Milo grimaces as the skull bites down, and as his muscles begin to lock up from paralysis, the halfling gives himself a whole body shake. Clicking his heals, he uses the momentum and speed from the boots to maintain his assault, and gives a feral scream as he strikes back once more. (OOC: Made Save DC 27 to avoid paralysis. Hit ACs 33, 31, and 29 for 16, 10, and 13 hit points damage respectively. Total damage is 39 hps.)

K'Nara stumbles, almost falling as a wave of weakness seems to sap the strength from her body. Poison...no doubt from the noxious green clouds she'd been caught in with the rest of the group.
She manages to reel away even as the newest of the injected poison does its best to still the blade singer's dance. (OOC: K'Nara made her Fort save at 30; she has moved away from the skulls to D10.)
After taking the five-foot step away from her attackers, K'Nara immediately casts Cure Moderate Wounds on herself, feeling some of her strength seep back. (OOC: made her Spell Failure check at 37 and heals 24hp damage so that she now has 89hp for next round.)

The wave rips through Gunther like a rag doll (Will=5). Smoldering and tattered, the warrior watches as the Collector approaches. "You vill not touch her you stinking maggot! I von't let you touch her!!" Whipping his sword out, Gunther tries a tactic he once saw used by a drow. Tilting his blade ever so slightly, he angles it in below where the Collector's boney hand hold his staff. Then with a twist, the agile warrior pops the blade back like a lever, attempting to wrench the staff from the Collector's hands. (OOC: Disarm attack. Used hero point to roll a 33. According to the (new rules), the Collector must take 10, so unless his attack modifer is a 23, Gunther's attack succeeds. But in case it's needed, his Reflex save is 21).
Olana (AC 27 52/69) d20+11=30 Friday June 9th, 2006 6:04:58 PM
Olana frowns, as the Collector rises out of the floor. He looks funny and distorted as her eyes are still watering. Then suddenly something makes her whisper "Owwww...." She scrambles to stay behind Gunther.
(I'm assuming at this point I'm hit with that spell. Not sure if the enemycan see me or not after quaffing that potion. Made save. 17 dam)
Jan, it is obvious, even in Olana's state, that the icky Collector can see you. Its not so clear whether the skulls can though. ~ ADM Jay B

Lian casts a spell and moves to meet his target.
Olana feels pain from something.
Ingrge's rays dissolve around S3.
Bertram's pillar of holy descends upon the Collector with few results. (I'm confused as to where this extra 36 damage is coming from. Please explain.)
Milo slips his nut and screams manically at the skull.
Knara is nearly fallen by weakness but manages to fight out of it. The red-head moves away to D10 and heals.
Gunther is struck by pain, but continues on, attempting to take the staff from its owner.
Falin slumps to the floor. (Was Con damage calculated into your current hit points?)
--------------------------- S1 attacks Bertram. (AC 32, for 14 damage, and make a fort save DC 24 vs paralysis)
S2 falls to pieces. DEAD

S7 loses sight of Falin when he falls and sees another elf approach from behind, taking an attack of opportunity. (AoO on Lian, AC 32, missing)
S8 strikes out at the monk. (AC 26, missing)
The Collector receives a shock when his staff is suddenly clattering toward and stops at the Weaponmage's feet. Then it moves to J10 to position himself to retrieve his staff. The Collector then casts a spell at Ingrge. (Maximize Scorching Ray, SR 34 rolled, Touch AC 17, 29 and 21, missing once, hitting twice for 48 fire damage)[Rolled reflex of 35, he takes 36 damage.

"Falin?! Falin. Can you hear me?" He looks to the elf to see if he needs healing or something else.

Once again, the red-headed blade singer's phenomenal fortitude comes to her rescue as the poison of the skull attempts to overwhelm her circulatory system--she manages to fight off paralysis. (OOC: made her Fort save with 39.)
K'Nara takes another five-foot-step to E11 and whirls her blade at skull S6, determined to hack her bony foe to pieces with deadly elven precision...(OOC: first attack hits AC33 for 14hpd and 3hp fire damage; second attack hits AC29 for 16hpd and 4hp fire damage.)

Breathing a sigh of relief, Gunther whispers "Heilen" and there is a light glow. A few of the warrior's wounds close shut. "Lian...look out! Dat ting is right by you!! Ingrge...his staff is behind you look...out!" Gunther screams as the rays rip into the weapons mage. Maintaining a defensive stance in front of Olana, Gunther reaches into his backpack and pulls out the Holy axe. "I'm going to give you von more chance...but if you fail me dis time..." With a snap of his fingers, his two-bladed sword disappears into his glove.

(OOC2: Ingrge's touch AC is 23 10 base,+ 7dex, +3dodge (staff)+2 ring(deflection)+1 boots - so only one ray would strike him)
Ingrge staggers back momentarily as the scorching ray strikes him. Hearing Gunther and the clattering of the staff, Ingrge reaches down and picks it up.(free action) As ingrge feels the power of the staff begin to effect him, he know he could absolutely control everything in this room if he so desired and was willing to give up his soul. Fighting the powerful desire for ultimate power, Ingrge Reaches into his robe pocket and pulls out a brown gem throwing it to the ground shattering it. In its place forms a large earth elemental. Ingrge hands it the staff and tells it to bury it in stone somewhere at least 200 feet below ground where it can not be easily gotten to, and then it is free to go.

