Shiraz d20+3=11 d20=1 d20+1=11 d20=6 Monday February 16th, 2004 4:06:26 PM
Shiraz waits on the steps of the temple until his companions return. Shiraz takes a few minutes to tie the albino man's hands securely<Rope Use DC 11> and places the man back over his shoulder and stands watching and listening to the darkness<Spot 1, Search 11, Listen 6>
Peerimus d20+16=23 d20+19=23 d20+1=16 Monday February 16th, 2004 5:21:31 PM
Peerimus will stoop to look at the throat slashes to see if there may be a resemblance to an animal claw or talon. "I think we can easily agree our captive is not wholly responsible. While we can not track him through the sewers, perhaps he came in through a different way." Peerimus then moves outside, "My friend can you find his trail anywhere about this building?" Yorrick lends his nose to the perimeter search. [Peerimus Survival to Track 23 Yorrick Survival to Track 16] [know nature 23]
Niobe Monday February 16th, 2004 5:50:14 PM
Niobe looks around the temple and takes a good look at the wounds on the corpses; including the cleric upstairs. "I think we should ask the guards if they have a map for the sewers. Then we can see where the priest might have exited at." Niobe waits outside the temple for everyone and hopes that they will head for the Guard HQ quickly. She looks at the shortsword she is borrowing and wonders how she is going to carry it around town and not scare anyone!
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday February 16th, 2004 9:39:24 PM
Sly looks around Here and there, there is nothing of real intrest. "Alright lets go get clean up, then talk to the captain of the Guards. I'm would like to hear what he has to say. Come on Shiraz I'll scroub your back." As they all start back.
Savin Monday February 16th, 2004 10:16:16 PM
Savin inspects the dead as well and is horrified by the murder of the priest and defilement of the church. He is a little surprised at the blase manner his companions are taking it.
"We just can't leave the bodies of the family and the priest unattended. I suggest you all stay here and I will fetch the Captain and some guardsmen. This way you can awaken our friendly murderer here and get some questions in on our own and protect the church from more defilement."
Savin will start backing away, "Is this OK?" If no one responds with other ideas, he will sprint away at awesome speeds heading for the barracks.
Base movement 50 X 4 = 200'x 10 = 2000' or around 666 yards a minute.
Ilsidur Tuesday February 17th, 2004 12:17:13 AM
Feeling the need to relook at his attitude, based on Savin's comments, Ilsidur says, "Savin, my friend, you are totally correct. We need to help this family as much as we can."
Ilsidur collects the bodies of the family and the cleric inside the main room of the temple, laying them out as peacefully as possible. He covers them with whatever cloth he can find, and readies the bodies for transport to another, undefiled church.
Justin Webber (DM) Captain Joram Tuesday February 17th, 2004 4:24:51 PM
(OOC:I'm taking for granted that everyone plans to wait on Savin to get Joram and get back so will use that.)
Shiraz ties up the albino carefully and Illisur goes about laying out the bodies nicely and covering them with cloth found in the clerics room.
Savin runs off to get Joram, alittle later both of them showup along with a total of 6 other guards. Captain Joram claps his hands together as he grins and looks at the albino, "Thank you all for capturing this man, I will take him and he will be judged and sentenced to whatever fits the crimes he has committed. Of course I will need all of you to attend, since you captured him you will now need to testify to what you seen and had to do."
Captain Joram waves his men and looks to them, "4 stand guard here and the other 2 come with me and bring our albino criminal there. Gentleman and lady, any comments on what has happened here should only be told during the hearing for sentencing so please do not tell me nothing till then. I'm sure the judge of this matter will want to handle this tonight since this was a noble killing."
Peerimus and Yorrick Tuesday February 17th, 2004 4:44:31 PM
Finding nothing and not being too surprised at the result of the search Peerimus rejoins the others as the captain arrives. He stoically nods to the captains request and falls in line behind the guard as the albino is being taken off. A casual gesture against his leg and Yorrick falls in next to him and takes up an easy stride.
Savin Tuesday February 17th, 2004 9:15:37 PM
Savin doesn't like the Captain's attitude at all. He speaks up, "Well I want to speak at his trial for sure. I would be mightily displeased if he was lynched without a fair trial. I am holding you responsible Captain."
Savin will follow along behind the guards muttering to himself about insanity pleas and possession.
Shiraz Tuesday February 17th, 2004 11:07:47 PM
"I agree Savin. We will wait for the captain to come here with the guard." Shiraz waits until the monk has left and entrusts the watch of the albino man to Sly and Luke for a few minutes as he makes his way around the temple. Shiraz stops at each body, bowing his head for a few momwnts then arranging the body in repose. As Savin arrives with the captain Shiraz places the captive over his shoulder again and resumes his watch. "We should be at the trial. We should speak." Shiraz turns and addresses the man with the captive over his shoulder, "Captain, I agree that if this man is guilty he should be punished for his crimes. However we should not judge the man before his time and before any evidence is committed. If we do we are as guilty as you accuse him to be and our actions no less base."
Ilsidur Tuesday February 17th, 2004 11:26:08 PM
Ilsidur tries to figure out the Captain's intent. Is he saying that the albino will be railroaded in the trial? Ilsidur doesn't get that sense from what the Captain has said, only that justice will be swift. Joran's stating that he wants the party to be there and testify only reinforces that the Captain wants to find the truth, whatever that may be.
"Friends," Ilsidur says, addressing the others in the party, "let's wait to see how the rest of the night plays out, before we start raising concerns about anyone's attitude."
Niobe d20+3=18 d20+8=28 Wednesday February 18th, 2004 12:28:46 AM
Niobe follows Captain Joram inside the temple when he and the guards arrive. She listens to what is said about a quick trial.
"Hello people... What about looking at a map to the sewers, and checking out the house? That priest surely has something to do with all this!" Niobe chimes in sounding more than a bit surprised that no one has mentioned the sewer-rat cleric yet.
Thinking quickly Niobe quietly and swiftly leans the borrowed short sword against a pillar. Then she saunters over to Captain Joram and does her best to keep his attention fixed on her. She makes the best use of the little light there is and her posture, so the Captain isn't thinking entirely about what she is asking. Usually she doesn't try alluring law-men; unless she wants to get away with something, however she thinks that trying to find out more about the priest is worth the effort and the risk. For the first time this evening Niobe is glad that she isn't wearing any armor!
"Captain, we won't tell you any details until the trial, but we need to find that man's accomplice. If it isn't any trouble we need to see a map of the sewer exits, and to look through the house where the crime surely must have been commited." Niobe smiles a friendly yet inviting smile. Inwardly she prays that this will work...

Woody(Ceil) Wednesday February 18th, 2004 6:36:38 AM
Woody step up to the Captain "What the Lady here is saying is that we heard a strange noise that led to the sewers. What we would like to know is , Is there a map of the sewers around anywhere?". The little thief smiles as the big imposing Captain.
Sly Foxx and Luke d20+5=14 d20+5=20 d20+5=22 Wednesday February 18th, 2004 6:50:04 AM
Sly helps out with the bodies and with Shiraz. When the Guards arives with the Captain, Sly will listens to what is being said, Then turns to Ilsidur "I think your right, the Captain is happy to get his hands on his man so soon, he's just going by his orders. He has no intentions of listing to any added details to this case. Your right! We will just have to wait and see." Sly look down at Luke, "Luke, just keep an eye and ears open, we don't want any suprize now Do WE??"

Teleheri Wednesday February 18th, 2004 9:53:44 AM
"and now will become a witness... that's no good." Woody gets close to Niobe and says to everyone else "I dont think this albino man is all guilty. Maybe somebodie killed these people and he was in the place moments after these people were killed.", and the whispers to Niobe "and i dont trust this captain either."
If the captain handle us some sort of map, woody ask him "I guess now this is becoming a official hunt. Dear captain, im not used to risk my life for free. What will we get if we bring your man? "
Justin Webber (DM) Guard and Trial Wednesday February 18th, 2004 1:36:31 PM
Captain Joram thinks a moment and looks to the other after looking over Niobe slowly, "Well dear lady my duty is to get that man over their in as quick as possible. I can have my men though look for this cleric you speak of, if he is in the sewers then they will look. I need you and your friends though to testify on what you seen."
Captain Joram begins to lead the way and looks back speaking as he does, "I do not want a quick trial sirs and lady, I just have my orders and want justice to be seen. The nobles demand this problem have first priority and you probably know the kind of pull they have. The man who is judge though is a honest man and will look at everything carefully and listen to you before making a verdict."
Captain Joram leads you finally to a rather large building. Out front it has 4 wood like pillars holding up the overhang of the porch. Captain Joram walks up and opens a solid well worked door and walks in, leading you into a large room with a few benches and up at the front a pair of tables and a couple chairs. Off to one side is a box where a couple people sit with writting feathers and papers and at the very front is a large desk and a man sitting behind it in a dark robe. The man in the dark robe looks to captain Joram and waves him in.
Before moving in captain Joram looks back at the group, "Stay silent for the moment, you will know when to speak." Captain Joram makes his way inside now and stops infront of the large desk, "Judge William, these people caught the albino noble named Krilanos Quendeck. They will be testifing at this hearing also as to what they have seen. I vouch that they are trustworthy people."
