Shiraz Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 8:41:41 AM
Shiraz laughs at Savin's comment and takes the offered meal, "Very nice," the taur murmurs as he inhales the bread bowl of stew, "Excellent meal Savin." The taur says as he contentedly stretches out, "wake me at my watch guys I am exhausted."
Dinner Time (DM Stephen) d100=8 d6=1 d100=67 d6=3 d100=76 d6=3 Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 10:10:28 AM
You all have a good meal. You all feel your energy return with rest and a full stomach. Its turning dark and the party needs to prepare of the night.
Sayra doesnt eat. Her body hasnt consumed normal food in more than a century. However she has cravings stirring within her. A craving that repulses her. However, she fights it off successfully. She appears only a little nervious (jittery) to the others. Much like withdrawal symptoms. She may have a strong control over the vampire, but she senses that she is still subject to the demands of her altered body.
(Need to set up a watch schedule. Party's Initiative.)
Peerimus and Yorrick Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 1:24:34 PM
Peerimus notes Sayra's edge and makes a mental note of it. No need to press the issue at this point he thinks. "As I need a full 8 hours I would like to take the first watch. this way during my morning meditations I will be able to fully regain my spells."
If all are in agreement Peerimus takes watch as teh others get comfortable. Casting Speak with animals he will update Luke, Yorrick, Pryte, Shadow and Radiant in thier own languages about what the status is of the group in regards to the mission. He will then cast Detect plants and Animals and spend 3 rounds at each quarter circle area of effect concentrating for wolves then Assassin Vines then birds then Sayra's tree(I believe it was oak)[spell range 680 duration 7 minutes]
Sly Foxx and Luke Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 4:06:56 PM
Sly will sleep lightly and keep an eye on Sayra restlessness, he knows very well trace will awaken him when it is hes turn. "Luke your snouring." then tries to go back to sleep again.
Luke sleeps on ZZZzzz!.
Savin d20+11=20 d20+11=19 d20+8=13 Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 11:50:43 PM
Savin will quickly clean up after dinner and volunteer for the first watch. He will sit with his back against a tree and spread out his legs and start stretching. Feeling some kinks from the previous battle, Savin will center his mind and start curing his wounds. He will then get up and move away from the fire and slip into some shadows and try to find a place to hide but keep both an eye and an ear on the camp.
OOC first roll is for hiding, second roll was for listening, but should have only been at plus 10 for an 18 total. Third roll was a spot roll. Sorry but I am currently away from my books and don't remember how much I cure myself with wholeness of body feat.
Ilsidur Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 11:59:37 PM
Ilsidur takes the last watch, as he had planned. "Once more, I ask if anyone needs healing?"
Sir Thomas Thursday July 3rd, 2003 12:53:10 AM
Thomas volunteers for the last watch with Ilsidur. He too offers his ability to heal (20hp lay on hands). He then prays and hits the sack.
During his watch, Thomas keeps a closer eye on Sayra than on the surrounding environment. However, he does not neglect his responsiblity to protect the parimeter.
Shiraz AC 23 Hps 65/66 d20=7 d20=12 d20+1=14 Thursday July 3rd, 2003 8:57:37 AM
Shiraz sleeps until he is woken for the middle watch, carefully and quietly gathering close laying sticks and smaller logs lying within the light of the campfire Shiraz makes sure that the camp is safe. Searching the area for any trouble<DC 14> Shiraz makes note of any problems, however Shiraz doesnt seem to hear<DC 7> any noises as the typical forest noise overwelms him and causes his spot to falter a bit<DC 12>

Disturbance in the Night (DM Dominic) d3=3 Tuesday July 8th, 2003 7:05:03 AM
Peerimus as you are going through the process of checking the area with you rspell you don't find any wolves, assasin vines or Sayra's tree. You do notice the lack of any birds in the area.
During each of your watches you have the unshakeable feeling that there is someone or something watching you. This starts to make each of you nervous and edgy. Just after the halfway point in the last watch several twig blights charge into the camp.
*** party watch as I see it *** 1st - Peerimus and Savin 2nd - Shiraz and Sly Foxx 3rd - Sir Thomas and Ilsidur
(party initiative)
OOC: I am looking forward to DM'ing you all. I feel it will be a great new experience for me and will be hard to follow in Stephen's footsteps.