Satisfied that the skull will move no more, Milo clicks his heels, and quickly makes his way across the battlefield, circling between Ingrge and Bertram to end up standing next to the Collector (I10), a grim smile on his face. Without preamble, Milo lashes out at his enemy. (OOC: Hit AC 32 for 13 hps damage)

Lian steps to one side, calls out to Falin, and attacks S7.
Olana is virtually stunned at all the activity.
Ingrge is hit once by the ray. When the weapon mage picks up the staff, he feels its immense power and great evil. The drain in even touching the artifact is nearly overbearing. The mage breaks a gem and hands the staff off to the earth elemental. The elemental obeys the command. The elemental descends into the stone from K7. One last moan comes from the staff as it pulled into the earth.
Bertram heals the entire party(25 points) and harms several skulls.
Milo moves to attack the Collector.
Knara overcomes the poison then adjusts for better position on S6. Both attacks land true on the bony skull.
Gunther seems to getting anxious. He heals himself, calls out to Lian and talks to his axe.
Falin remains paralyzed.

The Collector is less than happy to see the elemental appear and be handed the staff. He's even more surprised a couple of seconds later to see his staff descend into the rock. The Collector casts Extended Hold Person Mass (I need a Will save DC 28 from everyone. SR 22)[Concentration check 39]
Then he follows it up with a fast Fireball 18 inches off the floor. (I need a from everyone, except Falin, DC 22 Reflex for half of 40 damage, SR 33)[Remember, if your effected by the Hold Person, you get no Reflex for the Fireball][Concentration check 41]
Milo gets an AoO versus the Collector.
The bony Collector then steps backwards into the stone wall.[K11]

Ingrge smirks a bit as the elemental and the staff disappear into the floor. and then suddenly he finds that his body is starting to move sluggishly and not want to respond.will DC27) Refusing to believe that he can be held by someone as evil as this he fights the spell with everything he has and somehow manages to break free from the spell before it had completely held him (rerolled will save, used hero point DC34).
Just as he breaks free from the spell the scarred elf feels the need to move and does so rapidly moving toward the collector avoiding some of the fireball. flex DC 30)
As he comes to a stop he drops another brown gem on to the floor watching as another earth elemental forms. Pointing to the wall where the collector diapeared Ingrge tells the elemental to destroy a ten foot wide part of the wall where the lich sank in.

Now that he's back in fighting shape, Gunther is about to head over and give the Collector the butt whooping of his life when he notices that his feet won't move...come to think of it, nothing moves (Will=7)! The big cat tamer can do nothing but just stand there as the fireball burns his face and arms and heats his armor. He stands frozen, internally fuming that yet again there is a fight and he isn't in it.

Olana goes into a defensive fetal position.
Ingrge waves off the hold person spell and dodges the fireball. He then summons another elemental to destroy the wall. The elemental obediently moves to the wall.

Ingrge takes a moment and focuses the eagles to attack S3, and turns the elemental to focus on S4 (free actions)
And then finally noticing that the Lich has moved to the far side of the room and away from the rest of the party, targets a fireball centered on the wall behind the lich. After casting the spell Ingrge takes a five foot step back to the top right corner of K8.

Fury builds inside of Milo at the Collector's taunts, and the halfling grabs onto that fury, using it as an anchor for his will to move. Then with a quick tap of his heels, he breaks the enchantment and charges (E2) the Collector, swinging wildly. (OOC: Used 5 hero points for an additional +10 [total +20] to break the hold at a DC 32.

Bertram angles his way in between Gunther and the worst of the fight around him as he swings twice at the skulls facing him. He orders the archon to do something different this time. He orders it to attack the collector yet again, knowing that it would miss. But orders it to hang right in the collectors face glowing as brightly as possible, hopefully creating quite a distraction.
(OOC Hits AC 29 and 30 for 33 points damage)
Falin (21/51 hps) Wednesday June 14th, 2006 10:56:08 PM

Lian destroys S8 and moves onto S1, dropping it as well.
Olana remains huddled in a ball. [With chaos around you, make a Spot check please. Your just laying there.]
Ingrge summons several celestial eagles. They attack S3 and the elemental attacks S4. Then the mage casts a fireball behind the Collector and moves. [Kent, are you sure you want to do that, the table where Olana's box resides very close by?]
Bertram turns to his opponent just as Lian drops it. [Mark, you may change your action if you wish.]
The archon attempts to distract the Collector.
Milo forcebly breaks the held and rushes the Collector, striking hard. [I think Milo should make a save vs Ingrge's fireball.]
Knara dances a bit, blood clashing terribly with her hair. She manages to obliterate the skull.
Gunther is Held. He struggles to get free and is getting a headache.