Judge William nods and looks to the group and motions you in, "Come in and sit please, place Krilanos at one of these front tables. At the moment the charge is murder of 3 nobles who were Krilanos's family except sister who was out of the city at the moment. We have ruled out it being his siter do to she has been gone for 3 weeks and this murder is to recent. Also speak with dead has shown that the bodies say their killer was Krilanos." Judge William sighs abit and takes a sip of his glass of water near him and continues, "we have alot of evidence at the moment saying he did it. I need each of you now to tell me what you have seen and done before I allow Krilanos to speak for himself."
Savin Wednesday February 18th, 2004 3:42:45 PM
Savin will look around at his friends and then step forward. "Sir my name is Savin. I was the first in the temple and this is what I saw. I saw a confused and heartsick youngman grieving over his slain kinsmen. Then I saw the same man change. It was almost a switch in his personality. An evil over took him. I wonder if he is possessed or insane.
Then I saw a priest of chaos step forward and call him the chosen one. I had the feeling that he was driving this poor soul towards some dark destiny. I wanted to capture him but he escaped through the sewers.
It was easy to subdue our friend here. I chased the cleric into the sewers but there was no sign of him. I feel the cleric is the force behind this man."
Savin will look down with pity at the Albino. He adds, "I believe he committed the murders, though I have no real proof of that. I sense he was abused as a child and beaten. Still that is no excuse. I wonder though if he was just the dagger in the cleric's hand. A horrible and efficent killing tool but still a tool"
Savin bows and steps back
Sly Foxx and Luke Wednesday February 18th, 2004 4:55:54 PM
Sly steps forward, "I, Your honor Sir, entered the Temple after our Druid, Who is sitting with the bear and my dog, over there (here Sly points to Peerimus) What I saw as we, Niobe here (pointing to Niobe). I observed that a Cleric in dark clothing, stand behind the Krilanos telling the Albino that he was a Chosen One and it was time to start. Start what I do not know, then the cleric disapered in back of the temple. The defendant was no problem for us, although he did swing the candle stand at us, He was not adapt at fighting. We first tied him up, them Some of us went in the back room , the sewer grade was open. Three of our party decended into the sewers, there was no sound in there. That's when Monk Savin went to get the Guards and the Captain, to take the Charged of prisoner. I too feel that this man did the murders, But he is being used for a deeper plan." Sly bows and steps back.
Teleheri and Woody Wednesday February 18th, 2004 6:10:06 PM
"Greetings your highness. I guess i was the last men to get into the temple, and maybe i didnt saw many things. Everything i saw was this pitiful man, standing over the dead bodies, and saying something about being forced to do whatever he did." Woody looks to the albino "Not sure, but i think there's more things behind this than our eyes can see. Dont know if the opinion of this traveler matters, but im not sure if he knew that he was killing those people." After that, he takes a deep breath and say "Well, whatever... it doesnt matter to me anyway. Could we talk about rewards? im kinda poor at the moment so..."
Barnum and Edgar d20+14=31 Wednesday February 18th, 2004 6:45:39 PM
Barnum steps forward, after carefully thinking up what to say. "Good evening your honor. My name is Barnum Berrybrawn. As you've already heard, a cleric of chaos is currently on the loose, one who is most certainly somehow involved in these murders. I understand you've spoken to at least some of the deceased, and they point Krilanos as their killer. That's a hard fact to argue with. But may I point out that there was a cleric of Alemi in the temple who was obviously killed with a blade of some sort, perhaps a dagger. I think it should also be pointed out that Krilanos was not in the least an apt fighter, I suggest he would have a great deal of trouble murdering everyone he did, at least, all by himself. I'm not trying to say Krilanos is innocent, but I believe it might be in the best interests of justice if the cleric of chaos is captured and it is investigated how he was involved, before anyone passes judgement." (Diplomacy 31)
Shiraz Wednesday February 18th, 2004 8:59:24 PM
Shiraz stands up from his seat, his full 8 foot frame easily dwarfing the rest of his comrades. Shiraz bows his head for a minute before speaking, "This man is a killer." Shiraz says softly. "He killed his family and save few instances there can be no worse crime than that.' Shiraz sighs deeply and looks over at his friends, "That said I too stand with what my friends have said. There is something more going onhere and it bears looking into."
Peerimus Wednesday February 18th, 2004 9:00:50 PM
Peerimus stands now and looks at the captive and then to the judge. "As I entered, he was over the bodies sadden of look. the walls covered in the blood of the slain, yet he was not covered. A second man, identified by our cleric Ilsidur as a follower of Chaos, entered and spoke in soft tones to him. He became filled of great anger and admitted to the slayings. The cleric, who caused the deaths, escaped to the sewers beyond our reach, leaving his weapon behind."
Peerimus then sits again and is quiet.
Ilsidur Wednesday February 18th, 2004 11:29:51 PM
Ilsidur steps forward, to say his piece.
"My friends speak truly. There is much more to this than meets the eye. When we first enterred the old chaple, Krilanos Quendeck was crouched over his family members, in tears. He was asking the bodies of his families why they made him kill them, and asking why they were planning on sacrificing him. Suddenly, his demeanour changed, and he began to laugh, saying that the family deserved their fate, after beating him and trying to kill him. He went on to say that he would change the people that are like the rest of his family, and these others must change or die. It is almost like there are two different personalities residing in his body."
"The cleric of Chaos then appeared, and called Krilanos the 'chosen one', and that he will lead them to the 'harmony of chaos', paving the way as their 'saviour'. When the cleric spotted us, he told Krilanos to 'be watchful and wait', as his time has come."
"When we tried to capture Krilanos, he picked up a candle holder and swung it around, saying that he would not be 'taken to law', and that if we work for 'them', he would set us free from our 'chains of servitude to it'."
"Meanwhile, the cleric put on a ring that seemed to make him disappear, and we think that he escaped into the sewers."
"I believe that this man did in fact kill his family members, but I cannot say if he is truly responsible. If you are honestly looking for the whole story, and the complete set of facts, you will need to talk to that cleric of Chaos."
Niobe Thursday February 19th, 2004 12:52:01 AM
Niobe waits for everyone else to speak and doesn't know what else to add really. "Your Honors, I can add little more to the testimony of my companions. I can say that this man; Krilanos Quendeck, obviously needs healing - he seems to be quite insane. Appearently his family thought him cursed, and they surely could not have treated him very well. I mean that man didn't seem to have a coherent thought and definately little or no weapons training; which is unusual for a noble son." Niobe pauses and looks at the court officials, "still if the apparitions said he killed them that cannot be argued with I suppose."
Justin Webber (DM) Hearing the case Thursday February 19th, 2004 1:51:04 PM
Judge William leans back in his chair and is in deep thought for many mins as he thinks over what was said so far, after a moment he nods and speaks, "Captain Joram, I would take it that you have posted guards at the temple and also have other looking through the city for this cleric of chaos?"
Captain Joram seems to jump when his name is called and a quick look at him and you can see he was almost asleep, any of you can guess that this has probably been a long and trying night for him and he needs rest, "Yes Judge Willaim, my men look over the city and are watching Krilanos's house and the temple as we speak."
Judge William nods and looks at the albino that is still knocked out, "The fact of this matter is though that Krilanos did kill his parents, rather insane or not from abuse. The people of this city can not allow such a man to run around free. Before I sentence the man though we will allow him to speak on his behalf."
One of the court guards walks over and splashes some water on Krilanos's face to wake him up. Krilanos quickly comes to and suddenly and begins to jerk at his rope bindings and then sneers when he sees the judge, "Ohhh great...another fool of law...release me judge and I will release you to sweet chaos..the beauty of change."
Judge William frowns and looks to Krilanos, "Shutup about that and tell me why you killed your parents and brother."
Krilanos's face gets a almost sick but satisfied look on it at the Judge's words and breaks into a grin, "ohhh how great it was, I did it all...that day mother broke a mirror in my room because I wouldn't wakeup....stupid woman anyway...boy was she surprised when I snuck into the kitchen while she was making good and slit her throat with a large piece of that mirror glass...ohh and father, he was unlike mother, he screamed...hahaha, slit his throat also while he was writing a note to his noble friends...and brother, well..he was always rather nosy and came running in when father screamed...my trusty staff was in father's library though...spent 2 years carving it while no one new...did a right good job on my brother's head didn't it?..24 whacks exactly to dent his head, ohhh it was beautiful to...the terror in his eyes...they all got what they deserved and you know whats best???? THEY ARE FREE, yesss no more laws, just pure chaos...they can wander anywhere now, free of binds, free of everything...ohhh just wait to see the world I will carve for everyone...sweet sweet chaos to set everyone free."
Judge William looks like he has heard quite enough and motions to the guard who steps up and ties a piece of cloth around Krilanos's mouth. Judge William sighs, "The man is quite mad. An clearly quilty of murder. Captain Joram, you will keep hunting the city for the cleric of chaos. I fear that the full penalty of this man's crimes should be dealt. Tomorrow he will have a exorcism to release all evilness in him and so he can be beheaded pure and clean." With that Judge William slams a small wooden hammer on the desk and stance, "You people who caught him will attend the exorcism, you have earned the right by capturing him and also I make in as your job as to make sure no problems happen."