Savin hears the comotion and immediately comes awake. He bounds to his feet and prepares for combat. He will see who is coming under attack and attack any who come his way. If none come, he will go to the aid of the comrade who has the most coming attacker coming after them.
OoC rolled a 22 listen roll, attacks were 26 and 24, If I get damage I will do 8 and 9 points of damage.

Sly sleeps only about 4hrs (because he's half elf), he wakes gets up rolles his bed roll and whispers to Luke to go sleep with Yurric the bear. Sly will poke Shiraz the minotaur awake. then releive Trace, Peerimus and Savin,and takes his watch. uneventful but weird like someone is watching. Them the last watch comes on Sly makes Klah so they can stay awake. All of a sudden the party is being attack. Sky grabs his sword (always next to him) and swings downward, spind like a windmill, the swing again. Yelling "Were being Attack!"
OOC: first swing (critical hit)38, second swing 30 - Damages 13+15=38 (critical), 14 damage on second hit. Sky is with out his shield so his AC is now 57.
Ilsidur (AC24, hp 66/78) d20+12=28 d10+5=8 d6=4 Tuesday July 8th, 2003 11:23:21 PM
Ilsidur has been pacing around the camp, looking out for trouble. As he spots the twig blights charging into the camp, he calls out, "Everybody up! Twig blights are attacking!" He calls flame onto his waraxe, and heads for the nearest blight swinging the burning axehead as he advances. He swings his axe at the nearest blight [OOC: Hit AC 28 for 8 hp damage plus an extra 4 hp fire damage.]
Shiraz AC 23 Hps 65/66 Wednesday July 9th, 2003 9:16:23 AM
Shiraz jumps to his feet still in his armor and quickly draws both of his swords,"What..Where?" the minotaur asks with a puzzled look on his face. Shiraz sets his feet as he prepares for combat and awaits the charge of blights.

Thomas moves to attack the incoming blights. He tries to draw as much of their attention as possible so that his friends can stir and join him when they awake.
[OOC: Thomas intentionally steps into the line of charge of the blights if it is possible to do so.]
Thomas strikes out at the charging enemies.
(Rolled 1 + 13 = 14 and 1 + 8 = 9; rolled 5 + 5 and 10 + 5 = 10 and 15 dmg if these abismal attack rolls hit)

Charging into the camp is 10 Twig Blights. As they enter the camp they split off into groups. One group of 3 attacks Peerimus, another group of 2 attacks Sly Foxx, a group of 2 attacks Trace and the final 2 attack Ilsidur.
Savin moves over to near Peerimus and strikes one of the twig blights attacking Peerimus dropping it.
Sly lashes out at the 2 attacking him neatly dropping the first one but the second one remains in the fight. Luke leaps at the standing twig blight biting down hard on it finishing it off.
Ilsidur swings at one of the twig blights attacking him and leaves a burning gash across it.
Shiraz sees that the twig blights attacking Ilsidur are just out of his reach.
Peerimus swings but fails to connect with any of the twig blights. Yorrick rears up and swipes at one of the twig blights leaving a large gash in the twig blight.
Sir Thomas steps in to the line of the charge and misses the twig blights when they come near him.
One of the twig blights on Peerimus turns and strikes at Savin missing him with both attacks. The last one attacking Peerimus swings hitting Peerimus (dmg 4, Fort Save DC 13 or -2 STR.)
The 2 attacking Ilsidur attack with only one hitting him (dmg 5, Fort Save DC13 or -2 STR.)
Trace is attacked by 2 twig blights. One of the Twig blights hits (criticle hit dmg 7, Fort Save DC 13 or -2 STR.) Second one hits (dmg 6, Fort Save DC 13 or -2 STR.)

Sly bobs and weaves, then goes into his windmile attack again, Not wanting to use the magic in his sword will not call upon the Fire magic in the sword. Hits the blight (hit AC30 - Damage 10), spins and this time puts his full weight behind his scond swing( critical hit AC33 - Damage 14+11=25). Turns to face the blight (if still standing).
Luke Still chewing on the blight.
Savin AC 21 hps 62 d20+5=19 d20+5=25 d8+8=9 d8+5=13 Thursday July 10th, 2003 9:34:33 AM
Savin dances away from the first attack and launches into one of his own. As he attacks, a thought strays across his mind, "I wish I had some kamas. They would be perfect for these creatures. Well it is time to put this creature down."
OOC Savin uses his power attack feat taking 5 off his base attacks and putting them on damage. Total damage 22

