Fern Thursday July 21st, 2005 2:24:06 AM "Is there anybody who can identify these potions?" Fern asks wanting the potions to be werewolf antidote.
Sir Henri Thursday July 21st, 2005 7:45:44 AM
The paladin advances to the cube, before picking it up, He will take his gloves off and touch it, with one finger.(Detect Evil as a spell) He speaks to his sword, "I wonder if this Cube is evil? I wish, my right arm friebd, You could tell me?" (and be very suprised if it answers)
If he fell it is not Evil, then Henri will pick the cube and examen it.
If he feels that the cube is EVIL, Then he pull his finger away and tell the othere's that the Cube IS Evil.
Marek Isentomb [AC 33/32 HP 38/68] Thursday July 21st, 2005 11:52:28 AM
Marek Looks to Kashmari and her brother with the vials. "Can either of you confirm these?" If they can't Marek drinks one, "Bottoms up then." If they can he awaits the outcome of thier study.
"OK looks like a magical short sword, also looks like it transforms to a weapon you can use. Lets try and confirm that shall we?" Marek will pick up the now short sword to see if it shifts yet again.
"All right, we should leave the gold for now, we still have to sweep this place before the engineers can get to work. Lotta rooms we ain't been in yet. Tyal if you have a moment I could use some healing prayers."

Hart Bear [AC 13, 34/71hps] The bear lumbers to the pile of loot and stares at it shaking his furry head. If a bear was bored, this one would be. The bear puts a paw on a sword to see what happens.
NamfoodleThe All Knowing Thursday July 21st, 2005 8:10:14 PM
Looking up at Fern,"As the world knows there is naught that Namfoodle the Magnificent and Amazing cannot discern from exxamining a few baubles and trinkets. Hand them over to the great Namfoodle and he shall tell you of your trinkets." The gnome speaks to her in his deep baritone.
Fern Thursday July 21st, 2005 8:26:46 PM
Fern hands over all the potions for namfoodle to check, snatching the one Marek has away from him before he can drink it. "Let someone check it first." She scolds
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] {bless} Friday July 22nd, 2005 12:40:54 AM
Tyal nods to Fern and then moves over to Marek who is checking bodies. Without a word he taps the man upon the shoulder with the wand, sending healing into him. He then turns to the rest. "Anyone?" He will put away the wand if noone speaks up.
[Marek healed 16hps]
Sir Henri Friday July 22nd, 2005 5:45:40 AM
The Paladin Looks at the cube on all sides, trying to feel if it's evil.
NamfoodleThe All Knowing Friday July 22nd, 2005 8:47:53 AM
He casts identify on the three potions and one of the vials with the wolf's pae on it. He then reveals his findings to the group.
Justin Webber (DM) Small treasure&Mykell post Friday July 22nd, 2005 12:49:10 PM
Mykell looks over the treasure found and shrugs while waiting, wanting everything checked atleast as much as possible before doing anything. ------------------------------------------------ Henri checks the cube and feels no evil radiating from it.
When Hart in his bear form touches the sword nothing happens. However when Marek picks it up it suddenly goes through another shift to resemble a nice longsword.
Tyal moves over and heals Marek of some of his damage.
Namfoodle concentrates and uses a couple spells, finding out that one potion is a cure serious wounds potion, fly, keen edge and the last is a cure lycanthropy potion.
So far there is no movement outside of the room of any type and you hear nothing really going on. Drifter vanished rather suddenly after leaving the room.
Marek Isentomb [AC 27 HP 54/68] Friday July 22nd, 2005 3:23:46 PM
Healing flows into Marek and he gives Tyal an appreciative nod "Thanks"
Looking to Namfoodle, "Lycanthropy cure, excellent. Mykell, think you might be wanting one these then." Marek will ask Fern for it back and with a smile to her, "Bottoms up then." and drinks the liquid.
"Now let's move through the rest of this place and take care of any more undesirables." Marek moves to the small door. "Kash. care to do your stuff? Or should I just wing it open and hope for the best?"
Fern Friday July 22nd, 2005 3:53:51 PM
Fern hands over the lycanthropy potions "We should keep the extra one, just in case we meet another werewolf."