Brother Bertram Thursday June 15th, 2006 1:04:38 PM
As the Archon moves to hover in the Collector's face, Bertram moves swiftly on him attacking as hard and fast as possible. He makes sure he is between the Collector and the box, forcing some sort of action from the creature.
(Lian use the attacks from the previous round as applicable-keeping in mind the undead/chaotic effects from the axe if they are hits please. Bertram's main concern is placing himself in the Collectors path.

Burned badly, Milo screams his defiance, "You won't get away that easily." Clicking his heels, Milo steps toward the Collector, and hoping to end this conflict once and for all, becomes a blur of blade and fury. (OOC: 5-foot step to hit ACs 37, 41, and 35 for 15, 14, and 10 hit points respectively. Total damage is 39 hit points.)

Closer and ever closer dangles the spider. In what seems like an eternity, but is actually mere seconds, the creepy crawly finishes its decent and lands on the warrior's nose. Since the rest of the fight is now at Gunther's back, all he can do is listen to the sounds of metal clashing and spellcasting as eight tiny legs shuffle this way and that on his skin.

K'Nara dodges the attack of the single skull left to her, taking a five-foot-step back to F11 on the map.
While on a momentary respite from a direct attack by S5, the blade singer casts Cure Moderate Wounds on herself, causing some of her wounds to close up a bit. (OOC: makes her Spell Failure check with 53; heals up 20hp on herself.)

"Pretty little box. This will make a nice mantle piece in the Queen's Chamber. I will have the skull some day." He picks up the box and caresses it lovingly, looking right at Milo. "It must mean something to you... that lump of flesh over there *The Collector gestures absently towards Olana*... you fight like you nothing to live for little man. Perhaps you don't." He sneers. "Aw, I see. It is.... love? How.... quaint. Primative. Flesh bag feelings."

ADM to Bert, yes you did specify in general positioning, however, the square is occupied by the Lich and table. The positioning would be awkward to say the least, if not impossible.
So for Bert's placement, but I placed you closest to where you would be, save being ontop of the 3' tall table. BTW, the table has only about 18 inch by 18 inch top surface and likely couldn't support one of Bert's size by the looks of the legs.

Skitter, skitter, skitter. Gunther strains to concentrate on the battle going on behind him (Listen=13) but it's tough with his new companion exploring his nasal cavity. Did the Collector just say something about love?? An overwhelming urge to pick his nose competes with the desire to smash the boney freak as soon as he is freed from the spell holding him.

Breathing heavily, K'Nara turns and sees how the battle has developed after S5 moves off to aid the Collector.
Gunther is a living statue, Held by magic. She can't help him.
However, Falin is on the floor, paralyzed by poison. It IS possible she can help the elf.
K'Nara rushes over to the fallen sharpshooter, falling to her knees as she orders Lucia to flame off. She shrugs off her backpack and rummages through it, looking for and finding an innocuous-looking bag.
"I have one in here, I just know it!" the bladesinger mutters, opening the bag and, again, rummaging through the contents. "There's a restorative in here somewhere...after this is over, remind me to get one of those backpacks that has whatever you need immediately come to your hand whenever you stick your hand in it..."

Though he has absolutely no idea how, Gunther miraculously shrugs off the magic holding him in place (Will=nat. 20!!). Taking a massive breath, Gunther snorts his unwanted acquaintance halfway across the room. Looking over at the barking Olana, Gunther raises his eyebrows questioningly. "Vat is it Olana? Do you hear someting?" Hearing a noise outside the door, Gunther barks out a warning to the others. "Sounds like vere going to have company soon!"(Listen=17)

"Swallow...hopefully this may counteract the poison that keeps your muscles still..." she bids the sharpshooter, holding the bottle to his lips and very carefully pouring the contents into his mouth for him to drink.

Everyone can hear the barking over Olana now. The sounds are like that of wolves on the hunt. They seem to be throwing themselves at the door. (Reminder, the door is covered with a layer of stone.)
Lian continues his assault. (Looks as if the skull is crumbling.)
Olana begins barking in response to the sounds she hears.
Ingrge finally kills his skull. The elemental has not returned. The eagle miss. (Kent, I am rolling the % for the Blink. A failure is 80% or higher.)

Lian (AC 36(37 vs S5), -4/55 hps, -4 Con, paralyzed) d20+13=19 d4=4 Tuesday June 20th, 2006 3:41:57 PM
The monk screams as he's torn through the middle. (fort save failed 19, -4 Con)
The monk goes ridged and blood begins to pool under him. (Lucky hit!)
Gunther (AC 30, HP70/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) d20+5=18 2d8(3+5)+3=11 Wednesday June 21st, 2006 12:40:10 AM
Gunther catches Lian's fall out of the corner of his eye. He turns to the newly arrived Bertram. "Broder, Lian is down. I can guard de door. Lian needs you."
Gunther looks over at the barking Olana. "Go to K'nara. She'll take care of you."
Making sure that Olana heads his instruction, Gunther takes up a position beside the door (E12). As he does, he mutters something under his breath. There is a brief glow, and some of the warrior's wounds heal up (Brahmah's tattoo...last use).

(umm, I'm not sure how a 50% chance of something converts into rolling 80 or above - that is a 20% chance?)
Taking a moment for himself, Ingrge reaches into his haversack and pulls out a poition and drinks it right down. (cure serious 25 points) He then concentrates on the elemental to see what's going on there.