Shiraz takes a five foot step to the dwarven cleric and places himself between the Blights and his comrade,"With Imod watching blast you spawn of evil!" Shiraz shouts as he launches his attacks on the Blights. Shiraz swings his swords around forcefully as if driven with some inner compulsion. Hitting AC 25 with his massive right hand the taur bites deeply into the wooden flesh of the blight for 15 points of damage. Striking quickly with a fast left hand Shiraz hits AC 23 for another 12 points of damage. "Take that you murderous plants." Shiraz swings once again with his right hand and slips a bit on the moist grass striking AC 18 Shiraz manages to gain some footing as he dishes out 11 points of damage. Taking advantage of hopefully dropping the Blkight he was on Shiraz quickly cleaves to the nearest opponet hitting AC 25 for 14 points of damage.

The Twig Blight catches his leg lightly and the poison has no effect. [16+9=25] Not being much of a combatant, Peerimus merely swings as quickly as he can with his club, [13+7=20 AC 3+2=5 Dmg] poking the creature in the chest. Yorrick moves in on the creature with devastating impact [Claw 5+13=18 AC Claw 3+13=16 AC Bite 11+6=17AC Dmg 8+10=18 Dmg 8+10=18 Dmg 7+4=11] and lets out a mighty challengin bellow to the other Blights as he turns looking for more targets.

Trace is attacked by two twigs and is scratched up a bit but basicly unaffected by the attack (made save with 20 and 14).
Trace with swords drawn moves to strike back at the first of two twigs, Swinging with blinging speed he makes contact only once with the first twig. The twig is able to dodge the fist two but was caught off guard with the finnal swing as his catches him solid (crit. hit 18hps with an additional 6hps frost damage.)

[OOC: I'm not sure about the rules on this, but don't I get attacks of opportunity on every enemy that runs past me? I know my two normal attacks missed, but that is different than AoO, correct?]
Thomas moves to attack the nearest blight that is still standing.
[OOC: Still struggling on the rolls. Anyone have a different set of dice they could loan me? Or maybe a different computer generatore ... this one dislikes me. ;-)]

Ilsidur easily shakes of the twig blight's poison [OOC: Fortitude save of 25], and gets ready to attack. Suddenly, Shiraz forces his way between the dwarf and his foes, beating at the blights. Ilsidur calls out, "Shiraz, I appreciate the help, but I can take care of myself. Next time, I suggest you move around to flank my foes, rather than pushing your way between us." Uncertain which blights are still standing, Ilsidur looks around. If there are any still-existing blights, he will move to attack, swinging his burning waraxe. [OOC: Hit AC24 for 12 points of damage, plus 1 point of fire damage.]
Blights attack - rd 2 (DM Dominic) d20+5=19 d20+5=23 d4+2=6 d4+2=4 Friday July 11th, 2003 10:56:22 AM
Sly Foxx moves over and attacks the blight nearest him (one attacking Savin)hitting it with both attacks just as Savin connects with his attacks destroying the Blight utterly. Shiraz quickly defeats the first blight he attacks with the first three attacks. The second blight takes a pounding from the last attack but remains standing. Peerimus and Yorrick combine thier attacks and destroy the last blight attacking Peerimus. Trace last swing connects and drops one of the blights attacking him. Sir Thomas moves over to attack the last one attacking Trace missing with both attacks. Ilsidur steps around to the side of the blight that is remaining from the ones that attacked him putting a large gouge in it as it dies.
The last blight hitts Trace with both attacks (dmg 10, make 2 Fort Save DC 13 or -2 STR.)
OOC: AoO you get 1 AoO per round if you have enemies move through your area. If you have combat reflexes (feat) you get upto your Dex mod in additional AoO. With only one AoO per enemy.

Yorrick spies the Blight on Trace and Charges it a great paw connecting with a glancing blow. [hit AC 27 for 11 dmg]
Peerimus moves to try and flank the creature for the others and cross swings waist high and level to put the abomination down. [hit ac 15 for 8 dmg]