Hart Bear [AC 13, 35/71hps] The bear lumbers along behind; slowly its wounds heal. He moves to the door and looks around for trouble. It sits down like some furry black doorstop.
Sir Henri Saturday July 23rd, 2005 6:32:32 AM
"Boy! That's quit a sword there, it changes sizes to fit the owner." Henri notices.
The paladin will follow the party, while examerning the cube. He's looking for a way to either open it or for moving parts??
Justin Webber (DM) Movements Sunday July 24th, 2005 1:44:46 AM
(OOC:Moving on the game and asking a very serious question that I need EVERYONE in the game to reply to please so look at the end of the post.)
The group begins to move on, waiting long enough now for alittle extra healing and Mykell and Marek to drink the cure for their werewolf problem.
The small door just behind the thron actually has a small door knob and opens easily enough and clearly is not locked. Inside the small room which is more like a small closet is a pair of keys hanging on the wall and lining the walls off to each side in small pockets are a combination of skulls and severed heads. These look to be Darkbeast's battel trophies of previous battles. ------------------------------------------------ Okay everyone, to the serious and non post part of my DM post here. I been expressed concern too about the course of the game and players finding it abit lacking I'll just say. Right here I would like to ask everyone to let me know what you think about me cutting this mission short and moving on to something the group might enjoy more.
Right here and now I would like to say that you our the players of the game. Like most of the normal Wold games I would like you to take a active part in the game, enjoy it and where the storyline and play is heading so speak up now everyone. Do you want to end this current module quicker? What are you looking for in the game? What would you like to do? What can I do to make the game better? I want this game to run for awhile longer, hopefully quite awhile longer and I personally think you all are good players and you should know what your looking for in a game so speak up and let me know how I can help out. I'll say now that I think it is my fauly we lost the player of Eiras and I feel right now that it is my posting or something that has made Dom bow out for alittle while or longer (not meant to offend in anyway, this is just my feelings), I want to keep the game going and keep my players happy so help me out here everyone, what can I do to make the game funner for you?
I also like to take this moment to say that the next module I will be giving my ADM a copy so on days I don't post Jay will beable to throw in a post to keep the game moving daily or this is our plan. I also plan to throw in more rp chances, more puzzles and such. Anyway, thank you for listening to me ramble and to Eunice and Dom I hope my comment wasn't taken as a offense since I didn't mean it that way, I just at the moment feel like I let Dom down as a DM if he left because I lost his interest in the game.
loretta Sunday July 24th, 2005 2:11:23 AM
I like this game, of course I like all your games even if I sometimes bug you about posting, why else would I keep joining them how many games of your's have i been in about 20?. When we started this game the concept was to find a way to stop the dark lands from encroaching and maybe to get rid of them entirely. While getting a fort has been fun, recently we haven't really done much (or so it seems) to stop the dark lands. I would like to eradicate the werewolves so that the dwarves can start fixing the castle (and maybe add a few more rooms, i mean 4 rooms for 8 or 9 people fern's not sharing with a guy and her and kashmari might end up killing eachother) and then either go back to the dark kingdom or try and find the lakothian's to learn more. I do quickly want to get fern's giant eagle that her mentor has been training for her. You do need to post regularly to ALL of your games. If not everyday then every other day or even three times a week, maybe you could make yourself a schedule post daily to this and that game, every other day to other games, and once or twice a week to things like the giggling ghost. And please try and get more players for artifact legends as its almost dead or Poppy will move into the mith tap, like I said before you finally let me have a winged halfling and as she has 27 dex I dont want to give her up :) Maybe you should get an assistant dm for your other games as well, but not me as I dont want to know what's going to happen in the game.
Again, you're a great dm and I love all your games you just need to post more often.
Ceil/Sir Henri Sunday July 24th, 2005 7:09:11 AM
My Dear DM Justin Your Mods are always intresting, they were enjoy able and I alway learned some new about role playing.
In this Mod, Sir Henri would like t6o lern more about his special (and Intelergent) Sword you gave him. So far it has not said "Boo" to him but he greatly love his sword. He is also looking forward to dispel Evil and a lurking ghost or two.
So far I appaud your choice of Adm Jay. Eunice in her chosen field of Nursing, is comming into some pretty tough Classes, and she will be missing some post because of it. As for Dom, Well he is like a small boy with a new toy, he plays for a while then drops it, going on to something else. Not a bad player or DM, don't miss understand me. BUT it does have an effect on others in the game, I myself got mix up as to wjere or what we were doing or where we were.
So far, my Paladin is looking forward to his new home base (the Fort), you see he he alway on the trail, doing good for the King and his people. That is until he join this party.
Keep up the good Mods. Ceil/Sir Henri
Daniel K/Marek Sunday July 24th, 2005 3:59:53 PM
I am enjoying the tap, dont' cut things short it takes away from the building sense of accomplishment. My only mild frustration comes from at best there are 3 posts a week.
marek is an adventurer. pure and simple...like high altitude mountain climbing it is the thrill and adrenaline rush of combat, death traps and powerful foes that he craves to encounter. treause fame and all that are secondary perks but not the reason for putting himself on the line.
Hart (Jay B) Sunday July 24th, 2005 7:16:15 PM
Justin, you know my views, so there is no real point to repeating them...
But to add to Loretta's points, the darkness IS the reason Hart is in the group at all. He swore an oath to a wood spirit, his Spirit friend, that he would help bring the light back to his home.
I will continue to play in hopes the game gets to the initial goal.
As a player and ADM of the Mith, I really want to plead with folks to "Please, please, post on a regular basis!" I realize that RL often deals a blow and you have to settle it, but I'm sure you folks saw how slow the posting got when folks stopped posting. That can KILL the game entirely.
As it stands, we currently have seven players that will remain in the game. An eighth may be recruited.
Namfoodle(David) Sunday July 24th, 2005 7:54:59 PM
I like the game, and I am glad to be back, I had some troubles in real life but that is all worked out for now. As for Namfoodle he is part of this group, and will stand by his friends no matter what, but he like Hart is here to fight the spreading darkness. He is let's face it something of an egomaniac. He will fight the good fight, but more importantly he wants the fame that goes along with being an adventurer, and the fame he would garner from being a part of the group that saved the world is right up his alley.

Marek Isentomb [AC 27 HP 54/68] Monday July 25th, 2005 12:16:26 PM
"Keys, most excellent. Ought t'make opening some of the more important rooms here about much easier." Marek scoops th keys and puts them in his belt pouch. He ignores the skulls.
Turning Marek moves to a table and spreads out the map. "Ok we're hear and I'm thinking we should sweep this floor and then return to the first level. Barracks then Treasurey to the Smithy and so on. Thoughts? Opinions? Unfriendly comments just to hear your own voice?"
Fern Monday July 25th, 2005 2:26:24 PM "I think we need to visit the treasury and armory and see if we can find some silver plated weapons then hunt down that werewolf. Hopefully it hasnt attacked the dwarves."
Hart Tuesday July 26th, 2005 4:23:39 AM
OOC: Checking in. Justin, I need your module! :)
Sir Henri Tuesday July 26th, 2005 5:40:57 AM
"Well! For safty sake, I think Marek is right. We should Sweep every room we come to, in case theres something in there hiding to attack us from the back." The paladin put in hes two Coper Coin the plan.
Henri is still fiddling with the cube.