Milo continues his onslaught, attacking the final skull. (OOC: Hit AC 32 and 33 for 14 and 12 hit points damage. Total damage is 26 hit points.)
Olana (AC27 54/69) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 11:21:29 AM
Olana stops mid-bark, and blinks at the now moving Gunther. The command overrides her confusion, and she stands and heads off toward K'Nara.
Falin AC 24 (21/52 hp) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 1:45:10 PM
Falin begins to get feeling back into his extremities and stretches as he stands. Seeing the combat going on around him and knowing he has no effect on the skulls he moves to face the door.
He pulls his bow from his quiver and knocks a metal tipped arrow.
Brother Bertram AC 28 HP 79 4d8(2+8+7+1)+11=29 Wednesday June 21st, 2006 1:51:59 PM
Bertram rushes to Lian and lays his hands on hurriedly. "You will not die!" Bertram prays fervently for healing for his companion.

K'Nara grins in relief as Falin gets to his feet, then scowls when she sees that Lian is down and a rather-rocky-looking Milo is taking on the skull.
The bladesinger draws her sword once more, standing up as she does so.
"Lucia!" she says with determination, then charges at S5, lifting her sword high...
(OOC: K'Nara's attack hits AC35 for 12hpd and 4hp fire damage.)
Damage done... (ADM Jay B) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 6:03:45 PM
The last skull flies apart, thanks to Milo, just as Knara nearly collides with the wall of force.
Bertram snatches Lian from the jaws of death.
Falin is mobile.
Gunther is standing guard.
Ingrge's elemental finally returns, slightly beaten, but otherwise fine. It returns to his side, extends a narled stone hand and opens it. On its palm lies the box, slightly crushed, and hands it to Ingrge. The earth elemental, almost expecting the command, moves to the stone covered door and waits... like some stone doorman beside Gunther.
The chamber in shambles, the Talons once again thrwart an evil plan... or have they. Whats beyond that door? What awaits them? Will they be able to restore Olana's soul? Will they find this Wayfarers Inn that is safe from the denizens of the realm? Will they find their way home? We shall see.
(OOC: Its been fun. Sorry about the mistakes, I often misread things when in a hurry.
I will now turn the game back to Donna.)
Lian (AC 36, 25/(31)55 hps, -4 Con) Wednesday June 21st, 2006 6:06:16 PM
Broken, the monk opens his eyes and smirks, but says nothing.
Brother Bertram AC28 HP 79 d20+6=25 Wednesday June 21st, 2006 11:03:25 PM
Relieved that Lian is recovering, and seeing the others stirring, Bertram begins checking the stonework looking for a hidden way to get the door open.
(OOC Search roll DC 25)
Ingrge Thursday June 22nd, 2006 12:42:55 AM
Turning to Milo Ingrge holds out the box.
"Do you want to keep this safe for now?"
"Turning back to the elemental, Ingrge only shakes his head. That is only a last resort. I want you to follow us and fill in the tunnel I am about to created behind us. But first I need you to show me the best place to start burrowing so that we may escape from this building complex."
After the elemental lets Ingrge know where, he addresses his party members.
"Ok guys and gals we are getting out of here. I am about to change into something big and ugly, so you might want to stand back a bit. Follow me as closely as you can. Milo take care of Olana, K'nara, Gunther and Bertam bring up the rear. The elemental will be filling the tunnel in behind us, so it will be dark."
That said, Ingrge sheathes his staff and begins casting. Moments later Ingrge begins to elongate and change colors. Through the undulations you begin to see what is forming and you start to wonder if your mage has lost his mind, when suddenly it is over. Coiled around the room, pushing some of you to the side, is a 40 foot long, 5 foot in diameter Purple Worm. Moving toward the southeast wall Ingrgeworm begins munching downward into the floor.
Gunther (AC 30, HP70/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Thursday June 22nd, 2006 12:53:59 AM
Feeling more than a little irritated that he didn't really contribute to this fight either, Gunther rolls his eyes at Ingrge's transformation. Show off! He looks over toward K'nara to gauge the impact on her. He also watches carefully to see how the pesky Collector reacts, itching to get back into a fight with the pesky bone bag. Likewise, he pays careful attention to the noises at the door, waiting to attack should the werewolves appear.
Lian Thursday June 22nd, 2006 12:00:08 PM
"Ingrge, you've never looked better!" Snickers the monk.
Falin Thursday June 22nd, 2006 1:18:48 PM
Watching the worm begin to chew, Falin falls in behind him and follows.
Exit, Stage...Down..? - DM Donna Thursday June 22nd, 2006 1:27:38 PM
K'Nara makes a fist and angrily strikes the Wall of Force as she realizes that the final skull is destroyed by Milo and that the Collector has escaped--however, upon seeing Ingrge's elemental return with the box, she grins once more.
"Who needs healing..?" she asks. "I have a few healing spells left..."
DM OOC: the party should consider itself still in combat mode and take advantage of any healing magicks/potions that may be available.
Upon Ingrge's transformation, the bladesinger's eyes widen, then she comments with a straight face:
"Ingrge, I do believe that purple is your color!"
DM OOC: please clarify if Ingrge is tunneling down through the floor or through a wall. I'd appreciate it as well if you happened to post which of the eight basic compass points the tunnel will be traveling in.
Milo (hp 14/78) Thursday June 22nd, 2006 6:10:23 PM
Milo gingerly takes the box from Ingrge's hands, and almosts whispers his reply with wide eyes, "Thank you Ingrge." He then steps back from the elf wizard holding tightly onto the box. "I could use some healing about now." Milo perks up. "Anybody have an idea what we do with the box?"
Gunther (AC 30, HP70/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Thursday June 22nd, 2006 11:51:30 PM
With a low growl, Gunther prepares to take up the rear as he mummbles something about "showy mages".
Looking over at Milo, Gunther blushes. "I'm sorry, I don't have any more healing, but I do have dis scroll of stone skin. If you vant it you can have it."
Olana (AC27 54/69) Friday June 23rd, 2006 12:37:26 AM
Having wandered over to K'Nara, the baffled elf watches K'Nara and immediately follows suit. She slams her fist against the wall of force and says - "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
((OOC - my last post till Sunday, folks - racing weekend.))
Falin AC 24 (21/52 hp) -2 Con damage Friday June 23rd, 2006 7:16:50 AM
"I hate to bother, but I could use some healing. I am also still feeling a little tepid from the fumes."
OOC: Does the Con damage still apply? Just checking
Lian (AC 36, 25/(31)55 hps, -4 Con) Friday June 23rd, 2006 8:42:55 AM
(Donna, Falin and Lian both have Con damage. I believe we both need restorations, correct?)
Lian follows behind Olana and Milo, watching Ingrge dig.
Details, Details - DM Donna d100=50 2d8(8+5)+8=21 Friday June 23rd, 2006 8:48:08 AM
K'Nara sighs--they have to get Olana restored to her rightful self soon. Then she concentrates on casting a spell with Milo as the recipient.