Trace is hit yet again by the twig. He shakes off the poison (made dc22). The fact that the twig will not give up and is trying to take his life Trace goes into a fit of rage. He spins twirling an cutting with his swords. He somehow catches the twig flat footed. His firts swing kills the twig instantly as wood flies into the air (hit ac30 crit 22dmg 4frost dmg). Even knowing that the twig is dead finishes his manuver for the simple satisfaction to show whatever creature that may be watching how attacking them they will be destroyed. (hit ac 27 8dmg) (2nd att. hit ac20 for 8dmg 2 frost dmg.) Trace returns his swords and sits down to tend to his wounds. Pointing to the gash on his arm, "Can anyone heal this? It is not poisioned but I am looseing alot of blood."
(ooc: why couldnt I get roles like that with a dragon? total hps to that twig was 44 hps dmg.)
Sly Foxx and Luke Sunday July 13th, 2003 8:26:15 AM
After finishing his own Twigs, he look around to see if every one is all right. Seeing that Trace is hurt, Sly will go into his back pack, takeing out a roll of line. Goes over to trace and Ilsidur, " I don't have any more cure poison but I do have a roll of bandage, will that help?"
Luke is out helping kill Yurric dead twigs.
Sir Thomas hp 66 ac 18; Pryte-Honos hp 41 AC 14 d20=18 d20=3 d20=5 Monday July 14th, 2003 12:20:54 AM
Thomas offers Trace the requested healing (10 hp lay on hands)
He then goes about searching the perimeter to see if more enemies lie in wait.
Assuming he discovers nothing lurking and thinks all is clear for the moment he announces, "Well, while we're all up we may as well move out. We can eat on the way. I have trail mix ... I think." Thomas collects his things and looks in his backpack for the food he thinks should be in there.
Shiraz AC 23 Hps 65/66 Monday July 14th, 2003 7:48:14 AM
Shiraz flicks the sap off of his swords and clean the blades before turning to Ilsidur,"I stepped between because thats what I do. I fight so that you might heal others." Shiraz says this flatly without anger but with firmness.
Savin d20+9=23 Monday July 14th, 2003 8:21:12 AM
Upon hearing Trace's request, Savin will go over and bind his wounds. "Sorry I don't have any magic but my masters taught me the healing arts at the monastary. I can make you a tonic from some tree bark that will help with the pain. I have to admit it tastes horrible but the pain does ease."
After helping Trace out, Savin will head over and have some trail mix. "Proper nutrition is very important in keeping your fighting trim." the monk says to no on in particular.
OOC made healing check of 23
Peerimus [AC 20 HP50 Endure Fire] and Yorrick [AC17 HP51 Greater Magic Fang Claw] Monday July 14th, 2003 11:04:03 AM
As Sir Thomas has taken care of Trace, Peerimus looks about and starts to gather the destroyed Bilghts. Taking the bundles one at a time and dropping them onto the fire. Yorrick picks up on the idea and starts moving sticks to the fire as well. "Sir Thomas, I agree, but at day break we will need to stop for an hour. I have some rations as well so we can generally eat and move on." Peerimus will then assist with breaking camp
Cleaning up and Moving on (DM Dominic) Monday July 14th, 2003 5:29:31 PM
Trace's wounds get cleaned and dressed then Sir Thomas heals Trace of some of the damage done by the Twig Blights.
As you start out you notice the normal sounds of the forest are gone and that the only sounds you hear are that of your passage and that it seems like you are constantly being watched. You notice dead trees all along the route you are travelling. After about 1 hour you stop to get a proper meal in you and to take a quick rest. You rest for a short while during which Savra is constantly fidgeting and nervous like she is fighting a battle. She looks at the party and says "let us proceed quickly please." Caelmus nods in agreement with Savra. You are all having a hard time moving through the underbrush (other than Peerimus and Trace.) Travelling for another 4 hours you come upon a great wall of thorns. In this wall of thorns you see the remains of several humanoids and animals. The stench of death pervaids the area.
Savra tells everyone "beyond this wall is the tree we seek."
(spot & listen rolls please)
Sir Thomas hp 66 ac 18; Pryte-Honos hp 41 AC 14 d20=12 d20=19 Monday July 14th, 2003 6:38:20 PM
Thomas draws his sword at the news that they have arrived. He feels the rush of adrenaline begin to run its course and he tries to ease his tension. He looks around and listens for anything dangerous or that he thinks is particularly unusual. He also looks at the wall of brush and thorns to try to decide if they can hack their way through or if there is a better way.
"Sayra, how are we to get through this wall? What should we expect when we get to the other side?"
Sly Foxx and Luke d20+2=15 d20+2=20 d20+5=12 d20+5=19 Monday July 14th, 2003 9:42:43 PM
Sly and Luke Stop for a rest and a bit to eat. Sly look over his scrolls to see if there a spell he could put into his Sword, "Hmm! I have a fire spell and a cold spell. But for this job it will take a sharp sword and swift blows on that all." Sly walk to Sir Thomas asking, "Alright where do we start? and How big a pathway do we chop?".
Like follows and sniff around.