Deciding that he no longer wishes for the extra image of him to hxist he dismisses it. "When all the investigations are complete, the Namfoodle would like to set up his equipment so that the great and magnificent one could prepare various alchemical compounds."
Justin webber (DM) Continuing Tuesday July 26th, 2005 2:19:57 PM
(OOC:Sorry for not posting yesterday. A storm rolled in just as I was logging into the wold. Jay, I have no copy of the module you guys are on currently since my computer was fried. I planned to wing what was left of this module and then send you a copy of the new module I make. Also, Ryan who played the ogre plans to come back in the near to distant future depending on how soon he gets things taken care of. I can announce for another 8th player if you don't mind Ryan possibly coming back and making the game 9 if we keep everyone till then and get a new player anyway.)
Before moving on Kashmari and her brother Aelanthir turns to the group and Kashmari speaks up after concentrating for a few moments, "Friends, it has been alot of fun traveling with all of you but me and my brother are being called else where. We must bid you all farewell and wish you all the best of luck." With this said, Aelanthir and Kashmari leave the room and make their way to the exit of the fort. (OOC:Everyone, Kashmari and Aelanthir has left the game so I wanted to let you know that it's official.)
The group talks of doing a sweep of the upper floor and then moving to the lower floor and it sounds like each person has pretty much agreed with this idea.
(Daniel, since it sounds like your leading the group then please state what room your heading to by the name on the map anyway and such. My computer loads maps to slow at the moment for me to look at the map. I also will be cutting the module short everyone to move on to the new one. I hope all of you can deal with that.)
As your leaving the room something does cetch your eyes. A small square that fits perfectly into the floor between the two knight statues has a Lakothian symbel etched into it and from the looks made by a rapier. Maybe a marking left by Drifter for you or something.
Marek Isentomb Tuesday July 26th, 2005 3:25:48 PM
He nods to Kash and her brother, "Good journey to you then."
Marek is about to leave when the mark catches his eye. Perhaps a secret cache of some sort. Marek calls everyone's attention to it. "Ideas on opening or lifting that puppy out of there? We got any rogue types left?" Marek takes 20 on a Search check (total Search 22)
After the investigation of the square Marek will be leading the group to teh Barracks, then the Treasury and then the Smithery, as marked on the map.
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] {bless} Tuesday July 26th, 2005 10:14:08 PM
Tyal looks to the map and then just shrugs. "I have no problems with taking care of things in any order." He looks to the beat that he knows has to be Hart and nods to indicate the bear. "I have a debt to repay." He looks around as the spot is indicated and smiles. "How about tossing something into that spot first...maybe it will trigger something before we can set it off?"
As an after thought he calls out again to the group as they stand. "Any healing needed?"
Fern Tuesday July 26th, 2005 10:37:57 PM
Fern will wait a moment while the others try and figure out if there's anything special about the tile.
Sir Henri Wednesday July 27th, 2005 6:09:26 AM
The Plaldin waves agood-by Telling them as they leave. "Bestof Luck!, But if your ever in this part of the woods? You know Your alway be welcome here.
As henri consentrates on the cube, What Maek has said, finaly get into hid braim, "What did you say? a square between two statue? I wonder if this is not just a cube, but a key?" Henri walk to Marek and hands him the cube. "Here try this first! It just might work??"

NamfoodleThe All Knowing d20+10=30 Thursday July 28th, 2005 1:10:27 PM
Before Marek can get started usng the cube,"Wait good sir, I think I may have come across this in my studies." He begins to rummage through his bags, and begins reading through various notes.(Bardic Knowlege Check 30 WOO HOO)
All the while he is muttering to himself in gnomish.(OOC I threw in all that searching stuff to see what our wonderful Dm can tell me that I know about the cube.)

The bear standing nearby shapeshifts and is Hart once again. "So, the brother and sister left huh?" He eats a Goodberry.
He stands vigilant. (Listen 40, Spot 41)
Marek Isentomb (illegal 2nd) Thursday July 28th, 2005 4:58:20 PM
Marek looks to Namfoodle, "Hey knock yourself out little chief." he tosses the gnome the cube.
Justin Webber (DM) Cube and tiles Thursday July 28th, 2005 5:37:23 PM
Mykell follows everyone around the tile and looks it over while letting the others look it over more. he is saddened to see Kashmari go since she and he was getting pretty close and he hopes to himself it wasn't something her did. ------------------------------------------------ The cube begins to be looked over by various people and then finally passed to Namfoodle who looks over his notes and such before coming to the conclussion that it looks to be alot like a cube of force or one of such cubes anyway.
Looking over the tile there appears to be no traps present. After searching the tile carefully more a small button or something is triggered and the tile lifts slightly and slides away, revealing a ladder leading down into a small swirling portal. From the looks this might be something Drifter was talking about by his comment on secrets from Lakothian in this fort.
Marek Isentomb Thursday July 28th, 2005 5:39:29 PM
"OK swirling portal of death down the ladder. No one goes til we finish up here. Let's gear up and move. Nam, keep the cube with you."
Marek prepares to exit the room and head to teh barracks.
Fern Thursday July 28th, 2005 6:17:49 PM
Fern looks into the portal and wonder where it goes. She thinks for a moment and then digs in her pouch. She ties a fishook to some twine and lets it down the portal. After it's been down a few minutes she brings it back up.

The satyr looks like he's seen better days. Exhausted from the shapeshifting (his first time), he sits and digs through his pack for a potion. (drinks a potion of cure light wounds recieved on gift day from Tyal, heals 2... not too good) He digs for another potion. Finding a lotus petal, he chews on it and feels a little better, though he is still badly wounded.
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] d8+1=5 d8+1=4 Friday July 29th, 2005 3:00:48 AM
Tyal makes his way over to Hart with a wand in hand. He does not give the satyr a chance to say yes or no as he applies the wand to the man's shoulder. Healing floods the satyr, making him at least feel a little bit better.
He mutters under his breath about the wand in his hand and shakes it. He then applies it again to Hart with a slight smile. "Part payment for earlier." He could have sworn that the wand was even more useless that time around.
[CLW - 9 healing to Hart]