The Judge now leaves through a back doow and probably into his room, leaving you and Captain Joram alone. Captain Jorma sighs and watches Krilanos get hauled to the small stairway and down it since the jail is below the court house, "I'm sorry it had to end this way and for your trouble I can only offer a small amount." Captain Joram pulls a small pouch from his pocket and tosses it to Peerimus, "Kind sir, there is enough for each one of you to have 200gps a piece. This is all I can offer other then setting up free rooms for you at the Inn you were staying at." Captain Joram looks like he might drop any moment from need of sleep so turns to go himself, "One of my men will fetch you tomorrow to see the exorcism."
Teleheri and Link Thursday February 19th, 2004 4:17:43 PM
As Krilanos speaks, Woody says, "well, he was guilty... insane, but guilty"
Then he grabs Link, and look in his eyes "See Link, was a fun night! and tomorrow we will see an exorcism! that's nice uh?"
As he gets his 200gp, he finaly says"Well, now i have money to pay the inn! gentlemen, good night for you, and im heading to the inn for a good sleeping night... Will you join me for a big beer mug Niobe?"
Then he heads to the tavern, ask for a drink, ang go to sleep. If Niobe joins him, he keeps talking a little with her, while Link sleeps beside him.
sly Foxx and Luke Thursday February 19th, 2004 5:28:37 PM
"Thank you Captain, and the free room will come in handy. You go and have a good night sleep, you earn it." Sly and Luke follow the others to the Tavern. Sly oders beer for those who wants it, wine for those who like the grapes. Sly sit at the table with a far away look in his eyes, then ask Ilsidur "Friend Ilsidur, I wonder about the Sister, I guest She'll inherit every thing when she gets back into town? I sure would like to see the Will as to who get the estate IF She Should Die??" Sly down his wine and bids everybody a good night. Sly "Come Luke, Lets go to bed, too many odd though are running throw my mind."
Savin Thursday February 19th, 2004 7:04:23 PM
Savin will listen to the trial and hear the sentence. He thinks, "It seems a little harsh, but he did kill his own family."
He will go back with the others and enjoy a good meal. He is feeling restless though and asks, "Does anyone feel like a walk? I am not ready for sleep yet."
Savin will accept anyone's company that says yes or head out on his own.
Barnum and Edgar Thursday February 19th, 2004 9:47:46 PM
"Thank you, Captain. It's been a while since I've had any coin at all." Barnum smiles, putting the 200 gold pieces away.
Barnum decides to go for a walk with Savin, chatting lightly with him, "Never been to an exorcism before. I bet it should be interesting to see."
Ilsidur Thursday February 19th, 2004 11:37:52 PM
Ilsidur thanks the Captain for the money, and adds, "There is one thing that we failed to mention at the hearing. Upstairs at the temple, we found a slain cleric of Alemi, with his tongue cut out, and his eyeballs poked out. Looking at the body, we felt that he had not been killed by Kiralon. Also, the albino, who was so quick to admit killing his family, did not mention the cleric. So, it appears that someone else has committed murder this night."
In answer to Savin's question about going for a walk, Ilsidur replies, "I would like to accompany you, but I am a little upset by what I have seen here tonight. I think a good night's sleep, and an early morning with some serious contemplation is in my immediate future. So, have a good walk, you two."
The dwarven cleric makes his way back to the room in the inn, going straight upstairs, only managing a small smile for Bria. He falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, but he does not have a terribly restful sleep, as his dreams are troubled.
Niobe Friday February 20th, 2004 12:34:16 AM
Niobe gladly accepts Woody's offer about going to have a beer. "I'd love to. I think I have seen my fair share of human depravity tonight." Niobe also collects her share of the 200 gold and pockets it. She spends some time just staring into her beer, in between taking long draws from the mug. Niobe is thinking about the strange case and the impending exorcism. "I wonder if that priest has anything to do with that church that mistress Lillian mentioned. What do you think Woody?"
Peerimus Friday February 20th, 2004 9:35:34 AM
Peerimus takes the coin and once back at the inn, gives everyone thier 200, though it is obvious he feels quite queer about it.
"I would love to join you Savin. A nights walk I have always enjoyed. Yorrick, you looked tired. Go with Luke and take care of him my friend."
Peerimus remains in his human form during this walk. once outside..."Sly brings an interesting point on the future of the family fortune. If things were at all like they seem, I doubht if Krilanos was ever in the will. Since the judge has given us a charge we may want to pursue that direction."
Justin Webber (DM) Night and Early Morning Friday February 20th, 2004 2:36:01 PM
Captain Joram nods and bids everyone a good night before departing.
Back at the Inn/tavern every goes about their own buisness pretty much and talk about various things that had happened in the day.
Very early in the morning though a knock comes to each persons door and a voice calls in, "Sir, lady, the exorcism is in a few hours. Please make yourself ready and meet me outside. I will escourt you to the exorcism once you are ready." With that said the guard who woke you walks outside and waits for each person to do what they need in the morning and get some food and drink if you think it is a good idea to.
When the people come down stairs Bria meets Ilsidur and smiles to him, "I hope your rest was peaceful sir, I snuck a peak in on you to make sure you were okay." Brai smiles and winks at Ilsidur.
Shiraz Friday February 20th, 2004 10:20:28 PM
ooc: Sorry about missing yesterdays post I was at work for well over 16 hours.
Shiraz looks aghast at the money bag, "I AM NO MERCENARY!" Shiraz thunders, the anger clearly visible on the minotaur's face. The large taur unconsciously places his hands on the hilts of his swords. "I will not accept that you would cleanse this man of demons or whatever then condem him to execution. if you do you have given no justice to his family only vengence. You become the murder and this so called weapon of chaos. You should find out if he is truely crazy or if in fact he is simply playing some elaborate game." Shiraz stops and stares at the judge, "I have killed men. More than I have need to count. I have always considered myself a just taur. This i swrong and I will not be a party to it."
Savin Friday February 20th, 2004 11:19:36 PM
Savin will yawn and stretch when the wake up call comes. He will splash some water on his face and use a stick to clean his teeth.
He will go to the common room and get some breakfast and quickly wolf it down. He will head out into the yard, do some stretching, followed by some light exercise. He will shadowbox and then perform his forms. He will calm his mind and prepare himself for the day.
He will then go to the guard and say, "I am ready when the others are." He will sit in the shade of a tree, meditate and wait for the others.
Peerimus Saturday February 21st, 2004 4:15:18 PM
Peerimus's eyes widen slightly at Shiraz's condemnation of the whole affair, but he quickly recovers and decides to act. Stepping between the judge and his big friend, facing Shiraz, "This is not the best time Shiraz and mentioning how many MEN you have killed while thumbing your weapons in front of the judge and guard of this town of MEN will not do anyone good or justice. Let us go calmly that we may speak amongst ourselves as to the best course of action."
Assuming this helps and the night then passes, the guard find Peerimus awake by the barn, crossed legged on the ground with the imposing figure of Yorrick sitting and facing the woodman. Having already prayed for the spells which he might need to beseech both Father and Mother Wold at the exorsism, Peerimus joins the others.
During the previous evening Peerimus will want to meet as a group and discuss the days events. "Of my opinion it is this. It is thier town, their laws , thier beliefs and thier citizens. I do not know if we should intervene. Perhaps Ilsidur you could aid by entailing what an Exorcism is and does? Will it free his spirit so that upon death a just reward for his unmarred life will await?"
Niobe Sunday February 22nd, 2004 5:37:34 PM
Niobe jolts awake at the knock on her door very early in the morning. She throws the blanket back over her head and mutters, "what is it with church people and guards? They always, always, have to do things so darn early in the morning?! I bet even the roosters are still sleeping!"
She rolls out of bed and washes throughly before getting dressed for the day. Niobe combs out her tangled hair but lets her long hair hang loose today. After seeing to it that she has everything she needs with her for the day she leaves the room and locks the door. Niobe eats a quick, light breakfast before exiting the inn.
Niobe will greet any of the others that are out and about this morning. She will sit and watch the very last bit of Savin's morning workout with interest. She seriously doubts that she will ever be that active and awake so early in the morning! She marvels at Savin and Peerimus' early-bird tendencies as she waits for everyone to gather.
Niobe doesn't bother to think much about the impending exorcism, since she has never ever witnessed any before, and therefore doesn't want to start thinking about all of the possible nasty things that could occur during an exorcism.
Ilsidur d20+6=10 Sunday February 22nd, 2004 11:43:05 PM
Ilsidur doesn't remember ever having seen, or even heard of an exorcism, although Peerimus' question might twig a memory. [OOC: Knowledge religion roll of 10].
In the morning, Ilsidur wakes up, little refreshed. He makes his regular morning devotions, and readies himself for the day. Over breakfast, he says, "I didn't get a good sleep at all last night. I am worried about this proposed exorcism. I can only hope that it can shed some light on what is going on."
When the guard comes to lead them to the ritual, Ilsidur is ready to go.
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday February 23rd, 2004 7:41:52 AM
As the sun rises, Sly cannot sleep any longer, after all he is half elf. He gets up and washes and dawn new chothes, take another good look in the mirror (To see if his face showes a few stubble of a beard) "No! Nothing! I guest that I'll take after my mother side of the family.