Ilsidur (AC24, hp 61/78) d20+5=14 d20+5=16 Monday July 14th, 2003 11:15:07 PM
Ilsidur looks around at the rest of the group, and says, "Stone and earth I understand, but these strange plants, I do not know anything about. Peerimus, please let us know what you see."
He peers around [Spot roll 14] and listens closely [Listen roll 16] to see what is happening in the forest around them.
Greg OOC Monday July 14th, 2003 11:17:24 PM
Dominic, was the rest that we took after the 1 hour travel, along with the almost complete night's rest, enough for all to get their spells back? And even if the blights disturbed some of the rest, Ilsidur had last watch, and so would have had his complete rest before the twig blights showed up, right?
DM OOC Tuesday July 15th, 2003 2:17:21 AM
Yes everyone has recovered their full alotment of spells.

Trace thanks for the attention he is given and moves on with the group. As he makes his way he cuts as much brush as he can to make way for his horse shadow and for the ohters to follow.
When they arrive to the thorn wall Trace moves to the right side of the group and takes up guard there with the wall to his left the trail they came from to the right while faceing out to protect the group from that direction.
He looks around quickly (spot 28 listen16) with Radiant safely perched up above the group on lookout (spot 24 listen 25)

Peerimus moves easily alongside Yorrick during the journey that culminates at the great thorn wall. The Druid nods in responce to Ilsidur and moves closer to the wall to inspect it and learn what he can. [Spot 12 Listen 16 Nature 16 Wilderness 15] "If the tree is truly just beyond this wall we should prepare ourselves for combat. I will clear a 40' passage through the wall. Then we shall rid this land of the abomination that has taken hold." With that Peerimus casts Barkskin on himself
Caelmus Tuesday July 15th, 2003 7:21:10 PM
Caelmus looks at the others then takes out several arrows and his bow readying himself for the upcoming battle. Then he starts to walks through the wall of thorns.
Entering the Darkwood Grove (DM Dominic) Tuesday July 15th, 2003 7:35:41 PM
As Caelmus and Sayra start to travel through the wall of thorns you see what looks to be a green glowing bird dive and hit Luke. This bird seems to meld into Luke and Luke starts to run into the wall of thorns. Caelmus and Sayra turn and Caelmus says "come on lets get this taken care of before Sayra looses control."

Peerimus follows after Sir Thomas.
OoC I assume we are walking through a big hole created by a control plants spell from Peerimus and that Caelmus, Sayra and Luke are literally trying to walk through a Wall of Thorns
Sir Thomas hp 66 ac 18; Pryte-Honos hp 41 AC 14 Tuesday July 15th, 2003 10:27:32 PM
As prepared as he can be for a fight, Thomas follows the others through the wall of plants. If they walk through a passage created by a spell he will walk through that. If they walk directly through the plants, he will follow in their footsteps to hit the same "weak" point in the wall as they did.
[OOC: I don't know what's going on at the moment, but I'm assuming we'll be on the other side of the wall tomorrow.]

Trace drinks down a cure light wounds potion and cast delay poison on himself incase there is more twigs in there awaiting and protecting the tree. With both sword drawn and ready he moves in behind the last to go in while watching the back to make sure nothing will try and sneak up on them. (spot 25 wilderness lore 13 listen 18 Radiant spot 20 listen 23) As he moves into the thorn bush Trace holds his left arm up for Radiant to perch and then moves him to his sholder. He allways feels more confident when Radaint is there with him.
Sly Foxx and Luke Wednesday July 16th, 2003 5:57:18 AM
Sly takes out the little gold chest (the one they got from the dragon) opens it and takes out the key, in sert the tiny key into the little chest, "POOF!" the big Gold Chest appers, Sly will take out of the chest: the Bag of Holding and a rope. Then put the chest away. Sly will catch Luke and tie him up "I'll take care of your problem later", then put the dog into the bag. Now Sly and Luke are ready to follow the others to the tunnel of thorns bush. With a sword in one hand and Luke in the other hand.
Sir Thomas Wednesday July 16th, 2003 5:50:41 PM
"That is a very odd thing to do Sly. Have you been poisoned? Are you ok?"
Thomas then puts the oddness out of mind and continues forward in an observant and careful manner.