NamfoodleThe All Knowing Friday July 29th, 2005 9:17:58 PM
As he reads his notes and such,"He begins to smile,"It is as Namfoodle thought, a cube of force, a very versatile item. It can be used in a variety of ways. to create invisible barriers and such, but it can also be used in offensive ways too, and as long as you don't use all of it's daily charges it can be used againa and again."
Mykell Zweihand Friday July 29th, 2005 9:38:32 PM
(OOC:I will be making a post later tonight DM wise barring storms anyway and plan to make one tomorrow or Sun to make up for one of my missed posts if thats exceptable to everyone.)
(Jay:I plan to advertise for a single player to make 8 at this moment if you like, just let me know please. Just let me know yes or no :).)
Mykell looks down the portal and shrugs abit before looking to Marek, "We could check it out depending on what everyones thoughts are. if these creatures here were linked to Darkbeast then they might know we killed Darkbeast and who knows what their doing then."
Jay B Saturday July 30th, 2005 5:56:30 AM
OOC: Its okay with me, but as I say, 8 should be the limit.
Marek Isentomb Saturday July 30th, 2005 10:26:28 AM
Portal could also be a one way trip. We clear the keep and allow the restoration process to begin to create a base of operations." Marek then adds with a wink, "Then we can go for some good fun Mykell."
"Place wont check itself c'mon people...so to speak."
Justin webber (DM) Moving on and Interesting Saturday July 30th, 2005 11:57:08 AM
(OOC:Okay Jay, I was asking because if Ryan who plays the ogre returns which may not be for months or so then he would make 9 if I got a new player now. However as commented on before. We would not go above 9 in that case. I'm not letting this game grow any to much larger then a normal game. I figure we could probably handle 9 players but I didn't want to act on it till I knew you were perfectly fine with it.)
(OOC:Everyone, sorry about the no post yesterday. James had somethings he needed to work on and between that and the computer not wanting to load the Wold site for me for whatever reason I couldn't post. However I made this post and if we can get all or most of the posts in by tomorrow I plan to make a Sun post to to help makeup for the missed posts. Thanks everyone and I know all you understand.)
Marek pushes to move on which is probably mostly excepted by the group. The interesting thing happening at the moment is Fern who tries fishing in the portal swirling at the bottom of the ladder.
Fern feels nothing of interest really happen to the line but when she finally pulls it up she finds a single piece of paper hooked on the hook. It doesn't look like it was put there either as much as just a lucky cetch. Besides the addition of the paper nothing looks wrong or anything with the rope or hook.
No movement can be heard yet from anywhere yet. Now the question is, continue clearing or explore the swirling portal. Decisions decisions.
Fern Saturday July 30th, 2005 1:12:49 PM "Hey, guys look what I caught!" Fern exclaims when she pulls up the fishing line. She takes the paper off the hook, rolls up the twine (leaving hook attached) and puts it away. Then she takes a look at the paper. She will tell everyone what, if anything, the paper says and be ready to leave the room with the others.
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Sunday July 31st, 2005 1:02:02 AM
Tyal stands near the door that will lead to the armory or the door to the hallway. He looks to the others but takes no lead. He knows that he must be careful as his skills maybe needed in a support capacity and to get right into the thick of things could get someone killed.
He does look to Fern and shake his head. He waits to hear what the paper has to say though he finds little fault in looking over the rest of the fort first. "I say portal last as well."
Sir Henri Sunday July 31st, 2005 7:15:12 AM
Henri will look over Fern's shoulder "Intresting But I vote to clear the First Floor first, before going down into that Void. I hate to be suprised from behind! If you know what I mean?"
Fern Sunday July 31st, 2005 11:11:10 AM "I didnt say to go down the portal, just look what I got. I thought it would be fun to see what would happen while you guys checked out the cube."
Fern heads towards the door to go check out the rest of the castle.
Mykell Zweihand Sunday July 31st, 2005 5:28:17 PM
Mykell looks to the others and also waits to see what the paper has to say while checking how easy his katana slides from it's sheath and looks to the others, "Lead on Marek. My sword hungers for more blood, my sword arm ready to be tested and my skill ready to become greater."
Mykell smiles since fighting and gaining in skill and power was his main reason for being in this land so looks forward to increasing that skill.
Sir Henri Monday August 1st, 2005 6:03:08 AM
As he was following the others the next door, he turn to Fern trlling her, "We know, we just want to protect every bodies back. After all! This is a strange place. Come lets go!"

The satyr looks about the group, wondering why nothing is happening. He hates this fort and hates lingering even worse in the 'stone coffin'. "Lets go!" He say rather loudly.
Namfoodle Monday August 1st, 2005 8:59:22 AM
Following along,"Not to mention we mus check on Mule."
Marek Isentomb Monday August 1st, 2005 11:32:16 AM
After Fern reads the paper, regardless of what it says Marek nods, "Vortex it is after the Fort then."
Marek leads to the Barracks area
Fern Monday August 1st, 2005 5:04:57 PM "No Marek, First the fort, then the werewolf if we dont find it in the fort. We need to make sure the dwarves will be safe and we wont come back to a fort full of dwarven werewolves. After we take care of the werewolf we can go through the portal."
Fern follows marek to the baracks.
Justin Webber (DM) Baracks and Paper Tuesday August 2nd, 2005 12:43:22 AM
(OOC:Sorry for the lateness of this posts everyone.)
Fern looks over the paper and reads it out loud. It seems to be some type of diary page or maybe a loose diary page anyway, "Late Spring has finally came and it looks like my experimenting has gone well. Lab is setup and artificial demon has been produced with amazing stregnth and vitality in it even un melded. Now only to find a subject for experimenting on..."
Moving on the the baracks you meet nothing on the way. The place looks to of calmed down and if you pass by any doors that hadn't been opened before then some of them are opened now and no one is inside.
When you reach the baracks the door is closed and from the slight wiggle of the handle you find out the door is not locked. (Spots and listens will pick up nothing at this time.)
When you open the door you see the room is filled with bunkbeds that are all empty. A small footlocker sits beside each bed and in one corner is a small desk with a leather bound book on it with a strap locking it shut. It looks to be some type of diary.