Sly goes out and climbs a tree, sitting there reading in his magic book. Luke has gone off into the woods. Sly observes the guards going into the Inn, "Well! when they knock on my door, there will be only two other people there to answer." Sly looks down and there's Savin deep into thoughs, Sly will quitly climb down, asking Savin "Hey! Buddy! how about some breackfast?"
While Luke was in the woods, Luke meet with his old pal Yurric "Woof! Woof! (come on it time for food).
Justin Webber (DM) hi ho hi ho off to a Exorcism we go! Monday February 23rd, 2004 12:53:35 PM
The group gets ready, eats and Yorrick and Luck make it back in time to get abit of food also. Afterwards they all come out and meet up with the guard who nods to everyone, "Morning everyone, please follow me."
The guard after saying that moves off and letting you follow. After a short walk you are lead to a small house and ushered in.
You are surprised to find that inside the house is very roomy and there are chairs set for everyone. The house is rather plain with a small mat in one corner for someone to sleep on and other wise just a few items related to Alemi, this looks much like a house of a cleric of Alemi. A heavy wooden chair sets in the middle of the room, you can tell that the chair has been bolted to the floor.
After a few moments Krilanos is lead in and strapped to a chair sitting in the middle of the floor and you see a clerics wearing robes depicting the symbol of Alemi come in. Each of the 7 clerics take positions around the chair with one in the center near Krilanos. After a few mins of silence the cleric near Krilanos speaks, "We the followers of Alemi will purify you and allow you to pass into the after life clean of any past crimes."
The cleric standing near Krilanos pulls out a small bottle of holy water and splashes it onto Krilanos and begins chanting now, now and then the clerics surrounding Krilanos's chair speak a single word "Alemi"
As the cleric near Krilanos speaks you notice the following things happening. A picture that was on the wall suddenly looses the image inside and is completely black, plus has come off the wall and is flying around the room. A small statue of Alemi has also began to fly around the room. The last thing to takel ift off is the sleeping mat. You also can see Krilanos's chair shaking as if it is trying to float up.
(Everyone needs to make a Reflex DC22 or be hit by floating items that are flying around the room. Everyone also needs to make a Will DC20 or start laughing suddenly.)
The cleric near Krilanos's calls out as the items start floating and possibly laughing starts, "Do not break our circle around the chair...continue my fellow clerics....the darkness is weakening." You can see Krilanos's now in the chair as the clerics shift some and can see him jerking wildly in the chair and saliva is running thickly from his mouth, he seems to be in some pain but mainly looks quite mad.
Sly and Luke d20+5=9 d20+7=22 Monday February 23rd, 2004 3:30:24 PM
Sly eat breakfast, give some egg and Ham to Luke. Gives the honey oats to Yurric, Places a gold pice for the wench (to clear their mess on the table). Sly follows along with the others, after a short walk, they come to a small house. Sly wrinkle his brow, he thinks the house is small for a exorcism, well anyway he follows every body else to a seat. Sly happens to sit next to Ilsidur, "Please! Ilsidur, explain to me what will happen?" No sooner had he said this the cleric start to chant, then the holy water is splash at the albino. The picture flies by, But Sly did not see the statue of Alemi and it happens to sit Sly on the head,"Ouch!" But the statue keep on going, when the mattress came by, Sly was taking no chances, he duck down and peek over the top of the chair (to see what would happen next??).
Savin d20+10=19 d20+9=20 Monday February 23rd, 2004 4:56:52 PM
Savin eyes go wide as things start to fly around the room. He is watching things fly by as one bumps into his body. He feels the urge to start giggling but fights it down.
He calls out in confusion, "Why is this happening? Is this normal? What should we do?"
Peerimus d20=6 d20=20 Monday February 23rd, 2004 5:34:20 PM
Peerimus stands where he is told and watches the proceedings with a bit of wonder as the apparent forces of Alemi and whatever held this man's soul began such an outward dual of will. As objects lift and whirl about the room, the druid attempts to force himself to stand his ground fighting the urge to remove himself from this greatly unatural situation. The intrusion upon his spirit, he feels distinctly. A Pulling call from the normal scerene melody of his mind. This, the man is if not prepared for, is fully capable of overpowering. The physical objects are another matter entirely, as those about him duck or shift, he seems to practically draw the flying debris' attention.
OoC I don't have access to Peerimus currently. the two rolls are his unadjusted d20's, but a 6 will fail the reflex and nat 20 makes the will
Teleheri and Link d20+12=26 d20+5=25 Monday February 23rd, 2004 6:56:57 PM
As Teleheri wakes up with the guards knoking on his door, he starts to remember his last night talking wiht Niobe and start talking with Link "hum... i hope this church thing that she was talking about dont take uf to the afterlife... after all, she is a pretty girl..." then he shake his heads, "nah! forget it woody. you know these things never have a good end. And why am i talking to you? u dont understand me... do you?"
He gets ready and walk out the room, encountering Niobe when he gets out of his room. "Hi Niobe, good night sleep?" He keeps walkgin on her side until reach the exorcism site,
"I was thinking about that church thing you asked me yesterday, and to tell the truth, i never was really an religous guy, but i always were afraid of priest, especially evil ones. After all, they have gods on their side, so i hope we dont have to chase that priest. Hope our road lead us to another way. Did i mention how u are beatiful in the morning?" ---------------------------------- When the arrive at the exorcism site, he keeps silent and watch eveything, when the alemi statue starts flying around, he make a little commet "Thats why i dont like priests.."
He easily avoid the flying staute, cross his arms and keep watching.
[OCC: sorry missing last post, but its carnival here in Brazil, so, i was getting a little drunk these weekends, and wasnt home :) sorry]
Ilsidur (AC24, 88 hp) d20+3=12 d20+11=12 Monday February 23rd, 2004 10:19:33 PM
Ilsidur becomes more and more upset as he watches the intense ceremony taking place. As the items seem to grow wings and fly around the room, the dwarven cleric tries to dodge them, but his heavy armour seems to hold him down, and he is repeatedly bumped by the flying objects [OOC: Missed reflex save with a 12].
Then, against his will, Ilsidur breaks out in laughter. [OOC: Missed the will save with a 12].
Shiraz d20+3=8 d20+6=12 Monday February 23rd, 2004 10:46:43 PM
Shiraz enters the room if only to see what happens to Krilanos. Shiraz sits as close to the proceedings as possible so as to catch any word that might explain the man's actionsor prove his guilt. Shiraz intent on the albino man is hit soundly with a floating object and begins laughing at it.
Niobe d20+11=16 d20+4=20 Tuesday February 24th, 2004 11:11:23 AM
"Actually I slept amazingly well last night considering that we are going to be present at an exorcism today." Niobe smiles as she answers Woody's question. "Thank you for the compliment Woody. Perhaps I should wear my hair loose more often?" As she continues to walk to the little house she thinks about that priest. "You know I think we might be unlucky enough to have to track that priest. Maybe we could investigate that old church first too though? I guess the local law with dictate what we do next." Niobe makes a face showing her disagreement with have the law say what she can and cannot do.
************************************************
Niobe watches the exorcism with a mix of curiousity and apprehension. She looks mildly disgusted when Krilanos starts foaming at the mouth. Suddenly that wierd picture smacks her in the back of the head and she lurches forward while trying not to loose her balance. Not quite knowing why Niobe chuckles briefly at the crazy situation; though she cannot really find anything funny about it. She bites back any disire to laugh any more and watches the bolted chair shaking. Niobe feels a growing sense of fear within herself.
Since the items haven't stopped flying around Niobe kneels down and avidly watches the exorcism. Absently she says to Savin, "I don't think there is anything normal happening here. We should probably just stay were we are..."; Niobe's mind is drifting wondering about what happens if you die and still have past mortal sins on your conscience.
(Reflex 16, Will 20)
Justin Webber (DM) To be or not to be? Not to be! Tuesday February 24th, 2004 1:13:41 PM
Everyone hit by a floating item in the room finds a small bruise starting to form and takes 2 points of subdual damage.
The exorcism continues, some of the group getting hit by objects and others breaking out into laughter for no apperant reason.
You see the center cleric splash more water onto Krilanos which seems to make him jerk and now a slight hissing can be heard (listen DC25 do to noise).
Suddenly Krilanos burst into a grin and looks dead on at the cleric infront of him and clearly leader of the exocism group, "Play time is over, those who obey the laws need to be set free."
Infront of you you see something amazing by all standards. Krilanos, suddenly snaps the leather straps tieing him to the chair and jumps the lead cleric of Alemi. Krilanos moves with terrible speed that even Savin the monk has trouble following and before your eyes and with his hands only you see the life get drained for the lead cleric. Krilanos drops the cleric to the floor and grins wickedly as he speaks, "Followers of chaos...it is time to show yourselfs! I your chosen one am here...follow me and find glorious chaos and freedom of all law."
The remaining six clerics turn and with a easy jerk of the cleric robe of Alemi they wear, rips it off to show well crafted chainmail under the robes. Depicted in the center of the chainmail chest is the symbol of chaos. Each has a hvy. mace in their hand also and one even speaks up, "Run now our leader, we will hold these people off." The same cleric of chaos looks at you all and grins, "I excaped once, but this time things are different."