Barrier in the Grove (DM Dominic) Thursday July 17th, 2003 3:53:28 AM
As Sly reaches to grab Luke, Luke springs further into the wall of thorns evading Sly's grasp.
As everyone reaches the otherside of the wall of thorns you are stopped by and unseen force. At the same time you are inundated with the stench of death and decay (Fort. save DC 15.)
As you look upon the Hollow, you notice mounds of rotting flesh lying around the treant. The products of advanced decomposition cover the ground with slick greasy black oil.
Caelmus, Sayra and Luke are trying to get past what ever barrier is stopping everyone but are unable to.
Shiraz AC 23 Hps 65/66 d20+7=18 d20+1=10 Thursday July 17th, 2003 9:15:04 AM

Sly is trying to control Luke (The dog), he knows that he is not doing this on his own. Sly "Luke! Come here I'm trying to stop you from killing yourself." Sly dives for the dog and runs into the barrier, "Ouch!" now Sly will serch with Shiraz for an opening. Looking at and feeling the resistance of the barrier (with his hands).
Peerimus [AC 24 HP50 Endure Fire, Barkskin] and Yorrick [AC17 HP51 Greater Magic Fang Claw] d20=10 Thursday July 17th, 2003 5:41:13 PM
Peerimus hits the wall and looking beyond his eyes steel and jaw tightens. [10+9=19] He had been trying in his mind to imagine what the group would find at the cursed tree, but simply lacked the cold evil imagination to conjure what he now saw before him. Soon he would pit himself against this evil and he knew in his heart no quarter would be asked or given under any circumstance. He would triumph or perish in the next few moments. "Jurgen, Ilsidur, can either of you possibly dispel this barrier?" Peerimus then casts Shillelagh and keeps close to Sayra as she looks for a way around.
Ilsidur (AC24, hp 64/78) d20+10=11 d20+10=15 Thursday July 17th, 2003 7:07:58 PM
Ilsidur is almost overcome by the stench, but manages to fight it off. [OOC: Missed first Fort save with 11, so used luck domain ability to reroll, making save with 15.]
Ilsidur responds to Peerimus, "I can dispell magic, but we should try to figure out what this force is that is blocking us from entering. Do any of you magicians have spellcraft, to tell what this force is?"
While talking, Ilsidur will follow the force wall, to see if it encircles the tree, or if there is another way past it.

Thomas too is nearly overcome by the stench and sight, but he fights it back by considering the gravity of the scene. He assists in looking for a way through the barrier. He even goes so far as to climb atop Pryte-Honos and then possibly Shiraz's shoulders to attempt to climb over the barrier. "Will digging under be a possibility?"
He's all about pushing the wall, pounding the wall, and checking the thron wall behind them for clues about the force itself.

Unable to shake the nauseating stench Savin and Caelmus starts to sucombs to nausea (see DMG pg 85.) Each of you checking finds that the barrier goes completely around the grove in a perfect circle. Sayra studies the area around the barrier looking for any clues but is unable to identify what the barrier is.

Peerimus studies the barrier more closely running his hand along its surface. Unable to come to anything more insightful than 'it's an vinvisble magical barrier' he keeps his mouth shut so as not to disturb Jurgan or Ilsidur's examination. Otherwise he keeps his head about remaining alert [Spot 9, Listen 9] for danger from the Thorn Wall or elsewhere. Yorrick sniffs the ground where the barrier touches it [Spot 11] and digs a little hole testing if under is a possiblity.
Sly Foxx and Luke d20+6=25 d20+6=12 Friday July 18th, 2003 6:07:17 PM
Since there's nothing for him to do about the barrier, Sly comes back to his dog. Then he get an idea "Big Brother Trace, since your a ranger and have Radient for company, can you answer me this. I saw a Bright Bird, looked firey to me, fly down onto Luke's back and adsorb into the dog's body. Then Luke through himself onto the thorn wall. That's why I had to do what I did. Now I wonder if that bird was not another Sprit of the forest? or if its not a enermy sprit? Can you think of an bird that would do this to Luke? I cannot think of a bird doing this.
Luke has been still since I tied him up. Should I untie him and see what he does?" Sly pets his dog as to reasure him.