(OOC: K'Nara gets 50 on her Spell Failure check; her resulting Cure Moderate Wounds spell heals up 21hp for Milo.)
"I have potions as well..." the leader of the Talons says, turning off the magic flames of her sword, sheathing it and then scooping up her backpack. She hands a potion of Cure Serious Wounds to both Milo and Falin, as well as giving Gunther a bottle of Cure Moderate Wounds and then handing Lian a bottle of Lesser Restoration.
"I believe I have something in here that may help us with that box..." K'Nara adds, continuing to rummage through her backpack.
Ingrge's purple worm form is beginning to follow the tunnel he is digging out for the Talons.
The earth elemental is still by the stone-sealed door, which still has the sound of baying canines on the other side of it.
DM OOC: the Lesser Restoration removed the Con damage from Falin, as it will remove the Con damage from Lian. Any HP lost due to lowered Con is restored.
Falin AC 24 (52/52 hps) 2d8(5+8)+8=21 Friday June 23rd, 2006 9:19:46 AM OOC: Sweet
Falin takes a long drink from the potion and finishes it off with a hearty sigh. 21 hp.
"Thanks for the help, from everyone I mean, I know I received some healing while I was laying on the ground as well."
Falin falls back behind the worm again as it muches away.
Brother Bertram AC 28 HP 79 Friday June 23rd, 2006 1:01:16 PM
Bertram flinches as K'nara goes about healing the party with the healing draughts she has saved. He feels that he has let the group down being unable to heal them all properly. He prays for a way to make it up to all of them.
Ingrge Friday June 23rd, 2006 10:13:03 PM
Chomp chomp chomp
Gunther (AC 30, HP70/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Saturday June 24th, 2006 1:47:05 AM
Taking the potion from K'nara, Gunther offers it as well as the Stoneskin scroll to Milo. "I don't need dese as much as you. Take dem if you vant." Then he dutifully follows behind the others, guarding the rear.
Almost Ready - DM Donna Saturday June 24th, 2006 2:00:15 AM DM OOC: Cure Serious Wounds potions heal up 3d8+6hp of damage.
K'Nara--noticing Bertram's slightly slumped stance--places a hand on one of his shoulders, squeezing in a supportive way.
"Now, now, good Brother, don't think that you've failed anyone--on the contrary, your actions helped saved us as a whole! Be proud of yourself, sir...we couldn't have outlasted that blasted undead Collector if it hadn't been for you and your magic!" The leader of the Talons doesn't move from Bertram's side until she sees that the dwarf is at least willing to listen to her opinion of his conduct during the battle. "Why, I was missing the skulls I was striking at more than hitting them..! At least you were helping everyone in the party!"
K'Nara rummages about within her backpack once again and then comes up with a scroll.
"Here, now--let's open that box...I've a feeling that there's something within it that belongs to Olana..." The bladesinger unfurls the vellum with a snap and begins to read the spell scribed upon it: the Knock spell.
Meanwhile, Ingrge the purple worm has burrowed a total of 40 feet through the ground.
Falin Saturday June 24th, 2006 7:45:38 AM
"I will second that Bertram. I know I would have been sunk if it hadn't been for you and your healing. I felt the ebb and flow of my life almost fade several times, but something always brought me back. I now know it was you."
Falin walks over and gives Bertram and hearty pat on the back.
"I only hope I can return the favor at some point."
Brother Bertram Saturday June 24th, 2006 8:00:58 AM
Bertram nods gratefuly to his friends and prepares for the coming battles, hoping he can still be a boon. He begins praying fervently.
(OOC Bert is praying to get back one 6th level spell Donna-let me know)
Lian (AC 36, 25/(31)55 hps, -4 Con) d8+1=9 Saturday June 24th, 2006 10:48:11 AM
The hand of Domi retrieves his wand of cure light and prods Gunther.
"Anyone else?"
(heals 9)
"OH!" He then begins digging in his pockets frantically. "Ointment, ointment..."
Milo (hp 56/78) 3d8(1+7+7)+6=21 Saturday June 24th, 2006 12:09:35 PM
Milo quietly thanks K'nara for the healing and the potion, and immediately drinks it. When K'nara produces the scroll, Milo holds the box up for her inspection. (OOC: 21 hit points from the potion in addition to the other spell.)
Gunther (AC 30, HP79/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Monday June 26th, 2006 10:34:24 AM
Noting that Milo is a bit distracted at the moment and does not notice his offers, Gunther tucks his potion and scroll back in his backpack, figuring they might be best to save for later. He smiles at Lian "Tanks!" Then he looks over at K'nara watching her at work with the spell. With a smile, he waits to see what might be in the box.
Lian (AC 36, 25/(31)55 hps, -4 Con) Monday June 26th, 2006 1:15:55 PM
"Your welcome." He continues digging in the pocket.
Olana Monday June 26th, 2006 8:38:30 PM
Olana peers over K'Nara's shoulder, understanding nothing. But she'd been told to stay by K'nara, and that is precisely what she was doing.
Digging It - DM Donna d20+8=28 Monday June 26th, 2006 11:39:52 PM DM OOC: Lian's Con damage should be all gone now--assuming he drank that Lesser Restoration potion K'Nara gave him two rounds ago.
Brother Bertram meditates thoroughly, but naught but the vast, empty space where he would normally feel the resonating courage and dedication of Domi, as well as the nobility and peace radiated by Gargul. Instead, there is...
...nothing.
K'Nara, meanwhile reads off the Knock spell, gesturing at the box in Milo's hands--which bursts open with an audible "pop". (DM OOC: woot...K'Nara got a 20!)
Inside the box are a silver charm bracelet...and a large red gem that seems to glow...
Now that the box is open, Olana is filled with the overwhelming compulsion to seize the gem within the box. She must have that gem...and she must have it now...
Falin Tuesday June 27th, 2006 5:08:25 AM
Falin watches in anticipation as events unfold before him.
Lian Tuesday June 27th, 2006 7:57:54 AM
(OOC: I believe that the potion was given to Falin.)
Lian finds the restorative ointments and looks at the tin. "Will these restore poison damage, Bertram?"
Olana d20+12=26 d20+3=6 Tuesday June 27th, 2006 1:03:19 PM
(Rolled a melee attack to grab the gem, AC26. Str check to push past K'Nara, 6! lol)
As soon as the box is fully opened, Olana's arm shoots forward with lightning speed, the rest of her trying to push K'Nara out of the way, and her hand tries desperately to grab for the gem.
Brother Bertram AC 28 HP 84 Tuesday June 27th, 2006 2:05:05 PM
Bertram eyes the ointments. "They will heal the damage he sustained but they will not remove poison from a person's body."
Milo (hp 56/78) Tuesday June 27th, 2006 9:26:33 PM
Milo stands silently staring at the contents of the box, wondering how they might help them in their current plight.
Gunther (AC 30, HP79/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Tuesday June 27th, 2006 10:23:56 PM
Gunther looks over at stuff in the box. Noting Olana's grab for the jewel, Gunther grabs a hold of her. "Vait Miss Olana. Let Miss K'nara make sure it's safe first." Glancing over at K'nara, he says "Dat ting vas von of dos litches, right? Den could von of dese tings be von of dose phila... fela...oh, you know vat I mean. And if it is, isn't dat ting going to come after us to get it back?"