Krilanos grins at the words and surprisingly winks to the group, "I know we will meet again...glorious chaos draws us together and will again...if you join me later we will plunge everywhere we go into chaos...think on that."
(OOC:The clerics of chaos have positioned themselves to block the door and allow Krilanos a free get away.)
Ilsidur (AC24, 86/88 hp) d20+11=22 d20+17=36 Tuesday February 24th, 2004 8:28:33 PM Assuming Ilsidur is no longer laughing, or he can fioht it off with another save [Will save 22], or he can make a concentration check to cast a spell [Concentration check of 36]:
Ilsidur casts his FLY spell on himself, and flies across the room, over top of the clerics with their heavy maces and chain mail and chaos symbols, to the doorway, trying to block the albino's exit.
If Ilsidur cannot cast a spell:
Ilsidur dashes across the floor towards the doorway, trying to block the albino's exit. He will run right around or even through the group of clerics, if he doesn't have a clear path to the door, ignoring any attacks of opportunity that he may have to deal with. He can run up to 160' if necessary.
Barnum and Edgar d20+6=9 d20+7=19 d20+6=13 d20+7=24 8d6(5+5+1+4+4+3+6+4)=32 Tuesday February 24th, 2004 8:48:50 PM
Barnum and Edgar are both struck by the same statuette of Alemi, and Barnum clutches his chest, bursting out in uncontrollable laughter.
(Assuming the laughter wears off after Krilanos escapes) Barnum raises his hand and takes a few steps to the side, repositioning himself to fire his spell on as many chaos clerics as possible. "How dare you spit upon the name of my God by borrowing his robes for your vile deeds! Let me show you Alemi's light!" With that, a stroke of lightning launches itself from Barnum fingertips, towards the chaos clerics. (Lightning Bolt: 32 HP damage, Reflex DC 17 for half)
OOC: Sincere apologies for missing two posts.
Savin AC 21/20 hps 62 d20+10=28 d10+4=13 Tuesday February 24th, 2004 10:11:19 PM
Savin will step forward and deliver a sidekick to the cleric closest to him. He will try to use his stunning fist feat.
Not sure how far we are from our opponents so I didn't take a full attack. Stunning fist hits for 13 points of damage. Cleric needs to save vs a DC of 17 to avoid being stunned. It is a fortitude save.
Sly Foxx and Luke d4+4=7 d4+4=7 d4+4=6 Tuesday February 24th, 2004 10:28:24 PM
Sly who is already down on one knee anyway, will take out his two daggers from each boot. Point one dagger to their old disapering cleric, and chant 'Poo Doo' three migic missles hitting (that old pal of theirs) in his chest.
OOC: Ithink it's three mm Damages are 7+7+6=20 hp.
Shiraz d20=10 d20+17=32 d20+6=26 Tuesday February 24th, 2004 11:04:34 PM
Shiraz continues laughing until Krilanos stands up. As the man dashes for the door Shiraz charges the clerics arrayed around the door with his arms out stretched. Shiraz attempts to bowl over several to let his friends pass by. Hit AC 32 Strength Nat 20 for 26.
Niobe d20+10=23 Wednesday February 25th, 2004 1:51:25 AM
Niobe is very displeased with her ill luck. "Once again I only have three daggers!" she thinks. She holds off any attacks for the moment and instead looks to see if she can either exit the house (behind Shiraz maybe?), or find a way to get a better attack on one of the well-armored 'guards' without having to throw any weapons. She does not ready any weapons at the moment. Niobe moves a few steps away from the side of the room with the door. She feels a little dizzy after getting hit by what must have been the pictureframe earlier.
************************************************
(This is only something Niobe will do if the house meets two criteria: It has a window big enough to crawl through, and it is preferably a wooden house.)
If there are any windows in the house; and the house is wooden, Niobe will either open it or break and yell as loud as she can "FIRE!!". Nothing summons the local guards faster than a cry of fire. If the house is not wooden then she will open a window (if any) and sneak out.
(Spot 23, looking for a window)
((Any windows in this house Justin?))
Justin Webber (DM) Posting Wednesday February 25th, 2004 1:59:24 PM
(OOC: Quick question to everyone. Do I need to change my posting time to alittlel ater in the day to possibly help with people's posting? I will change if I'm posting to early for some of you. Also I like to move on combat with all posts or we will have people needing to make up for lost combat or loosing that round. Either one of those choices aren't really fair.)
Savin d20+9=27 d20+4=10 d10+4=9 Wednesday February 25th, 2004 2:23:15 PM
OOC ( adjusting my last post. Justin said I was close enough to use my flurry of blows feat)
Savin follows up his kick with a savage palmheel strike to his opponents head and then an elbow to the clerics throat. Unfortunately he misses with the elbow.
ooc between the 2 posts I should do 22 points of damage. Not sure if it matters but on the first post I only hit ac 27. cleric still needs to make fort save of 17 or be stunned.
Sly Foxx and Luke d20+12=20 d20+12=27 d4+4=7 d4+4=8 Wednesday February 25th, 2004 7:31:26 PM
Sly attack the #1 cleric again with two magic missels, he will try to get through the line of guards. To get into contact with this high and mighty Cleric of chaos and stick the dagger into his adam's apple (or tries to).
OOC: Dear DM it makes no differance to me when you post.
Attack 20&27, Damages 7+8=15.

The room is small enough where none of you need to move far to reach the clerics of chaos. Also the house is made of wood and there are two windows with heavy curtains hanging and pulled to cover them. Of course it has been raining outside since you reached the town, just not as bad as when you were making your way here. Also everyones laughing stopped and the items floating around the room stopped once Krilanos broke free from the chair.
Ilsidur casts fly on himself and flies to stop Krilanos from leaving.
Barnum casts lightning bolt at one of the clerics. (Cleric saved for half)
Savin attack hits the cleric he confronts hard but the cleric is able to shrug off the stun.
Sly casts magic missles at the cleric you guys met earlier. The cleric growls at the blows.
Shiraz comes rushing foreward and hammers one of the clerics hard, sending the cleric flying back abit to hit the wall.
Niobe looks around the room for a window and spots the two in the room, one is close to the chairs the group was sitting in. ------------------------------------------------ (OOC:Ignore some of the rolls as for some reason the dice roller decided to make a whole bunch.)
All clerics except C3 and C5 hold their ground and do not make attacks.
C3 swings his hvy mace at Savin, yelling at him, "Just let our chosen on leave." (Can hit AC:13 Damage:10)
C5 moves back foreward and swings his mace at Shiraz, you can tell he is upset and wants nothing else then to kill. (Can hit AC:10 Damage:8)
Krilanos frowns when he sees Ilsidur land infront of him and he moves foreward with the same burst of speed he used before on the actual cleric of Alemi and tries to slap Ilsidur out of the way. (Can hit AC:16 Damage special if hit.)
(OOC: Clerics have AC:18. Sly, please post your next move on this combat round, otherwise it looks like you made to attacks in one round.)
Savin ac 21/20 hps 62/62 d20+9=26 d20+9=26 d20+4=11 d10+4=12 d10+4=13 Wednesday February 25th, 2004 8:27:42 PM
Savin easily side steps his cleric's swing and moves back in using only knees and elbows this time since they are so close. He slams a knee to the pit of the cleric's stomach and an elbow to the back of his neck. He misses with his third blow but he does another 25 points of damage to his opponents.
OOC total damage to cleric I am facing is 47.
Niobe Wednesday February 25th, 2004 8:39:33 PM
Niobe quickly opens the unlocked window and climbs out. She hits the ground rather gracelessly and rolls to her feet. She makes a mad dash for the door to the house; taking the shortest possible route. She readies one of her daggers as she runs.
Niobe hopes to get to the door before Krilanos gets out of the house. If she gets to the door before he does she presses herself against the wall next to the door (on the side where the door will not hit her). Niobe hopes to catch Krilanos off guard, and maybe get in one good stab.
((I hope to get in a sneak attack on Krilanos if he is caught off guard. If I can try a sneak attack I will make the rolls in my next post.))
Peerimus d20+16=20 d8+10=14 d20+20=24 d20+20=21 Wednesday February 25th, 2004 9:07:04 PM
OoC Sorry for missing guys
Peerimus moves 5 feet and shifts a Dire Bear in front of Cleric #2. With a great claw and thunderous roar, several thousand pounds of bear stand before the cleric for a slightest fraction of a moment. Then a great clawed paw, the size of the mans head slams down the man. [Hit AC 20 for 14 Dmg Improved Grab Feat allows for Grapple check 24 to start and 21 Defenively when its the clerics turn]
Shiraz d20+17=19 d20+6=23 Wednesday February 25th, 2004 9:36:19 PM
Shiraz frowns at his attempt to knock more than one cleric out of his way and spots Krilanos standing less than 10 feet away. Shiraz roars in tauric starting his shield spinning around him. Shiraz charges into cleric 4 ,<AC 19> and attempts to push the cleric into Krilanos <Strength 23>.
Barnum and Edgar Wednesday February 25th, 2004 9:59:19 PM
"My apologies, to my friends who get tangled up in this, but there's no time for fine adjustment!" Barnum calls out to his companions, and with a wave of his hand and an utterance, mighty black tentacles burst through the ground around Krilanos and company. (Cast Evard's Black Tentacles, centered on Krilanos)
Ilsidur (AC24, 86/88 hp) Wednesday February 25th, 2004 11:47:34 PM
Ilsidur avoids the slap of the albino, then watches in disbelief as the black tentacles jump up from the floor. He quickkly flies back through the doorway, stopping just on the other side of the doorjamb, waiting to see how the tentacles will affect the albino, the clerics, his friends, etc.
