inside of him.
Flat-top d20=12 Friday June 13th, 2003 7:19:50 AM
Flat-top boards the ship and goes to the treasure they return with, picking up the Quail fearther. Approches Kanchana and show her the feather "Here I would like you to put this feather in you're beautiful hair. to remind you the your one of the Chosen. May I put the feather amost next to your ear?"
ooc: Flat-top being shy, uses all the charisma he can muster (which is 12)
Ceira Friday June 13th, 2003 11:53:21 AM
A cloud of gloom hovers over Ceira (metaphorically) upon hearing Kenisha's words. "You're right. I'm trying my best to fight these feelings of ill-will. But seeing stuff like this only tends to fuel the fire the burns from within. But fret not! Though I may voice my strong opinions, I won't hesitate to save a centaur's life either. It is Domi who gives me this inner strength to act against decisions based on bad moral judgement."
"Now if you'll excuse me." Ceira takes a moment to dig through her backpack to pull out two plastic barf bags and a rope. She ties herself to the main mast and clings on. "Ready!" she cries sheepishly. "Goodness, I need to get used to this boat thing since it's our only means of travel to Hearthold Keep."
Leets Friday June 13th, 2003 12:16:05 PM
Leets sadly glances at the crowd at the dock as the ship begin to sail away.
"We shall not abandon you, brother Taurs! May Domi protect you while we are away! He will never forget you, and neither will his Chosen!"
Leets finally cast -bless- on the crowd, and walks to Taric as the ship goes further.
"So, my friend, we didn't have much time to talk since we met...What are you drawing? I once had a wemic friend who was quite good at this..."
Safe voyages(dm sam) Friday June 13th, 2003 8:04:11 PM
they journey home is uneventful, with the sea being unusually calm. as they arrive home, everyone feels the burden of what happened on Centaur Island, and what may come of it.(start next module on monday)
Taric Saturday June 14th, 2003 2:25:29 AM
Taric looks up at Leets, the sad look still in his eyes. He seems to have calmed down though, although nobody has the emotions raging through him when they left the island.
Taric shows Leets what he has been drawing. A sketch of the view from the ship while they were sailing away from it. It's clear from the black and white drawing it was drawn by an experienced hand.
"This keeps my mind of things. It also helps me to stay focused. Usually at the turn of events unfolding I feel the urge to draw something."
Brahmah Saturday June 14th, 2003 6:19:56 AM
Brahmah paces the deck of the ship most of the trip, brooding, and quiet. He doesn't say much to the crew or the Chosen, except for very brief and very abrupt(but not rude), answers. When he's not pacing, he's looking over the water toward the Centaur Isle... or even at the stars.
Kanchana Saturday June 14th, 2003 8:22:32 AM
Kanchana looks over at Flat-top and smiles warmly. As she sits down near the mast of the ship she says, "I would like that very much. Please join me, choose which ever braid you like." After a brief silence she says, "it is good to have company at times like these. I do not care much for sailing."
Flat-top Saturday June 14th, 2003 9:26:31 AM
Flat-top pich a braid closest to her earand weaves the feather inbher hair. There it look beautiful on you, you know I knew the first time we met you that Some how Domi had chosen you. Don't ask me how I knew of this, but you had the look in your eyes. I want to welcome you to the family of The Chosens."
Then Flat-top turn his eyes toward the Center Island, "I don't know what went on back there, But I have a feeling that we'll soon find out back home at the Keep. OH! Yes! you'll have your own room and I cannot wait to show you the garden with the waterfall with the fish pool. thats where the wild animals come for a drink."
But flat-top still gazes with sad eyes, at the horazon where Center Ilse should be.
Leets Sunday June 15th, 2003 2:14:45 PM
Leets gives back his drawing to Taric, and smiles as Managarm comes to play with the paladin.
"I know what you mean, it's strange to explain, but often while praying, my mind focuses on the current troubles, and it helps me..."
"You know Taric, you have not been among us for a long time, and what we have just experienced - I mean the death of the colts as well as the council's reaction - is really one of the darkest part of the Chosen common history..."
"You'll soon see that we have our good times, and our bad times...I'm sorry you arrived in the middle of such a situation. Just know you're welcome among us: if Domi led you to us, you'll certainly be of great help!"
The centaur paladin then walks away, his hooves making quite a lot of noise on the deck of the ship. He will share some time with his dog before arriving...
Kenisha Sunday June 15th, 2003 11:49:57 PM
About halfway through the trip back to Hearthold, Kenisha gets up and carefully moves over to where Ceira has secured herself for the trip.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you back there. As my baby's time gets closer I find my emotions rising and falling just like these waves out here on the ocean." Kenisha apologizes to her friend. "And the way we were treated back there certainly didn't help my mood."