Sir Henri d20+5=23 d20+6=19 Tuesday August 2nd, 2005 7:08:54 AM
The paladin Listens (23), he hears nothing noticeable. He looks around (19) sees nothing moves, but the desh and the book on it.
He as enters enters the Barraks, he motions to Marek (by pointing to the desk), he also whispers to the leader "Something of intrest over there!"
Henri will look around the bunks and into the footlockers. (Don't know how many bunks & footlockers he can do in one round)
Namfoodle the cautious d20+5=23 Tuesday August 2nd, 2005 9:12:15 AM
Namfoodle cautions eveyone to be wary in their travels. (If allowed he will take 20 to search for any traps in the rooms<25> if not I rolled a 23)
Marek Isentomb Tuesday August 2nd, 2005 9:14:23 AM
Listening to Fern read the note, "I think we all know who this guy got to run the experiment on. Rats chasing cats! That means Darkbeast is duplicatable and I'm pretty sure we don't want that. Let's get this for cleared," Looking at Fern "and get that stray dog, eh dear."
Finding the barraks unlocked, Marek opens the door via hard kick and moves quickly in for a fight. There of course is none. "Good eye Henri, snag it." Marek takes a walk down the line of beds and flips open each footlocker, stooping to give a quick rummage through. "Mykell take the other side."
Apparently posted at the same time as namfoodle there. Marek will let Nam do his thing, greatly appreciative there is someone who can find traps besides his foot or hands
Fern d20+8=13 d20+8=16 Tuesday August 2nd, 2005 1:37:29 PM
While Fern is waiting for Namfoodle to finish checking for traps, she'll go to one of the beds that he has already searched and take a few pillows.
listen: 13 spot: 16
Justin webber (DM) Barracks Wednesday August 3rd, 2005 2:04:46 AM
(OOC:Jay, Making a post for Mykell here and also a small post for Tyal so please count them as a post for me.)
Tyal stands back and lets the others search for traps and such and once more adds his voice to the ix as he decides to check once more, "Anyone in need of alittle more healing."
Mykell takes the other side of the room as he was asked when the room is checked for possible traps. He also taking a couple moments on each foot locker to check it's contents. ------------------------------------------------ Namfoodle finds now traps on the doors or anything thus far and the rooms is completely clear of all enemies for sure as beds are checked to make sure.
The foot lockers hold nothing of real interest. Some person belongings, some clothes and such. A couple does have some random coins in it )a total of 50gp and 20 silver found in all).
The diary is grabbed by Sir Henri also and otherwise is just a normal diary from the looks with a leather strap binding it shut.
Sir Henri Wednesday August 3rd, 2005 6:38:30 AM
Since Marik misunderstude his hand signal, goes to the desk )hoping that thereis no traps), Pick uo the book and waves it into the air. "This Book was what I was pointing at! It was on the desk, Marek, but what do you do? Go right for the foot lockers and what do you find? No traps, just a few coins. That's good, now mybe the desk is not trap either?" Wonders Henri??
Hart(AC 22, 76/82hps, Spirit and Loran Wednesday August 3rd, 2005 9:16:49 AM
The satyr waits patiently as the others mill about. He looks at the personal effects from the foot lockers.

Marek Isentomb Wednesday August 3rd, 2005 4:39:36 PM
"Sorry didn't realize you were just pointing it out and weren't planning on picking it up. Anything Nams?"
The search goes without a hitch, a little coin is found and Marek heads out of the room to the treaurey. Cause that is hopefully where some fun stuff will be. "Treasurey time folks, Nams you're center stage"
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Wednesday August 3rd, 2005 10:21:18 PM
Tyal follows along feeling maybe a little bored but also relieved that they have found no more trouble. He still knows that they are pressed for time despite anything they may find that will help out Marek and Mykell.
Fern Thursday August 4th, 2005 12:29:05 AM "Ok, guys I think this room is fine. Lets move on to the next one." Fern waits for the others to decide which way they're heading.
they were just in the meeting hall, now the barracks. should we go clockwise (treasury) or counter clockwise (kitchen)
ooc: to tyal's player (sorry forgot name) marek and mykel have drank a lycanthropy cure that was found on darkbeast.
Justin Webber (DM) Treasury Thursday August 4th, 2005 1:45:49 AM
Mykell shrugs as his searches turnup really nothing of note and he looks to the others as he prepares to move on. He likes the idea of checking the treasury area though since it might hold something of itnerest. ------------------------------------------------ (OOC:Sorry Ceil, I also misunderstood your post for Henri and thought you grabbed the diary previously also.) Henri now grabs the diary and finds it is quite normal and nothing happens to him. The desk however is a normal sit at study like desk, no drawers or anything.
Marek decides to check the trasury next and makes his way to this room now.
At the door to the treasury there is a large turning like wheel on the wall and a set of numbers ranging to 6. There is not other markings on this except a small arrow on the wheel to evidently show which number your selecting when the wheel is turned.
The Name Is Namfoodle Thursday August 4th, 2005 4:45:32 AM
Stopping everything he is doing at Marek's attempt at giving Namfoodle a new nickname."Now good sir, I feel that I have treated you with the utmost respect in our travels together." As he walks over towards Marek. "You I consider a friend, we are not that close and never will be."
He then stops and laughs for a bit,"I apologize I forget sometimes that not everyone follows gnome customs. The mode of address you just used is that of..,"He pauses searching for the right word,"Let's just say intimately and leave it at that." He stops and bats his eyekashes at Marek,"Although I am flattered I must decline any further advances from you, for I am waiting for the right gnome lady to come along and sweep me off my feet." This Namfoodle finds amazingly humorous and falls on the floor cluthcing his stomach laufghing uncontrollably.
Sir Henri Thursday August 4th, 2005 6:43:38 AM
Henri smiles as he replies to Marek, "Ahh! yes, a leader does go to the inportant thing first. Now let see what'a in this book, Hopefuly it'd the named of the men that was living here?"
The paladin thumbs threw the pages of the Book, but chuckles at the Gnome reply to Marek's visible discomfort. "chuckle! chuckle!"
OOC: Sorry for my spelling, BUT that sceene was funny. LOL
Hart(AC 22, 76/82hps, Spirit and Loran Thursday August 4th, 2005 7:54:50 AM
The satyr grins at the situation with Namfoodle and Marek. Its easy to understand the gnomes point of view. Its the same as someone calling Hart by his name in public. Customs should be observed. Thats what makes folk different. The druid continues to smile despite himself.