"Sly, can Luke travel through the barrier? Maybe the bird is assisting him. Can you walk through the barrier while holding Luke? Maybe he's magical now.
"Jurgen, can Vus blink to the other side? Can he take us individually or collectively to the other side if he can? What can you decipher about the type of force we are facing here?"
Not knowing what else to do, Thomas assists Savin in keeping an eye on the perimeter. (He keeps checking outside the entrance in the thron wall and considers the possibility of looking up since blights have been said to be spawned from the tree ... they very well might drop in from above.)
[OOC: How tall is the wall of thorns? Do the limbs from the tree extend over the wall or possibly over the barrier? Does it seem like a reasonable possibility to fly up and over either or both?]
Pryte relieves himself while we wait. ;-)

Caelmus grabs at his gut and covers his mouth trying to fight off the nausea.
Sayra and Luke try to go through the barrier at different locations at almost the same time. Luke is held back for a few moments then lunges forward as Sayra hits the barrier running and passes through. Sayra yells "I'm through! Try now." Looking around you all notice that Jurgen is nowhere to be found. Sir Thomas notices that no branches from the wall of thorns crosses where the barrier is.
When the barrier is penetrated by Luke and Sayra you see 6 Twig blights and 4 dead trees pull themselves up from the decaying matter surrounding Hollow and start to move towards the party.
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday July 21st, 2003 7:51:26 PM
"You are right, Sir Thomas. Luke has been very loyal to me." Sly is now unties the dog. "Luke show me the entrance and I'll be right behind you (I hope)"
Luke heads strait for the barrier, sniff around, trying to get pass the barries, But the second time Luke lunges at the Barries (at the same time as Sayra) and goes through.
"Well they are through, Now it's our turn". Sly takes out his sword, Sly yells "Alright now All Together Now." He ajust his shield and butts the barried head and shield first.

Shiraz calls to Sir Thomas over his shoulder, "Watch my back I am going after that tree!" Shiraz bursts through the barrier and places himself squarely in the pat of the dead tree,"Peerimus!! You and Yorrick come in and get behind Thomas and I>" Shiraz steadies his swords and prepares for a fight. Shiraz prepares to strike at the tree as it closes but slips in the decay at his feet and misses completely.

At the signal that his friends have passed through the barrier, Thomas immediately tries to pass through as well. If resisted or pushed back, Thomas will redouble his efforts to get through. He knows his friends are inside and are facing dire odds if reinforcements don't make it through. Pryte-Honos does the same with the understanding communicated to him by the mental/emotional link he shares with Thomas.
[OOC: I'm assuming Pryte-Honos is near Thomas.]
Once through, Thomas tries to protect Shiraz's flank by charging the nearest twig blight (TB2). In an effort to try to overwhelm the creature before it has an opportunity to react, Pryte moves to attack the same creature, but moves in after Thomas to allow for the wild nature of his charge and the decay enshrouded environment.

Ilsidur lowers his head and charges through the barrier, hoping it is indeed down. He calls the flame onto his axe, and makes his way around the twig blight [OOC: wide enough to avoid an attack of opportunity], charging at the nearest dead tree (DT3). He swings his now-flaming waraxe at the trunk of the tree, trying to chop into it.

Sayra attacks the nearest Dead tree to her (DT1) missing by several inches.
Savin and Caelmus regain their composure and shake off the nausea.
Sly Foxx moves inpast where the barrier was then slips and falls on the slick ground.
Trace steps up hitting (TB4) causing a large gash. (dmg 10) Shiraz moves towards (DT2) slips and falls to the ground from not being able to maintain his balance on the slick ground. Sir Thomas charges TB2 and hits it with a staggering blow (dmg 10) then Pryte follows up and hits it with his second strike killing the Twig Blight. Ilsidur charges in striking the DT3 knocking a chunk off of the tree. (dmg 13) Looking at Hollow Ilsidur thinks that it is a very large treant possibly undead. Yorrick moves in and attacks TB6 and kills it with one great blow.
Twig blights shake off the effects of the spell. Dead Trees remain uneffected by the control plants.
DT3 swings at Ilsidur and misses him. DT2 moves over to Shiraz and tries to hit Shiraz missing him. TB4 swipes at Trace and misses with both attacks. DT1 attacks Sayra missing her.