Finders Keepers - DM Donna d20+11=27 Wednesday June 28th, 2006 2:00:39 AM
K'Nara reaches into the box, squinting and peering very carefully at the gem as she very cautiously picks it up.
"Actually..." the bladesinger says as she turns the glowing gem over in her hand, "...I'm pretty sure that THIS is Olana's...as well as the bracelet..." (OOC: K'Nara made a Spellcraft check at 27 to recognize the gem as the component in a Magic Jar spell.)
K'Nara gives the gem to Olana and watches the elf maid closely as she does so...
Meanwhile Ingrge the purple worm's tunnel is now about 80' long...and Ingrge is starting to take up less space within the circular chamber as he begins to follow his own tunnel.
Lian Wednesday June 28th, 2006 3:05:29 PM
"I'll just save them." He puts back the ointments.
Lian continues on. "Ingrge won't need to eat for days."
Olana (AC27 54/69) Wednesday June 28th, 2006 4:24:58 PM
Olana's fingers curl around the gem... ... ... ... "I don't - " She looks around at everyone, then takes in her surroundings, and then shakes her head. "How did I - ?" Milo! - No, Wait - was that a purple worm? Crows nests I'm going to throw up.. She takes a step back, breathing hard.
Milo (hp 56/78) Wednesday June 28th, 2006 5:32:27 PM
Seeing the effect of the gem on Olana, and recognizing the bracelet as the one he gave her, the rogue removes it from the box. Eyes wide and hands shaking, he drops the empty box, and stepping forward, places the bracelet back on the wrist of his love. "Thank the gods," Milo whispers in sincere reverence.
Falin Wednesday June 28th, 2006 9:11:12 PM
Falin continues to watch Olana ans lets out a sigh of relief. He glances back and forth between the purple worm, the attackers trying to get through the stone door, and Olana.
Gunther (AC 30, HP79/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Wednesday June 28th, 2006 10:18:36 PM
Gunther looks over at Olana and smiles in relief. Then, hearing the continuing scratching at the door... "It is nice to see Miss Olana back, but ve need to get out of here before dose volves get in here."
Time Is No Object - DM Donna d100=93 d8+8=16 d100=30 d8+8=15 d100=39 d8+8=16 d100=84 d8+8=10 Thursday June 29th, 2006 2:31:28 AM
K'Nara sighs with relief...the gem had, indeed, housed Olana's soul--and the elf was now herself again.
"All right...I'm using the last of the healing spells I have..." she says, casting one spell after another:
Milo is healed for 16hp.
Olana is healed for 15hp.
Gunther is healed for 16hp.
K'Nara's final spell targets Lian (if he still needs it), healing 10hp.
DM OOC: Lian received K'Nara's secondLesserRestoration potion, thus eradicating the Con damage done by the poison in his system.
In the time it takes the blade singer to use up what little magic she had left, the tunnel being dug by Ingrge the purple worm is 160' long.
"We've been in this foul pit long enough!" K'Nara says, kicking one of the now-unanimated skulls across the chamber. "Let's follow Ingrge OUT of this place!"
So saying, she descends into the dark, sloping passage carved out by the polymorphed weapon mage, uttering "Lucia!" and lighting the way with her flaming sword...
Lian (AC 36, 38/55 hps) d8+1=3 Thursday June 29th, 2006 10:38:00 AM
The monk looks confused at first when Olana grasps the gem, then the elf smiles broadly realizing what has occurred. "About blessed time! Better than never." He clasps the elf maiden's shoulder and releases just as quickly.
He bends down, grabbing the semi-crushed empty box and pockets it, muttering something about '...coming in handy later.'
Then he retrieves his wand and taps himself with it again. (heals 3)
Falin Thursday June 29th, 2006 11:02:31 AM
With a big smile on his face, Falin walks over and gives Olana a big hug. "It is nice to have more than your shell around." He says to her.
Giving her one last squeeze Falin approaches the makeshift tunnel and waits at the entrance. He turns and faces the stone door with his bow raised. Just in case.
"Anyone know how much time we have left till this hunt is over?"
Brother Bertram AC 28 HP 84 Thursday June 29th, 2006 1:34:35 PM
Bertram openly grins his delight as Olana stirs. "Well met indeed, Friend Olana!" Bertram says a silent prayer of thanks to Gargul and Domi and for guidance in the coming battles.
Olana (AC27 69/69) Thursday June 29th, 2006 9:06:18 PM
Olana watches Milo replace the bracelet on her hand, then gives him a tight hug. "I don't know where I've been," she whispers. She's still baffled as Lian shakes her shoulder and Falin gives her a big hug, which she returns. What was that about shells? She gives a thankful nod to K'Nara, Gunther and Bertram. Figuring most things will eventually slot into place, she does what the others appear to be doing, which is leaving this awful place. A final glance around, and she hurls what's left of the gem, hard into the wall. "That worm is Ingrge?" she asks, moving out.
Gunther (AC 30, HP94/94), Bless, Bless Oil (on Sword) Thursday June 29th, 2006 10:42:11 PM
Blushing at Olana's nod, Gunther fixes his eyes firmly on K'nara. "De hunt..." Gunther growls. "Ve either need to find that Vander's place, or ve need to vait until it's finished, right? Couldn't ve just have Ingrge dig a nice cave for us vith a air hole and just vait dis ting out?" Gunther asks hopefully as he listens to the scratching noises echoing down the tunnel.
Waiting It Out - DM Donna Friday June 30th, 2006 2:28:48 AM
K'Nara fishes out a potion bottle and hands it off.
"Pass this to Lian, please..?" she says as they all follow Ingrge the purple worm. (OOC: Lian may drink from the Cure Moderate Wounds potion. It will heal 2d8+4hp.)
"While holing up in a room sounds like a logical choice, Gunther," K'Nara replies to the trainer of large cats, "That...that Collector person wasn't beaten by us--he left...THROUGH the wall. He can just as easily come back the same way--and gods-know-WHAT he'll bring with him." She shook her head and sighed.
"Tough as it is, our only hope is for us to use all our skill to keep several steps ahead of the hunting party long enough for the end of the Grand Hunt." She looks back at the others trailing her.
"I'm open to any other suggestions, though..."