Marek Isentomb Thursday August 4th, 2005 12:35:24 PM
"Ummmm yeah." Is Marek's reply to the gnome. Namfoodle then bursts into laughter and the adventure seeker knows he's just been had and had good. A smile slips on his face which becomes a pretty big grin as he catches the faces of his various companions. "Ok, Ok. Namfoodle the Extraordinary." then after a small pause and quieter, but still obviously meant to be heard, "Smart ass."
Looking at the dial Marek gives the door a tap or two as if unconvinced of its solidity. "Well sir, looks like we get to sit back and be dazzled and amazed at Namfoodles lock abilities."
David(OOC Post for Namfoodle) Friday August 5th, 2005 3:55:11 AM
Actually Namfoodle was telling the truth it is gnome custom, but he's laughing at his joke about waiting for a proper gnome lady. Namfoodle's sense of humor is slightly left or right of center.
Sir Henry Friday August 5th, 2005 6:48:19 AM
Henri knows when not to push a joke too far, but as long as he has the book in hand. He opens it (I hope it is a roster??) and will start counting the names into the book, this will tell him how many there was?, how many the party has already Killed? And about how many there are left to go. (not counting the ones that ran away.
OOC: DM - I don't have to role for this info? Do I.
Hart Friday August 5th, 2005 10:03:01 AM
The satyr is still fingering through personal affects in the trunk.
OOC for Marek Friday August 5th, 2005 10:50:08 AM
May be true David, but Marek doesn't know that. If a human started doing that, one would guess he was just trying to BS you.
Justin webber (DM) Combination Lock Friday August 5th, 2005 11:45:25 PM
Mykell looks over the combination lock that Marek has lead them to and shrugs since this is deffinetly not his thing. ------------------------------------------------ Henri looks through the diary he found and finds that it talks about how the thieves were gathered here by Darkbeast. It explains how they went into the woods and robbed and such people on occassions and was lead by Darkbeast since the beginning of the fort being taken by them. It also talks about a priest like character in the fort some place called the Butcher that it seems all or most theives were afraid.
Marek has a good joke pulled on him by Namfoodle and other wise taps and checks the vault door to find it looks to be very sturdy.
Everyone looks to be waiting for Namfoodle to try his luck at the door.
(OOC:Everyone, me and James had some nasty storms roll in last night which kept us from posting. Also I need to know if anyone still has the special ability charts and such I sent out for this game? if so then please email them to me.)
Sir Henri Saturday August 6th, 2005 7:24:42 AM
As the paladin read the book, his face turns pale, he tell Marek, "You should read this book! it seems that we still have one more enermy to go. It tell of a priest like character in here someplace, they called him the is Butcher! That sounds familure, Does it not? Did the thieves in the court yard, say some thing about The Butcher? They were so affraid of Him, that they would rather die than Talk?"
Henri closes the book, takes a deep breath "Let's get on with this serch!" he tells Marek."
Namfoodle d20+5=25 Saturday August 6th, 2005 9:09:20 AM
After laughing himself out he gets up and walks over to the door and begins to check for traps, as he heads over there he wipes small tears from his eyes.(search 25)
Hart(AC 22, 76/82hps, Spirit and Loran Monday August 8th, 2005 4:45:58 AM
Hart doesn't understand humor well.
Sir Henri Monday August 8th, 2005 6:13:01 PM
The paladin tries to explain Humer to Hart, "You see it's like This, Errr! Well it funny and you laugh!"
Henry was suprise that he didn't know what Humor or how to explaint It?.
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Monday August 8th, 2005 9:09:47 PM
Tyal waits and watches as the others go about thier business. He sees nothing as of yet that are for his talents but he does perk up at the mention of a priest in this place or maybe in this place that maybe an enemy. He does vaguely remember a rogue mention his fear of this Butcher, then killed himself.
Sorry, forgot about the potions. Thanks for the reminder.
Marek Isentomb Monday August 8th, 2005 9:17:54 PM
Marek agrees on the talk and thoughts on 'The Butcher' We should definately try and find him, though my guess places him on the other side of vortex."
Marek is not paying much attention to Namfoodle but to the two directions he feels enemies could approach the group. With that thought in mind, "Henri, Tyal let us take up position at the next corner, better eye and ear towards the stairs that way. Fern, Chief and Mykell can keep this end secure."
Marek moves further down the hall.
Justin webber (DM) Combination Lock Monday August 8th, 2005 11:37:42 PM
The group finds out from the diary alittle more about the butcher and somepoele are wondering where he/she maybe located in the place but that is quickly put the the side as a couple split to watch the hallways and Namfoodle checks out the combination lock.
Namfoodle is pretty sure after his search that there is no traps that he can find and that just leaves the combination dial.
Hart Tuesday August 9th, 2005 5:57:11 AM
Hart continues to wait with the others.
Sir Henri Tuesday August 9th, 2005 6:46:10 AM
Henri closes the book, putting it back on the desk, tell Marek "I think that is an excellent idea. I don't think there any more traps, but suprises from behind, makes more sence! I will do that right now!"
The paladin takes up his sword, head for the other end of the hall way, "Are you comming. Tyal?"
fern Wednesday August 10th, 2005 1:42:56 AM
fern waits for the door to be opened. "did we get given a set of keys for the place?"
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Wednesday August 10th, 2005 1:45:03 AM
Tyal nods to Marek and then moves off to take up his position with Henri. He smiles as Henri calls to him and he nods. "Be right there." His morningstar is held loosely in his right hand while his shield is still in his left. "This Butcher should pose a challenge when we find him...don't you think." He engages Henri in conversation as he moves...once in position though he will keep silent.
Mykell Zweihand Wednesday August 10th, 2005 2:42:02 AM
Mykell listens to the various bits of conversation made and shrugs as he looks around, "The Butcher will be just another test of our skill, how hard though is a good question though."
(OOC:I will be making a post later this morning in hopes Namfoodle will get a post in by then. I believe he is the only one with a shake of a chance of opening the vault. I didn't get no comments and haven't been able to get into my mail yet to see, so I hope someone might of had that ability chart and sent it to me.)
Hart Wednesday August 10th, 2005 5:56:12 PM
Hart has nothing to add.
Justin Webber (DM) Combination going slow Thursday August 11th, 2005 12:59:40 AM
People split up and watch the hallways where any enemies could come from and a couple hang back with Namfoodle who is looking for traps and going to take care of the combination lock.
Namfoodle stares at the combination lock though, not moving as if dumb struck by the lock for the moment.
Down both hallways being watched there is no movement though and so far you get the feeling the place must be some what empty.
Sir Henri Thursday August 11th, 2005 7:17:06 AM
The paladin is on guard with Tyal. When they do speak to each other, it is in whispering tones. "I hope we get board here, and face no action." He whispers to Tyal.
Namfoodle the Excited d20+4=10 Thursday August 11th, 2005 11:31:56 AM
(OOC: Sorry things were real hectic in my other game here and I got too caught up with it. Things are at a more normal level of anxiety.)
Namfoodle holds the lock in his hands and thinks to himself,"Something to play with, it's been a long time since I got to take something apart." With a very childlike giggle he heads to a corner and sits ther ewith his back towards the rest of the group.(open lock 10 seeing as how this is a combination lock am I able to take multiple attempts?)
Marek Isentomb Thursday August 11th, 2005 12:02:53 PM
Marek maintains his vigilance, too many men have died from boredom. It seems the enemy always knows how long to wait for those on guard to become idle. He will shout back down the Hall though, "Namfoodle! We are on a kinda timetable here. Don't suppose you're gonna somehow speed things up?"
Hart(AC 22, 76/82hps, Spirit and Loran Thursday August 11th, 2005 4:22:53 PM
"Hurry up, Songsayer."
Justin Webber (DM) Combination lock Friday August 12th, 2005 12:11:11 AM