If the albino manages to avoid the tentacles, Ilsidur will cast hold person at him. [Will save vs. DC17.]

Sly attacks the cleric she attacked earlier. Her daggers cutting nasty wounds into him, her one dagger though doesn't get his adama's apple though.
Savin hammers the cleric who tried to attack him and watches at the cleric crumples to the floor.
Shiraz rams the cleric he was aiming at and watches the cleric go flying back into Krilanos, the cleric though hits Krilanos and falls to the floor more then pushing Krilanos anywhere. (The cleric miss his aoa)
Niobe hides outside of the door, hoping to sneak attack Krilanos.
Peerimus attack one of the clerics also and is successful in grappling him also as the cleric struggles.
Barnum casts evards black tentacles centered on Krilanos.
Ilsidur is able to make it outside the door just intime to miss the tentacles.
C1 not injured C2 is being grappled by Peerimus and is slightly injured. C3 is dead (inless Savin was doing non leathal damage) C4 was charged by Shiraz C5 Sly has hit with magic missles and stabbed. C6 not injured
C3 is stuck in the tetacles but is dead anyway.
C4 was able to excape them but is still in the spell effect area do to the shove.
C5 is stuck in the tetacles.
C2 is stuck in Peerimus's grapple and trying to get free.
C1 moves and takes a swing at Sly. (Can hit AC:11 Damage:5)
C6 moves and swings his hvy mace at Barnum. (Can hit AC:15 Damage:6)
Krilanos was able to break free of the tentacles and before everyones eyes his body weaves in the air before turning into gas and begins floating/flying out the door.
Savin ac 21/20 hps 62/62 d20+9=15 d20+9=26 d20+4=21 d10+4=13 d10+4=12 Thursday February 26th, 2004 4:17:18 PM
Savin does a quick look around and decides to help Barum. He moves over quickly (might be giving C4 an AOO, not sure as he is fighting tenacles) and take 3 fast strikes at C5.
The first was using the stunning fist feat but it missed. The second and third attacks both hit solidly doing 25 points of damage to the cleric. Savin is showing no mercy and not pulling his blows. C3 is dead.
Teleheri d20+9=10 Thursday February 26th, 2004 5:34:54 PM
After a few seconds, Woody now 'wakes up' and realize what's going on sayin "Step back Link, time for fun!"
Then draw his short bow and fire at the cleric that is attacking sly, but miss
When Krilanos turn into gas, he say "Wow... that man is good..."
Teleheri (AC 20 HP 34/34) Thursday February 26th, 2004 5:35:19 PM

Barnum (6 hp damage) d20+17=33 8d6(4+4+2+3+4+1+5+3)=26 Thursday February 26th, 2004 10:15:52 PM
C6's mace comes down hard on Barnum's left shoulder. The Halfling nearly drops to one knee when Savin comes to his aid. If Savin does not knock out the cleric attacking him, Barnum will fire a lightning bolt at him. If Savin knocks him out, Barnum will fire his lightning bolt at the cleric attacking Sly. (Casting on the defensive, Concentration 33, Lightning Bolt damage 26, reflex save DC 17 for half)
Evard's Black Tentacles will be in effect for 7 more rounds.
Shiraz d20+14=32 Thursday February 26th, 2004 11:14:35 PM
Shiraz flings his cloak from his back and attmepts to fling it over Krilanos in gaseous form. <AC 32> Shiraz looks over his shoulder, "Can anyone change him back?"
Ilsidur (AC24, 86/88 hp) d20+8=28 Thursday February 26th, 2004 11:18:29 PM
Ilsidur watches the albino change into a gas right before his eyes, and quickly casts a targeted dispel magic on the humanoid-shaped cloud, trying to make him reform. [OOC: Rolled a natural 20 for the dispel check, for a total dispel result of 28.]
Sly (AC 20 - 56/61 Hp) d20+12=25 d20+7=23 d4+4=6 d4+4=5 Friday February 27th, 2004 7:09:04 AM
Not wanting to get tangle in those tetacles of C5, and since C1 has taken a swing at him, the cleric#1 is close enough to get a strike on him. Sly turns to face the cleric 1, Striking him once with his left(in hand) dagger, then quickly striking a second time with his left dagger (in hand).
OOC: attack Ac25 & Ac23, Damages 6+5=11 Hp.
Peerimus d20+20=37 d20+20=33 Friday February 27th, 2004 8:53:57 AM
Another great furred arm wraps about the Cleric (C2) as Peerimus, in Dire Bear form, pins the cleric face down and unable to speak. Looking down at the helpless man, he issues forth a thunderous roar of victory.
[the second roll is my grapple check against the cleric 33]
Niobe Friday February 27th, 2004 1:29:41 PM
Niobe is awfully curious about what Ilsidur is up to. She listens to the arcane mumbo-jumbo that he is spouting. Niobe notices a minor shift in color near the top of the door, looks up and sees part of a very weird cloud just barely emerging from the doorway. "Now that is interesting..." she says in a detached tone of voice.

The battle continues and Peerimus keeps C2 in a tight bear hug no matter the effort the cleric puts up.
C6 gets pounded on by Savin which sets the cleric of chaos to staggering and the the bolt of lightning from Barnum makes him colapse to the floor.
Niobe sees the strange cloud coming towards the door and slightly peeking out the door.
Sly stabs C1 with his daggers, making a pair of nasty wounds on the cleric of chaos but not dropping him.
Teleheri fires a arrow at C1 and misses, he does get to see his arrow hit and stick into the wood wall.
Shiraz tries to cetch Krilanos in his cloak but in his gases form Krilanos is able to wiggle around it quiet easily.
Ilsidur casts dispell magic on Krilanos but finds his spell has little effect since Krilanos stays in his gas form. (Do a knowledge arcana check or religion to find out more)
C1 is slightly injured but presses his attack on Sly, swinger his hvy mace at Sly in a overhead fashion. (Can hit AC:10 Damage: Couldn't hit).
C2 is still in the bear hug of Peerimus, yelling as he tries to wiggle his way free and finding his kicks to be ineffective against the dire bear.
C3 Is dead
C4 moves out of the tentacle area, being able to stay form getting caught and strikes at Shiraz with his hvy mace. (Can hit AC:10 Damage: Can't hit)
C5 is stuck in the tentacles yet and unable to break free.
C6 has fallen to the floor and is badly injured, he casts a cause moderate wounds on Savin. (Touc attack can hit AC:25 Damage: 14)
Krilanos flies 30ft from the door way in excape. Of course the black tentacles are in the way of everyone but Niobe.

Savin winces as a nasty cut opens up on his chest. "Ouch!" the monk says with a grimace. "Not bad, but now its my turn. Savin launches a flurry of attacks which are almost to fast for the eye to follow. Three quick efficient punches all to the ribs designed to break bones and puncture lungs.

Sly duck and weaves around cleric #1, then come in to strick again, once with the right trust (hit ac21), then jabs with the left (hit ac19).

Teleheri became a litte scared about thos tentacles, walking back and stands near the wall and and now fires an arrow at the cleric that is attacking Shiraz (C4), and hits a nice shot (6 dmg)
Peerimus AC 17 HP 74 d20+20=26 d20+20=27 Saturday February 28th, 2004 1:13:10 PM
Looking about, the clerics are all well in hand and there is little the druid suspects he can do to affect a gaseous cloud if Ilsidur could not dispel it. Peerimus will maintain his pin on the cleric.
Barnum and Edgar d20+5=18 Saturday February 28th, 2004 11:38:43 PM
Edgar watches Krilanos's movements to try to determine the source of his gaseous form. (Knowledge Arcana, 18)
In the meantime, Barnum dismisses Evard's Black Tentacles, in hope that it'll give the others a chance to chase after Krilanos. By doing this, C5 is now freed.
Niobe d20+13=24 d20+15=21 Sunday February 29th, 2004 2:40:56 PM
Niobe feels compelled to follow the gaseous form of Krilanos. She doesn't realize that it is him though, but figures that she might as well see what it is since Ilsidur was blocking the door and the others are taking care of the clerics. Niobe has never really seen a 'cloud' that moved on its own before. She moves quietly, going from shadow to shadow as she follows Krilanos. Niobe conceals her readied dagger under her cloak.
(Hide 24, Move Silently 21, if necessary Niobe has the Ranger ability Track.)
Shiraz d20+17=29 d20+6=19 Sunday February 29th, 2004 10:48:01 PM
Shiraz grumbles in frustration as his cloak misses the gaseous form of Krilanos. Turning his eyes towards the fighting clerics Shiraz attempts to grab the closest one and ensure they have one to interrogate. Striking quickly Shiraz grabs the cleric by the chain shirt, AC 29, pulling the cleric to him,Strength DC 16.
Ilsidur (AC24, 86/88 hp) d20+6=8 Sunday February 29th, 2004 11:11:33 PM
Ilsidur flies after the cloud, trying to figure out why the dispel magic didn't work. [OOC: Knowledge (religion) roll of 8]
He calls out over his shoulder, "I will meet you back at the inn, if we get separated!"