(heal 17)
Looking at Olana, "Yup, thats Ingrge. Looks good doesn't he?" The monk smiles.
Milo (hp 72/78) Friday June 30th, 2006 9:14:51 AM
Gazing up at Olana,"Y-y-y-you've been here... mostly, but not. You've not been here with us up here." Milo gently taps the side of his own head. Then remembering that the Collector may still be about, he looks about venomously. "K'nara's right, we should be on our way. There is that vampire lady and her pack of werewolves to deal with... that is if they find us again."
Falin AC 26 (52/52 hps) Friday June 30th, 2006 12:09:34 PM
"Is there a way to make a barricade behind us as we tunnel? That way it would be harder for them to follow."
Falin waits until everyone else has entered the tunnel and then continues down behind, glancing over his shoulder looking for company.
Brother Bertram AC 28 HP 84 Friday June 30th, 2006 3:27:24 PM
Bertram lags back with Falin keeping an eye, to make sure they are not taken unawares from behind.
Lian (detect evil) d20+19=22 d20+3=12 Saturday July 1st, 2006 10:18:38 AM
The monk closes his eyes, listening(Listen 22) as he walks for awhile, touching the wall.
He grasps his holy symbol of Domi with his free hand and prays that they get out of this claustrophobic tunnel. Then he takes out a scroll of detect evil and casts. (concentration 12) He looks around.
Olana (AC27 69/69) Monday July 3rd, 2006 2:28:29 AM
Olana looks a little puzzled at Milo's explanation, as she tries to figure things out in her own head. Something floats to the surface. "Well, looks like things are okay now," she tells him with a smile. "Okay, let's go."
As they move along the tunnel, she moves till she's alongside K'Nara and says quietly - "I think Figment is lost somewhere. It's probably not the best time to discuss it, but I don't know if I'll remember later. " She shrugs. "I saw him do some magic, but it seemed to swallow him up."
Gunther (AC 30, HP94/94) Monday July 3rd, 2006 9:16:49 AM
Gunther growls loudly at the mention of the Collector. "I'm gonna kill him!" he mummbles loudly. Still, he nods. "Before Ingrge turned into de vorm, he said he vould tell de earth tingy to close up de tunnel behind us. I vonder if he did dat..." Gunther muses as he takes up a rear position.
Elemental Monday July 3rd, 2006 9:37:55 AM
As the talons move into the tunnel, the earth elemental moves in line behind them as if waiting for them to move on in.