(Namfoodle, the combination lock is located on the vault and is like one of the big wheel combination locks thats on a vault.) Namfoodle plays with the lock but is unable to get it to open at the moment. From the looks though it is a masterwork lock.
The group is getting abit grumbly about no action showing up but something does start to get your attention.
Rumbling through the halls is a loud rumbling of heavy foot steps coming from down stairs and a deep set of dwarven voice sing as they go, "Crack those skulls, break those legs, thats what grandfather Hammer says....forests are no fun so here we are to crack those skulls, break those legs."

Fern d20+8=23 Friday August 12th, 2005 1:28:12 AM
Fern heads towards the stairs and peeks down to make sure the dwarves are the same group they left in the forest.
If they are she calls out "Hi guys, we're trying to get in a room right now could you help?.....um, have you seen any werewolves lately?"
Namfoodle the Excited d20+4=24 d20+5=18 Friday August 12th, 2005 5:31:58 AM

Sir Henri Friday August 12th, 2005 6:05:17 AM
Sir Henri grabs the little one, and whispers to her,"Fern! What do yoou thinck your doing?? We were trying for a suprise attack! Now they are ready for us!"
OOC: Sorry! Gang! But I just has to post to what Loretta did. That will surely stop the bordum. LOL
Noe back to my shower and getting ready for a whirl wind day....LOL
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Friday August 12th, 2005 3:54:50 PM
Tyal shakes his head and mutters under his breathe. "I think that is some dwarves we left behind." He covers a laugh and then shakes his head again. "Did they not break into song once or twice coming here with that same song?" Tyal does not let his guard down though as they approach...it might not be the same dwarves after all.
Loretta Friday August 12th, 2005 5:15:23 PM
Henri needs to read Fern's posts better.
1. Fern did not call out unless the dwarves where from the group that they left outside the castle.
2. FERN IS A 5'10" HUMAN WOMAN!!!! She's NOT little!
3. If you want me to play a halfling dont worry Justin hasn't posted to Artifact Legends since July 16 and I will be leveling Poppy up to an equlivent level for this game and bring her here. I'm sure you will love to see me play a flying halfling with +8 dex (probably +9 after level up) and I will love playing 2 characters.
Hart Monday August 15th, 2005 6:01:11 AM
The satyr stands waiting with the others, frowning at Fern.
(OOC: I remembered she's human! :))
Justin Webber (DM) Shiny everywhere Monday August 15th, 2005 7:43:28 PM
Mykell looks around and continues to wait while he holds his katana, he feels alittle out of place as there is really nothing going on. ------------------------------------------------ Fern runs to the stairs and looks down to see a troop of 20 dwarves march into that room, all suited up and ready for battle. Some of their weapons even look like they have seen some already and the from dwarf with a graying beard salutes her with a grin, "Hey there lassie. We stomped some good ones down here and found a smithing dwarf which is interesting. Nothing else on the first floor to worry about and me men are checking out the rooms to get ideas for the place." <Fern knows these dwarves to be the ones you traveled here with.)
Namfoodle strikes pay dirt when suddenly after playing with the lock for awhile he hears a few clanks and the vault very heavy vault door swings open to reveal....
Inside the vault is a very large room with a ceiling over 12 ft high. Covering the floor is alot of gold and a large chest sits half open with gems sparkling inside. Also there are a few weapons and some works of arts, carpets, etc of many different types and sizes. From the look you have found the loot the thieves and such have been hoarding for some time. (Okay everyone, listen up before getting really excited here. Most of this treasure is going to set up the fort for your use and some improvements. I will give you the full number come the end of the module which is close.)
Hart Monday August 15th, 2005 8:10:06 PM
"All thees for a stone coffin and some trinkets?!" He says scathingly. "I hate thees place!"
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Tuesday August 16th, 2005 12:38:48 AM
Tyal makes his way over to Hart and lays a hand on the satyr. "I have to agree...I will be happy to get out and see the sky once more." He does glance to the Satyr with another smile. "There was a large open park...I guess that is what you would call it back outside." His eyes light up but you have the sense that he is liking the idea. "It looked a little wild but we maybe able to pretty it up...it would be nice to have soft ground under me at nights once in awhile." This part cleric seems to be ready to leave and get outside as soon as possible, but will not abandon the rest for his own needs.
Hart Tuesday August 16th, 2005 6:09:21 AM
Hart smiles a rare smile and nods to Tyal. "Yes, it would."
Marek Isentomb Tuesday August 16th, 2005 10:14:28 AM
Marek notes the dwarves and returns a salute, "Nice of you to drop in on the party. Vault is cracked, soon as we inventory it we will be heading out."
Marek moves back to the vault, "Nice work on the lock. OK I say we go through take a quick inventory, see if there is anything ghighly useful. Monetary stuff stays of course. I say we then catch a bit of food and rest, prepare spells and all that and then I'll take lead into that portal thingy."
"Problems issues general musings on any of that?"
Fern Tuesday August 16th, 2005 3:23:34 PM "We still need to find the armory and kill the werewolf." Fern says "After that we can go through the portal."
Marek Isentomb Tuesday August 16th, 2005 9:10:29 PM
"Ah yes thank you Fern, quite right, though the werewolf was down.." His sentence trails into thought, "Master Dwarf! you didn't perchance come upon a werewolf and slew him did you?"