Justin Webber (DM) Cleric fight and cloud chase d20+6=20 d8+2=5 d20+6=11 d20+6=21 Monday March 1st, 2004 3:52:58 PM
Savin does a flurry of blows to C6 and gets a satifing feeling as the cleric goes still and makes no movements.
Sly stabs C1 with his daggers and the cleric now looks badly injured.
Teleheri shoots C4 and the cleric stumbles abit as the arrow sticks out of the cleric quivering.
Peerimus continues his bear hug on C2 and the cleric has now passed out.
Barnum dismisses the Evard's black tentacles and tries to figure out Krilanos's gaseous form ability. Barnum is able to come to the conclusion that Krilanos has some how beenable to obtain vampire traits with the exception of having to bite someone to drain life.
Niobe chases after Krilanos but stays in the shadows as she does. Outside it is raining but this doesn't seem to effect her hiding.
Shiraz grabs C5 and tries to hold him.
Ilsidur flies after Krilanos. Ilsidur is quickly soaked in the rain outside as he flies also and lighting flashes in the sky now as if something is angry outside.
C1 frowns at Sly and continues pressing his attack to Sly since he isn't to badly injured. (Can hit AC:20 Damage:5)
C2 has passed out in Peerimus's bear hug.
C3 is dead.
C4 continues attacking Shiraz even with Teleheri's arrow sitcking out of him. (Can hit AC:11 Damage: Can't hit)
C5 is actually able to break free of Shiraz's hold and tries to make a break for the door.
C6 is dead after Savin's flurry of blows.
Krilanos still flies quickly in his gaseuos form. The rain seems to have no effect on him and the lightning flashing in the sky shows him in the light now and then.

With one taken care of, Peerimus looks about quickly. Sly is wounded and Shiraz while technically having two opponents has yet to even unsheathe his weapon. Standing to his full 12 feet of height, 8000 pounds of bear steps in on the cleric before Sly. Two great clawed attacks slam down, pulling the cleric from his feet into a bonebreaking gapple, as well as into the great bear's timber splitting jaws. [Claws Hit AC 35 13 Dmg; Hit AC 30 15 Dmg] [Grapple 26] [Bite Attack Hit AC 14 15 Dmg]

Savin sees C5 trying to escape and quickly cuts him off. "Hello again. Didn't we met before. Stay for awhile.) He throws a quick right but the cleric is able to avoid it. (Darn that was the stunning blow feat attack.) He follows up with 2 more quick attacks both of which land. Savin wants to question this one, so he is pulling his punches causing subdual damage.
Subdual damage is 22
Sly d20+12=18 d20+12=14 Monday March 1st, 2004 8:35:15 PM
The cleric #1 gets a few lick into sly, Sly drop to his knees and takes a couple of breaths before getting into battle again. 'Good chance Peerimus is with that black heath gussard.' Sly think to himself.
Shiraz d20+17=21 d20+6=22 Monday March 1st, 2004 10:12:58 PM
Shiraz groans as teh cleric pulls free of his grasp and latches onto the cleric again, AC 21 grabbing with both hands this time, Strength 22, Shiraz attempts to bear teh man down to the ground.
Niobe d20+13=32 d20+15=29 d20+9=13 d20+10=21 Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 12:16:07 AM
Niobe continues to follow Krilanos; and now also Ilsidur. She picks up her pace quite a bit and closes the distance between herself and the cloud, but still stays to the shadows. Niobe isn't bothered by the rain and lightning, though it does seem that a major storm is building. She looks around at her surroundings to see if she can figure out where the cloud is going.

Ilsidur (AC24, 86/88 hp) d20+5=14 Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 8:08:03 AM
Ilsidur continues to fly along, following the cloud of Krilanos. Growing up in the mountains, he is little bothered by the rain and wind, although he hopes that the lightning doesn't get too close. [OOC: Rolled a spot roll to notice Niobe, but only rolled a 14, so not successful.]
Justin Webber (DM) Making good the escape. d20+6=19 d20+6=16 Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 4:44:37 PM
Peerimus attacks C1 but misses with his bite. He does however land both large paws on the cleric and jerks him into a bear hug.
Savin misses with his stunning fist but lands his other two hits. He watches in staisfaction as the C4 crumples to the floor, knowckout.
Sly takes a moment to cetch his breath before jumping back into combat. (I noticed you made dice rolls but didn't state what for like to hit and damage, etc.)
Shiraz tries to grapple C5 and this time gets the cleric in a tight minataur hug.
Niobe continues following Krilanos and isn't sure where he is headed since he is heading towards the gate area.
Ilsidur flies after Krilanos also, unable to spot Niobe as he does.
C1 is being grappled by Peerimus and can't break free.
C2 is passed out after Peerimus bear hug.
C3 is dead.
C4 is knocked out after Savin's flurry of blows.
C5 is grabbed by Shiraz and is unable to break free.
C6 is dead.
Krilanos suddenly shifts from a gaseous cloud to a dire wolf and you see him break out into a full out run. (New movement of 200ft) The speed quickly leaves Niobe behind inless she can run that fast.

Sly gets to his feet, Takes the hilt of the dagger, Hitting the Cleric#1 on the head twice. "Good night, I hope you see the stars with these two lumps I'm giving you. Thank you for holding him,Peerimus." then Sly look around to see who is still standing. "Want Me to club him for you Shiraz? Hey where is Ilsidor and Niobe?"

Peerimus will assure the cleric is unconscious by giving him another good squeeze [Grapple 39 dmg 13, Grapple 34 Dmg 12]and then drop him to the floor moving outside to see if Niobe or Ilsidur, which of course are too far off.
Once outside though the weather strikes him oddly. There was no earlier sign of such With that thought he puts his nose into the air to learn what he can about the strange appearance of the storm [know nature 38]
Savin Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 9:10:54 PM
Savin will take a quick look around and see that things seem to be in hand. He will quickly go to the unconcious cleric C4 and start to strip him of his weapons, clothes, everything. He will stack anything that looks valuable in a corner for someone to detect magic on. He will then ask Sly, "Sly I bet you are better at tying knots than I am. Could you tie this one up while I get started on the next. My master always said, It is helpful when taking prisoners to strip them naked. They are less likely to cause trouble when they wake up and be more compliant. Make sure you gag them as well. We don't need any spells going off."
Niobe d20+7=18 Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 9:38:35 PM
Niobe stops dead in her tracks and is very surprised when the cloud turns into a dire wolf. Her jaw drops as it takes off at impossible speed next. Niobe sheathes her dagger and and runs over to the tracks that the wolf made and studies them. Next she starts to track the wolf (following its tracks of course) moving as fast as she can; even out the gates if possible. Niobe knows that there is no way that she can keep pace with the wolf, so she concentrates purely on following the tracks for as far as she can before the rain washes them away. The idea is to get to know the general direction the wolf was moving in.
(Tracking Feat (Ranger), Survival 18 (to follow tracks; I don't jnow what the DC is))
Shiraz d20+1=16 d20+6=17 Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 11:18:10 PM
Shiraz shakes his head at Sly, "Not right now. Thanks though," Shiraz grunts. Shiraz begins to apply pressure to the body of the cleric,<Int DC 16 to not kill or injure him><Strength DC 17> pressing his wait against the cleric,"Where is he going and how do we get there?"
Ilsidur (AC24, 86/88 hp, flying) Tuesday March 2nd, 2004 11:20:50 PM
Ilsidur watches as the cloud turns into a wolf, and speeds away. Realizing that he cannot keep up, he stops chasing, and then is startled when Niobe steps from the shadows to try and track the speeding creature. He lands beside the half-elf, and says, "Well, I don't think that we will be catching him this way. Maybe Peerimus can change into a cheetah, or some other fast creature, and follow him. But, I am sure that we have not seen the last of him."
Then the cleric makes his way back to the church to see how the rest of the party faired against the Chaos clerics.
Justin Webber (DM) Cleric Stripping? Wednesday March 3rd, 2004 4:50:38 PM
Between Sly's hit with the dagger and Peerimus's squeezing C1 passes out or maybe passes out, it's hard to tell from which.
Savin moves to start stripping the cleric's and piling their weapons up to the side.
Niobe stops for a moment when Krilanos changes to a wolf and races off. She regains her composure though and begins trying to track him.
Shiraz presses the cleric to the floor and squeezes him while trying to get info from him.
Ilsidur lands beside Niobe and speaks to her.
C1 knocked out
C2 is passed out.
C3 is dead.
C4 is knocked out.
C5 is being grappled by Shiraz and only speaks alittle as he is forced to, "A old church outside of town....thats all I know."
C6 is dead.
The treasure found on the clerics are: 4 potions 1 scroll 1 tube (the tube is about 5inch long and as wide as a person's thumb) PP:75 Gems:17
Barnum and Edgar d20+13=30 d20+5=7 Wednesday March 3rd, 2004 5:42:59 PM
"This is a curious thing for me to say, my companions, but from what I've observed, Krilanos seems to have somehow become... vampiric. Granted, he's not a true vampire, I think he drains energy just by touch, as we witnessed earlier upon the leading cleric of Alemi. I'm not sure whether he's undead or not... I also don't know of any way he could've gained these vampiric attributes, but I don't think I need to say that he's obviously very powerful now." Barnum says with a sigh. "Now what?"