Lian approaches Gunther and places a hand on his shoulder, looking at the large warrior. "I think you will have to wait in line behind Olana and Milo, my friend. I think their score is worth more."
Brother Bertram Monday July 3rd, 2006 9:31:14 PM
Bertram glances at the waiting Elemental, considers a moment, then casts one his few remaining spells. He prays to Gargul and Domi and tries to sense the presence of any of these evil fiends. (OOC Detect Evil)
Follow the Purple Worm Road (...er...Tunnel..?) - DM Donna Tuesday July 4th, 2006 1:54:30 AM
Ingrge the purple worm continues to tunnel out of the area, with the other Talons following carefully behind him.
Lian's spell feels curiously...flat. There seems to be no evil to detect.
K'Nara gives Olana a shocked and slightly saddened glance.
"Hopefully we can figure out what happened to Figment." she says a bit wistfully.
Brother Bertram casts his own Detect Evil spell--and he, too, feels a strange sort of void...as though the very nature of Harrowed Moon makes it impossible to magically pinpoint evil.
As the Talons slowly make their way through the worm-tunnel, the earth elemental seals up the passageway behind the group--thus insuring that (should anything even attempt to follow their path) anyone trying to pursue the party would have to waste a LOT of time and energy digging through solid earth.
DM OOC: the time will no longer be measured in rounds thanks to the clever tactics of the weapon mage...but the party will need to surface relatively soon, since sealing up the tunnel behind them cuts off any circulating air supply.

The monk seems to be getting a headache. He rubs his temple with his thumb. "No... evil?"
Falin Tuesday July 4th, 2006 12:56:55 PM
Watching the tunnel seal up behind them makes Falin feel alittle more at ease as he continues to follow the tunnel.
"Lian," says Falin, "Are you feeling alright? What do you mean no evil?"
Lian Tuesday July 4th, 2006 1:13:02 PM
"Something is suppressing my spell. Can you feel it too Bert?"
Brother Bertram AC 28 HP 84 Tuesday July 4th, 2006 1:34:00 PM
Bertram scratches at his beard thoughtfully, "Aye I feel it too, I had thought perhaps...well. What will be will be." He keeps his weapon out and ready for whatever may befall next.
Olana Tuesday July 4th, 2006 2:41:35 PM
Olana's face darkens. "Let's just get out of here." Now the elemental has blocked the tunnel, she is beginning to feel trapped and so unconsciously starts to walk faster.