Tyal listens and waits as the other make decisions. This is not his area of expertise and he knows it. He is a combat healer and outdoorsman by trade, not a military leader. Not to say that he cannot make decisions on his own just that part of him is use to taking orders and following them.
With another glance to Hart he shakes his head. "I have spent most of my life outside...well except for once I got married but still I worked the farm." His face clouds as he remembers a past taken away from him and what he has lost. "I have always been at one with nature or my goddess...making life grow in many ways and also putting my hand into death as well." Looking back to the satyr he smiles weakly again. "The cycle I think most call it or the natural order of things."

Mykell looks around and also listens to what is going on. He does glance to Hart and nods to him, "Yes, I believe this place will work nice and not all of us have to be inside, infact some outdoors will work well I think also." Mykell thinks of his own home also and finds himself missing it. ------------------------------------------------ The head dwarf spits to the side and shakes his head, "Hmmmm, werewolf ye says. Well we ran into no such animal down there. We checked all rooms but we did come a runn'in when we heard a loud howl outside of the fort ye see."
The dwarf does march over to the vault and taps the heavy door, "Good, solid make, nice nice. Ahh and plenty of treasure for working on the place too. Can't beat that."
One of the dwarves who looks slightly out of place since he is even more dirty but wears more earth colored clothes moves to Hart and grins to him, "Sir, I heard you speak of dat plot of land out back right? Well you see, I was thinking about that and would like to cut the grass down to a nicer, not so wild height and make a small...hmmmmm, hut I believe the word is out there. You see...I ummm, specialize is flower which are hard to grow in mountains."
At the dwarf's comment about flowers a couple of the other dwarves burst out laughing, "Listen to ol' greenie over there. Flowers yet again.....I mean did'ja hear how he made a whole area of the castle covered in flowers with his magic....bah, some dwarf."
The looking over the vault will tke some time and even longer to count up all the gold. The dwarves take a random guess of several 10's of thousands in the treasur vault. Things of more note is... daggers:3 longsword:2 greatsword:1 katana:2 chainmail:4 platemail:2 leather armor:2 potions:10 scrolls:6 ring:2 amulet:3

Namfoodle, continues to study the lock after opening it, for a few minutes.
After a short while he begins to nose around the treasure.
Hart Wednesday August 17th, 2005 10:22:01 AM
The druid also thinks about nature for a minute. "I think I'll be staying een the courtyard most and een the gardens." He doesn't look twice at the treasure.
Fern Wednesday August 17th, 2005 10:35:58 PM
Fern goes and gathers up any weapons, armor, jewelry, potions and scrolls that she finds. "Could someone check if anything of this is magical?"
Hart Thursday August 18th, 2005 5:21:58 AM
He watches on.
Marek Isentomb Thursday August 18th, 2005 11:43:34 AM
Marek Assists Fern in the treasure vault, gathering similar things.
"Hmmm, no werewolf huh? Namfoodle, you got a detect magic right. Amaze and dazzle us, what's what here?"
Tyal [HP: 64/68 AC: 22] Thursday August 18th, 2005 8:39:30 PM
Tyal shakes his head and sees if he can find a chair. Once he has located on he plops it down near the wall and then sets, leaning back one two legs against the wall. "When we decide to rest this day I think I will head out to the garden...have a closer look." He says this to noone and everyone at the same time. More a let you know where I will be kind of thing. He sighs and waits for things to be ended his nose wrinkling a little. "This place needs aired out some."
Justin webber (DM) Treasure Thursday August 18th, 2005 11:02:05 PM
Mykell looks to the others while waiting to see what happens with the treasure and nods before speaking, "It might be a good idea for us all to stick together so why not we all retire to the spot Tyal mentioned once we are done. That also would mean if we had a fight with someone they would have to exit the fort to do so." ------------------------------------------------ Some of the group goes in and gathers together some of the more useful items and now awaits to see if someone might detect magic on them before they get ready to cetch some sleep or rest up before moving on.
The dwar leader looks around abit and thinks before poking a thumb towards the throne room area, "That place should be solid enough for us to hold ourselves up in for now and we can continue on in the morning also."
One of the other dwarves chuckles, "Yep, I can board that door up really nice to make it hard as heck for anyone to come in while we all rest so we should be fine everyone."
The dwarf the others laughed at and called ol' greenie comes over to Hart, "Ummm, may I join all of you in the garden place then please?"
(OOC:I will allow you all to advance to where you plan to make camp and I doubt I need to state you should stick together just incase. Also time for some talking among the group etc. So to advance things abit read on.)
Outside in the garden area when you head out you find that the caravan of elves and a few dwarves who stayed behind, along with the misc others you brough including the very heavy sumo have made camp nearer the fort and also a few elves in light brown colored robes are already in the garden area. From where you stand you can see the weeds and grass are at a more suitable height and the trees look lush and well taken care of also.
(Jay, I'm throwing something in for Hart and his friend to be interested in too.)
In one of the couple trees that surround a small shack which was covered by thick vines and stuff earlier is a small wood looking creature that slightly resembles Hart's little wood wose friend.it doesn't look to be a summoned creature for one of the elven druids either.
Hart, Spirit and Loran Friday August 19th, 2005 10:17:43 AM
Hart approaches the woodland friend and speaks kindly to it in sylvan. Spirit jumps down from the hood and hides behind Hart's leg. 'Hello friend. Are you lost?'