Thomas and Pryte decide to split up to improve the odds. Thomas moves the short distance to Shiraz's foe (dt3) flanking the creature. He attacks the creature with strong swings of his sword. He's not sure the effect his sword will have on the tough hide of the tree.
Pryte moves to help Ilsidur. Slipping at first, the horse collects himself and makes the move. He creates a flanking advantage of Ilsidur's opponent. [OOC: I bet I lose my attacks, but the rolls are above in case I don't.]
The two move quickly and quietly as focused on their goal of dwindling the enemy so they can see to the Hollow.

Savin will go into his pack and pull out 2 flasks of oil. He sprint over to the hollow, trying to avoid combat and empty them into the area.
Shiraz AC 23 Hps 65/66 Monday July 28th, 2003 10:24:06 PM
Shiraz smiles the feral grin of the hunter as he finishes off his the tree. "Sir Thomas I am going to the hollow!" Shiraz turns and sprints to the hollow<3 times his movement>, twisting and moving to avoid as many attacks ashe can. Upon arriving the minotaur turn and looks at Sayra, "Say it quick, he lives or dies?"

Seeing that he and Shiraz have taken thorough care of the dead tree under their careful scrutiny, Thomas moves to the next one. Being closest, he makes his way for the tree by the hollow that is freshly sprung. He charges the creature trying to take a major chunk from it before it has time to realize it's purpose.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sounding like a raging barbarian, Thomas gains as much momentum as he can in order to try to crush the evil creature.
Pryte moves quickly to Sayra's side (avoiding the tree near the Hollow to prevent an attack of opportunity). Hopefully he'll have gained enough distance to create a flanking maneuver for Sayra. If possible, Pryte will unleash a kick from his front hoof that could distract the tree if not kill it.

Ilsidur chops down the tree in front of him, and, realizing what the real problem is, moves to attack Hollow. He slips and slides in the muck underfoot, but manages to keep his feet, [OOC: Just made the balance check with a 12].
Ignoring any attacks of opportunity that might be swung at him, Ilsidur reaches the giant tree, and chops deeply into the trunk. [OOC: Critical hit, with the second roll successful against AC29, doing a total of 23 hp damage, and a further 3 hp of fire damage.] He calls out, "Sayra, do you know how to defeat Hollow?"

Luke jumps away from the twig blight as it falls and springs off towards Hollow. Yorrick turns the twig blight that Sly just finished into small pieces then turns looking for his next victim.

(balace check 8 (failed)) Shiraz sprints towards Hollow and slips on the muck following Savin's example.

Trace moves quickly through the other twig and turns on the tree that has been swinging at him. He moves into his firewood chopping manuver working both blads and the first swing hits solid (hit ac30 crit con with sec roll dmg 22 with 4 hp frost dmg/ short sword hit ac18 with 7hps dmg/; 2nd attk. miss hit ac8) total dmg to tree 33hps dmg.)

KNowing that if his spell can not connect he physically has no chance, Peerimus turns his attention to help the others. "Sir Thomas, concentrate on the Hollow. Yorrick and I shall free your back! Yorrick!" Peerimus launches his next ball of flame at the tree on Thomas [RTA AC 14 dmg 5] Yorrick moves sure footed to Peerimus and Sir Thomas again bringing in his enchanted claw against the tree [Balance 16 Hit AC 32 dmg 11] ripping through the protective bark

Savin will roll to his feet and attack the tree in front of him trying to take down this opponent quickly. He calls out, "Try fire on the Hollow! It looks dried out to me!"

Acknowledging the help of his friends with a wry smile and quickly blurted "thanks," Thomas makes the best of the situation.
[Rolled 14 + 6 = 20 Reflex] IF, Peerimus and Yorrick have felled the tree in front of him Thomas will move to attack the Hollow which should be only a few feet away (I think). IF, the tree in front of him still stands, Thomas will let his blade devour it.
Assuming the tree was alive and is now dead, Thomas uses any actions remaining in the round to move closer to Hollow. If the tree was already dead from Yorric and Peerimus, then no need for this.
Having helped dispatch the tree attacking Sayra, Pryte moves in toward Hollow from the back side. This should provide a flank for anyone else attacking the tree with his hooves. (Rolled both attacks in case he had them both even with the move.)

Ilsidur chops and hacks at Hollow, trying to fell the undead tree with his flaming axe. [OOC: Full attack action means two attacks, first attack hit AC28, for 12 hp damage and a further 6 hp fire damage. Second attack hit AC18, for 14 hp damage, and a further 1 hp fire damage.]