Barnum picks up the scroll and looks it over (Spellcraft 30). After that, he takes one of the gems, examines it (Appraise 7), and pockets it.
Savin Wednesday March 3rd, 2004 10:22:36 PM
Savin suggests that we get the other clerics tied up. "I am gonna go get the Captain of the Guard.....again. Maybe we should get out of this town. Seems like a dangerous place."
Savin takes off towards the guardhouse at full sprint. He will bring back an officer as quickly as possible.
Peerimus Wednesday March 3rd, 2004 10:57:42 PM
Finding nothing about the storm and no sign of his companions, Peerimus returns to human form and goes back inside. Arriving just in time to hear the cleric sputter about the church outside of town. "I think we have a starting place...again." As Savin leaves, the druid calls to him to be watchful as there was no sign of Niobe, Ilsidur or the creature. he will then assist in anyway he can with the captives. The dead he leaves as they lie.
Shiraz d20=9 Wednesday March 3rd, 2004 11:13:38 PM
Shiraz lessens the pressure on the cleric, "What direction is the church?" Shiraz is busy with the cleric and doesnt notice Barnum pocket the gem.
Ilsidur Wednesday March 3rd, 2004 11:58:40 PM
Ilsidur flies back into the temple, arriving as Shiraz asks about some church. "Ask him to tell us what is going on. Who is the albino, and why did he kill his family? What is their sect trying to accomplish? How did they infiltrate this exorcism?"
Niobe d20+7=15 Thursday March 4th, 2004 1:06:02 AM
Niobe nods at Ilsidur's comment but still tries to follow the creatures tracks to get a general idea of where the creature is going. She turns her head to tell Ilsidur that she will return to the inn if or when she can no longer follow the tracks, but Ilsidur has already flown off. With any luck she can discern where the creature was heading in general. Especially since there shouldn't have been any similar type of tracks in the area. Niobe is not happy with the extremely poor weather. She is beginning to feel like a drowned cat!
(Tracking, Survival 15)
Sly d20+4=18 Thursday March 4th, 2004 6:58:20 AM
Sly ties the cleric up, thinking how wise to take off all his chothes, Then he hears something about an Old Church. "What Old Church? The only old church is the Monestary where the Bell was? Shiraz make him talk a little bit more..."
But Sly has notice Barnum pocket the gem.(Spot 18)
Sly turn as Ilsidure arrives into the house, "Ilsidur, have you seen Niobe and Woody?? I hope those two has not gotten into trouble??" If Sly has time, he'll go to the door and give Luke a whistle.
Justin Webber (DM) Cleric talks Thursday March 4th, 2004 1:34:55 PM
Barnum tells the group his thoughts on how Krilanos has became so powerful suddenly. Otherwise he looks at the scroll and can tell it's a divine scroll. The gem he isn't sure how much is worth but pockets it.
Savin runs off to get the captain of the guards and returns after sometime since the captain was at his house sleeping and Savin had to find out where the captain was and also allow him time to dress.
Peerimus helps strip and tie the clerics up after looking outside to check on his companions. (Sorry about missing the weather check in the last post Peerimus. The rain has never stopped since the group has arrived at Harnamar. The storm though just suddenly hit and you can feel no magic behind it though, just a funny feeling that it's like a omen.)
Shiraz presses the cleric to tell more.
Ilsidur comes back to the temple/house and has a new set of questions for the cleric.
Niobe tries tracking the tracks abit more and finds that they lead towards the gate and then suddenly stop. She can now find foot prints leading to a stable like area and sees that one of the stalls in empty. Outside there are tracks of a horse leaving the city.
Sly asks questions about the church also and otherwise helps with the clerics and goes to the door to whistle for look to come. Luke comes running in alittle while after the whistle and greets Sly happily.
The cleric that Shiraz is pressing moans as he is presed farther and finally speaks after a few moments, "I do not know the direction of the church, I only know that is where he is headed. Krilanos is our savior, he will lead this place and others into Chaos...that is his destiny. I know not why he killed his family other then possibly beginning to circle of chaos...now the nobles will watch their back and if there were any plots among them then this is a good time to start them (this comment should be taken as if another noble house wanted to obtain power then this is a good time for them to do something. So no, the cleric doesn't know if there is a actual plot of that matter). My group are here to aid Krilanos, to see the area filled with chaos...that is our goal and he is our leader." The cleric says nothing of the exorcism though and how they got in.
Right about now Captain Joram and Savin show up and Captain Joram sighs as he looks around, "Well, this looks quite bad. I would take it Krilanos excaped and from the looks of the bodies here I would also say that some clerics helped him. What happened to this one?" Captain Joram nudges the actual dead cleric of Alemi with his boot, the body rolls over now and the people looking can see how the cleric now looks almost mummified, drained of all his life.
Peerimus Thursday March 4th, 2004 6:36:28 PM
Peerimus nods to Joram's assertation of what happened. Kneeling beside the Alemi cleric he adds, "Krilanos snuffed out his life with a touch. Barnum likened it to a vampire." Peerimus arranges the cleric into a position of repose, arms neatly folded and then stands. "We have a lead of the church outside of town as to Krilanos's destination. Captain Joram can take care of things here, we should begin our pursuit soon." He looks to the others for their agreement.
Sly and Luke Thursday March 4th, 2004 7:39:36 PM
"I agree with all of you. Peerimus get Yurric I think we are going to need him." Sly kneel and takes the short sword that Niobe used earlyer in the day, "Here take the scent of Niobe and find her for me." To the others Sly tells then "I think she might be following the Albino. If she heads any where near the city gates to the north road, then she's heading for the Church. Shall we follow??"
Niobe d20+7=10 Thursday March 4th, 2004 8:44:13 PM
Niobe follows the horse tracks to just past the gate and marks them with a large stick stuck next to them as a large 'flag'. She feels like they are getting much more difficult to follow now.
Niobe takes note that she is at the North Gate, "so he must be heading north... I wonder what is north of here?".
"Well if I am going to follow him, then I need my stuff!" Niobe runs like heck for the inn. When she gets to the inn she runs up to her room unlocks it, and hurriedly straps on her weaponsbelt, quiver and slings on her Haversack. She leaves her armor in the haversack. Niobe checks the room to make sure that she hasn't left anything behind. That being done she very quickly pays her bill and runs flat out for the north gate again.
When she returns to the gate she will probably be winded. Niobe wonders how it went with the others? Unless anyone has showed up at the gate by the time she returns she will try again to follow the tracks a ways. She thinks it is better to keep doing that, since everyone else seems to be accomplished warriors.
If anyone is at the gate then she will hurriedly tell of what she has seen and done; hardly pausing for a breath so the words might just run into each other a bit.
(Tracking, Survival 10. Running at full speed back and forth to the gate; and works as fast as humanly possible to get her gear on.)
Barnum and Edgar Thursday March 4th, 2004 9:19:35 PM
Barnum hands the scroll he found to Ilsidur, saying, "I believe you may be able to find some use for this, friend."
"Curious people... Treating 'chaos' as if it was some kind of ideal. The only other beings I know of that see chaos that way are demons, or... Was it devils? Well, something underworldly. Ironic though, that we, the Children of Chaos, seek out to stomp out the worshippers of..." Barnum trails off, the gears in his mind beginning to turn.
"Say... That monastery we were discussing earlier, the one filled with the negative energy that hurt Mother Lilian the other day... That's not to the North, is it?" A grin crosses Barnum's face, as he looks to the others.
Savin Thursday March 4th, 2004 10:31:19 PM
Savin will take a close look at the dead cleric of Alemi and shudder. He will cross over to the loot and start looking through it. He will pick up the tube and take a closer look at it.
He will ask, "When I was away, did anyone detect for magic? I wonder what this tube does or what is in it?" Savin will look to see if it can be opened. If it can, he will gently open it.
After he is done investigating, he will scoop up all the remain gems and hard money and say, "I will hold on to these for now. We can have them appraised and divide them later."
He will then pick up the potions and head over to Ilsidur and ask, "Is it possible to get a cure. One of those Chaos clerics got lucky. Why don't you hold on to these. Don't want people to think I am greedy."
He walks over to the Captain and says, "Well you can handle these guys I hope. They are naked and tied up. We need to go check out that monestary."
Ilsidur d8+5=9 Thursday March 4th, 2004 11:24:34 PM
Ilsidur asks to see all the items that were taken from the chaos clerics, and casts detect magic over all the times, including the gems.
Then, he casts read magic on the divine scrolls, to determine what, if any, spells are inscribed on them.
When the captain shows up, Ilsidur asks him, "Apparently, Krilanos has escaped and is heading to some sort of monastery or church outside of town. Can you tell us anything about that place? And if you don't know, is there someone in town who can?"
When the monk approaches for healing, Ilsidur casts a cure light wounds spell on him, saying, "Do you need more healing? How badly are you hurt?" [OOC: Savin receives 9 hp healing.] Then, he says, "I can hang onto the items if you want, but I have every faith in your honesty. I hope that we can trust everyone in the party, or else we will start to question each others' motives, and whether we can expect help when we most need it."
